Intro]
It just don't get better
It don't get better
It just don't get no better

It don't get no better
It don't get no
It don't get no better
It just don't get no better

I hate my bed, I hate my home, I hate my job
I hate the wife, I hate the kids, I hate the dog
I hate the sun, I hate the rain, I hate the clouds
I hate the TV, hate the dinner, hate the couch
I hate the car, I hate the bus, I hate the road
I hate the bar, I hate to drink, I hate to smoke
I hate a stranger, hate his boss, I hate his friend
I hate the womb, I needed room, I ate my twin
I hate my hands, handshakes, pancakes, milkshakes,
showers and some locks on the pill case
I hate inflation, hate the store, I hate to choose
I hate the war, I hate the poor, I hate the news
I hate the late, I can't be early, hate to wait
I hate my lovers cause' the way they suffocate
I fuck to hurt, it hurt to date, I hate to date
I fuck to hate, I hate to love, I hate to hate

And it just don't
And it just don't
And it just don't

It don't get no better
It don't get no
It don't get no better
It just don't get no better

I hate to lose, I hate to try, I hate to win
I hate to cruise, I hate to fly, I hate to swim
I hate the optimistic smirks on the face of children
I hate the government and those who deface its buildings
I hate artists, hate creatives, I hate bright people
I hate darkness, I hate racist, I hate white people
I hate small speakers, I hate loud speakers
I hate great concerts, I don't like crowds neither
I hate money, I hate change, I hate hope
I hate funny, I hate strange, I hate dope
I hate charities and parodies and tragedies
I hate carrots, peas, asparagus
Virtually all vegetables, circuses, all festivals,
texts that are oversexual, emotion because it's perpetual
I hate schedules, calendars, reminders
'Cause they just remind us that tomorrow gon' be just as timeless
I fuckin' hate you

And it just don't
And it just don't
And it just don't

It don't get no better
It don't get no




It don't get no better
It just don't get no better

Overall Meaning

The song "No Better Blues" by Chance The Rapper and The Social Experiment is a commentary on the negativity that surrounds us every day. The lyrics express a sense of hopelessness, with the singer hating everything from his bed to his job, his family to his friends, and even himself. The chorus, "It don't get no better," repeated throughout the song, drives home the point that life is hard and doesn't always offer a silver lining. The verses continue to list a litany of things that the singer hates, including vegetables, festivals, and emotions.


The song can be interpreted as a critique of modern society, which often places too much emphasis on material possessions and external accomplishments. Rather than finding joy in life's simpler pleasures, the singer is consumed by his own negativity and unable to see anything positive in the world. The song is a reminder that sometimes life can be difficult, but it is up to us to find beauty in the midst of hardship.

@CXDR858

@@dre1201 he 'hates to love, and loves to hate for example" would be an example of an oxymoron used in the song. basically contradiction.
