Loser
Numi Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Back then, no friends, I was a loner
Would look within, lived life a thinker
Desired genuine connection
While they judged other′s imperfections

Hoo, hoo
She saw me hanging by myself
Hoo, hoo
He show me hanging by myself
I do what feels right even if I look a way
Now I'm a loser
I′ve lost my credibility

(Uh)
Loser is not a look it's a mentality
I'm about real friendship
I′m ′bout loyalty
They might call you loser
'Cause you′re in you own space
But many of those people are afraid and play it safe

Loser is not a look it's a mentality
Lots of cool people without a following
Rather be alone then have poor company
Loser is not a look it′s a mentality

Some say
You are what you attract
Then how you explain, all of the bad?
Some beautiful people out here get dirt
Some beautiful people are here get hurt

I think it's more about who you keep around
Some things
Take longer to come around, so
I stay focus on me (me, me)
Yeah
The real ones they gon′ see, (see, see)
Yeah

Hoo, hoo
She saw me hanging by myself
Hoo, hoo
He show me hanging by myself
I do what feels right even if I look a way
Now I'm a loser
I've lost my credibility

(Uh)
Loser is not a look it′s a mentality
I′m about real friendship
I'm ′bout loyalty
They might call you loser
'Cause you′re in you own space
But many of those people are afraid and play it safe

Loser is not a look it's a mentality
Lots of cool people without a following
Rather be alone then have poor company
Loser is not a look it′s a mentality

Loser is not a look it's a mentality
Loser is not a look it's a mentality
Loser is not a look it′s a mentality
Loser is not a look (look, look)

Yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah




Yeah, yeah
Yeah
