“Insecure” is the lead single for the second season of Issa Rae’s hit show Insecure.
Both Jazmine Sullivan and Bryson Tiller address the dormancy and insecurity within an intimate relationship from the male/female perspective.
Jazmine explains why she feels the pressure of insecurity from the male...
[Verse 1: Jazmine Sullivan]
Got a lot on my mind
I'm thinking I'm needing a break to clear up the clutter, dang man
Can I get a minute get some space, man
You been in my head, playing games man
You be way too controlling
Got me feeling like I can't breathe, I can't even hang with the homie
Ain't no reason not to trust me, I'm your lady not a slave
You my nigga not my master, I'll escape thinking who can I run to?
Got me looking for a new dude
With a chill vibe, who a nice time
Who can lay back, who don't pick fights, who ain't insecure
[Chorus: Jazmine Sullivan]
Why you gotta be so insecure?
When I did all I could do, but you be wanting more
And why you can't get up off my back
And I can take a lot of shit, but I won't take that
[Verse 2: Bryson Tiller]
Been a long time, ain't been home, I been away
Work got me in and out of state
Don't know what you're doing, wonder what you're doing
You got niggas in your face, I'll never let you go to waste
You're my treasure, baby, not my trash
Thirsties 'bout to make a nigga spaz
Why I treat you like a trophy, control freak
I tell you that's better than no freak
Find someone better you can go free
Stop trippin', girl, you know me, I'm your homie
Don't cut it off, we done said it all and we done it all
I want it all for myself
Sorry if I'm coming off insecure (ooh, yeah, yeah)
[Chorus: Jazmine Sullivan]
Why you gotta be so insecure?
When I did all I could do, but you be wanting more
And why you can't get up off my back
And I can take a lot of shit, but I won't take that
[Verse 3: Jazmine Sullivan]
Don't you know that trust is important?
Ever heard of that, is it foreign to you?
Is a good time really boring to you?
You be on your Suge Knight, always trying to fight
You a bully or a lover?
Are you my man or my big brother?
Baby, somethin' wrong with this picture
You make it hard to wanna stay with ya
I'm your lady, not a slave
You my nigga, not my master, I'll escape
Thinking who can I run to?
Got me looking for a new dude
I'm a good girl but you reachin'
'bout to make me give you reason to be insecure
[Chorus: Jazmine Sullivan]
Why you gotta be so insecure? (so insecure)
When I did all I could do, but you be wanting more (but you be wanting more and more and more and more and more and more)
And why you can't get up off my back
And I can take a lot of shit, but I won't take that (but I won't take that)
No, I won't take that no more

Been following @issarae since “awkward black girl”. Then one night I stumbled across one of my current fave shows @insecurehbo Decided to write a song! Super excited to have the lead single for the Insecure soundtrack.
