Don't

Not the Ed Sheeran One

Don't by Bryson Tiller

"This song's content can be relatable to many of your readers. The lyrics create a sort of intimate imagery that fits the cross genre of trap/soul, which is also the name of the album."

I really hope this song's content isn't relatable to too many of my readers, seeing as it's about a girl who's in a relationship with someone who isn't treating her very well. Bryson Tiller says he wrote Don't when he "wasn't doing what I needed to be doing in my relationship...and I was kind of f***ing up." He wrote it from the perspective of a guy stepping in at that time and trying to steal his girl. (x)

If you relate to the girl in this situation, then listen: You're better than this. Get out now. If you relate to the guy stepping in and yelling at the boyfriend: I see you. Nice of you to try to help, but be careful not to overstep. If you relate to the asshole boyfriend: Don't.

But I agree that the lyrics are intimate.

Tiller gives some great advice to himself. Don't play with her; don't be dishonest. I can respect this dude for stepping up and admitting that he could and should be doing better in his relationship.

F*** him, girl.

Gotta be sick of this guy.

Taking responsibility. I dig it.

The track sounds amazing considering that Tiller literally "made this shit in his living room." (x) That's a testament to technology these days, but I think it also says a lot about the talent of the artist himself. Props.

As the recommender said, Don't is from an album called "trapsoul," and the sound is definitely cool. It's got a relaxed beat, and the rapping...flow's smooth like expensive whiskey. Reminds me of Drake.

I wasn't into King Vory's verse at first, but it adds interest to have such a different timbre of voice thrown in there. It's smooth in its own way.

Also, I love the part right after that third verse where it goes silent for a second, and then you hear "Don't-" one last time before the outro. It's just very cool. Song is lit.
