Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I ain't sayin' I'm the best
I'm sayin' I got a lot to work with
Fuck talkin' we capped enough
I ain't tryna make it look like I just wanna fuck
I'm just tryna show this ain't no temporary love
I think you need to let me learn ya somethin'
How you gon' get better with a nigga who don't even measure up
You've been fuckin' regulars
I think ya need to let me learn ya somethin', yeah
No need to tell you not to sleep
I let my hands speak
Now learn a couple things about me
Girl, when you go don't try to act like your last one hit it the same way
Girl, when you go don't try to act like your last one did ya the same way
Your last one did ya the same way
Your last one hit it the same way, girl
We still got a lot to do
If you need a quick fix for your day
I be on the way
Got a couple thin's that I gots to prove
You lack and it hurts to know
I tell you cause I'm really tryin' to help ya
But you take it personal
I think I really need to learn you somethin'
Yeah, I met you in the past life
I know everything
Oh you're that type
Bad bad girl
Won't you act right
I think I really need to learn you somethin'
Don't gotta ask
I can see
I let my hands speak
Just learn a couple thin's about me
Girl, when you go don't try to act like your last one hit it the same way
Girl, when you go don't try to act like your last one did ya the same way
Your last one did ya the same way
Your last one hit it the same way
Girl
In "Learn Ya" by 6LACK, the singer communicates to his love interest that there is still much for her to discover about herself and about him. He acknowledges that he is not claiming to be perfect, but rather that he has much to offer and much to work on in their relationship. The phrase "let me learn ya something" is repeated throughout the song, indicating his desire to help her and to learn from her as well.
There is also a sense of dissatisfaction with her past relationships and sexual encounters, as he warns her to not compare him to her previous partners who did not measure up. He urges her to be open-minded and to learn a few things about him, both through words and his physical expression. The repetition of her last partner "hitting it the same way" emphasizes his desire to be different and to offer her a unique and fulfilling experience.
Overall, "Learn Ya" is a love song that emphasizes growth and self-improvement within a relationship. It is not only about the singer teaching his partner, but also learning from her and evolving together.
