for the people in the back
Role Model Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

The volume won't go any higher

I'ma have to speak this, like I mean this
There's some people who gon' need this, leave 'em speechless
Yeah, I made it through the three, six, five, deep shit
They start asking for some free shit and I'ma leave quick
Funny how some people change up when you change up
Same girls that used to hang up, tryna hang out
If you thought that we would make up, you gon' break down
You can hit me when you wake up, I don't play around

I don't need
No, no, nobody

I'm so over conversations where they say shit just to say it
And they give some just to take it
Just to leave you in the basement
I don't like it, I don't need it
Take your number and delete it
'Cause I'm better on my own and there's no other way to see it
All the bouncers in the club can suck a dick, I've had enough
And all dudes who acting tough could use some help on how to love
I found a place to be myself
And there's not room for no one else

I don't need
No, no, nobody
I don't need
No (I don't need)
No (I don't need)
Nobody (no)

So, don't come find me when you feel broken
Finally I'm floating, I'm fine by myself (fine by myself)
And don't come any closer, I'm thriving
And I just decided I'm fine by myself
So I'ma have to speak this like I mean this
There's some people who gon' need this
Leave 'em speechless
Yeah, I made it through the three, six, five, deep shit
Bet they're hoping I'll delete this, that's some weak shit

I don't need (no)
I don't need (no)
I don't need (nobody, ooh)
I don't need (no)




I don't need (no)
I don't need (nobody)

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Role Model's "For the People in the Back" encapsulate the artist's frustration with disingenuous relationships and the importance of self-reliance. The opening lines, "The volume won't go any higher/ I'ma have to speak this, like I mean this," suggest that the singer has something important to say that others aren't hearing or understanding. The next lines state that some people will "need" the message, implying that it may be difficult to hear but ultimately necessary for personal growth.


The following lines allude to the singer's personal journey through difficult times ("I made it through the three, six, five, deep shit"), during which some people who were once supportive seemed to turn against him ("Funny how some people change up when you change up"). Despite this, the singer declares that he doesn't need anyone's validation or support: "I don't need no, no, nobody." He's tired of surface-level conversations and transactions ("they give some just to take it") and wants to surround himself only with meaningful connections.


The repeated refrain "I don't need" emphasizes the idea of independence and self-sufficiency. The singer has "found a place to be myself," and doesn't want anyone else to encroach on that space. The lines "And don't come any closer, I'm thriving/ And I just decided I'm fine by myself" suggest that the singer has concluded that he's better off with just himself, and doesn't want to risk being hurt by anyone else. The final lines emphasize the strength and conviction of the singer's message: "Bet they're hoping I'll delete this, that's some weak shit."


Overall, the lyrics to "For the People in the Back" convey a powerful message about self-worth and the importance of cultivating genuine connections. The singer recognizes that not everyone will understand or support this message, but is determined to speak his truth regardless.

Just to leave you in the basement

Take your number and delete it
‘Cause I’m better on my own
And there’s no other way to see it
All the bouncers in the club
