Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
(I can't fear nobody)
That tender lovin' so lovin'
(I can't hear nobody)
That tender lovin' so lovin'
(I can't see nobody)
Oh the rain, rain, the rain
(Can't compete with nobody)
(At nobody)
Can't love in somebody
(Nobody)
They can't love anybody
You really don't understand do you?
Fear nobody, fear nobody
I brought my shotty right up in the party
No bodyguard, just see the squad and me
What's in my pockets, I brought Ben Franklin with me
What's in my house, 7,000 square feet
My bank account, I swear it's no telling
All type of amounts, just so I can spend it
What's all around, fake niggas act friendly
Cause I'm on now, gotta keep it near me
Cause niggas will smile, but really be frienemy
Bitches act down, but really ain't into me
They just want my count, heard I got them milli's
Can't go like that now, I'ma keep it pimpin'
Pistols all around, opp tryna' catch me slippin'
'Member my mama used to whip me
Now I can buy her ass anything
Oh the rain the rain the rain, oh sunshine
Tender lovin' so lovin'
(Body) You really don't understand, do you?
(Nobody, body, nobody)
You really don't understand, do you?
I don't fear no one, war time, I'm gon' give me one
Where I'm from you gotta walk 'round with your gun
But I made it out, just to get some money
(You really don't understand do you?)
Now I'm riding what I want, fuckin' any thot I want
I be buying any thing I want
Remember when I was broke
(You really don't understand do you?)
They thought I was a joke
(You really don't understand do you?)
That money, I'm so in love with you
Til' I die, I'ma sing to you
Cause I love you, I wanna be with you
(You really don't understand do you?)
Not gonna stop, I bet I can't get down to them
That tender lovin', so lovin'
That tender lovin', so lovin'
(You really don't understand do you?)
Oh the rain, rain, the rain, oh sunshine
I can't love in somebody, they can't love anybody
I can't love in somebody, lots of lovin' nobody, nobody
(You really don't understand do you?)
The song "Nobody" by Chief Keef is a celebration of his success and fearlessness despite the challenges he has faced. In the first verse, he boasts about his wealth and power, stating that he doesn't fear anyone and carries a gun for protection. He also acknowledges the fake friends and gold diggers that come with his success, but he remains steadfast in his goals.
The chorus reiterates his message of fearlessness and his inability to love anyone. He believes that none can match his level of success and therefore, they cannot love him for who he is. The constant rain and sunshine mentioned in the chorus symbolize the highs and lows of life, but Keef is unafraid and unstoppable. In the second verse, he reflects on his past struggles and the doubts that others had about him. However, he has overcome those limitations and lives a life of luxury, free from any restraints.
The overall message of the song is one of self-confidence and self-love. Keef believes in himself and his abilities, and he is unafraid to pursue his dreams. He acknowledges the challenges that come with success and the fake friends that try to use him, but he remains focused on his goals and his own happiness.
