For What It's Worth
Njomza Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I tried to fall in love, she ended up getting hurt
These people sell their souls for a Versace shirt
I just wanna live for what's fuckin worth
In Njomza's song "For What It's Worth," the lyrics depict a certain level of frustration and disillusionment with societal norms and expectations. The artist tries to fit into the mold of what is considered "normal," but realizes that it doesn't work for her. She also tries to fall in love, but the relationship ends in heartbreak. Njomza then comments on the materialistic values of society, where people are willing to sell their souls for material possessions like a Versace shirt.
The artist then expresses her desire to live a life that is worth something, perhaps not in terms of material possessions or societal norms, but in terms of something that truly matters. This sentiment is relatable to many who have felt jaded by the pressures and expectations of society and have longed for something more meaningful. Through her lyrics, Njomza encourages listeners to question these societal values and prioritize what truly brings value and meaning to their lives.

[Chorus: FKi 1st & Njomza]
I tried to be normal, but that shit ain't work
I tried to fall in love, she end up gettin' hurt
These people sell their soul for a Versace shirt
I just want to live for what it's fuckin' worth
I cannot be rich and still stay down to earth
They say, if you work you get what you deserve
Please don't complain, but it could be worse
I just want to live for what it's fuckin' worth
Before I reach that hearse
[Verse 1: FKi 1st]
The dirt is where my feet at
Everybody ask where I be at
Where the blunt, where the smoke, where the lean at
(I don't know)
Bruh, I'm on that ATL in 3 [?] (I, I'm geeked)
See I ain't got no time for this party (No time, not time)
We tryna swap out these Nissans for Ferraris (Ferra, Ferra)
I'd rather buy 10 houses than some Buggatis (Skrt, skrt)
I'm tryna make a check then learn some karate, just watch me
I'm still walkin' around with the [?]
Throw a bitch around me I get the pig (I got it)
I'm tryna keep my candle lit
My son in LA go kid (He need it)
Every month his shirt don't fit and his kicks don't fit
But they gotta get fed
Hey, woah, next time a nigga sleep prolly when a nigga dead
[Chorus: FKi 1st & Njomza]
