I'm Good
Retro Pak Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You're no hero
So don't act like it
And please don't treat me
Like i'm yo sidekick
Cause I watch T.V
I see how life is
And it's not easy
But still I'm right here
Screamin'
I'm good, I'm good, I'm good, I'm good
Yeah
My nigga
I'm good, I'm good, I'm good, I'm good

You're no hero
So don't act like it
And please don't treat me
Like i'm yo sidekick
Cause I watch T.V
I see how life is
And it's not easy
But still I'm right here
Screamin'
I'm good, I'm good, Yeah
My nigga

I'm good, I'm good, Yeah

Coming up to me
Like "you still making music, man?"
Ask them kind questions
Shouldn't even shake your hand
Though you were the homie
Still don't know me
It's so ever damn
2 Million fucking views
And growing
Follow my accomplishments
I mean
Cause I do work my ass off
Back up in the game
Like my vocals got the cast off
All I've been is cast off
By those who seem to lack heart
Tryna give the world some hope
So through the dark
I'll cast art
Hoping life's the way
Brightens your yesterday
Life's been dark
And y'all can see I've had a lot to say
Few friends have been supportive
You can tell by how I word it
So being round that energy
I feel I can afford it
Talking bout I need direction
Samba where is yours
I've had mine
And it's the only thing
That I've been working toward
And I built it from the floor

Y'all don't seem to help no more

See it's hard to movement
Cause the internet's what opened door

You're no hero
So don't act like it
And please don't treat me
Like i'm yo sidekick
Cause I watch T.V
I see how life is
And it's not easy

But still I'm right here
Screamin'

I'm good, I'm good, Yeah
My nigga
I'm good, I'm good, Yeah

What I mean to say
Is y'all ain't been about the dream
Even back in highschool
Y'all weren't really bout the team
To those who were
You know I know
And your support means everything
Bout to prove
Come from anywhere
And become anything
That you can take whatever you love
And make it everything
What part is bigger than us
We made it everything
And you know
It's because I wear my word
Like a wedding ring
Sticking to my cray
Put honesty above everything
Cause, I ain't been perfect
But at least I got a purpose
Rising stars in my contact list
We hit beats and we merk shit
Conversation with the greatest
Can't wait to say I made it
Shouts to those who say
I helped them get through hard times
You my favourite

Shouts to channels that upload me
And the haters that can blow me
And shouts out to a world

Insists of you won't seek control me
Blogs that show me love
And friends who love what we does
Everyone who sees us hitting the before it comes

You're no hero
So don't act like it
And please don't treat me

Like i'm yo sidekick
Cause I watch T.V
I see how life is
And it's not easy

But still I'm right here
Screamin'
I'm good, I'm good, Yeah
My nigga
I'm good, I'm good, Yeah

You're no hero
So don't act like it
And please don't treat me
Like i'm yo sidekick
Cause I watch T.V
I see how life is
And it's not easy




But still I'm right here
Screamin' I'm good

Overall Meaning

The song "I'm Good" by Retro Pak is a powerful assertion of the artist's independence and determination. The lyrics are a message to all those who would underestimate and undervalue them, insisting that they are capable and thriving despite any adversity they may face. The chorus repeats the phrase "I'm good" four times to emphasize this point, suggesting that the artist's self-assurance is unshakeable.


This confidence is tempered by an awareness of the difficulties of life, as expressed in lines like "I see how life is / And it's not easy." The artist acknowledges that their success has not come easily and that they have faced resistance from others who lack the drive and passion they possess. Nevertheless, they remain committed to their goals, refusing to be held back by those who doubt them.


The language of the song is powerful and blunt, using words like "nigga" and "blow me" to confront the listener and make them take notice of the artist's message. The repetition of certain phrases, such as "You're no hero / So don't act like it," creates a sense of urgency and insistence that reinforces the idea that the artist is not to be underestimated.

Red Label Asylum

🙏🏽🙏🏽💯💯 I really appreciate it. Honestly it means a lot to have this up. This is not the official version also check out Abstract he did the original version. Sincerely Retro Pak

Red Label Asylum

Remy E Hernandez I just sent it over to you.

Red Label Asylum

Abstract I don’t have a claim on anything to do with I’m Good I’m not sure why and how this keeps happing as I have stated in the comments above i do not own the rights to the song nor have I had a claim on them. So I’m not sure how and why this is happening. I have contacted TuneCore who it says the claim is through and I don’t have a song up with them.

Abstract

Hey Red Label Asylum, not sure how else to contact you. I'm getting reports that Tunecore/Red Label Asylum are claiming my version of I'm Good on youtubers videos. Needless to say your agreement should not be encompassing mine, also you leased the beat, I bought it and regardless the timeframe for your lease has expired. Hoping to not take further action and would appreciate you ceasing to claim my song and contact Tunecore to make the necessary adjustments.Thank you.

Red Label Asylum

EricXLan funny thing is I didn’t copyright anything thank you very much. I bought the beat done the song and after I released It I was notified that beat was also sold to Abstract which I clearly stated in the comment above.
