Problems & Selfless
Partynextdoor Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Two beautiful women arguing over me
Oh, I hope my son has these problems
Why do these things happen so often?
Yeah, I wonder
This is how it's gonna be
Two beautiful women claiming that they love me
Girl, tell me, is it 'cause I showed you how to be the best you?
(Bless you, thank you mama)
Thank you mama
I got two beautiful women arguing over me
Is this how it's gonna be?
Problems, I hope my son has these problems

Can I ask you crazy girls a question?
Why so selfish when niggas only good to you
'Cause if I don't love you why don't you want no one lovin' me baby
Don't you want to see me happy babe?
Why are you telling lies on my name?

Tell me, tell me, tell me, tell me, babe, why be so selfish
What did I do to you
Selfish, selfless
I stay quiet for ya
You'd kill a bitch for me and blame it on love
You would kill yourself, O.D. and then blame it on love
You would do it on yourself, they can blame it on us
And I stay quiet for ya
Selfless
You got me out here looking crazy




Selfless
They think I'm selfish but I'm selfless

Ditiro Motene

Gabriel Tee

Chris Harmon

Agreed

Legion’s Dad

I love this song so much. The production is crazy. When he says "Is this how it's gonna be.." and the vibe of this song momentarily always weirdly reminded me of En Vouge - Don't Let Go even thought they say "What's it gonna be..."

Ty you too

Weird but this album came out about the same time my great aunt/mom passed away and I played this song over and over and over and over again... I guess the melody and my drugs n alcohol kept me in tears.... But Everytime I play it I get in my feelings 😔

Legion’s Dad

Wow it's crazy you say that because this was one of six albums I had in my truck with no aux. But I played P3 almost every day and this song, Joy, 1942, and Nothing Easy to Please I played over and over when my grandma died. The lyrics don't relate to this situation but like you said I it was the beat, melody and PND's voice that made those songs vibes for what I was going through. Rest in peace to your aunt/mom
