Gesaffelstein and The Weeknd not too long ago unleashed their collab collectively, which stirred up some preliminary pleasure. Now, it’s making headlines for all of the flawed causes.
The Weeknd’s lyrics have at all times been sexualized and graphic, however he could have taken this one too far. The singer is being known as out for some controversial lyrics, as heard in “Lost In The Fire.” Particularly, there’s one verse inflicting debate for apparent causes.
Basic synopsis: The Weeknd pursues a lady who's into women, dismisses her lesbianism, and proposes a 3 method so he can fuck her “straight.” Yikes.
Verse 2]
I’m drained being residence alone (Home alone)
I used to have a lady a day (Girl a day)
Yeah, I need you to remain (I need you to remain, hey)
You stated you may be into women (Into women)
You stated you’re going by means of a section (Through a section)
Keepin’ your coronary heart protected (Keepin’ your coronary heart protected, oh)
Well, child, you possibly can carry a buddy (Bring a buddy)
She can journey on prime your face (Top your face)
While I fuck you straight (While I fuck you straight, yeah)
I’m responsible listening to the music, even breezing by means of the lyrics, and never realizing that some the message may very well be hurtful and fensive. Honestly, we wrote it f as a “Starboy 2.zero” and had already moved on, however that is actually a dialog that must be had.
Read some the dialogue happening Twitter under.
