Along with “The Brightside”, “Problems” features a music video produced and filmed by Paul John at the Midnight Cinema studio in Chicago. As it is still unreleased, very little information has been disclosed about the video, except that some of its sequences come from “The night Peep came back”—a staging of Peep’s funeral where the young rapper comes out of his coffin to kill all those present at his funeral.
Problems
LIL PEEP Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I know I spent a lot of time in the background
Everytime that we together, I black out
Everytime that we together, she tap out
I remember, but she part of my past now
I remember all this shit from the past now
Took a pill and we passed out
I made a deal with the devil
You know I got my problems (problems)
Know you got yours too (know you got yours too)
Hold on to my revolver (revolver)
They ain't looking for you (they ain't looking for you)
Oh, girl, don't even bother (bother)
Why she act brand new? (Why she act brand new?)
Take what the devil offer (offer)
I got nothing to lose (I got nothing to lose)
Spent a lot of time in the background
You know I spent a lot of time in the background
Everytime that we together, I black out
Everytime that we together, she tap out
I remember, but she part of my past now
I remember all this shit from the past now
Took a pill and we passed out
I made a deal with the devil
You know I got my problems (problems)
Know you got yours too (know you got yours too)
Hold on to my revolver (revolver)
They ain't looking for you (they ain't looking for you)
Oh, girl, don't even bother (bother)
Why she act brand new? (Why she act brand new?)
Take what the devil offer (offer)
I got nothing to lose (I got nothing to lose)
