Baby Keem Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Don't tell nobody that you was abandoned
I'm the only one that know about your tragedy
I can't feel sorry when you lost, random
I can't feel sorry, you're a lost ransom
Drown yourself in expensive fabrics
I think you picked up a lot of bad habits
Just appreciate yourself
Won't you think about you and I?
Just grab my hand and look me in the eye
Look this ain't something you should decide
This ain't something that you should decide
Won't you think about you and I?
Just grab my hand and look me in the eye
Look this ain't something you should decide
This ain't something that you should decide
Born into status, tell nobody that you never had it
Don't tell nobody that you was abandoned
I'm the only one that know about your tragedy
I can't feel sorry 'cause you're trust random
I can't feel sorry, you're a lost ransom
Drown yourself in expensive fabrics
I think you picked up a lot of bad habits
Just appreciate yourself
Won't you think about you and I?
Just grab my hand and look me in the eye
Look this ain't something you should decide
This ain't something that you should decide
Won't you think about you and I?
Just grab my hand and look me in the eye
Look this ain't something you should decide
This ain't something that you should decide
My mama mad at me, I know I fucked up big
My girl mad at me, I know I fucked up big
What's love? I guess I'll never understand
Every time I say sorry, I do that shit again
Check, check, check, I made a promise
That I would never leave you stressed, I would be honest
I should have never sent that text, I will be honest
I'm sorry for the things I said, I will be honest
Won't you think about you and I?
Just grab my hand and look me in the eye
Look this ain't something you should decide
This ain't something that you should decide
Won't you think about you and I?
Just grab my hand and look me in the eye
Look this ain't something you should decide
This ain't something that you should decide
In "16," Baby Keem sings about a toxic relationship that he seems to be unwilling to let go of. The first verse mentions how his partner comes from a privileged background but has a tragic past that she's kept hidden. He's the only one who knows about it and although he can't feel sorry for her losses as they were random, he still has some sort of empathy for her. He then talks about how his partner drowns herself in expensive clothes and that he thinks she's picked up a lot of bad habits.
The chorus repeats twice and has Baby Keem asking his partner to think about them as a unit and to take a moment to consider what's best for both of them. The repetition of this plea leaves the listener to believe that his partner may be considering ending the relationship.
In the second verse, Baby Keem admits to messing things up with both his mother and girlfriend. He admits he doesn't understand love and continually repeats that he'll be honest with his girlfriend in order to make amends. The line "I'm sorry for the things I said, I will be honest" shows Baby Keem trying to rectify his mistakes by being truthful even though it may be too late.
The song's lyrics suggest that the relationship is toxic with both parties seemingly unhappy but also unable to let go. Baby Keem's honesty seems to be a last-ditch effort to keep the relationship alive. The song delves into the complexities of relationships and how difficult breaking up can be even if both parties are unhappy.
