Joji - Nectar Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm a, I'm a, I'm a, I'm a (one, two, three, four)
I'm a pretty boy livin' on the West side
Livin' so loud, you could never hear me cry, nah
See no tears run down my eyes (my eyes)
Oh, these hills, they burn so bright (burn so bright)
Oh, these hills, they bring me life (bring me life)
Oh, these hills, baby, oh, these hills, baby, mm (I'm a, I'm a, I'm a, I'm a, I'm a)
I'm a pretty boy livin' on the West side
Poppin' blue pills and sippin' on finest, nah
No more fears and no more lies
I tell myself to sleep at night (sleep at night)
Amongst these hills, baby (oh, these hills, baby)
Amongst these hills, baby (I'm a, I'm a, I'm a, I'm a, I'm a, I'm a)
Hey, hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey (bitch), hey, hey (suck my nuts)
Hey, hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey
Handsome young man, never pull up on time
Lookin' in the mirror, lookin' good should be a crime, crime
All this pain I'll never let show
My real thoughts, you'll never know
Never know (no, no), never know, no (no, no)
Handsome young man, never worried 'bout time
Flexin' on the 'net, it's the same offline, aye
If I don't lead, where will they go?
They follow my every move
Every move (every move)
Every move, every move (every move)
I'm a, I'm a
I'm a, I'm a, I'm a, I'm a (goddamnit, nice shot)
I'm a pretty boy livin' on the West side
Livin' so loud, you could never hear me cry, nah
See no tears run down my eyes (my eyes)
Oh, these hills, they burn so bright (burn so bright)
Oh, these hills, they bring me life (bring me life)
Oh, these hills, baby, oh, these hills, baby, mm (I'm a, I'm a, I'm a, I'm a, I'm a)
In Joji's song "Pretty Boy," featuring Lil Yachty, the lyrics speak of a "pretty boy" living on the West side who is unafraid to show off their confident, flashy lifestyle. Despite any pain they may feel, they choose to hide it and present themselves as always put together. The "hills" mentioned in the chorus refer to their surroundings, possibly the hills of Los Angeles where Joji resides. The lyrics also touch on the idea of leadership and how others follow the "pretty boy's" every move.
The first verse introduces the idea of a "pretty boy" living on the West side, someone who is confident and lives loudly. The hills referenced in the chorus burn bright and bring them life, suggesting that they are a source of inspiration and motivation. The second verse continues with the image of the "pretty boy" popping pills and drinking the finest, displaying their wealth and status. They keep their pain hidden and only show off their best selves, never letting others know their true thoughts. The bridge speaks of the influence the "pretty boy" has on others, with people following their every move.
