I Don't Mind

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I don't mind
I don't mind
I don't mind
Bottom line, Bottom line
Most days I'm getting on myself
I need a manager
I'm paralyzed, nobody can see
That all the work I do, it's always free
Everybody wants something from me
When did I become the life of the party
I'm spilling out my guts just be seen
but somedays I just want the fuckin money
(I don't mind, I don't mind)
That you don't know my name
(I don't mind, I don't mind)
I know those days will change
(I don't mind, I don't mind)
Manifesting my big break
(Bottom line, Bottom line)
Making no damn mistake
If you choose to pass on me
you see that exit sign that's where you'll stay
I don't got time to play no games
I'm not sorry, I'm just doin me
I know the stakes are high
Like I know that my odds are low
I'll KO, in any fight
Never losing, is my MO
And you might think I'm crazy
cause my future my baby
I need stacks, like its raining
I need my full compensation
It's hard to not hate yourself
When everyones doing well
Their all selling their bodies
And wearing nothing but tommies
So how the fuck do I make it?
Am I supposed to get naked?

The song "I Don't Mind" by River Hooks touches on themes of self-worth, the struggles of the music industry, and the pressure to conform to societal expectations. The repetition of the phrase "I don't mind" throughout the song signifies a sense of resilience and determination despite the challenges faced.
The opening lines express a sense of frustration and the need for assistance. The singer acknowledges the need for a manager and help while feeling overwhelmed and paralyzed by their circumstances. They feel invisible despite working tirelessly, highlighting the injustice of their work going unrecognized or uncompensated.
The verse "Everybody wants something from me, when did I become the life of the party" reflects the burden of being constantly in demand and the pressure to always entertain. The singer feels as though they have to expose their innermost thoughts and emotions just to be noticed, but there are days when they simply desire financial security rather than attention.
The chorus reiterates the singer's detachment from personal validation and their understanding that people may not know their name or recognize their worth. However, the confident assertion that "those days will change" indicates that they believe in their own potential and are manifesting their destiny to achieve a big break. The phrase "bottom line" emphasizes their determination and refusal to make any mistakes on their journey.
The second verse delves into the struggle of comparing oneself to others who seem to be thriving and financially benefiting from selling their bodies or conforming to societal norms. The singer questions how they can succeed without compromising their values or exploiting themselves. They reject the notion that they have to follow the same path, emphasizing that they will not surrender to temptation or compromise their integrity.
The repetition of the chorus reinforces the resolve to not be affected by the opinions of others and to stay true to themselves. The mention of the exit sign for those who choose to pass on them symbolizes the idea that those who underestimate or dismiss them will ultimately be left behind.
Overall, "I Don't Mind" captures the struggles and aspirations of an artist seeking recognition and success while grappling with societal pressures and the temptation to compromise their values. It is a rallying cry for self-belief, resilience, and remaining authentic in the face of adversity.

It's hard to not hate yourself
It is challenging to not despise oneself
When everyone's doing well
While everyone else is succeeding
They're all selling their bodies
They are all sacrificing their integrity
And wearing nothing but tommies
And only caring about material possessions
So how the fuck do I make it?
So how on earth do I succeed?
Am I supposed to get naked?
Should I compromise my values?

Like a river, like a river, sh-
Like a river, like a river, sh-
Like a river, like a river
Shut your mouth and run me like a river
How do you fall in love?
Harder than a bullet could hit you
How do we fall apart?
Faster than a hairpin trigger
Don't you say, don't you say it
Don't say, don't you say it
One breath, it'll just break it
So shut your mouth and run me like a river
Shut your mouth, baby, stand and deliver
Holy hands, will they make me a sinner?
Like a river, like a river
Shut your mouth and run me like a river
Choke this love 'til the veins start to shiver
One last breath 'til the tears start to wither
Like a river, like a river
Shut your mouth and run me like a river
Tales of an endless heart
Cursed is the fool who's willing
Can't change the way we are
One kiss away from killing
Don't you say, don't you say it
Don't say, don't you say it
One breath, it'll just break it
So shut your mouth and run me like a river
Shut your mouth, baby, stand and deliver
Holy hands, will they make me a sinner?
Like a river, like a river
Shut your mouth and run me like a river
Choke this love 'til the veins start to shiver
One last breath 'til the tears start to wither
Like a river, like a river
Shut your mouth and run me like a river
Like a river, like a river, sh-
Like a river, like a river, sh-
Like a river, like a river
Shut your mouth and run me like a river
Hey! Oh, oh-oh-oh, oh!
Hey! Oh, oh-oh-oh, oh! (like a river)
Hey! Oh, oh-oh-oh, oh, oh!
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh! (like a river)
Like a river
Shut your mouth, baby, stand and deliver (like a river, like a river)
Holy hands, will they make me a sinner? (like a river, like a river)
Like a river, like a river
Shut your mouth and run me like a river
Choke this love 'til the veins start to shiver (like a river, like a river)
One last breath 'til the tears start to wither (like a river, like a river)
Like a river, like a river
Shut your mouth and run me like a river

This song represented finding true love in myself. “How do we fall in love?” “How do we fall apart”
those intricacies that make each of us beautiful and unique.
the song begins with “like a river”
what is like a river? ☀️God☀️
shut your mouth 🧘♀️Psalm 46:10 be still, and know that I am God
Our words have impact And PoWer! I am God literally means just that. As humans we just try to over complicate things. The answers are sitting right in front of our faces but we are too busy worshipping false idols, “false gods”. We are the true miracles!
“one kiss away from killing”
We are all sinners and fall short. Not one single person walking this earth can sit on a high horse.
STAND AND DELIVER
Deliver your testimony of all the good things that LOVE has done in your life.
God=love
❤❤❤
