Fearless
LiL Xtra Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Wake up what the fuck that hurts yeah I broke your heart I'm the worst I'm sorry
But my shoulder's torn and my heart feels worn dunno what I'm gonna do about surgery
And you're not gonna listen, think I'm just bitching, guess there's no use pretending
There's a silver lining in this hurricane, pain on the way whole world is ending

Wake up what the fuck this hurts nerve block wore off and I can't stop crying
For five weeks oxy is in me and I can't quit better believe I've been trying
Six months and you're fixed, that's a myth, been a year and I'm still in the ditch such a mess
Act like i switched up just pissed 18 months in it still hurts to get dressed

I'm sorry for the dark that you can't see
And I'm sorry for the light that I can't bring
And I'm sorry if you're near me I scream and it seems that you see but you just can't hear me
I'm sorry if this song seems campy
And I'm sorry for the things that I can't be
And I'm sorry if you hear this, I couldn't be brave and I'll never be fearless

Now it's been a few years and i've shed a few tears no relief for the weight on my back now
Buy an ounce looking so innocent, I'm trapping out my girls mini-fridge make it back now
Just to make a few bucks, I'm feeling like a chump, my music fucking sucks take it all down
Put it back the next week people sleep but these words will kill me if I don't get them all out

Wake up what the fuck this song's blowing up holy shit this is it, people care now
My old life's gone but my new life spawned, now I'm on and I'm not gonna wear down
Life merging with dreams I just want to feel free, I just want my art seen like a Rembrandt
On my way, we the wave, but my body's just pain and I'm tryna be brave but I can't

I'm sorry for the dark that you can't see
And I'm sorry for the light that I can't bring
And I'm sorry if you're near me I scream and it seems that you see but you just can't hear me
I'm sorry if this song seems campy
And I'm sorry for the things that I can't be
And I'm sorry if you hear this, I couldn't be brave and I'll never be fearless

I've got a lie tattooed on my side...
It says I'll stay strong...

I'm sorry for the dark that you can't see




And I'm sorry for the light that I can't bring
And I'm sorry if you hear this I couldn't be brave

This newfound success is something he wants to hold on to, but his body still hurts, and he struggles to be brave. The lie tattooed on his side, promising strength, seems to be a metaphor for his internal struggle to keep going.


In summary, Fearless by LiL Xtra is a raw and honest account of emotional and physical pain, struggling to find hope and bravery in the face of adversity, and the artist's journey as a musician.

Hello, I am from the Dominican Republic, I know this is not relevant, but I do not know English and for this reason I could not understand the lyrics, but today I looked for the lyrics and I must say that I appreciate your art with all my heart, I swear that I am looking for lyrics but in this I was slower to look for the meaning, I adore you as an artist, I know that my words are insignificant, they don't matter, but I really love your songs, I feel suspicious when I listen to them, it's as if I wanted them just for me, I love your voice, I love your tone, I love everything and I have downloaded them all in a pirate way because I do not have money to buy them. I have moved away from everything, I do not want anything and I like listening to you, I have created a kind of crush without knowing you and I apologize, please, I hope you will read it someday, you must not answer, I do not want anyone to do it, it is my thinking In this regard, I do not want them to spoil the pinch of happiness that I adopt at the end of a song of yours, I love you very much, Lil Xtra, if you want to be great you will be, I want that for you ... no, I want that for you, te adoro mucho, eres grande y fuerte. β™‘
