Catfish

Ba da da
Da da da da dmm
Mhm

Catfish hoppin' out the water
Tell me why
Why do hide from me?
Why can't you slide?
Catfish slippin' thru my fingers
I know why
You don't wanna be caught
They put your heart on ice

Mhmmm
Mhmmm
Mhmmm
Mhmmm

Catfish hoppin' out the water
Tell me why
Why do hide from me?
Why can't you slide?
Catfish slippin' thru my fingers
I know why
You don't wanna be caught
They put your heart on ice

Just walk with me, walk with me
Talk to me, talk to me, talk to me
Just walk with me, walk with me
Talk to me, talk to me, talk to me
Mhmhm

Catfish hoppin' out the water
Tell me why
Why do hide from me?
Why can't you slide?
Catfish slippin' thru my fingers
I know why
You don't wanna be caught
They put your heart on ice

I was like 7 years old
Daddy caught a catfish
Wit' a golf club
Whacked it out the water
As it swam to the shore
I swore Mr. Carter
Was Clark Kent that day
Couldn't tell us nothin'
Me and bubba was amazed
Til next year he ran
Like Kuta Kinte
8 or 9 years til I saw him again
Rejection got me searchin'
Left me hooked online
At 19 shawty to fine to decline
Brown skin mocha diva
Had me glued to the screen
Conversation beamed
I was stripped of my confidence
I didn't see your the value
You didn't have esteem
Everything ain't what it seems
Everything ain't what it seems

You said ya mama was abusive
I know that was tragic
Said ya daddy was a user
Maybe it makes sense why
We had this fatal attraction
My father wasn't active
I wonder to this day
Is that why I'm passive
Maybe it's the reason
That I'm using you traffic
It was special in the darkness
I call it black magic
We never lacked passion
I told you everything
You said you was touched by ya pastor
I tried to share the gospel witchu
But it never clicked
The ancestors came and snatched you
Now you trust the universe
Tried to take your life
But I told you that you mattered
The world is in his hands
And I know you lost faith
I still pray you see the latter
And that he's chasing after
Hurt people hurt people
Aint truth
I ain't judging you
Cuz you know I did the same
Lie bout who I am
Cuz I was really ashamed

Catfish hoppin' out the water
Tell me why
Why do hide from me?
Why can't you slide?
Catfish slippin' thru my fingers
I know why
You don't wanna be caught
They put your heart on ice
