Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Shawty wanna love but she scared of getting hurt
Calling me daddy but scared I'mma leave
You been let down that don't mean I'll do the same
But You don't trust men because you got daddy issues
Daddy Issues daddy issues
Daddy Issues you got daddy issues
Daddy Issues daddy issues
Daddy Issues you got daddy issues
Met this Hun a while ago and I knew she gonn be mine
I said baby get closer I wanna know where you from
'Cause I'm loving what I see I wanna know the person too
Then we went and got ourselves a fucken table for two
Took a shot and I got to know the person that she is
Listening to every word and the feeling she conveyed
When the whole day ended we were already a vibe
Then we started with the dating we were hooking everyday
Shared our trauma and a tear and a smile everyday
I was mad and disappointed when I started finding out
That you still don't trust me after everything we did
Painting all men with the same brush what the hell
Now I'm reaching out to you hoping we still got a shot
If I'm gonna quit on you I'll never go without a fight
If it ain't gonna work it's a risk I'm gonna take
If you not good for me then I'mma make you mistake
Shawty wanna love but she scared of getting hurt
Calling me daddy but scared I'mma leave
You been let down that don't mean I'll do the same
But You don't trust men because you got daddy issues
Daddy Issues daddy issues
Daddy Issues you got daddy issues
Daddy Issues daddy issues
Daddy Issues you got daddy issues
Maybe there's a reason why we settle for the broken girls
'Cause she broken and you broken maybe its a trauma bond
Or this thing of being a hero tryna be the superman
Or maybe it's another thing I been thinking of
You ain't got no game so you settling for less
That is why you got no problem fucking the low hanging fruits
It's like tryna save a person who's already been dead
Don't save her she don't wanna be saved
If I don't get your prime you ain't getting my prime
I ain't really being a jerk I'm just being accountable
I am only gonna try if you worth fighting for
Yall fuck around a lot then look for somebody to blame
You be letting social media fucking run your lives
Going out to Live a lie and then you claim to be depressed
You ain't got no demon it's your 90 body count
'Cause you learn your STD's before your ABC
Shawty wanna love but she scared of getting hurt
Calling me daddy but scared I'mma leave
You been let down that don't mean I'll do the same
But You don't trust men because you got daddy issues
Daddy Issues daddy issues
Daddy Issues you got daddy issues




Daddy Issues daddy issues
Daddy Issues you got daddy issues

Overall Meaning

In "Issues" by RY-man, the lyrics explore the complex dynamics of a relationship where one person harbors trust issues due to a difficult relationship with their father. The song begins with the contradictory desires of the woman, as she desires love but is afraid of being hurt. She calls the singer "daddy," potentially due to a need for comfort and stability, but is also scared that he will eventually leave her, mirroring the abandonment she may have experienced with her father.


The singer reassures her that his actions won't replicate the letdowns she has faced in the past, emphasizing that just because she has been disappointed before does not mean he will do the same. However, despite their shared experiences and the connection they develop, she still struggles to fully trust him. The frustration becomes evident when the singer mentions that she paints all men with the same brush, unable to differentiate between individual intentions and actions.


In the second verse, the lyrics venture into the theme of brokenness and the motivation behind settling for certain partners. The suggestion is made that both individuals may be attracted to each other's brokenness due to a shared trauma bond or an innate desire to be the hero and attempt to fix the other person. Additionally, the lyrics touch upon the idea of settling for less when someone feels they have no game, resulting in engaging with individuals who may not be the best fit.


The song also points out the influence of social media in relationships, criticizing the tendency to compare oneself to others and pursue false appearances. It acknowledges the tendency to engage in reckless behavior and then search for a scapegoat or someone to blame. Furthermore, it highlights the superficiality of using body count or sexual health as a measure of worth or personal demons.


Overall, "Issues" delves into the complexities of trust, past experiences, and the lasting impact of father figures on relationships.
