It Ain't Me
Bars and Melody Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

It ain't about a girl
It ain't about a girl
It ain't about a girl, I woke up like this
Sometimes I feel this way
I use my break ups to write my songs
Believe me you wanna be my second song
Still fighting bottles that ain't mine
Still cant find happiness what do I deserve
With my eyes closing whenever am breaking down
Imagination world
Still creating my destiny
Mad cze I didn't choose you you ain't forcing me
Lying in my bed with a lot of questioning
Does my plans work, isn't that my way
For how long are we gonna be right here
My kid needs a father that go be there for them
Knocked my head to the wall now it's headache
Few specials left but we still killing them
Every touch of you hands irritating my skin
My house is painted with a color I don't even know
My mind keep asking what the f** do I even know
It ain't about a girl
It ain't about a girl
It ain't about a girl, I woke up like this
Sometimes I feel this way
no, It ain't about a girl
It ain't about a girl
It ain't about a girl, I woke up like this
Sometimes I feel this way
They don't make vows wanapendaga kuchocha
Kudungi haramu ama umekua poacher
Pocha nyagu na life kanasonga ka drip tu kidogo ati nmewateka
They be doing great but they won't get paid
Na ukisha washow ma n*** hujawafail
Justice kwa casket kwa korti kesi akuna
Mama mboga na basket machozi ndo inatokaa
I be moving motivated precious life truth naked
Holy sh** now rekles I bought ninety five bracelets
Running over some senkes I'm a G with flow not less
Over money no no fame
Got smoked on my fifteens and my grandpa was sixtys
This bag is soo lit and music is so
I'll write till they mourn me
It's gona be a story
Never say no sorry
She be calling when horny get higher morning glory
It ain't about a girl
It ain't about a girl
It ain't about a girl, I woke up like this
Sometimes I feel this way
No, It ain't about a girl
It ain't about a girl




It ain't about a girl, I woke up like this
Sometimes I feel this way

Overall Meaning

"It Ain't Me" by Bars and Melody is a song that delves into the complexities of the artist's life, grappling with the burdens of fame and success, as well as questioning his own path and purpose. The repeated refrain "It ain't about a girl" is a declaration that the song is about something deeper than the typical love or breakup song. The song opens with a declaration that the artist is not defined by a romantic partner, and goes on to express the songwriting process as a form of catharsis: "Sometimes I feel this way/I use my break ups to write my songs."


The verses continue this introspective line, grappling with feelings of confusion and lack of direction: "For how long are we gonna be right here/My kid needs a father that go be there for them/Knocked my head to the wall now it's headache/Few specials left but we still killing them." The artist also touches on the theme of materialism, with references to buying bracelets and a "lit" bag, and the tension between making music for personal fulfillment versus money and fame: "Over money no no fame/I'll write till they mourn me/It's gona be a story."


Overall, "It Ain't Me" is a thoughtful and introspective song that reflects on the complexities and challenges of the artist's life, while rejecting the simplistic narrative of love and romance as the defining factors of his existence.

Lyrisc:

I had a dream
We were sipping whiskey neat
Highest floor, The Bowery
Nowhere's high enough
Somewhere along the lines
We stopped seeing eye to eye
You were staying out all night
And I had enough

No, I don't wanna know
Where you been or where you're goin'
But I know I won't be home
And you'll be on your own

Who's gonna walk you
Through the dark side of the morning?
Who's gonna rock you
When the sun won't let you sleep?
Who's waking up to drive you home
When you're drunk and all alone?
Who's gonna walk you
Through the dark side of the morning?

It ain't me
It ain't me
It ain't me
It ain't me

The world around is crumbling
And the girl I love is mumbling
My name into the night.
I can hear a voice it's strumbling
From vowel consonant and vowel and so far forward
Until her lungs are empty and our hope is quarerted.
Our days are limited but every moment that we share
Is an eternity of happiness that wimbles through your hair.
The memories of hard times the memories of good
I forgotten in the moment I feel so misunderstood
Everybody watching thats is why I wear a hood
The storm it will be over soon so I can take it down.
I see you in my future I see you in my future.
If I keep saying this then maybe it will happen sooner.
The storm makes me colder and the world makes me older.
Every single day I'm walking closer to a closure.
Whether it be you or the voices im my head
Or the unforgiving feeling that one day I'll be dead

Who's gonna walk you
Through the dark side of the morning?
Who's gonna rock you
When the sun won't let you sleep?
Who's waking up to drive you home
When you're drunk and all alone?
Who's gonna walk you
Through the dark side of the morning?

It ain't me
It ain't me
It ain't me

Who's gonna walk you
Through the dark side of the morning?

It ain't me
It ain't me
It ain't me
It ain't me
It ain't me
It ain't me
