Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
This world
I don't know no mo' need to cash out
Bless up i'm him, I don't care
I'm him, I don't care
I do what makes me happy
That's why I'm alone it makes me happyI don't pick up the phone it makes me happy
Bless up i know you don't care
I know you don't care
But do it make you happy?
I see that you're home, but are you happy?
Tell me if I'm wrong i want you happy
I fall through, nausy i count the body
Stats on black mamba crown on, Bob Marley
Wrist on Yo Gotti fox
Ma' don't you call me too late for sorry
Your life like βThe Truman Showβ
Likes on your IG
That don't mean they like you though
I'm careful bout who I know
I ducked the party, who said they saw me?
Shout out to my pullout game
Too many cups, I donβt pull out the same
(Don't pull out thΠ΅ same)
Head so good, couldnβt pull out the lanΠ΅
(Couldnβt pull out the lane)
Both was exotic, thatβs a foreign exchange
Shout out to my pullout game
Too many cups, I donβt pull out the same
(Don't pull out the same)Head so good, couldnβt pull out the lane
(Couldnβt pull out the lane)
Both was exotic, thatβs a foreign exchange
Make it look easy
I need my issue, better believe me
Green man! All in my pocket, talkin' Luigi
Fuck all the gas what's up with the play
Whats up with the cash?
Eyes on you, but if it ain't real
I gotta ask
I say, Bless up i'm him, I don't care
I'm him, I don't care
I do what makes me happy
That's why I'm alone it makes me happy
I don't pick up the phone it makes me happy
Bless up i know you don't care
I know you don't care
But do it make you happy?
I see that you're home, but are you happy?
Tell me if I'm wrong
It's a new year comin' in
And I'ma make a vow tonight (Wait)
I won't leave stressed out tonight (Wait)
It won't be no let downs tonight (Wait)
Ain't no well, wish it loud tonight
Let downs tonight
Whatβs wrong, baby, whatβs wrong
Oh, you want the password to my phone?
That type of shit gonβ make
Me leave you alone
That type of shit gonβ make me (M-m-m)
Shout out to my pullout game
Too many cups, I donβt pull out the same
(Don't pull out the same)
Head so good, couldnβt pull out the lane
(Couldnβt pull out the lane)
Both was exotic, thatβs a foreign exchange
Shout out to my pullout game
Too many cups, I donβt pull out the same
(Don't pull out the same)
Head so good, couldnβt pull out the lane
(Couldnβt pull out the lane)
Both was exotic, thatβs a foreign exchange
I usually react to the rumors and the lies
Usually, attract all the losers and the vibe
I gotta do what make sense
If I don't try then I don't win
What do I look like livin' for them?
Bless up i'm him, I don't care
I'm him, I don't care
I do what makes me happy
That's why I'm alone it makes me happy
I don't pick up the phone it makes me happy
Bless up i know you don't care
I know you don't care
But do it make you happy?
I see that you're home, but are you happy?
Tell me if I'm wrong i want you happy
The lyrics of Kendrick Lamar's song "Make Me Happy" touch upon themes of self-awareness, individuality, and the pursuit of happiness amidst societal pressures and expectations. The opening lines, "Too many opinions in the glass house, This world, I don't know no mo' need to cash out," suggest a sense of feeling overwhelmed by external judgments and the need to detach from the materialistic aspects of society in order to find inner peace and contentment. This notion of disconnecting from the noise and focusing on personal happiness is a recurring motif throughout the song.
The chorus emphasizes the importance of staying true to oneself and doing what brings joy and fulfillment, even if it means embracing solitude and eschewing societal norms. Kendrick expresses his independence and self-assuredness, declaring that he does what makes him happy, even if it means being alone and ignoring external distractions. The introspective tone of the lyrics highlights the internal struggle between external validation and self-fulfillment, questioning whether the pursuit of others' approval truly leads to happiness.
The references to iconic figures like Bob Marley and Yo Gotti, as well as the comparison to 'The Truman Show,' symbolize the pressure of living under constant scrutiny and the deception of social media validation. Kendrick's refusal to conform to societal expectations and his skepticism towards superficial relationships underscore his desire for authenticity and genuine connections. The mention of "pullout game" can be interpreted as a metaphor for his ability to navigate relationships and avoid being consumed by external influences that may hinder his personal growth and happiness.
The final verses of the song convey a sense of reflection and resolution, with Kendrick making a vow to prioritize his well-being and mental health. The lyrics suggest a turning point in his journey towards self-acceptance and prioritizing his own happiness above all else. By questioning the motives behind certain behaviors and setting boundaries in relationships, Kendrick asserts his agency and commitment to preserving his mental and emotional stability. Overall, "Make Me Happy" serves as a poignant commentary on the struggles of maintaining authenticity in a world that often prioritizes external validation and conformity, encouraging listeners to prioritize their own well-being and pursue genuine happiness.
