Believe It
PARTYNEXTDOOR Lyrics

Bae
Addressing their significant other

Best make me believe it (best make me be')
You need to work hard to convince me, be genuine

Best make me believe it
Emphasizing the need to be trustworthy and honest in the relationship

Believe you won't deceive me
The main concern is not being lied to or manipulated

Hey
An exclamation or greeting to get attention

First you gotta forgive me
Admitting wrongdoing and asking for forgiveness before moving forward

Let me know everything gon' be okay
Asking for reassurance and confirmation that things will be alright

Even if I come out with everything I did
Preemptively revealing past mistakes to their partner

Would you still punish me even though I did a long time ago?
Asking if their partner can forgive and forget past mistakes

If so, let me know
Seeking clarity and an open line of communication

If I propose, would you say no?
Thinking about the future of the relationship and potential marriage

Would you break my heart?
Wondering if their partner would cheat or hurt them emotionally

Would you embarrass me or play your part?
Questioning if their partner is genuinely invested in the relationship

Baby, don't fold, my heart is yours
Encouraging their partner to stay committed and not give up on the relationship

You got the power, pussy power
Acknowledging their partner's sexual power and control in the relationship

The floor is yours, the time is ours
Giving their partner freedom and agency in the relationship

Either believe me or you don't
Stating the importance of trust and honesty in the relationship

Choose to believe me or you won't
Leaving the decision to trust or not up to their partner

If you leave me, I'm skull and bones, I'm dead, baby
Stating the severity and devastation of a potential breakup

You told me
Referring to something their partner said previously

You told me that you'd kill me if I fuck up (fuck up)
Recalling a threatening statement made by their partner

You told me I'm a lucky motherfucker (lucky motherfucker)
Remembering a previous compliment from their partner

You love 'em, but you never ever trust 'em
Commenting on the complications of love and trust in relationships

Never ever trust me, no (trust me, no)
Acknowledging potential trust issues in their own relationship

There's three sides to the story
Recognizing that multiple perspectives exist in any situation

And that girl got a good PR (good PR)
Implying that someone else is trying to manipulate the situation for their own gain

I knew we'd never make it far
Having doubts about the longevity of the relationship

Because I like my bitches black and mama tar
Making a potentially controversial comment about personal preferences

Tell me you love me 'cause I know they won't
Seeking reassurance in the relationship due to external factors

They wanna fit in for the photoshoot
Suggesting that others are more concerned with appearances than genuine emotions

Put them aside, baby, I notice you
Acknowledging their partner's importance and worth in the relationship

My niggas hype, baby, they hypin' you
Reinforcing their partner's popularity and desirability

My family like you, yeah, they likin' you
Bringing up the opinions of loved ones and their approval of the relationship

My mama WhatsApp and she Skype you
Highlighting communication between their partner and their mother

She wanna know why didn't you say, "Either way?"
Mentioning a conversation between their partner and their mother, questioning their lack of clarity

Best make me believe it
Reiterating the importance of trust and honesty in the relationship

Believe you won't deceive me
Emphasizing the need for their partner to be truthful and genuine
