Around Me
Metro Boomin Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Like I know you are
She sitting here for hours, ain't been tellin' none'
It was all cool and it was just for fun
(If Young Metro don't trust you, I'm gon' shoot you)
Too much shit on your mental
Yeah, they callin' it tenfold
Show in here where the bands fold
I locked in your info
I'm 'bout to jump out the window
I seen too many worlds and I
Want you to be my girl tonight
Know I gotta keep them drugs 'round me
I gotta keep a couple plugs around
I, I seen way too many worlds and I
I want you to be my girl tonight
Know I keep a couple drugs 'round
I gotta keep a couple plugs around
Now you wan' talk when the money come in
Niggas went bad, they goin' out sad, they never gon' win
I been goin' like ten for ten
Get it on movie, get it on film
Get it on movie, get it on film
Pour my cup way above the brim
I went and got the cup with the all-white trim
Finna go and dunk way above the rim
Cold at night, so it was hard to flip
Niggas were lit when the harder hit
I ain't think twice whenever I get it
I was goin' Shiest' with the all-black fitted
I was goin' Shiesty in all-black
I was on ten when you call back
Had to think twice and you fall back
I hit a mean lick, and it was all racks
I was goin' Shiesty in all-black
I was on ten when you call back
Had to think twice and you fall back
I hit a mean lick, and it was all racks
I seen too many worlds and I
Want you to be my girl tonight
Know I gotta keep them drugs 'round me
I gotta keep a couple plugs around
I, I seen way too many worlds and I
I want you to be my girl tonight
Know I keep a couple drugs 'round
I gotta keep a couple plugs around
Heroes are inspired
Emerging only when needed
Revealing themselves to the world in a moment marked by the realization of their ultimate destiny
With backs against the wall, they ascend the winding path of their own fate
Barely knowing the ledge, despite coping as living their whole life as two hands
The lyrics of Metro Boomin's song "Around Me" are quite self-explanatory. The song talks about a young man who has seen too much in his life and is now searching for someone he can trust. He meets a girl who seems to understand him, and he wants her to be his girl. But, he knows he cannot let his guard down; he has to keep himself surrounded by the right people and keep some drugs and plugs around him. This lifestyle has been a reminder of how hard it is to trust people, and for that reason, he is willing to go "all-black shiesty" to protect himself.
The song offers some interesting perspectives on trust, relationships, and life. It highlights the fact that people have to be careful about who they trust and who they let into their lives. It also showcases how the rap industry works and how people have to surround themselves with the right people to succeed.

[Intro: Don Toliver, Future]
(Metro!)
Don't know you on
She sitting here for hours, ain't been tellin' nothin'
It was all cool and it was just for fun
(If Young Metro don't trust you, I'm gon' shoot you)
[Verse 1: Don Toliver]
Too much shit on your mental
Got to switch up the tempo
Youngin' call and get tenfold
Show in here with the bands folded
Locked in with yo' info
I wanna jump out the window
[Chorus: Don Toliver]
I seen too many whirls tonight
Would you wanna be my girl tonight?
Know I gotta keep a them drugs 'round me
I gotta keep a couple plugs around me
I seen too many whirls tonight
Would you wanna be my girl tonight?
Know I gotta keep a them drugs 'round me
I gotta keep a couple plugs around me
[Verse 2: Don Toliver]
Know you wan' talk when the money come in
Niggas went bad, they goin' outside, they never gon' win
I been goin' like ten for ten
Get it on movie, get it on film
Get it on movie, get it on film
Fill my cup way above the brim
I went and got the cup with the all-white trim
Finna go and dump way above the rim
Love the nights, so it's hard to flip
Niggas been lit when the hard-done hit
I ain't think twice whenever I get it
I was goin' Shiesty with the all-black fitted
[Bridge: Don Toliver]
I was goin' Shiesty in all-black
I was on ten when you call back
Had to think twice and you fall back
I hit a mean lick, and you was all rats
I was goin' Shiesty in all-black
I was on ten when you call back
Had to think twice and you fall back
I hit a mean lick, and you was all rats
[Chorus: Don Toliver]
I seen too many whirls tonight
Would you wanna be my girl tonight?
Know I gotta keep a them drugs 'round me
I gotta keep a couple plugs around me
I seen too many whirls tonight
Would you wanna be my girl tonight?
Know I gotta keep a them drugs 'round me
I gotta keep a couple plugs around me
I seen too many whirls tonight
Would you wanna be my girl tonight?
Know I keep a couple drugs 'round me
I gotta keep a couple plugs around me
