about
As this J Dilla-influenced track vibrates through the speakers, one is taken by the sweet, soft voice that follows. In her debut single, 444 dust conveys the frustration that comes with fair-weather friends.
lyrics
I ain't got the time to connect, like I used to
I ain't got the patience for shit, like I used to
As I age
And my boundaries layer, brick by brick
As I sit
As I sit
You wasn't really there back then
You don't really know who I am
You never really were a friend
So how you know back then
I lost it
(If you look inside, maybe you'll see)
I lost it
(I used, I used, I used to endure)
I lost it
I lost myself again
(I used, I used, I used to endure)
I lost it
(If you look inside, maybe you'll see)
(I used, I used, I used to endure)
I lost it
I lost myself again
When you have other people out there, probably…doing worse
And criticizing you
Those people outside of you, don't fucking matter
Why
Because they don't pay your bills
They don't care whether you slept, ate, shit, or, uhm, or living
Unless they need something or want someone to hang out with
You wasn't really there back then
You don't really know who I am
You never really were a friend
So how you know back then
As I sit
And my boundaries layer, brick by brick
As I sit
