Today
Kodak Black Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But today, I don't want to take no pictures
Today, I'm not Kodak I'm Lil Bill
Today, I don't give a fuck how you feel
And I don't wanna go in front of no crowd
Today, I wanna tote my .40 cal
Sorry, I ain't wanna take your mixtape
Sorry, I forgot it was your b-day
You ain't ever tell me happy birthday
Today they gon' read my nigga verdict
Today I might post a Throwback Thursday
She wanna fuck with me because I'm Haitian
And that boy don't fuck with me because I'm Haitian
Fuck the fame, I be in my own lane paper chasin'
Road runnin, gettin' to the money I be drag racin'
I wanna fuck you too girl but I can't
Your boyfriend ain't gon' play my songs again
Well fuck it, you ain't gotta be a fan
Nigga is you a groupie or my friend?
Fuck your daughter, I ain't comin to her party
I'mma be there Kodak boppin, acting rowdy
I don't think you want me at her party, I might lace the birthday cake with molly
I'm in the mall, don't talk to me I'm shoppin'
Baby girl, your MCM be flockin'
Sorry, I don't mean to disrespect him
But nigga, I ain't come to hear no lectures
Sorry, I don't want to sound offensive
But today, I don't want to take no pictures
Today, I'm not Kodak I'm Lil Bill
Today, I don't give a fuck how you feel
And I don't wanna go in front of no crowd
Today, I wanna tote my .40 cal
Sorry, I ain't wanna take your mixtape
Sorry, I forgot it was your bday
I don't give a fuck about your birthday
You ain't ever tell me happy birthday
Today they gon' read my nigga verdict
Today I might post a Throwback Thursday
The first verse of Kodak Black's song "Today" begins with him being unapologetically blunt about not wanting to take any pictures or deal with anyone's requests. He introduces himself as Lil Bill for the day and makes it clear that he is not interested in any crowds, only in carrying his weapon. He goes on to apologize for not wanting to listen to someone's music, but quickly shows that he doesn't care about birthdays or social niceties with lines like "I don't give a fuck about your birthday/ You ain't ever tell me happy birthday." The next few lines show Kodak's loyalty and devotion to his Haitian roots, despite others not respecting him for it. He doesn't care about fame or being a part of anyone else's journey, he's just focused on making his own money and reaching his own success. He ends the verse by again asserting his individuality and independence, refusing to listen to lectures or take pictures.
The chorus repeats the theme of not wanting to take pictures or be involved in anyone else's plans. Kodak again identifies as Lil Bill and emphasizes his desire to carry his firearm instead of being in front of a crowd. He apologizes again for not wanting to take someone's mixtape and not caring about birthdays, before sharing that he has a friend facing a verdict that day.
In summary, the song "Today" is a declaration of Kodak Black's desire for autonomy and independence from external pressures or obligations. He prioritizes his own interests and mental health over the expectations of others, and refuses to participate in societal norms like taking pictures or participating in birthdays. He remains true to his Haitian roots and focuses solely on his own success, without concern for fame or others' validation.
