The Lyrics

Seeing Elijah’s indifference toward the situation will initiate his ex to make amends. 

He vocalizes,

“Tell that n*gga that you cheated with that/That n*gga ain’t me/(What)/That n*gga ain’t me/And you know he’ll never be/You going have to hear my name every time you outside in the streets/You going have to hear them stories bout them b*tches I hit all week.”

“Over You” Inspiration

About the song’s inspiration, Elijah the Boy says:

“I had recently got out of a relationship and found out the girl I was with cheated on me. I was in the club one night, drinking and feeling dark, and it dawned on me. If I’m going to speak about everything, it has to be a song that’s undeniable, and that will get played everywhere.”
