Distracted Lyrics

[Chorus: Bibi Bourelly & Russ, Bibi Bourelly]
Can't get distracted right now
Can't happen right now
I gotta go, come back around
And if you ain't still there
It wasn't meant to be
I can't get distracted right now
Can't happen right now
I gotta go, come back around
And if you aren't there
Then it is what it is

[Verse 1: Russ]
I don't really wanna leave
But I know I gotta leave
Now I can't sleep
Please, wait for me
It's somethin' that I gotta do
I'ma think about you
While I'm away
I'm leavin' today
Gotta see my visions come true
That don't mean I don't love you
Say you understand, I need that
Promise you, I'ma be back
And breathe
Can't live in peace, baby
[Chorus: Bibi Bourelly & Russ, Bibi Bourelly]
Can't get distracted right now
Can't happen right now
I gotta go, come back around
And if you ain't still there
It wasn't meant to be
I can't get distracted right now
Can't happen right now
I gotta go, come back around
And if you aren't there
Then it is what it is

[Verse 2: Russ]
Been too many moons since I
Seen your face, I'll admit, ah, this
Journey is tough
Am I worthy enough?
Or should I just turn around and come back?
Fuck that
I wouldn't forgive myself if I don't give myself
Everything I got, I'm sorry I left you, but
If I come back now, I know I'll resent you
Gotta keep goin', gotta heed all this
All of these moments hard to find (It's 'bout time)

[Chorus: Bibi Bourelly & Russ, Bibi Bourelly]
Can't get distracted right now
Can't happen right now
I gotta go, come back around
And if you ain't still there
It wasn't meant to be
I can't get distracted right now
Can't happen right now
I gotta go, come back around
And if you aren't there
Then it is what it is
[Outro: Russ]
Ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh
Ooh

What did Russ say about "Distracted"?
Genius Answer

Me snapping out of it realizing that I gotta get on my shit. I gotta get back on a path towards the “pyramids” which is just my treasure. The treasure is self-mastery, self-love, self-validation, self-understanding, and acceptance. I had to leave the mental, physical, emotional, and spiritual state I was in to get back on track and head towards my goal. It’s not that my girl was a negative. It’s that she made it even easier for me to be complacent with my self-mastery because along with my house and money etc, she added to this feeling of “well clearly I WON so lemme just stop now”. I forgot what I was actually goin after.
