Frank For You
Maeta Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

D'Usse with a little Coke
And a little smoke 'fore I hit the road
Yeah, I change up like I change hoes
And I change those like I'm Nate Dogg (okay)

They say they be on the up
But they never up, they just study us
Yeah, that's fine, let 'em make due
'Cause you're no fool, so you come through
Yeah

You want someone, and I'm someone
But it's much too soon
Too soon
You know what's up, this ain't true love
But you'll get through to somebody
Yeah

Pointless trying, oh
Pointless trying to love someone that won't
Won't commit
Being how I am
Being how I am is no way for you
You to live (I know)

Sometimes I get a little hopeless
But you're no better than me, yeah
Sometimes I see your disappointment
But that's no better than me, yeah
Me, yeah

Ah, sunset during sunset
And I ain't right so I can't text
And I can't call 'cause you can't know
I have two phones and my main one's at home
Nobu with my side boo
That I take out when I can't choose
Yeah, you know 'cause you no fool
But you always forget when I sing like Frank for you, ooh
Ah, ah, ooh (oh, oh)

You know it's pointless trying, oh
Pointless trying to love someone that won't
Won't commit
Being how I am
Being how I am is no way for you
You to live (I know)

Sometimes I get a little hopeless (sometimes)
But you're no better than me, yeah (you're no better than me)
Sometimes I see your disappointment
But that's no better than me, yeah
Me, yeah

I know that I may do some things to give you hope, boy
But you're no better than me, yeah
And even when you finally find somebody else, boy




I kinda hope she won't be everything you needed
Needed

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "Frank For You" by Maeta reflect a complex and conflicted emotional state. The opening lines describe a scene where the singer indulges in D'Usse (cognac) with a little Coke, and engages in some smoking before hitting the road. This sets a tone of self-destructive behavior and the need for escape. The mention of changing partners and comparing it to Nate Dogg, a late rapper known for his numerous collaborations, implies a non-committal attitude towards relationships.


The second verse reveals a sense of superiority towards those who claim to be on the rise but are merely observing and imitating the singer's actions. The singer acknowledges that these individuals are unable to reach the same level of authenticity and intelligence. The chorus conveys the singer's recognition that they are someone the other person desires, but it is too early for any meaningful connection or "true love." The admonition to "get through to somebody" suggests a lack of emotional fulfillment.


In the next verse, the lyrics delve into the singer's internal struggle and uncertainty. They express feeling hopeless and inferior at times, but emphasize that the other person is not superior either. The mention of disappointment alludes to the tension and letdown experienced by both parties in the relationship. The last verse acknowledges the occasional display of hope towards the other person but also hopes that they won't find someone who fulfills their needs completely, implying a desire to keep them dependent on the singer.


Overall, "Frank For You" portrays a complex mix of emotions such as dissatisfaction, longing, superiority, and self-doubt. It explores themes of non-commitment, emotional unavailability, and the realization that both individuals involved are flawed in their own ways.
