(I'd rather keep it real with ya)

Real hot girl shit, ah
It ain't always about what you like
Sometimes it's about what's right
(Helluva made this beat baby) huh

I'd rather be a B-I-T-C-H (I'd rather keep it real with ya)
'Cause that's what you gon' call me when I'm trippin' anyway
You know you can't control me baby
You need a real one in your life
Them bitches ain't gon' give it to you right

I'd rather be a B-I-T-C-H (I'd rather keep it real with ya)
'Cause that's what you gon' call me when I'm trippin' anyway
You know you can't control me baby
You need a real one in your life
Them bitches ain't gon' give it to you right (ay)

Why you wanna play with me? You know I'm undefeated
A real hot girl know how to keep a nigga heated
You say you want respect? Well treat me how you wanna be treated
You told me to keep it real but you don't practice what you preachin'
You want me to blow your phone up and come looking for you 'til I find ya
You really want me to whoop the hoe that you fuckin' with if I find her
Bitch you ain't that busy, I don't give a fuck what you ain't got time for
You look me in my eyes and know you lyin', man that's fraud, bruh
Man you knew I was a player 'fore you met me, need to relax
You know that you gon' hate me if I get to playin' get-back
I ain't turn into no bad bitch when you met me, boy I been that
You tryna make me something that I ain't, and I ain't with that

I'd rather be a B-I-T-C-H (I'd rather keep it real with ya)
'Cause that's what you gon' call me when I'm trippin' anyway
You know you can't control me baby
You need a real one in your life
Them bitches ain't gon' give it to you right

I'd rather be a B-I-T-C-H (I'd rather keep it real with ya)
'Cause that's what you gon' call me when I'm trippin' anyway
You know you can't control me baby
You need a real one in your life
Them bitches ain't gon' give it to you right (ay, ay, huh)

I got my mind on gettin' paid, we ain't spoke in some days
He prolly thinkin' I'm in pain, but I'm really on game
Ain't no nigga finna stop me, independent, I got me
All the shit that I be needin', can't depend on a "prolly"
And that's fucked up 'cause you know that I don't fuck with nobody
I be quiet, but you out here tellin' stories one-sided
I ain't perfect, and I try to fix the shit that ain't working
But it's 2020, I ain't finna argue 'bout twerking
Since you wanna test the waters, might as well jump in with both feet
If you leave me, and you see me, better act like you don't know me
If you thinking shit get better with another bitch, go get her
When you realize she ain't got you like I got you, I can't help you

I'd rather be a B-I-T-C-H (I'd rather keep it real with ya)
'Cause that's what you gon' call me when I'm trippin' anyway
You know you can't control me baby
You need a real one in your life
Them bitches ain't gon' give it to you right

I'd rather be a B-I-T-C-H (I'd rather keep it real with ya)
'Cause that's what you gon' call me when I'm trippin' anyway
You know you can't control me baby
You need a real one in your life
Them bitches ain't gon' give it to you right (yuh)

I'd rather be a B-I-T-C-H (I'd rather keep it real with ya)
'Cause that's what you gon' call me when I'm trippin' anyway
You know you can't control me baby
You need a real one in your life
Them bitches ain't gon' give it to you right

I'd rather be a B-I-T-C-H (I'd rather keep it real with ya)
Ohh, ohh




(I'd rather keep it real with ya)
Ohh, ohh

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "1 in 4" by BTS & Megan Thee Stallion delve into themes of empowerment, self-awareness, and standing up for oneself in a relationship. The song starts with the declaration, "I’d rather keep it real with ya," setting the tone for honesty and authenticity. Megan Thee Stallion asserts her independence and strength as a "real hot girl," emphasizing that sometimes it's not about what you like but what's right.


The chorus of the song repeats the phrase, "I'd rather be a B-I-T-C-H," reclaiming and owning the term typically used as an insult. Megan acknowledges that she'll be called that when she asserts herself or stands her ground, embracing her assertiveness and refusal to be controlled. She challenges the idea that others can dictate her behavior or manipulate her, highlighting the importance of having a genuine, honest individual in one's life.


The second verse explores the dynamics of a turbulent relationship where one party is seeking respect and reciprocity. Megan confronts the hypocrisy of being asked to be real while the other person fails to do the same. She refuses to conform to someone else's expectations or change herself to fit their ideals, asserting her identity and autonomy. The lyrics reflect an unapologetic attitude towards staying true to oneself and not succumbing to pressure to become someone they are not.


In the final verse, Megan emphasizes her focus on personal growth, independence, and financial stability. She asserts her self-reliance and determination to succeed without relying on anyone else. The lyrics also touch on the one-sided nature of communication in the relationship and the realization that true connection and support cannot be easily replaced. Ultimately, the song conveys a message of self-worth, resilience, and the importance of staying authentic in the face of challenges.
