CATFISH Lyrics

Ba da da

Da da da da dmm

Mhm

Catfish hoppin' out the water

Tell me why

Why do hide from me?

Why can't you slide?

Catfish slippin' thru my fingers

I know why

You don't wanna be caught

They put your heart on ice

Mhmmm

Mhmmm

Mhmmm

Mhmmm

Catfish hoppin' out the water

Tell me why

Why do hide from me?

Why can't you slide?

Catfish slippin' thru my fingers

I know why

You don't wanna be caught

They put your heart on ice

Just walk with me, walk with me

Talk to me, talk to me, talk to me

Just walk with me, walk with me

Talk to me, talk to me, talk to me

Mhmhm

Catfish hoppin' out the water

Tell me why

Why do hide from me?

Why can't you slide?

Catfish slippin' thru my fingers

I know why

You don't wanna be caught

They put your heart on ice

I was like 7 years old

Daddy caught a catfish

Wit' a golf club

Whacked it out the water

As it swam to the shore

I swore Mr. Carter

Was Clark Kent that day

Couldn't tell us nothin'

Me and bubba was amazed

Til next year he ran

Like Kunta Kinte

8 or 9 years til I saw him again

Rejection got me searchin'

Left me hooked online

At 19, shawty to fine to decline

Brown skin mocha diva

Had me glued to the screen

Conversation beamed

I was stripped of my confidence

I didn't see your the value

You didn't have esteem

Everything ain't what it seems

Everything ain't what it seems

You said ya mama was abusive

I know that was tragic

Said ya daddy was a user

Maybe it makes sense why

We had this fatal attraction

My father wasn't active

I wonder to this day

Is that the reason that I'm passive

Maybe it's the reason

That I'm using you

It was special in the darkness

I call it black magic

We never lacked passion

I told you everything

You said you was touched by ya pastor

I tried to share the Gospel witchu

But it never clicked

The ancestors came and snatched you

Now you trust the universe

Tried to take your life

But I told you that you mattered

The world is in his hands

And although you lost faith

I still pray you see the latter

And that he's chasing after

Hurt people hurt people

Ain't that the truth

I ain't judging you

Cuz you know I did the same

Lie bout who I am

Cuz I was really ashamed

Catfish hoppin' out the water

Tell me why

Why do hide from me?

Why can't you slide?

Catfish slippin' thru my fingers

I know why

You don't wanna be caught

They put your heart on ice
