My Boy Lyrics

My boy's being sus', he was shady enough, but now he's just a shadow
My boy loves his friends like I love my splitends, and by that I mean
He cuts 'em off
(What?!)
My boy
My boy
My boy
Don't love me like he promised
My boy
My boy
My...

    She suspects her boyfriend of cheating on her because hes being agressive trying to cuss but failing because hes just trying to be like his father. I suspect that he was dealing with neglect himself and seemed like he was angry but he was just trying to cope with his own pain but in the end he ended up hurting Billie. Thats what I think anyway

    i think that her "boyfriend" (idk ig) is doing some shady/suspicious stuff lately. "he don't love me like he promised." cHeateR. "he's just a shadow." he's never around anymore! he's become a shadow in the background of her life.
    "he ain't a man" a real man would NEVER EVER cheat on his gf. PERIOD. "alright dude, go trip over a knife." she's basically saying "fuck that dude. he's dead to me. he can go trip over a knife for all i care. he didn't treat me right." that's the basic gist of what i got from the song.

    I think this is what it means, but what I am having trouble understanding is what this means,"My boy loves his friends like I love my split ends, and by that I mean
    He cuts 'em off." Can somebody tell me what this means?

    I interpret That she is in love with a man and hes acting really shady.. She falls out of love. "Alright Dude. Go trip over a knife" pretty much means That she hates him now.

    I think it's about being in love with a narcissist that's got bored.

    he's prob just being suspicious and Billie is trying to figure out why. prob just a cheater or even a player.

    Okay, so the way I see this song, is that a guy may be cheating on a girl or may have been unfair to a girl. He could've lied to her, for example he could've told her that he'll love her forever, but, the next day he'll just drop her and move to another girl. So basically where I'm going with this, in simplest terms: he's a player.

    Billie is exploring a relationship where she knows that her boy is lying to her.
