You liked me till you heard my shit on the radio Well I hate to say but pop ain't going solo You liked me till you heard my shit on the radio But now I'm just too mainstream for you, oh no You liked me till you seen me on your TV Well if you're so low below then why you watching You say good things come to those who wait I've been waiting a long time for it I remember the days when I was so eager to satisfy you Be less then I was just to prove I could walk beside you Now that I've flown away I see you've chosen to stay behind me Still you curse the day I decided to stay true to myself You say your quest is to bring it higher Well I never seen change without a fire But from your mouth I have seen a lot of burning But underneath I think it's a lot of yearning Your face, the colors change from green to yellow To the point where you can't even say hello You tell me you'd kill me if I ever snob you out Like that's what you'd expect from me, like that's what I'm about I remember the days when I was so eager to satisfy you And be less then I was just to prove I could walk beside you Now that I've flown away I see you've chosen to stay behind me And still you curse the day I decided to stay true to myself It's so much easier to stay down there guaranteeing you're cool Than to sit up here exposing myself trying to break through Than to burn in the spotlight hoping fine Turn in the spitfire hoping fine, scream without making a sound (Hoping fine) Be here and looking down (Hoping fine) Because we're all afraid of heights I remember the days when I was so eager to satisfy you And be less then I was just to prove I could walk beside you Now that I've flown away I see you've chosen to stay behind me And now you curse the day I decided to stay true to myself Myself, myself, myself, myself, myself, myself [Incomprehensible] Why ya hurt me, hurt me, hurt me, hurt me, hurt me, hurt me, so so Leave me down, down, down, down low, leave me down Da down, down da down da down, down, down [Incomprehensible] Shit on the radio Shit on the radio Shit on the radio Shit on the radio Shit on the radio

    General Comment:I feel like she's trying to say when she succeeded herself (possibly going against what other people told her or believed she could do) and some people naturally got jealous/envious and didn't hide it well, and now she feels vindicated & figures hey if they're mad me at for succeeding, that's not cool, I'll bust out this rhyme about it... But I also get the sense she doesn't really wanna play that game anymore.

    So all in all, its a song. Sometimes its easier to express certain things through music/writing/art... stuff that words don't quite do just or for stuff want to keep to yourself or veiled in someway. It can help soften the blow.

    Nelly rocks.
