24kGoldn – Mistakes (Audio, Lyrics)

American rapper, singer, and songwriter, 24kGoldn unveils the new Neek-produced piece of music titled “Mistakes.”

24kgoldn Mistakes

24kGoldn has been on quite the streak recently. The San Francisco rapper has dropped single after single this year, including the BOYCOLD collaboration “SCAR” and “In My Head,” an angsty track fittingly featuring Travis Barker.

Now, 24kGoldn has given us a low-key song sans features. On “Mistakes,” it’s little more than the “Valentino” rapper and a guitar. The guitar, tinny and understated, strums out a simple melody which 24k uses as his hook.

The rapper croons of past blunders and moving on. “I’m pulling the blinds and shutting my eyes / Tryna forget about yesterday,” he declares on the chorus. He insists to a lover that he’s a changed man, albeit a flawed one. There’s not much more 24k has to say on the subject, and the song clocks in at just over two minutes. In the end, the short tune is about being honest with yourself and with loved ones about who you are.

Lyrics

[Chorus]
Let me know, my dear
If I’m makin’ it clear
I done lost my ways
And I’m tired of makin’ mistakes
Uh-huh

[Verse 1]
It was only yesterday, had too much to drink
Hooked up with my homie girl, didn’t know what to think (Think)
Pissed all on the neighbor’s house, threw up in the sink (Sink)
And flaked on everybody I told that we would link (Would link)
Yeah, nine times out of ten, I tend to never do my part
And maybe I’d be better fuckin’ up instead of off
My ex think I’m a narcissist, but she don’t know my heart
So, girl, don’t even start, I’m askin’ you to

[Chorus]
Let me know, my dear
If I’m makin’ it clear
I done lost my ways
And I’m tired of makin’ mistakes
I’m turnin’ the page and walkin’ away
Prayin’ to God I’ll be okay
I’m pullin’ the blinds and shuttin’ my eyes
Tryna forget ’bout yesterday
Uh-huh

[Verse 2]
Sometimes (Sometimes), sometimes (Sometimes)
Sometimes, I act real stuck-up (Stuck-up)
Sometimes, I get real fucked up (Fucked up)
And sometimes, I don’t feel enough (At all)
But this time (This time), this time (This time)
This time, I won’t interrupt (Interrupt)
I show love without expectin’ none (‘Ecting none)
And we’ll see if that fix my luck
Ayy, this for the loners, the fuck-ups and stoners
The faded but focused, processin’ emotions
As pain washes over, we shakin’ ’em boulders
Off all of our shoulders, yeah, yeah, yeah

[Chorus]
Let me know, my dear
If I’m makin’ it clear
I done lost my ways
And I’m tired of makin’ mistakes
I’m turnin’ the page and walkin’ away
Prayin’ to God I’ll be okay
I’m pullin’ the blinds and shuttin’ my eyes
Tryna forget ’bout yesterday
