Raw vulnerability pours through every line of this emotional journey, revealing a soul caught between love and trauma. 💔 The artist navigates complex emotions—avoiding someone he loves to protect them while simultaneously finding safety in their presence. His contradictions ("I'm a killer but I feel safe with you") highlight his internal struggle. Childhood trauma shapes his present reality, with powerful references to witnessing his mother's abuse and feeling unable to smile. The mention of "Trey lost trial" during his birthday week shows how personal loss continues to compound his pain. Despite his tough exterior, he's desperately seeking support: "I know I always save the day but today I need a shoulder." The repeated refrain of "I been tryin'" emphasizes his ongoing battle to heal while the distance he creates ("Runnin' away from you lovin' you from a distance") reveals his fear of vulnerability. The basketball metaphor beautifully captures his view of love as both a game and a gamble, requiring risk and trust from someone who's been deeply hurt. 🏀 #HealingJourney #TraumaAndLove #VulnerableTruth
