Need a Break
Kodak Black Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Nah baby this ain't no Dear John letter
But I hope you don't take it the wrong way man
But I need me a little space a little time to think you know
To see what I really want, and see what I really want to do and where I wanna be
But in due time you know when I realize the truth, it's you
I hope you just don't go to far away from me
Or let one of these vultures come snatch your heart away from me you know if it's love it's love
Loyalty out value everything, yeah loyalty, out, value everything

Baby it ain't you it's just me I need a break
'Cause you keep accusing me of cheating on you baby
I don't want to lose you but I need a lil space
As long as you don't move to a whole 'nother state
You still gon' be my number one
I ain't finna change my number
Just been fucking up my summer lately
And I ain't got no time to fuss on the daily

You might not understand this girl
This might actually be the best thing for us
We keep arguing every day boo
Eventually you gon' make me hate you
Me and you ain't got the same view, girl
You don't see that it's a great move, girl
It ain't gon' break you it's go'n save you, girl
'Cause I've been feeling like I hate you, girl
It's like you ain't got no faith in me
'Cause lately you've been irritating me
I don't want to drive you crazy
I'd rather drive Mercedes

Baby it ain't you it's just me I need a break
'Cause you keep accusing me of cheating on you baby
I don't want to lose you but I need a lil space
As long as you don't move to a whole 'nother state
You still gon' be my number one
I ain't finna change my number
Just been fucking up my summer lately
And I ain't got no time to fuss on the daily

You don't trust me you've been losing your mind
Don't believe I'm in the studio all night
You want me to stay on Facetime
And make these rhymes at the same time
All this questioning be having me all stressed
You been fucking up my thinking process
I took too much of shrooms I feel like I'm outer space
You keep listening to these rumors they're throwing in your face
I say all I want is you and don't listen to them bae
But I'm out here what it do you don't trust me anyway
I've been running out of love
You wanna fuss I wanna fuck

Baby it ain't you it's just me I need a break
'Cause you keep accusing me of cheating on you baby
I don't want to lose you but I need a lil space
As long as you don't move to a whole 'nother state
You still gon' be my number one
I ain't finna change my number




Just been fucking up my summer lately
And I ain't got no time to fuss on the daily

Overall Meaning

In Kodak Black's song "Need a Break," the lyrics revolve around the singer's need for space and time to himself. He tells his partner that he hopes they don't take it the wrong way but that he needs to figure out what he wants to do and where he wants to be. Although he reassures his partner that he values loyalty above all else, he needs a break to sort out his feelings. He assures his partner that as long as they don't move to another state, they will remain his number one. The singer feels that his partner does not understand him and that their arguments are becoming exhausting. He tells his partner that this space might just be the best thing for both of them, as the constant fighting could eventually lead to him hating her.


The song touches upon the importance of loyalty and the need for personal independence, even within a relationship. The singer expresses his desire to figure out what he wants without compromising his relationship, and hopes that his partner will respect his decision to take some time apart. This decision is not an indication of his lack of regard for her, but rather a means to maintain a healthy relationship. The song also touches upon the impact of rumors and how they can affect one's relationship, particularly when trust is already an issue.
