Myself
Lute Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'm not an introvert, I really just don't fuck with niggas
So to myself nowadays, it's really hard to read intentions
Funny how people who act distant say you actin' different
Trust me, if I don't fuck with you, I keep it consistent, uh
Life's a challenge, so for balance had to right some wrongs
If it didn't bring me peace, then please don't call my phone
Watch your tone, niggas want so much, I wish I had a clone
Feelin' like Tyrese, what more you want from me?
I just want my baby
Lifestyle drive me crazy, who the fuck gon' save me?
Niggas tryna play me
Contemplating daily if I should blow this bitch up
Kick a door, then load this bitch up, hold this bitch up
I'm Pac, it's Bishop, you timid as fuck, niggas switch up
Every time a nigga see a nigga close to the bread
I'm close to the edge, try a nigga
I got niggas that'll come for your head
While my daughter sleep in comfort instead
Try a nigga, I got niggas that'll come for your head

Way too much goin' on, "Do Not Disturb" on my phone
Where I lay my head don't feel like home
And niggas wonder why I be in my zone
Way too much goin' on, "Do Not Disturb" on my phone
Where I lay my head don't feel like home
And niggas wonder why I be in my zone

Lay my head down and I pray to the Lord
Wanna be by myself
Leave me, I'll be good all alone
All good by myself, yeah

People switch up quick, that's what you find out fast
So ironic that you'll be the one to find out last
They throw stones at your character, but be a house of glass
We in this bitch until I fucking crash and if it's out of gas
And even then we push this bitch to make it last, shit
All my life I've been pushing just to make it past shit
Sippin' 40s from a paper bag, shit
I paid my dues, who gon' pay it back?
The day I signed, I always play it back
'Cause all those nights I challenged God like, "Nigga where you at?"
Yet still I pray my only peace of Heaven was the hope inside
Held back my tears, yet half the shit I couldn't cope inside
Never thought that my life and dreams would ever coincide
'Cause I remember nights I asked myself like, "Who the fuck am I?"
Living legend, now I'm that fucking guy, you wonder why
'Cause fake it until you make it was always a fucking lie




Back against the wall, my only flaw is if I never tried
Back against the wall, my only flaw is if I never tried

Overall Meaning

In Lute's song, "Myself," the lyrics express the rapper's struggles with trust and self-discovery. The opening line, "I'm not an introvert, I really just don't fuck with niggas," sets the tone for the rest of the song. Lute is not afraid of being alone; he doesn't need the validation of others to feel fulfilled. However, this independence comes at a cost – he struggles to read people's intentions and has trouble trusting those around him. He recognizes that people will often accuse him of "acting different" when, in reality, they are the ones who are distant.


Lute confronts his inner turmoil head-on, acknowledging that life is a challenge and that it is essential to right his wrongs to create balance. He is not interested in anything that doesn't bring him peace and explicitly tells others not to call him if that is what they are offering. Throughout the song, Lute references his daughter and how he wants to provide for her. However, he also feels the pressure of his lifestyle and the people who try to take advantage of him. In the end, he prays for the strength to remain independent and succeed on his own terms.
