    SZA got me through the aftermath of an emotionally abusive relationship. I am grateful. I still struggle to this day, but she seems to read my soul and relay every part of me in her lyrics. She captures the complexity of human emotion in every single song. I am grateful.

    powerful verse for anyone who has ever been angry or hurt and went to alcohol or drugs to ease that hurt anger is toxic to us and drains youth
    stay positive but always real
    anger can become bitterness ,being alienated by family
    & loved ones hurts more than anything
    My daddy still can't stand me
    That hate don't make you hard
    Hate'll make you old
    Haters gone too far
    Hate is all I know
    And I just can't stay sober
    I can't stay sober

Artist cjange throughout there career but that way you habe they're demos of music to appreciate their growth and to go back and enjoy her body of work. She didnt change she just evolved as i like to see it.

      Blue Pudding it’s not that I don’t appreciate her music or her evolving ... her latest stuff just simply doesn’t even match the person at all. Even Frank Ocean disappeared for 4 years and we still knew it was him even though his music was complete different. This sza and CTRL Sza is evolved ... DJ Khaled/Game of thrones SZA is a brand new artist!

    It's been 6 years since I heard this song, and I just heard it this morning again and I went down crying.
    Been 6 years since the love of my life left me because I was weak, and after that I went almost 6 years struggling with alcohol.
    I recognize that it was my fault the relationship didnt work and alcohol did not help me get through my problems.
    But now I've been getting better, finally fighting back. This song is very beautiful, hope it helps more people put there.
    You can live a happy life without these things, just dont drink for the wrong reasons, it will kill you slowly.

    today i ended something i had with this guy for 7 years. i currently feel empty and hurt because he was the person that made me feel worthy of love even though he didn’t really show it. it was just good to know that i wasn’t alone, even when his mind was completely somewhere else.
    this song has gotten me through so much for the past 4 years but today for the first time, this song made me embrace heartbreak, loneliness and pain all at the same time

Well 6 years later I still bump this song to remind me how far I’ve come along. Happy, healthy and getting married in 6mos to the love of my life! Thanks Sza for this gem.💛 it has helped a lot of us through

You deserve Love. You Deserve whatever your heart desires. I know your hurting and I know I don’t know you but I’m here for you and I know others are. It’s hard to trust when people f you over or things don’t work out but listen close brother sufferings & mistakes lurk. Happiness and bliss also lurk only the strong will absorb the pain become even stronger and see the beautiful blissful side of this existence.It is never an easy path the righteous one.

    I don't understand how is it that this song doesn't have more ratings.. People don't know good music.. I can relate to this song so much.. Because I'm at high school right now and I'm writting my finals and its turning me into this stress freak.. I wanna get good grade and make my mom proud.. But I don't know why I'm doubting myself.. It seems impossible for me.. I even get anxiety attacks sometimes.. And going out and getting drunk seems to be the only thing that helps me.. I'm so young but going through so much hell in my life and being sober seems to bring me more pain

      SUG0175753 Gambino went about it in a different way, she isnt talking about inebriation and relationships, gambino is more about the transition between inebriation and sobriety or the attempt at that. They are two very different artists, two different styles and intentions

    Verse 1]
    I had a dream last night you gave me a ring
    With a fucking castle on it
    And a diamond on top, that's all I really wanted
    Whoa oh
    Whoa
    Until two aliens came and chopped both our heads off
    With samurai swords
    At least we died together, that's what I thought
    I woke up huggin' leather, am I out of pocket?
    [Pre-Chorus]
    She ain't got no soul
    She ain't got no heart
    Love will stunt your growth
    Love will make it hard to stay sober
    So hard to stay sober
    [Chorus]
    I'mma be fine anyway
    I'mma be cool
    I'mma keep calm
    I'mma be right anyway
    Better than you, better than her
    I'mma be on anyway
    I'mma be on/off anyway
    I'mma be on/off anyway
    [Verse 2]
    I been through like six Swishers
    In one day with one grape and one blueberry
    What would my mother say? She’d want me to be married
    And happy and whole, not high and alone
    Whoa, that Xanax make you trip, I still ain't got no whip
    I still ain't got no friends
    At least I got my family, bullshit
    My daddy still can't stand me
    [Pre-Chorus]
    That hate don't make you hard
    Hate'll make you old
    Haters gone too far
    Hate is all I know
    And I can't stay sober
    I can't stay sober
    You should see the look on your face
    [Chorus]
    I'mma be fine anyway
    I'mma be cool
    I'mma keep calm
    I'mma be right anyway
    Better than you, better than her
    I'mma be on anyway
    I'mma be on/off anyway
    I'mma be on/off anyway
    [Outro]
    Just can't stay sober
    I'm just trying to stay alive
    I can't stay sober
    I'm just trying to stay alive
    I can't stay sober, I
    Alive
    I don't know man
