The soul-filled instrumental juxtaposes Carti’s depressing and somewhat near nihilistic lyrics. He’s trying to explain that although he comes across as a flamboyant, loud personality, deep down he’s yearning for love like every human, which is also mentioned in previous tracks on the album. This despair may possibly stem from his break-up with his previous lover Iggy Azalea.
The track fits outside of the ‘vamp’ inspired tracklist, presenting itself as its own entity, aimed to wrap up the album on a higher note, whilst providing the listener with an update on Carti’s mental state.
The sample used is "iMi" by Bon Iver.

The song "F33l Lik3 Dyin" by Playboi Carti expresses feelings of heartbreak, isolation, and disillusionment with love. The opening verse reveals that the singer has been in love with the wrong person for their entire life, causing them to question why they feel like dying. The chorus reinforces this feeling of despair, with the singer admitting that they feel like dying if their love interest is not reciprocated.
The second verse describes the singer's experiences with different types of girls across the world and all the knowledge they have gained from those interactions. However, their past experiences seem to be unsuccessful in helping them find true love, leading them to dwell on their mortality and the inevitability of death. The bridge speaks to the singer's determination to become a rockstar and the sacrifices that were made for them to achieve success.
Overall, the song is a reflection of the complexities of love and the toll that it can take on a person's emotions and psyche. The feeling of dying represents a hopeless state of mind where giving up seems like the only option.
