Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
There's no point in wondering why people do what they do
It's alright to be confused
But don't lose sight of the truth
Girl, it's him, it's not you
So what if he don't call when he's supposed to
So what if he don't care
You don't need him to be there
So what if when you're mad he says you're crazy
You just make him insecure
No, you didn't lose the girl you used to be
You just let yourself get a little hurt
But so what
So what
So what
It happens to the best of us
So what
So what
So what
It happens to the best of us
And you don't have to be ashamed
For giving everything you got when they don't know what they have
Sometimes jumping ain't so safe
But when the parachute don't open, girl, don't feel so bad
'Cause, so what if he don't call when he's supposed to
So what if he don't care
So what if when you cry he don't hold you
You don't need him to be there
Oh, oh, oh
So what if when you're mad he says you're crazy
You just make him insecure
No, you didn't lose the girl you used to be
You just let yourself get a little hurt
But so what
So what
So what
It happens to the best of us
So what
So what
So what
It happens to the best of us
The song "So What" by Jigmastas Feat. Shadowman Akil Truth E.N.O.LA & Jet Black Ha is a message about moving on from a relationship that didn't work out. The opening line "Everybody plays the fool" suggests that everyone makes mistakes and gets hurt sometimes. It's human nature to wonder why people behave the way they do, but the lyrics suggest that it's not worth dwelling on the reasons behind someone's actions. The chorus reassures the listener that they didn't lose their sense of self or worth, they simply experienced pain, and it's not something to be ashamed of.
The next verse highlights the fact that the person doesn't need their partner in order to feel whole. The lyrics encourage the listener to not be dependent on someone who is not dependable. The line "sometimes jumping ain't so safe, but when the parachute don't open, girl, don't feel so bad" is a metaphor for taking risks in relationships. It's better to take a risk and fail than to never try at all. The song concludes with a repetition of the chorus, emphasizing that it's normal to experience heartbreak and move on from it.
