Her
Kota the Friend Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Why you gotta be so mean?
I be the only one on your team
That nigga only wanna fuck you twice
Fuck it I ain't really tryna cause no scene
I've been trying to make you my girl
You ain't tryna give me that shot it seem
You be in my DMs when you bored
You just really wanna keep me on your string
Girl you wrong, know you are
You just mad 'cause I told you off
Know what, you ain't gotta tell me shit
But under that shell, girl I know you soft
Right now you just playing
But by the time that you ready
I trust it'll be too late
There nothing that you can say
I'm a thousand miles away
On an island where there's no Twitter
And iMessage is delayed
Like 'bout forever in a day
I lay low, on my grind
If not you'll take all my time
Just cause you been on my mind
To my room I be confined
I'm just chatting, truth is you ain't all that kid
You was just cute with an eye for the fashion
Could've been a thing girl, shit so tragic
By my side while I zip through traffic
Ooh, hope you good
Living your life like I know you would
Showing off with that smile I love
Getting your dreams like I know you could

I call, she call
I miss, she miss
I fall, she stand
She fall, I dip
She lie, I lie
It's never ending
She lose, I lose
Nobody winning

Just don't got the time
Gotta get paid it's the bottom line
And you love me girl, and I know you do
Just don't got that much love for you
And I try to leave, but you make it hard
And you hate when a brother gotta tell the truth
You drag it out, and I hold you close
And in the end I ain't even really helping you
See I got a thing for this new chick
She bad news but we similar
'Cause he fucked up and she stupid
And she don't even know what's good for her
And I drown the pain in this Vodka
Head on spin like a chopper
Heart torn up into pieces
Tired as fuck of the drama
Mama said, "You too young to fall in love"
"You just sixteen" but I ain't listen
Now I'm in this shit, time is passing I'm twenty-three
I don't trust a soul, like what the fuck?
Maybe it's best that I be alone
Either she creeping or she get too high
Or she stay meddling through my phone
But this our generation, stressed and anxious
Folks so fucking basic
We so angry and we so sad
When we get a good thing we don't know how to take it
Everything be so simple
But we make it so complex
And one day she'll uplift you
Next day you left on read, you know

I call, she call
I miss, she miss
I fall, she stand
She fall, I dip
She lie, I lie
It's never ending
She lose, I lose
Nobody winning

And I tried, but this shit just way too hard
Girl our love shouldn't be no job
Gotta thank God for the bullets I dodge
I pray hard for the woman that love me
If she find me that's her loss
Gonna be dolo all my days
Uh, watch me live mad long, I'm exhausted
Now I'm free like every morning
Sun is shining, birds is flying
Life is good in California
Me and Jack, that's my rider
Jet Blue say we be frequent flyers
Basic bitches stay away
'Cause they don't see me in designers
Oh, that's fine with me, I be on my odyssey
I live life for me and my fam got a lot to see
There ain't nothing that I'm tryna be
Yo I'm classic, in the crib with the iTunes blasting
Incense lit by the key lime cactus
Floors stay swept and the fridge stay packed
Kid cooking up some smoked salmon
I'ma still think about you
And I'ma still ink about you
And I'ma say only good things
To my friends when I speak about you
'Cause I ain't gotta reason not to
You're a joy, you're a queen
Could have been something that I need
If I wasn't me and you wasn't hurt
If we wasn't broken, then we could work (we could work)

I call, she call
I miss, she miss
I fall, she stand
She fall, I dip
She lie, I lie
It's never ending




She lose, I lose
Nobody winning

Overall Meaning

The track "Her" by KOTA The Friend is a poignant reflection on love, heartbreak, and the complicated dynamics of relationships. At the beginning of the track, KOTA vents his frustrations at a girl who he perceives as mean and manipulative. He claims that she only keeps him around for attention and only wants him when she's bored. Despite his feelings of anger and betrayal, he still acknowledges that he has a real soft spot for her deep down.


As the song progresses, KOTA continues to grapple with his complicated emotions. He's torn between his desire to move on and his lingering feelings for his ex-girlfriend. He tells her that he doesn't have much love left for her and that he's moving on to someone new, but deep down he knows that he'll always feel a connection to her, no matter what. He concludes with a bittersweet admission that if they weren't both so broken, they could have had something special together.


Overall, the song is a powerful meditation on the complexities of love and human relationships. It's an honest and vulnerable depiction of the ups and downs of romantic connections, and a reminder that even when things go wrong, there's always room for hope and growth.

Incense burning next to the key lime cactus


Floors stay swept and the fridge stay packed
The floors are always clean, and the fridge is always full


Kid cooking up some smoked salmon
I am preparing some smoked salmon


I'ma still think about you
I will still think about you


And I'ma still ink about you
And I will still write about you


And I'ma say only good things
And I will only say positive things


To my friends when I speak about you
When I talk about you to my friends


'Cause I ain't gotta reason not to
Because I don't have a reason not to


You're a joy, you're a queen
You bring happiness, you are majestic


Could have been something that I need
We could have been something important to me


If I wasn't me and you wasn't hurt
If I wasn't myself and you weren't emotionally damaged


If we wasn't broken, then we could work (we could work)
If we weren't emotionally damaged, then we could make our relationship function


I call, she call
I call her, she calls me


I miss, she miss
I miss her, she misses me


I fall, she stand
I fall, she remains strong


She fall, I dip
She falls, I move away


She lie, I lie
She lies, I lie


It's never ending
It is never-ending


She lose, I lose
She loses, I lose


Nobody winning
Nobody is winning
