Problems
Alla- G Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
"And why worry about a spec in your friends eye,
when you have a log in your own?
How could you think of saying to your friend,
'Let me help you get rid of that spec in your eye,
when you can't see past the log in your own eye?"
It's really heavy sometimes when
When people come to me for help
But they don't see everything that I go through
And its hard for me to help them out
When I'm dealing with way too many problems
People come to me with all their problems
Asking me for help
But I struggle to help em' try to solve em'
Cause my mental health
Isn't to the point where I would model
Or put on a shelf cause I got way too
Way too many problems I deal with myself
Am I in a position to help em'
Try to solve their problems?
Trying my best not to give in
I feel like I'm at rock bottom
Feel like I'm at rock bottom
(YEAH YEAH!)
Feel like I'm the worst of em' all (AYE)
Shawty hit my line at 12 AM
She asking, "Can you call?" (AYE)
I'm dealin' with boyfriend problems
And I might breakup with him soon
He doesn't treat me right
And I don't know what to do
Like everyday we fight
And we don't see eye 2 to eye
Gavin you're pretty wise
Can you give me a piece of advice? (LIKE)
People come to me with all their problems
Asking me for help
But I struggle to help em' try to solve em'
Cause my mental health
Isn't to the point where I would model
Or put on a shelf cause I got way too
Way too many problems I deal with myself
Way too
Way too
Way too many problems I deal with myself
If I'm being honest I'm drowning no Michael Phelps
I'm tired of the drama
I'm tired of walking stealth
Feel like Meshach in the fire
Like I'm about to melt (AYE!)
But I got God on my side
"Yo Gavin you look new" (YEAH YEAH!)
The old me is expired
And I'm walking in the truth (YEAH!)
Satan is liar bout to smack him like Babe Ruth (YEAH!)
You know that I go higher GOD my living proof (LIKE)
People come to me with all their problems
Asking me for help
But I struggle to help em' try to solve em'
Cause my mental health
Isn't to the point where I would model
Or put on a shelf cause I got way too
Way too many problems I deal with myself
To the person in the first verse
I was writing about
Once you feel attacked and once you drown with doubt and
Once you feel attached and you reach the full amount
Depression, Stress, Anxiety will all have to bow!
Cause
Jehovah Jireh is provider
And he won't let you drown
Word to Lily Durden yo
He won't let you down
And once you pull the curtain
Let the light shine through your house
Jesus will be right there with you through
Every single drout (LIKE)
The song "Problems" by Alla-G begins with a scripture reference to Matthew 7:3-4, which talks about how we tend to focus on other people's flaws while ignoring our own. Alla-G acknowledges that it can be difficult to help others with their problems when we are dealing with our own challenges. He struggles with managing his own mental health while also trying to provide solutions to other people's issues. The chorus repeats the line "way too many problems I deal with myself," emphasizing how overwhelming it can be to have both personal and other people's problems to address.

Having belief that God is present
