Yo where the brother by my side at?
Yo you really need to stop that
Get it right!
It’s not even like that
Try to get a job before we living outta box black
Put it on that and here’s ya demo you can shop that
It’s funny how things turn around
Last night you tryna get down you act like you down
Any other time it’s like you steady hating on Brown
I’m tryna see my name in lights you tryna short out the ground
You’re the one that’s got it twisted cause I’m right by your side
I had a bad day you jumping on my back for a ride
What can a man say I’m on the run, just for your auditioning
Calling on you every night it’s like you never listening
You’re the one that’s switching up getting to specifics
When you say that I’m just dreaming I be rolling like a Michelin
Carmen you just tripping cause you know I love you infinite
Just so we could be here look at everything I did for this
So why you acting like that
You don’t have to take it anymore fight back
I came to far to turn around and just hike back
Trying to get me sidetracked see me on the corner where the sign of the time
At
Yo where the brother by my side at?
Yo you really need to stop that
Get it right!
It’s not even like that
Try to get a job before we living outta box black
Put it on that and here’s ya demo you can shop that
Yo where the brother by my side at?
Yo you really need to stop that
Get it right!
It’s not even like that
Try to get a job before we living outta box black
Put it on that and here’s ya demo you can shop that
And yo I came from the projects now I want the condos
Trying to be a star and now you messing up my cosmos
But you can’t find something if you walking with a blindfold
Carmen I can see right through you with my eyes closed
Grown man to finance
You acting like a nuisance
You’re the one that’s in the club and trying to do a new dance
Songs you got me singing like my name was Bobbly Blubland
Don’t make me sing ’em cause the game you playing baby two can
Confronting Tension and Ambition
In “Stop That!” by Beyonce, the lyrics explore the struggles and emotional push-and-pull in a relationship burdened by doubt, ambition, and the quest for support. The song’s narrator calls out a partner for inconsistency and lack of encouragement, while also expressing frustration about distractions from personal goals. The repeated refrain, “Yo where the brother by my side at? Yo you really need to stop that,” highlights a yearning for loyalty and understanding during tough times, as well as a demand for accountability and growth. The verses touch on themes of perseverance, self-improvement, and the realities faced when one’s dreams are met with skepticism. Ultimately, the track is both a plea for partnership and a confident assertion of resilience.
