Me for Me
Kodak Black Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'm getting so much money these days
It's hard to figure out who love me for me
Tryna balance out everything
I'm getting sabotaged every way
You don't want to but you gotta change
It's gon' hurt you tryna stay the same
Are you in it or you in it for the fame
I'm tryna figure out who love me for me

I'm tryna figure out who want to see me winning
I already know resentment brings envy
I'm a business man I'm a fucking business
So I can't be up in the penitentiary
And I just wanna be able to tell who really with me
Is she for me or is she just playing with my feelings
And I don't want to but I gotta switch up
'Cause you niggas want to have me locked up in the system
Even though that's who I am I gotta change my life
I'm getting so much money now I can't be slinging iron
And girl when we hooked up you said you gon' ride or die
So I'm assuming that you dead 'cause you damn sure ain't riding

I'm getting so much money these days
It's hard to figure out who love me for me
Tryna balance out everything
I'm getting sabotaged every way
You don't want to but you gotta change
It's gon' hurt you tryna stay the same
Are you in it or you in it for the fame
I'm tryna figure out who love me for me

I went to jail twelve times I'll never go again
Even though I said the same thing my other bid
Everybody stopped fucking with me 'cause I keep going in
And I'm feeling like Ben Franklin my only friend
'Cause that nigga kept it real stayed in my pocket
He was with me when y'all weren't fucking with me in the projects
Is you in it for the fame or do you really like me?
It's hard to tell when I got five mill and a Breitling
I know you don't want to but you gotta change your surroundings
'Cause them niggas don't want to change all they know is violence
I'm a sniper you know all my niggas move in silence
I'm trying to balance out my life I'm doing mathematics

I'm getting so much money these days
It's hard to figure out who love me for me
Tryna balance out everything
I'm getting sabotaged every way
You don't want to but you gotta change
It's gon' hurt you tryna stay the same




Are you in it or you in it for the fame
I'm tryna figure out who love me for me

Overall Meaning

In "Meant For Me," Kodak Black talks about his struggles with success and figuring out who truly loves him. He speaks about how being successful can put him in positions where people love him for his money and fame instead of him as a person. He references the difficulties of trying to balance everything in his life and how he feels like he's getting sabotaged from every angle. He tells us that he must change himself in order to succeed in his career, but that change hurts him. He questions the motives of everyone around him and asks who is really with him.


Kodak Black mentions the imprisonment and how he's been to jail multiple times, and his wish not to return. He recalls how many people around him stopped supporting him when he went to jail, but Ben Franklin always remained with him. Franklin kept it real and stayed in his pocket even when nobody else would give him the time of day. Kodak Black says that the difficulty now is figuring out who genuinely likes him for himself and not what he can do for them. Finally, he talks about how he's trying to do better and balance out his life, but the while the journey is challenging, he wants to find out who truly loves him for who he is.
