The Most Important Things Aren't Things
Lil Revive Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Labels like vultures all chasin' a mil
Man, they just beggin' to sign me like I'm 'bout to blow up
So they can make twenty percent when I show up
I don't need the shit that you offer me
Swear my career isn't your fuckin' lottery
Don't want to be the next relevant topic
Or verified check, put the team in an office
Help the fans out the dark when they feel lost
I won't make green just to give you a piece
No LA dreams for the boy, tough seats
So fuck being famous, I don't entertain it
You're lucky I even showed up to that lame shit
How can I say this? All that shit heinous
All of that smoke and mirror shit tainted
And I know that it's hard sometimes, but don't let go
The world will keep on movin'
Without you, so let them know, know, know
If I die in peace, will the reaper weep?
Will you take my hand? Will the reaper weep?
If I die in fame, will they know my name?
Will it stay the same or will it fade away?
If I die in peace, will the reaper weep?
Will you take my hand? Will the reaper weep?
If I die in vain, will they know my name?
Will it stay the same or will it fade away
In his song "The Most Important Things Aren't Things," Lil Revive expresses his dissatisfaction with the music industry and the pressure to sign with major labels. The first verse talks about how labels are like vultures, chasing after money and begging to sign him before he becomes famous so they can make a profit. He rejects their offers and insists that his career isn't anyone's lottery. He doesn't want to be a relevant topic or have a verified checkmark on social media. Instead, he wants to make music, get paid, and help fans who feel lost. In the chorus, he questions what kind of legacy he will leave behind and wonders if he will be forgotten or missed when he's gone.
The second verse continues the theme of questioning the value of fame. Lil Revive rejects the idea of being famous for its own sake and says that he doesn't entertain it. He criticizes the "smoke and mirrors" of the industry and the way that it taints everything with fake hype. The chorus repeats the questions about dying in peace or in fame, and whether his name will be remembered or forgotten.
Overall, this song is a reflection on the meaning of success and the value of human connection. Lil Revive suggests that fame and money are not the most important things in life, and that what matters most is having a meaningful impact on others. He rejects the pressure to conform to industry standards and instead seeks to make authentic music for his fans.
