“Who Hurt You?” is Daniel Caesar’s first release of 2018. He has stayed relatively inactive aside from features on the Jessie Reyes track “Figures, a Reprise,” Peter Cottontale’s “Forever Always,” and most recently on the Free Nationals track “Beauty and Essex.”
The song describes Daniel’s experien...
[Verse 1: Daniel Caesar]
Take me back to Georgia, back to Atlanta
Funny how present turns past
I might fly Priscilla out just for 'Bana
So mesmerized by that ass
The way she moves it I can tell that she loves me
Nigga can't help but to touch
Smack it 'round a bit then sip on some bubbly
Hope I'm not doing too much
[Refrain: Daniel Caesar]
Strange new addictions picked up on the road
Changed my opinions and changed up my flows
Changed my approach, no more loving these hoes
And when it rains it pours, yeah
[Pre-Chorus: Daniel Caesar]
You make me feel so primal and
That's what I am, I'm just a man
[Chorus: Daniel Caesar & T-Pain]
Take that pussy, drop it in my lap
I love it when you move like that
Now turn around and throw it back, it back, it back (I'm just a man)
Oh-no-no-no-no-oh-oh
[Verse 2: T-Pain & Daniel Caesar with T-Pain]
Strippers out in Vegas, New Orleans too
Booties just don't shake like Priscilla's do
Follies on a Tuesday, not one but two
Not one stack or two
Look at all the cash I blew
Strippers out in Vegas, New Orleans too
Booties just don't shake like Priscilla's do
Follies on a Tuesday, not one but two
Not one stack or two
Look at all the cash I blew
[Refrain: Daniel Caesar, T-Pain, & Both]
Strange new addictions picked up on the road (Oh, up on the road)
Changed my opinions and changed up my flows (Oh, up my flows)
Changed my approach, no more loving these hoes (Changed my approach, loving these hoes)
And when it rains it pours, yeah
[Pre-Chorus: Daniel Caesar]
You make me feel, yes, so primal and
That's what I am, I'm just a man
[Chorus: Daniel Caesar]
Take that pussy, drop it in my lap
I love it when you move like that
Now turn around and throw it back, it back, it back
Who Hurt You? was written by Daniel Caesar.
Who Hurt You? was produced by Matthew Burnett & Jordan Evans.
Daniel Caesar released Who Hurt You? on Tue Oct 16 2018.
Daniel said that a stripper from Atlanta’s Follies strip club, which he gave about $3400, inspired him to make this song. Also, he lost his phone in her apartment. So that song is like a letter to find her. The day before the release of the song, he created a page on Craigslist to find her.
