Joyner Lucas - Lullaby Lyrics
I wonder if you often think about what you became
Do you ever wonder if you ever truly changed?
Cause honestly I'm lost and I don't know who to blame
I need some help cause I don't know what else to soothe the pain
I watch you raise me as a baby so over protective
When you told me that you loved me I can tell you meant it
And it never took for you to try to ever show your efforts
But we was connected through the heavens though I felt your soul
And that alone is just a feeling some will never know
I bump my head and you consoled me as you held me close
And I wonder where went wrong but I guess I'll never know
Cause ever since I grown I felt like you been kind of giving up
And it seems like everything I do is just not good enough
Shit, we don't have the type of bond we used to have before
And I ain't mad at all I just wonder if you recall the day that I was born, when you used to sing to me like
La la la la la la la la
(You used to sing to me like)
La la la la la la la la la
(You used to sing to me)
La la la la la la la la
(Yeah, you used to sing to me like)
La la la la la la la la
I wonder if you often think about what you became
Cause honestly I'm lost and I don't know who to blame
Nigga I need some help, cause I don't know what else to soothe the pain
My father died when I was five and I ain't cry at all
I never knew him he just disappeared and I'm not sure if he knew I would grow up to be ruthless, I don't hide my flaws
A young woman with a body and a mind like yours, cause we a lot alike
I mean that's prolly' why I felt connected
And when we met I was so innocent but slowly tempted
When you told me that you loved me boy I know you meant it
You sucked the soul out of my body with your own intentions
Now I'm stuck inside a life of prostitution, no discretion
And all you do is beat my ass and leave me slowly breathless
But we don't have the type of bond we used to have before
La la la la la la la la
(You used to sing to me like)
La la la la la la la la la
(You used to sing to me)
La la la la la la la la
(Yeah, you used to sing to me like)
La la la la la la la la
I wonder if you often think about what I became
And do you ever wonder if I ever truly changed?
Cause honestly I'm lost and I don't know who to blame
Listen, I need some help cause I don't know what else to soothe the pain
I used to watch movies about you a whole lot before
I read about you back in school when I was kind of bored
Now I'm ashamed and embarrassed I truly got involved
Cause you gave me a feeling some shit that I never felt before
And I ain't trying to make excuses but inside I'm torn
And you was there for me at times I couldn't find the lord
And all I had to do was inject you and lock the doors
So I can feel some type of peace while I dreamed and go watch the stars
And that alone is just a feeling some will never know
But now I'm rotting, it's not the same as I felt before
We don't have the type of bond we used to have before
But I ain't mad at all I just wonder if you recall sticking you in my arms when you used to sing to me like
La la la la la la la la
(You used to sing to me like)
La la la la la la la la la
(You used to sing to me)
La la la la la la la la
(Yeah, you used to sing to me like)
La la la la la la la la

Joyner Lucas Lullaby Comments
Nobody can fucking say this song is bad. The feel of all of this. It hit so fucking hard that it brought me to tears.
Can just listen to this while on a roadtrip and it's night.
lalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalala lalalalalalalalalalalala
verse 1: dad and sister
verse 2: nobody
verse 3: dad
Verse 1:Mom
Verse 2:BF
Verse 3: heroine
Anyone else ever had a childhood without their dad?
Mac Miller would have been 🔥 on this beat. RIP Mac 🥺
Over the last 5 years, my stepmother and my stepsister passed away. My mom passed away in November and my stepsister in December 2018. Upon many other people man. Joyner Lucas makes music that speaks to the soul. Your music keeps me alive. Thank you bro.
OK for the people who didn't get the song
The perspective Joyner is singing in is a girl
There's a story here
And verse 1- her mom
Verse2- bf
Verse3- heroine
Definitely talking about doing heroin!!!
Joyner!!!!! 🤟🏾💯🤙🏾
Me: this seems like a chill song
Joyner: hey man you want a quick hit of the feels and think about your childhood and stuff
Me:Noooooo!
Idk why this song hurts whenever I listen to it! Dis ish is Soo deep & that chorus just gets me! Love this album so much!!!
this is the best song he has put out
🤤😍❤️🖤 damn he good
Oh my god it’s almost been 2 years since this came out
Facts bro
The chorus reminds me of when my mom used to sing to me to help me sleep 😔
man, this music is so good. Who made this?
Been here since 20k and I will never get sick of this song
Imagine hitting the dislike button here... fucken swines
Swear down. Been listening to this song since the album dropped. Not bored of any of Joyner’s music. He’s a god and deserves way more credit than he’s got. He won’t see this comment but keep going with making your insane music 🙏🏽👍🏽👌🏽
I feel like this song is about music. Like he’s personified music and it’s what he’s talking to.
On the 8th track of the album, the song follows a girl’s perspective as she reflects on her comfort-seeking behavior, and how these relationships evolved as they grew and soured.
Each of the three verses details a relationship in her life – her relationship with her mother, her boyfriend-turned-pimp, and with heroin injections.

