2004 Lyrics
[Verse 1: YG]
When I was young, I got raped by a bitch twice my age
Picked me up from school to meet at hers and got laid
Ever since that day, I never looked at shit the same
Fucked up in the brain, pussy what I blame
Fried so you know why I like chicken wings
My life is insane like I’m from baby gang
How I’m ‘posed to change with all this fucked up shit I seen?
Fucked up, yeah, I know
Fucked up and some more
I’m so used to fucked up, I get fucked up at the show
Fucked up, yeah, I know
How fucked up could it go?
Nipsey left me like how Biggie left Hov, woah
And Slim got his life stole
Tellin’ myself, I be aight though
Shit really fuckin’ with my cycle
My lil’ bitch lost her life, gettin’ lipo
[Chours: Buddy]
They tell me don’t worry
They ask me if I’m okay
Motherfuckers don’t deserve me
Not even on my worst day
This life shit crazy
Grew up at a young age
Oh, babe
Why you had to hurt me?
[Verse 2: YG]
Okay, now back when I was at juvie and shit
Got used for the dick, I ain’t even know what to do with the bitch
Confused a bit
Her niece, I went to school with the bitch
My screws loose, who got the tools to fix?
So I went to the homies and we talked about it
They thought exotic
That was they only thoughts about it
Dick hard ’cause her clothes, she stripped all up out it
Hypnotized from them hips and thighs, all hypnotic
Yeah, that’s when I bust my first nut
Young nigga with his dick all in a grown up
With the shits in real quick, how I growed up
Got took advantage of and I liked it, so what?
Y’all call that sex abuse, shit
I just thought, she was doin’ some cool shit
If I woulda told mama ’bout the new shit
The bitch prolly woulda been up on the news clip
[Chours: Buddy]
They tell me don’t worry
They ask me if I’m okay
Motherfuckers don’t deserve me
Not even on my worst day
This life shit crazy
Grew up at a young age
Oh, babe
Why you had to hurt me?
[Verse 3: YG]
So just think before the next time you start askin’
Why is you like that? Why is you savage?
Why every ho you fuck with is never long lastin’?
No access to my heart, I give no passage
A bitch took advantage of me, I ain’t got no trust
The bitch took advantage of me, I ain’t give no fucks
At fourteen years old, I got my dick sucked
At fourteen years old, I got my dick fucked
The ho was thirty years old and I never told
Was dating her niece when it happened, it was wearin’ on my soul
I ain’t wanna spill the tea, so I just let her go
‘Cause me and the auntie kept fuckin’ for sure
And oh, one day, I feel like this was too much
I knew this wasn’t regular as I grew up
So told me eat her ass, after that, I threw up
Ooh, can’t believe I had my face in her butt
[Chours: Buddy]
They tell me don’t worry (Worry)
They ask me if I’m okay (Okay)
Motherfuckers don’t deserve me (Deserve me)
Not even on my worst day (Worst day)
This life shit crazy (Crazy)
Grew up at a young age (Grew up at a young, young age)
Oh, babe (Oh, babe)
Why you had to hurt me? (Oh)
[Outro: The Gang & Buddy]
You don’t deserve-erve me
You tried to hurt, hurt me
You don’t deserve-erve me
You don’t, no, baby
You don’t, no
You don’t deserve-erve me (Don’t)
You tried to hurt, hurt me
Don’t
Oh, babe
2004 Lyrics Meaning
[Verse 1: YG]
In the opening verse, YG reflects on a disturbing childhood experience where he was taken advantage of by an older woman. He recalls how this event shifted his perspective on life, altering his perception of relationships and intimacy. The verse reveals how these early encounters led to psychological turmoil, making it difficult for him to process emotions in a healthy way. He ties his struggles to his environment, referencing gang affiliations and personal losses, particularly the deaths of Nipsey Hussle and Slim 400. The verse captures a sense of numbness and desensitization, as YG grapples with trauma, loss, and the harsh realities of his upbringing.
[Chorus: Buddy]
Buddy’s chorus serves as the emotional core of the song, encapsulating the pain and confusion YG has endured. The lyrics express feelings of betrayal and unworthiness, emphasizing how deeply these experiences have affected his self-worth. The lines suggest that despite external reassurances, the wounds from his past remain, leaving him to question why he was subjected to such pain. The repetition of “they tell me don’t worry” contrasts with his internal suffering, highlighting the disconnect between outward support and personal healing.
[Verse 2: YG]
YG continues his candid storytelling, revisiting another instance of sexual exploitation from his youth. This time, he describes an encounter in juvenile detention, where he was manipulated into a sexual situation before fully understanding its implications. The verse explores the normalization of such experiences within his social circles, as his peers viewed it as a rite of passage rather than abuse. This lack of recognition further complicated his ability to process the event, causing him to internalize it rather than seek help. His detailed descriptions emphasize the confusion and long-term psychological effects of these encounters, reinforcing the song’s central theme of unresolved trauma.
[Chorus: Buddy]
Repeating the chorus, Buddy reinforces the song’s emotional weight, echoing the sense of betrayal and hurt. His melodic delivery adds to the haunting nature of the song, making it clear that YG’s pain is deeply ingrained and not easily dismissed. The chorus acts as both a lament and a plea for understanding, as he struggles with the emotional consequences of his past.
[Verse 3: YG]
In the final verse, YG confronts the long-term impact of his past experiences, addressing how they have shaped his emotional detachment and distrust. He reveals how his early exposure to abuse distorted his views on relationships and intimacy, making it difficult for him to form meaningful connections. The verse also highlights his realization that these events were not normal, as he reflects on them with a more mature perspective. However, even with this awareness, he acknowledges the lingering effects, illustrating the difficulty of breaking free from deeply rooted trauma. The final lines depict a moment of physical revulsion, symbolizing his subconscious rejection of what was forced upon him.
[Chorus: Buddy]
Buddy’s last chorus maintains the song’s melancholic tone, reinforcing the enduring pain and unanswered questions that haunt YG. The repetition of the phrase “you don’t deserve me” suggests an attempt to reclaim self-worth, despite the emotional scars left behind.
[Outro: The Gang & Buddy]
The outro builds upon the song’s central message, with The Gang and Buddy reiterating the themes of betrayal and suffering. The repeated lines emphasize the cycle of pain and mistrust, bringing the song to a poignant and reflective close. Through these final moments, YG encapsulates the emotional weight of his past, leaving listeners with a raw and unfiltered glimpse into his struggles.
