OT Greens Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I leave your problems in the past, but you still bringing up mine
I been feeling really down, you don't care if I'm fine
And I can't stop thinking bout the times that you were mine
So I got to keep going don't look at the past
Fuck all of these hoes I ain't going back
I leave your problems in the past, but you still bringing up mine
I been feeling really down, you don't care if I'm fine
And I can't stop thinking bout the times that you were mine

So I got to keep going don't look at the past
Fuck all of these hoes I ain't going back
Please leave me alone I ain't going back
I know that I had enough of that
I know I made some mistakes on the way
I know these bitches they just come to play
I'm looking back I remember the days
I remember you said you would stay
Now I'm pouring my pain down the drain
Fuck all your feelings bitch get out the way
One shot, then I run it right back
Chill with my homies we stay on the block
Two shots, now I do it again
She hit me up and she asking me when
Don't give a fuck all I need is my friends
I'm gonna go and count the M's
I'm gonna be here till the end
I leave your problems in the past, but you still bringing up mine
I been feeling really down, you don't care if I'm fine
And I can't stop thinking bout the times that you were mine
So I got to keep going don't look at the past
Fuck all of these hoes I ain't going back
I leave your problems in the past, but you still bringing up mine
I been feeling really down, you don't care if I'm fine
And I can't stop thinking bout the times that you were mine

So I got to keep going don't look at the past
Fuck all of these hoes I ain't going back

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of OT Greens's song "PROBLEMS" convey a sense of personal introspection and reflection on past relationships and emotional struggles. The singer expresses a strong desire to move forward and leave behind the baggage of past problems and conflicts. Despite their efforts to distance themselves from these issues, they feel trapped in a cycle where the other person keeps bringing up their own problems, while showing a lack of concern for the singer's well-being. This lack of reciprocity in care and empathy weighs heavily on the singer, who admits to feeling down and overlooked.

The mention of reminiscing about the times when the other person was still in their life highlights a sense of longing and nostalgia. Despite the pain and hurt caused by the past, there is a lingering attachment to the memories and emotions associated with that time. The singer acknowledges the need to keep moving forward and not dwell on what once was, emphasizing the importance of focusing on the present and the future rather than being consumed by the past.

The lyrics also touch upon themes of self-worth and standing up for oneself. The singer asserts their independence and declares a refusal to return to negative patterns or toxic relationships represented by "all of these hoes." This defiance signifies a newfound strength and determination to prioritize their own well-being and happiness over being dragged back into unhealthy dynamics. The repetition of "I ain't going back" serves as a powerful declaration of self-preservation and growth.

As the song progresses, the singer reflects on the mistakes they've made along the way and acknowledges the transient nature of some relationships, referring to certain individuals as merely playing games. Despite the pain, the singer finds solace in the support of friends and the pursuit of personal success, symbolized by counting the "M's" and committing to being present until the end. The repeated refrain underscores a sense of resilience and determination to leave behind the past and embrace a brighter future, free from the burdens of unresolved problems and unreciprocated emotions.