This need a video ASAP
Best song on the album?
It's that beat
@Johnny Simmons Jr not only, the writing is super dope , how he connected all 3 stories is just insane to me
so in this song the verses represent people
Seems like it represents one person. 1- Girl who went from being loved by her mom then pushed away, so 2- she turned cold and met a guy who she fell in love with. Then he pimped her out to be a prostitute, so when that went bad 3- she turned to drugs for that love and even that went south. Just my opinion
I'M NOT CRYING! MY EYES ARE JUST SWEATING.
Hands down my favorite song in the album. so underrated
How did 113 people ALL accidentally press the dislike button?
I never met him, nor will I ever. But Joyner Lucas, you actually saved my life, from I'm sorry to this. From losing my family to losing my girlfriend. Your music is keeping me from giving up, and I thank you.
I can tell him because I might see him soon , I'm in his family btw
@devil vibes
You related to Joyner?
@Dark Dante yeah I'm his cousin on my mom's side
@devil vibes

Favorite hook on the album.
This song needs a music video. I love it
Fucking Beautiful
A mothers love...
Joyner you in my top 5 man !!! Please don't stop spitting bars
this man is definitely not with that ignorant street shit...he dont like wack rappers who glorify robbing and murder and he got love for the kids
Here after Eminem.
I'm so glad em featured him to introduce him to the rap game and the people who doesn't know him , man em is rap god keeping Hiphop alive with his music and by bringing real talents to the game , Lucas is definitely in my top 10 I already heard most of his songs by now
when the big twist is revealed in this song, mind=blown!!
One of the best songs I've ever heard in my life.
He obviously killed it
I love this song
You, Joyner Lucas, are truly a genius.
my favorite Joyner song
Why does he always have the voicemails in the end?
Stacey Ohh they might be actual voicemails he received from people who heard the song or saw the album as that is an actual phone number you can call.

This is his most underrated song i think. The vibe to this song is just so good.
[Verse 1]
I wonder if you often think about what you became
Or do you ever wonder if you ever truly changed?
Cause honestly I'm lost and I don't know who to blame
I need some help cause I don't know what else to soothe the pain
I watch you raised me as a baby so over protective
Smiling at me, blowing kisses while you hold me restless
When you told me that you loved me I can tell you meant it
And it never took for you to try to ever show your efforts
But we was connected through the heavens though, I felt your soul
And that alone is just a feeling some will never know

M A G I C
1st verse - A boy (maybe Joyner) is talking to his mom about how she raised him and how it impacted himself now being an adult, and now that shes older he is worried about her health
2nd verse - The mother is now talking to the father about how she first connected with him, but only to see that he fucked up her life and left her in an abusive relationship and on the streets to make money
3rd verse - The mother is now talking to the heroine that she now takes, the heroine helps her escape from her reality but isn't there for her in a positive way
He starts each verse with the same/similar lines about asking who they should blame for their current situations, but then finishes each verse by forgiving the person/thing they are talking to and reminiscing on the good times. I think this comes to a conclusion that the person talking realizes that it is their own responsibility for the actions they take.
This is just my opinion of the song, what do you guys think?
Joyner deserves 60 million suns not a racist whiny guy who says hard Rs
Every joyner song i show this particular mate and he says, whens he gonne rap hes just talking?
....the dumbass too use to mumble rap bs. Smfh
Putting MA on the map 💪
Why does this sound just like Stan?
Criminally low amount of views. Fucking hell....
You're music is making me feel emotions again.
Dear Joyner, I feel like this song is really unrated cause every time I listened to it I love it. It really hits me as well as all you’re other songs. An I mean all. You are a rapper with a story but not no fake shit, you hit real deal problems man an I think your the greatest for it. Thank you.
