On this track Kota is reminiscing about the paths that led him to where he is right now. He’s especially expressing his love for his past lover who dragged him down. He seems to understand that hurt people hurt people.
[Verse 1]
Straight chilling, sipping liquor in the back yard
Straight living like i never had a bad thought
Still thankful for the blessings on my worst days
Glad i made it out the gutter, i was mad lost
I wonder if my mama love me still
I wonder if my dad fuck with me
Every day it felt like i was pushing boulders up the hill
Even if you feel like i'm worthless
I say i love you anyway like, flowers do the daylight
Love you and your flaws
Couldn't make you what you ain't like
Even when you try to put me down let Jehovah bring me up
You be steady talking down, but i still don't give a fuck
You come at me out of hate
I forgive you out of love
You been living with your pain
But been acting like you tough
And i get it, i ain't tripping, you ain't perfect and it shows
Over everything i feel like you should know
[Chorus]
That i love you any way like
Flowers do the daylight
Love you with your flaws
Couldn't make you what you ain't like
I love you any way like
Flowers do the daylight
Even when you dead wrong, look at you the same like
I love you anyway, like flowers do the rain
I said i love you anyway
Like flowers do the daylight
[Verse 2]
I remember days you was talking shit to bring me down
Clouds hanging over my head, never again
Who was you to talk down
Do you got your shit together
Are you keeping it a hunnid
Are you really any better than me
Or do it make you feel better about yourself when you telling me i ain't shit when really I'm just tryna live
And i believed it for a while until i realized that you just a bitch
Teasing me like scratching yo itch
Yo you a fucking trip
Cause now you wanna know why i'm distant and never come around
I don't even look in your eye or crack a smile
It's a thing called habit
I developed it young
But imma grind till your face look jealous and dumb
I don't care about the money but fuck it I'm getting to it
Cause you think that imma fail
I'm a winner and imma prove it
Finna tell me you feel bad for my son cause i'm his dad
You a bitter motherfucker and it's sad
[Chorus]
Still i love you any way like
Flowers do the daylight
Love you with your flaws
Couldn't make you what you ain't like
I love you any way like
Flowers do the daylight
Even when you dead wrong, look at you the same like
I love you anyway, like flowers do the rain
I said i love you anyway
Like flowers do the daylight
