Смысл текста песни "Nikki" исполнителя "Logic"

I can feel you in my lungs, feel you in my veins,

Bloodstream, only way to make it to my brain,

I tried some others but, man, they just not as good as you,

Going crazy ‘cause I only feel this good with you,

Maybe, I'm just not as strong as I once was,

When we're together lately, I don't even feel a buzz,

I'm addicted to this shit like it was hard drugs.

Nikki, baby, I love you, but now I gotta go,

‘Cause in the end what happens, you already know,

Probably, wonder where I been at, I been laying low,

But in my mind I'm wondering what I'm paying for.

All these other bitches on my dick but I can't fuck with that,

You the only girl I need, I gotta have you back,

Even though, you turn my lungs black,

Tell me, where you've been, jack?

Uh, I know this shorty that go by the name Mary,

I used to fuck her way back when I didn't know a thang,

Skipping school with all my homies on some truancy,

But when I ended things with her, it was just you and me.

Doing me good, that's what I thought at first,

Me and you together, swear to god, I saw that work,

Away from you, though, man, it's just so hard to work,

Uh, my heart is hard at work.

We been together like ten years, goddamn, took me as young man,

Everyday I wonder who I am, who will I be, where will I go,

What will they write upon my grave?

“A free man born as a king, who died as a slave,

But everything he gave her was for nothing, though.”

Oh no, I can't fade that shit, I gotta let you go.

You got me tripping like a flight to Vegas,

All this shit you got me doing, man, it's outrageous,

All I know is I'm living the life I never would,

Finally let you go, I thought I never could,

Don't get me wrong, can't forget the times shared,

Seem like everywhere I go, I always know you're there,

Tried to run but my legs won't, huh,

I look away but my head don't.

I love it when you're fresh,

I love it when I take your top off and we share the same breath,

I hate it that I need you, Nikki,

But I love it when I feed you, Nikki,

I hate that I bleed for you,

Uh, I long and I need for you,

But I love it when I taste you,

Nothing can replace you,

I wish I could erase you, you're everywhere I go,

But you're everywhere I long to be,

And all these other people that don't seem to understand

I'm just a man, they always ask, what's wrong with me,

Man, you're everything I crave,

You're the only thing I let in that would put me in the grave,

I'm a king, you're my Coretta,

But lately I been feeling like a slave for the nicotine.

Slave for the...

Said, I'm a slave for the nicotine.

Been a slave for ya,

I'm a mothafuckin' slave for ya,

Slave for the nicotine.

Nikki, Nikki, slave for ya,

I'm a slave for ya, Nikki,

I'm a mothafuckin' slave for ya.
