I Love You Boy by Russ
Lyrics & Translation
English
I love you, boy
Run before
They kill you, run
I love you, boy
Run before
They kill you, run (Yeah)
You grew up in a environment that was hostile and got wild
Arguments you heard as a small child had an effect
That left you with a lot to undo
Your first words was screamin' at your mom sayin', "Fuck you"
Imagine the visual, diaper on, already dealin' with the residual
Effects of an explosive father figure was difficult
Mama was miserable, his love felt conditional
You better be perfect, otherwise he'll be hypocritical
Belittle you 'til you nothin', yeah, hurts to listen
Neither parent knew how to regulate the nervous system
That was reactive, mom was fatalistic
No one to protect you, grandfather paid a visit
To take you and your siblings and your mama far away
Twenty-nine years later, she regrets that she stayed
You were doomed from the start, you were hurt and ostracized
There's a wound in your heart, survival mode, you traumatized (For real)
I love you, boy (I love you)
Run before
They kill you, run
I love you, boy
Run before
They kill you, run (Yeah)
The monster you created to protect the kid in you is hard to manage
Supreme confidence, deep cripplin' insecurity
The damage that's been done is explicit, and abusive and a critic
Nothin' that you ever do is really good enough, is it?
You didn't get validation from your dad
So you replaced him with the industry and started to rap
You wanted praise and acknowledgement and picked a profession that
People who look like you don't get, now the range of accomplishments
Bein' ignored, authoritative outside force
That you, yet again, apparently, aren't good enough for
All fueled you, your need to be liked and feel wanted consumed you
That's why you call a chick every night to come do you
Only to be left feelin' less than before
Didn't have the tools to manage stress, you at war
With yourself, you need love
Drinkin' to forget that bein' you is not enough
Overcompensatin' in interviews, tryna prove that you right
Maybe then you'll be liked
Tryna prove you're worthy of approval you weren't shown in your home
I'm sorry that I ever left you all alone
I love you, boy (I'm sorry)
Run before
They kill you, run
I love you, boy
Run before
They kill you, run (Yeah)
You deserve a pat on the back and a round of applause
The sound of this song makes you think I'm not proud, but you wrong
Look how far you took it, international bookings, you gave your family a cushion
And through the hate, you kept pushin'
Knew you had people lookin' up to you, you held your composure
As hell moved close to you, you a soldier, it's a shock that you were ever sober
I never told you how I feel, I apologize
Lot of guys would've folded, I guess I'm not surprised
You prophesized this from the get go
Anything you wanted, went and got it 'cause you said so
Packs of women fightin' over you like Shevchenko
Seven figure checks, private jets, your best friends know
Your character, you proved that by sharin' your
Successes and blessings, but when you hurt, we hurt
Breakdowns mean that it's time for a rebirth, so
You carried me as far as you could go
Now it's time to say goodbye, before I leave, you should know though, yeah
I love you, boy
Run before
They kill you, run
I love you, boy
Run before
They kill you, run

I Love You Boy (traducción LyricVerse Team)
Te amo, chico
Corre antes de que
Te maten, corre
Te amo, chico
Corre antes de que
Te maten, corre (Sí)
Creciste en un ambiente hostil y salvaje
Las discusiones que escuchaste de niño tuvieron un efecto
Que te dejó mucho por deshacer
Tus primeras palabras fueron gritarle a tu mamá diciendo: "Vete a la mierda"
Imagina la imagen, con pañal, ya lidiando con los residuos
Los efectos de una figura paterna explosiva fueron difíciles
Mamá era miserable, su amor se sentía condicional
Mejor sé perfecto, de lo contrario será hipócrita
Te menosprecia hasta que no eres nada, sí, duele escuchar
Ninguno de los padres sabía cómo regular el sistema nervioso
Que era reactivo, mamá era fatalista
Nadie para protegerte, el abuelo hizo una visita
Para llevarte a ti, a tus hermanos y a tu mamá lejos
Veintinueve años después, ella lamenta haberse quedado
Estabas condenado desde el principio, fuiste herido y ostracizado
Hay una herida en tu corazón, modo de supervivencia, estás traumatizado (De verdad)
Te amo, chico (Te amo)
Corre antes de que
Te maten, corre
Te amo, chico
Corre antes de que
Te maten, corre (Sí)
El monstruo que creaste para proteger al niño que hay en ti es difícil de manejar
Confianza suprema, profunda inseguridad paralizante
El daño que se ha hecho es explícito, abusivo y crítico
Nada de lo que haces es realmente suficiente, ¿verdad?
No obtuviste validación de tu papá
Así que lo reemplazaste con la industria y empezaste a rapear
Querías elogios y reconocimiento y elegiste una profesión que
La gente como tú no consigue, ahora el rango de logros
Siendo ignorado, una fuerza externa autoritaria
Para la que tú, una vez más, aparentemente, no eres lo suficientemente bueno
Todo te impulsó, tu necesidad de ser querido y sentirte deseado te consumió
Por eso llamas a una chica cada noche para que venga a complacerte
Solo para quedarte sintiéndote menos que antes
No tenías las herramientas para manejar el estrés, estás en guerra
Contigo mismo, necesitas amor
Bebiendo para olvidar que ser tú no es suficiente
Sobrecompensando en entrevistas, tratando de probar que tienes razón
Quizás entonces serás querido
Tratando de probar que eres digno de la aprobación que no te mostraron en casa
Lamento haberte dejado solo
Te amo, chico (Lo siento)
Corre antes de que
Te maten, corre
Te amo, chico
Corre antes de que
Te maten, corre (Sí)
Te mereces una palmada en la espalda y un aplauso
El sonido de esta canción te hace pensar que no estoy orgulloso, pero te equivocas
Mira lo lejos que llegaste, reservas internacionales, le diste a tu familia un colchón
Y a través del odio, seguiste empujando
Sabías que la gente te admiraba, mantuviste la compostura
Mientras el infierno se acercaba a ti, eres un soldado, es un shock que alguna vez estuvieras sobrio
Nunca te dije cómo me siento, me disculpo
Muchos chicos se habrían rendido, supongo que no me sorprende
Profetizaste esto desde el principio
Cualquier cosa que quisiste, fuiste y la conseguiste porque lo dijiste
Grupos de mujeres peleando por ti como Shevchenko
Cheques de siete cifras, jets privados, tus mejores amigos saben
Tu carácter, lo probaste compartiendo tus
Éxitos y bendiciones, pero cuando tú sufres, nosotros sufrimos
Los colapsos significan que es hora de un renacimiento, así que
Me llevaste tan lejos como pudiste
Ahora es tiempo de decir adiós, antes de irme, deberías saberlo, sí
Te amo, chico
Corre antes de que
Te maten, corre
Te amo, chico
Corre antes de que
Te maten, corre
