Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Like a chameleon changing
Every day it's something different
If shapeshifting was a thing
You'd win the gold here
I'd say you really got the best of me yeah
It's nothing like I ever did before no no
Started like a drop in the ocean
Every morning
Every night
I be reading through your phone
Like an actor getting cast for a show
Oh yea yea yea
Oh yea yea yea
Every morning
Every night
I be reading through your phone
Like an actor getting cast for a show
Oh no no no
Oh no no no
Where is the love
Where is the love
Where is the love
Where is the love

Based on the lyrics of J. JBlack’s “Issues,” the song is about a problematic relationship that the singer is struggling to maintain. The opening lyrics suggest that the person he’s in a relationship with is very unpredictable, “like a chameleon changing.” They are constantly shifting and changing, making it difficult for the singer to keep up with them. He feels like he’s being used by this person and that they have taken advantage of him. The singer also seems to be a jealous person, as he admits to reading through the other person’s phone every morning and night to the point that he feels like he’s “an actor getting cast for a show.” He’s searching for something, possibly evidence of infidelity, which seems to be a common theme throughout the song.
Despite this, the singer remains conflicted. He questions himself, “It’s nothing like I ever did before, no no.” This relationship is something new to him, and he’s not quite sure how to handle it. He also seems to still have feelings for this person, as he asks, “Where is the love? Where is the love?” Despite the fact that they have issues and the relationship is difficult, he still wants to know if this person cares about him.
Overall, “Issues” seems to be a song about a relationship that is full of drama and difficulties. The singer is questioning whether it’s worth it to continue with this person, but also having a hard time letting go.
