I'll Go
J. A. Smith Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

If you leave me, I'll go crazy
If you leave me, I'll go crazy
'Cause I love you, love you
Oh, I love you too much

If you quit me, I'll go crazy
If you forget me, I'll go crazy
'Cause I love you, love you
Oh, I love you too much

You've got to live for yourself
Yourself and nobody else
You've got to live for yourself
Yourself and nobody else

Overall Meaning

In J. A. Smith's song "I'll go", the artist sings about the overwhelming feeling of love for someone else that can cause one to lose their mind if the person they love were to leave or forget about them. The repeated lines "If you leave me, I'll go crazy" emphasize the point that the singer's existence is heavily reliant on the other person's presence in their life. The line "You've got to live for yourself, yourself and nobody else" seems to break away from the love theme, and instead takes a stance of self-reliance and self-love. Perhaps this line serves as a reminder that one cannot depend entirely on another person for their well-being, but must also prioritize themselves.


The chorus is framed around a simple but powerful sentiment that many can relate to - the feeling that loving someone too much can be overwhelming and even detrimental. The lyrics may resonate with listeners who have experienced the feeling of being so in love with someone that their sense of self becomes intertwined with the other person's. The song's structure is very repetitive, which further emphasizes the message of the chorus.

My love for you is too intense and consuming for me to handle a life without you.

LYRICS:
So go ahead and fix your crown
Then watch it all burn in smoke, oh-oh
Go ahead and stand your ground
We're on the long road to freedom, no, no

Too much time tryna figure out why
Too much time to be patient
All this time you be feeding us lies
Ain't no truths in your statements
Too much pain in these little white lies, you left here
All this time tryna figure out how, we're still here

I take pride in the things that we've done
Side by side in the revolution
Won't stay silent for things that I love
'Cause we know them nuh care about us
White men can't jump but at least they can run
Broke these chains just to put our hands up
They can never see the kingdom coming
You wanna see us all amount to nothing, no

I can see your face, see the light in your eyes
I can see the change, feel the heat of the fire
If you can feel the pain, then you know you're alive
Both feet on the line

By any means I will fight (For you, for you), oh, no
By any means I will fight (For you, for you)
By any means I will fight (For you, for you)
By any means I will fight (For you, for you)

I've spent too many days in my head now
Did you think we would forget, how?
Too many destinies, too many sentences, read now
Read now, see all this pain in the headlines
But I have cried for the last time
But know what happens
See you would be blind if it was just an eye for an eye

And what if we changed the world?
We rise from the flames the victor
It's far from a perfect picture
I know we're sinful but we are human
Would you be grateful if you took my place?
Say my name (Say my name)
There is redemption in the steps we take

Say, one life and I'm gonna use it (Oh)
Innocent 'til I am proven (Oh, no)
One last chance and you blew it (Oh)
One last dance in the ruins (Oh)
So much hate in your movements (Oh, no)
Told me I couldn't prove it (No)
One last prayer for the sinners (Ooh)
You only learn what you witnessed (Ooh, ooh-ooh)

I can see your face, see the light in your eyes
I can see the change, feel the heat of the fire
If you can feel the pain, then you know you're alive
Both feet on the line

By any means I will fight (For you, for you), oh, no
By any means I will fight (For you, for you), no-oh
By any means I will fight (For you, for you)
Any means I will fight (For you, for you)
I've spent too many days in my head now
Did you think we would forget, how?
Too many destinies, too many sentences, read now
Read now, see all this pain in the headlines
But I have cried for the last time
But know what happens
See you would be blind if it was just an eye for an eye

she doesn’t do it for the likes, exposure, awards and fame. she does it for humanity and life. there’s a difference and it shows

Daniela Baker

Simon HK I mean he came to her. And honestly when it’s your job and you have a shot to get bigger who wouldn’t? She didn’t compromise who she was or her style for it tho so your comment is just one of those “ I cannot be happy for her and simply agree so I’m gonna go ahead and find something to complain about “

Soso Sanchez

Absolute Facts !

Vineeta’s Journey

Lol that’s why she’s always pouting in her videos

BIRDEE 王煒

leo Beems oh no i meant it in the nicest way possible. i absolutely love her and what i meant by that was that she makes and does music for the love of it. i mean yeah she would’ve also wanted to do it to get exposure and success but i’m talking in regards to her as an artist overall. she creates and makes music for the love of it and not to sound like someone else to be big and successful

Daniela Baker

Birdee Official oh no worries beautiful I actually liked your comment ! I was actually answering to another now deleted comment that was saying that Jorja was overrated or something like that and that she “ used Drake “ to get more fame in opposition to what you said. I was actually defending your POV and Jorja’s humility ✨🦋 no worries I love people and comment who/ that spreads light and support
