Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
For my lady
So I can't jeopardize that for one of these hoes
I been living without limits
As far as my business
I'm the only one that's in control
I been feeling all I've given
For my children
God, I'm willing
To make this my mission
Give up the women
Before I lose half of what I own
I been thinking
About my vision
Pour out my feelings
Revealing the layers to my soul
My soul
The layers to my soul
Revealing the layers to my soul
Wish I would go ahead and fuck my life up
Can't let them get to me
And even though I always fuck my life up
Only I can mention me
See, before I let you go
One last thing I need to let you know
You ain't never seen nothing crazier than
This nigga when he off his Lexapro
Remember that last time in Mexico
Remember that last time, the episode
Asking me why the hell I text in code
Four times just to say don't text me hoe
Told you four times, don't test me hoe
Now we finna lose all self-control
But you ain't finna be raising your voice at me
Especially when we in the Giuseppe store
But I'mma have the last laugh in the end
Cause I'm from a tribe called check a hoe
Yeah, I'mma have to laugh Indian
Cause I'm from a tribe called check a hoe
And I
Wish I would go ahead and fuck my life up
Can't let them get to me
And even though I always fuck my life up
Only I can mention me
Wish I would go ahead and fuck my life up
Can't let them get to me
And even though I always fuck my life up
Only I can mention me
See through the veil
And forget all of your cares
Throw them
Throw them away
Don't stop your loving
Don't stop for nothing
No, not for nothing
They don't wanna see me love you
Nah, don't stop it
They always love it
They always wanna
They don't wanna see me love you
They don't wanna see me love you
They don't wanna see me love you
Oh, life's a feeling, yeah
Oh, the body's a feeling
In "FML," Kanye West explores the complications that arise in his relationships due to his personal struggles and inner demons. The lyrics highlight how he has been waiting for his lady and acknowledges that he cannot jeopardize his relationship for the women who try to interfere. He has been living without limits, running his own business, and taking control of his life. Despite this, he is constantly feeling the weight of the things he has done and the impact they may have on his loved ones. Kanye is willing to change, including giving up the women who try to distract him before he loses what he has built. He has been reflecting on his purpose and pours his feelings out, revealing the layers to his soul. He wishes to go ahead and mess things up for himself but acknowledges it is only he who can mention himself. Through everything, he still loves his partner, and no one can stop him from loving her.
Throughout the song, he references past experiences with his mental health, such as remembering his last episode in Mexico and how he acted irrationally. Kanye is from a tribe called 'check a hoe,' meaning he will always check anyone who tries to interfere with his life in any way. He refuses to let anyone raise their voice at him or stop him from loving his partner. The song ultimately taps into the notion that life is a feeling, and the body is a feeling. The lyrics suggest that we should throw away our worries and never stop loving those important to us, even when others try to stop us.
