Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You, and me
Yeah we, gotta fix this family
And I know it's hard
But oh, we at least gotta start

Yeah, you and me, my friend, you best believe
We gotta fix this family, you see
It takes two to get to three, relieved
We're gonna leave here happily
Yeah, you and me, my friend, you best believe
We gotta fix this family, you see
It takes two to get to three, relieved
We're gonna leave here happily

You (yes you, yes you)
And me (and me)
Yeah we, make pods, we the peas
Now let's go (let's go, let's go)
Get knee (get knee)
Your knee is deep in happy fantasies (yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)

Yeah, you and me, my friend, you best believe
We gotta fix this family, you see
It takes two to get to three, relieved
We're gonna leave here happily
Yeah, you and me, my friend, you best believe
We gotta fix this family, you see
It takes two to get to three, relieved
We're gonna leave here happily

You and me
You best believe
-amily, you see
Get to three, relieve
We're gonna leave here happily

(Yeah, you and me, my friend, you best believe
We gotta fix this family, you see
It takes two to get to three, relieved
We're gonna leave here happily)

On me, on me




Who's off? Is it me?
I don't think it's you, hold on, hold on

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Lil Nas X's song F9mily start with a message of unity and a need for fixing something - family. The artist is urging someone, maybe a close friend or a family member, to join him in repairing their damaged family bond. He acknowledges the difficulty of the task, but stresses the importance of starting somewhere. As the song progresses, the artist uses analogy to describe the unity that they need to achieve; they are like pods and peas, two parts that belong together. He lures the person he's speaking to, to move beyond the negative experiences they might have had as a family, and together aspire for happy possibilities.


The core message of the song is the importance of repairing and upholding relationships, especially those within a family. The song taps into a universal human theme, wherein one can relate to the lyrics on many levels. Lil Nas X's insights on the need for effort, commitment, and collective responsibility to rebuild connections that have weakened over time is something many people can relate to. The artist's decision to emphasize the need for collaboration and unity rather than individual feats gives the song a deeper, more universal message.
