No V.I.P.
Lucy Love Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

No I'm no V. I. P.

No, I'm no V. I. P.
The bouncers think I've got fake I'd
Don't have a hit record or a dvd
But my rhymes fit on my bars so nicely
So no I'm no V. I. P.
I'm not Beyoncй, Christina or Britney
Unlike them you can't trick me
Cos I don't move slowly
I move quickly

Nowadays, rappers with gold act like kings
They're put on pedestals and given sparkling wings
It's about time we cut those strings cos when it's all gone
That's when it really stings
They flash their diamonds they flash their rings
But I don't give a s**t about their shiny things
Cos real happiness is what money never brings
So in the long run it's me who wins
I've got the same damn shoes the same damn laces
But they can still take me to new places
I don't need Gucci incrusted bracelets
Five different cars or a hundred suitcases
I might not be recognised by a thousand faces
But karma's a b***h if you're the one
Who never ever embraces
Your gems are worthless if your actions don't leave traces
And not all sparkling doors lead to crystal stair-cases
So follow the white rabbit down the rabbit-hole
Where the constant search for stardust
Makes your heart turn cold
Your dreams will disappear and then never unfold
You'll be forgotten by tomorrow
Cos not all that glitters is gold.

No, I'm no V. I. P.
The bouncers think I've got fake I'd
Don't have a hit record or a dvd
But my rhymes fit on my bars so nicely
So no I'm no V. I. P.
I'm not Beyoncй, Christina or Britney
Unlike them you can't trick me
Cos I don't move slowly
I move quickly

Nowadays, it's not about the filling but about the icing
Want extra sprinkles no that's not surprising
Cos magazines keep writing
Saying it's the bling bling that's enticing
Now I'm the editor and I'm retyping
Cos penniless pockets wont stop me from climbing
Who needs rocks when words are blinding
When the power of speech is forever shining
No I might not have a mansion in the hills
A chain like Eminem or blazing grills
Who needs that stuff when it never fulfills
But celebrities swallow it like placebo pills
All it does is leave them with empty tills
So stay true and protect your skills
You might have problems
Yeah, you might have bills
But remember one thing
Too much stardom only ever kills

No, I'm no V. I. P.
The bouncers think I've got fake I'd
Don't have a hit record or a dvd
But my rhymes fit on my bars so nicely
So no I'm no V. I. P.
I'm not Beyoncй, Christina or Britney




Unlike them you can't trick me
Cos I don't move slowly I move quickly

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of the song 'No V.I.P.' by Lucy Love are all about rejecting the idea that an artist needs to be a part of the VIP (Very Important Person) club to be successful. The song talks about how the need for fame and fortune has caused people to lose sight of what truly matters in life- real talent and personal happiness. The song speaks to people who are tired of being judged by how much wealth or status they have, and encourages them to remain true to themselves and their talents.


The opening lines of the song express the frustration that many people have felt when they have been denied entry into a VIP club because they don't have the right level of prestige. The lyrics then go on to criticize the way that some people elevate themselves above others because of their fame and fortune. The artist argues that real happiness cannot be bought and that true success is measured not by how much wealth you have, but by how much you give back to the world.


The second part of the song speaks directly to young artists who are trying to make it in the industry. Lucy Love encourages these artists to stay true to their skills and not compromise their integrity for the sake of fame. The song criticizes the commercialization of talent and encourages young artists to focus on the substance of their work rather than on the superficial things that distract them from their creative potential.


Overall, 'No V.I.P.' is a call to artists to reject the idea that they need to be a part of the elite club of very important people to be successful. Instead, the song encourages artists to focus on their individual talents and to remain true to themselves, without being swayed by the allure of fame and fortune.
