Never Enough
Baby Strange Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
she used me for my money used my for my style
she never thought i would be a big deal
laughed in my face when i said this was real
(moving) moving on up
(moving) moving on up
tryna get by but there's never enough
tryna get by but there's never enough
said you move so fast but i've never seen you smile
i can see by the look in your eye
so get off my seat if you don't wanna ride
they're trying to get to me
all that i know
is that i'm never going home
tryna get to me
all that i know
is that i'm never going home
(moving) movin on up
(moving) movin on up
tryna get by but it's never enough
tryna get by but it's never enough
The lyrics to Baby Strange's "Never Enough" tells a story of a person who was used by their lover for their money and style. The person seems to have been naive and did not realize they were being used until it was too late. The lyrics, "she never thought I would be a big deal, laughed in my face when I said this was real" imply that the lover did not take the person seriously and may have even mocked them. The person expresses regret in the opening lines of the song, saying they would have run if they had known what they were getting into.
The chorus of the song, "tryna get by but there's never enough" suggests that the person is struggling to make ends meet and feels like they do not have enough to get by. The lyrics, "they're trying to get to me, all that I know, is that I'm never going home" give a sense of paranoia and fear, indicating that the person may feel like they are being targeted or followed. The lyrics, "so get off my seat if you don't wanna ride" suggest that the person is fed up with people trying to take advantage of them and is telling them to leave.
Overall, the lyrics suggest a person who is struggling to find their place in the world and is dealing with the consequences of being too trusting. The song speaks to the experience of many young people who are trying to make a life for themselves in a harsh and unforgiving world.
