“Semester” sees Maqel comparing one-sided relationships to a semester, a half-year term of school. In this case, a girl can’t believe that her man cheated on her and she keeps the relationship going.
Unreciprocated love is a theme heard throughout Maqel’s debut album, Look Mom… I Can Fly!, in which...
[Intro]
Uh, uh
You think she loyal, uh
Bitch, I'm a stunna, um
My cash, I run it up
Uh, uh
You think she loyal, uh
Bitch, I'm a stunna, um
My cash, I run it up
(This is a robbery! Everybody get on the fuckin' ground!)
[Chorus]
I could never be what you want me to be
I don't act big and bad 'cause that's pointless to me
He don't let you see what he don't want you to see
You caught him in a lie, and, "It's not what you think"
He swear he didn't cheat, but that's not true
You still wonder why he's out but hasn't called you
He said that he'd do it later, then forgot to
If you still gon' take him back, I guess that's on you
[Verse 1]
This part for you ladies that complain about a nigga showin' effort
'Cause you always keep it short whenever I reach out to text ya
I'm not askin' for a lecture, you don't gotta be all extra
Can these feelings go both ways, or only half like a semester?
You don't know that, though
She not mine, I don't know that ho, yeah
But where I go, she go
I can't change, I just hope you know
[Chorus]
I could never be what you want me to be
I don't act big and bad 'cause that's pointless to me
He don't let you see what he don't want you to see
You caught him in a lie, and, "It's not what you think"
He swear he didn't cheat, but that's not true
You still wonder why he's out but hasn't called you
He said that he'd do it later, then forgot to
If you still gon' take him back, I guess that's on you
[Verse 2]
Ooh, ooh
You not comin' through, you not even comin' in
I be ridin' speedy when I'm in the minivan
Crazy, I just started, I don't know where this could end
But I'ma be a star, sorry, you not in the plans
Why you cappin'? You be lyin' through your teeth
Said you want to kick it, lil' nigga, that's in your dreams
Whenever I'm recording, I'm just vibin' with the beat
Sippin' on Capri Sun, no, I never sip the lean (Uh)
Bad bitch Selena
Ooh, I might speed up
She set me free, um
'Cause I don't need ya
[Pre-Chorus]
Uh, uh
You think she loyal, uh
Bitch, I'm a stunna, um
My cash, I run it up
(Uh uh)
[Chorus]
I could never be what you want me to be
I don't act big and bad 'cause that's pointless to me
He don't let you see what he don't want you to see
You caught him in a lie, and, "It's not what you think"
He swear he didn't cheat, but that's not true
You still wonder why he's out but hasn't called you
He said that he'd do it later, then forgot to
If you still gon' take him back, I guess that's on you
[Outro]
Uh, uh
You think she loyal, uh
Bitch, I'm a stunna, um
My cash, I run it up
