A Boogie Wit da Hoodie Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
If I was invited
She said she wanna be mine
She wasn't with it to ride
I had to kick her aside
I know it just ain't right
But baby you was invited
She know I be on my grind
So I don't really have time
To hit you back on time
I would've been in your life
But I just wasn't invited
I think that I would've liked it
I was excited, I thought you was mine
You were really wastin' my time
But damn I can't lie
She ride the pipe like she bike it
You was the rock to my diamond
The way we could've been shining
We would've been fine
But girl you had to decide
I thought that you was my type
I wish that I could rewind it
But I guess I'll never mind it
Tell me what you want
Tell me why you frontin'?
Is this really what you wanted?
Keep it a hunnit
Every time you started fussin'
I changed the subject
Every time you hear this song is gon' get you upset
You gon' hear it in they headphones on the buses
If I see you up in public straight stuntin'
Cop another pair of Mains then I go to London
Would've put you on a plane in some Red Bottoms
She said she wanna be mine
She wasn't with it to ride
I had to kick her aside
I know it just ain't right
But baby you was invited
I promised you would've liked it
She know I be on my grind
So I don't really have time
To hit you back on time
I would've been in your life
But I just wasn't invited
I think that I would've liked it
You was a slide
I don't think I can look at you in ya eyes
You cheated on me and lied
And I think you liked it
You're so damn trifling
You was a thot and I wifed it
There's no one like this
Look at my ice you could've been right beside it
I'm still thug lifin' with no gun license
You my lil' light skin
Cause I know she gon' hide it
You pro'lly think I'm bluffin'
I ain't frontin' I turn nothing into something
Now I'm stuntin it's just us I won't switch up yeah
I love my Bousins others talk behind my back
So I can't trust them
Oh I think I started something now they upset
Everybody I came up with I'm still stuck with
Every girl that I was with I had no luck with
Now all I ever wanna do is boss shit
She said she wanna be mine
She wasn't with it to ride
I had to kick her aside
I know it just ain't right
But baby you was invited
I promised you would've liked it
She know I be on my grind
So I don't really have time
To hit you back on time
I would've been in your life
But I just wasn't invited
I think that I would've liked it
Why you think my name is Artist? I'm an Artist
The song "Artist" by A Boogie wit da Hoodie presents a mixed vibe of regret and domination in its lyrics. The first verse is mainly about a girl he promised to take out but failed to as he wasn't invited. Meanwhile, the second verse is about an ex-girlfriend who cheated on him but now realizes that he is better off without her. However, it is evident that he still believes he would have liked to be with them if given a chance.
The song seems to reflect on how difficult it is to maintain relationships while trying to make it as an artist in the music industry. While being on his grind, A Boogie finds it difficult to make time for other important things in his life, such as his relationships. He promises things he can't deliver and regrets not being able to act on his desires. The lyrics also reflect on how people can be two-faced, wanting to be with someone but not willing to put in the work to maintain the relationship.
Overall, "Artist" delivers a mixed message of regret and self-empowerment. While A Boogie regrets not being able to be with the women he desires, he also acknowledges his status as an artist, something that drives his life and is willing to let go of things that hold him back.

Oh I think I started something now they upset
Oh, I think I've caused something and now they're upset
Everybody I came up with I'm still stuck with
Everyone who was there for me since the beginning, I'm still with
Every girl that I was with I had no love with
I didn't have love for all the girls I've dated
Now all I ever wanna do is boss shit
Now, all I want to do is be successful and be in charge
