Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

(Wait a minute, who are you? Ayy, yo, K.i.D)

And I know that I'm the best out
Make a bitch burn my house down like she Left Eye, yeah
On my TLC, a lot of freaks
But ain't never met a freak like my freak from the west side, yeah
And I know she love me
She don't wanna see me leave, don't wanna see me be the best I can (ooh, ooh)
She don't wanna really see how fresh I am (ooh)
She don't wanna really see me flex my bands (go)
And I know that I'm the best out
Make a bitch burn my house down like she Left Eye, yeah (yeah, yeah, yeah)
On my TLC, a lot of freaks
But ain't never met a freak like my freak from the west side, yeah (freak)
And I know she love me
But don't wanna see me leave, don't wanna see me be the best I can (I know she love me)
She don't wanna really see how fresh I am (I know she love me)
She don't wanna really see me flex my bands (go)

And she don't wanna really see me flex
She know I'm next, so she don't wanna really see who next
I'm knowin' that she miss me, way I used to kiss her
Way I used to hug her, way I used to hit her
Not physically, but physically (okay)
They don't know me, why the fuck you let 'em mention me? (Huh?)
I know they hatin', they need company for misery (what?)
You let 'em get to you, but I won't let 'em get to me
I'm talkin' ever
I know you probably let him fuck, I fuck you better
I know you miss a nigga face on your FaceTime
Never stay the same, I always turn it up a level
You wanna dig a deeper hole? Well, go and shovel
You gotta let 'em dig it, is you diggin' it?
I had to separate, a nigga wasn't feelin' it (nah)
Remember you was down when you was into me
But you no longer in it, now you fuckin' up my energy (ow)
These bitches down for a date with me, but I don't really like to date
So all these cornball niggas can't relate to me, and I ain't even tryna hate
And I'm the type to let you eat up off the plate with me, but you won't even share the plate
And if I ever ever went out on a date with you, I'd probably still'll show up late

And I know that I'm the best out
Make a bitch burn my house down like she Left Eye, yeah
On my TLC, a lot of freaks (TLC)
But ain't never met a freak like my freak from the west side, yeah
And I know she love me
She don't wanna see me leave, don't wanna see me be the best I can (ooh, ooh)
She don't wanna really see how fresh I am (ooh)
She don't wanna really see me flex my bands (go)
And I know that I'm the best out
Make a bitch burn my house down like she Left Eye, yeah (yeah, yeah, yeah)
On my TLC, a lot of freaks
But ain't never met a freak like my freak from the west side, yeah (freak)
And I know she love me
But don't wanna see me leave, don't wanna see me be the best I can (I know she love me)
She don't wanna really see how fresh I am
She don't wanna really see me flex my bands

Yeah, she really wanna see young Gunna flex his bands
Know a nigga fresh, got a cross on my pants (cross)
Took a loss, still doin' the best that I can (best that I can)
I'm a boss, I can do whatever you can't
I'ma fuck her hard in a bulletproof van (bulletproof van)
Money extra large, stretch from here to Japan
She know I ain't a fraud, do you dig what I'm sayin'? (Dig what I'm sayin')
I know you want me to be your man (be your man)
A bad lil' vibe, you cool as a fan (cool as a fan)
I knock the pussy out like she took a Xan'
You know I'm livin' wild, still gave me a chance (gave me a chance)
I heard you fucked the dawg, I can't give a damn
Like DaBaby, I'm a player, I can't date her, man (can't date, man)
I'm flyin' past your crib, you can see when I land
I'm known to break a bitch, I'll never ever bend

And I know that I'm the best out
Make a bitch burn my house down like she Left Eye, yeah
On my TLC, a lot of freaks (TLC)
But ain't never met a freak like my freak from the west side, yeah
And I know she love me
She don't wanna see me leave, don't wanna see me be the best I can (ooh, ooh)
She don't wanna really see how fresh I am (ooh)
She don't wanna really see me flex my bands (go)
And I know that I'm the best out
Make a bitch burn my house down like she Left Eye, yeah (yeah, yeah, yeah)
On my TLC, a lot of freaks
But ain't never met a freak like my freak from the west side, yeah (freak)
And I know she love me
But don't wanna see me leave, don't wanna see me be the best I can (I know she love me)




She don't wanna really see how fresh I am
She don't wanna really see me flex my bands

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to the song "TLC" by DaBaby feat. Gunna are a mixture of braggadocious lines and lyrics about a romantic relationship. The first verse gives an homage to TLC, the iconic girl group from the ‘90s, with the reference of the line from their song “Waterfalls” where Left Eye burned down her boyfriend’s house. DaBaby raps about being the best rapper out and claims that he can make a woman so jealous that she’ll do the same. In the next couple of lines, he raps about the various women he is involved with but emphasizes that his main woman is from the west side and that she is a "freak" like none other.


In the second verse, Gunna raps about his romantic life, confirming that his lady wants him to be her man, but he makes it clear he is not interested in being in a relationship. He flexes his wealth and status, mentioning his bulletproof van, his large amounts of money, and his cross-covered pants. Gunna's verse talks mainly about casual sex, unlike DaBaby's verse, where he talks about an emotional connection with his woman. The chorus repeats after the verses, intertwining bragging lines with mention of TLC and emphasizing the women in both artist's lives.


Overall, "TLC" is a combination of both bouncy braggadocious rap and romantic relationships, creating a catchy tune.
