Lil Nas X Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I don't know what's gonna bring you down
I don't know, but I'm gonna bring you down
I don't know, but I'm gonna bring you down
I'm looking at you and I got a trick up my sleeve
And yes, I'm peeping ya secret so you get ready to leave
The media's calling, oh baby, that's TMZ
I don't know what's gonna bring you down
I don't know what's gonna bring you down
I don't know, but I'm gonna bring you down (down)
I don't know, but I'm gonna bring you down
I dug up your past and now I know all of your moves
And I got witnesses, statements, and I got all of the proof
I'm wondering 'bout you because I got nothing to do
I noticed you're winning and I got nothing to lose
I don't know what's gonna bring you down (down)
I don't know what's gonna bring you down (down)
I don't know, but I'm gonna bring you down (down)
I don't know, but I'm gonna bring you down
I don't know what's gonna bring you down (down)
I don't know what's gonna bring you down (down)
I don't know, but I'm gonna bring you down (down)
I don't know what's gonna bring you down
(I don't know what's gonna bring you down)
(I don't know what's gonna bring you down)
In Lil Nas X's song "Bring U Down," the artist seems to be addressing someone who has been successful and is on top of the world. However, instead of being happy for them or trying to support them, Lil Nas X seems to be out to ruin them. The first few lines of the chorus repeats the idea that while the singer doesn't know what will bring this person down, he himself is going to be the one to do it. The rest of the lyrics expand on this sentiment with Lil Nas X talking about how he's dug up this person's past, knows their secrets, and has all the proof of their questionable behavior.
One possible explanation for this song is that Lil Nas X is commenting on the nature of fame and success. In a world where people are constantly being praised one day and then torn down the next, it can be hard to know who to trust. The media is always hungry for a story, and celebrities are often the ones to suffer the most when their dirty laundry is aired for the world to see. Lil Nas X seems to be taking on the role of the media in this song, threatening to bring this successful person down and expose their secrets.
Overall, "Bring U Down" seems to be a cautionary tale about the dangers of fame and success. In a world where everyone is looking for their fifteen minutes of fame, it can be hard to know who to trust, and the threat of being brought down is always looming.
