Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
All them sparkles
It ain't me
I am givin' what I can
What I can
Things that I may tell you
Honey, I ain't lyin'
All this talkin' is how I feel
How I feel
I'm not asking for the world
I just want to be an ordinary girl
Might not be all you want
But it's all you get, it's me
On them shiny pages
All that hairdo
It ain't me
I am showing just what I am
What I am
These lyrics from S.L.A.C.K. & CES2's song "It's Me" convey the artist's rejection of the glamorous and fake persona that is often portrayed in mainstream media. The opening lines "What you see on t.v, all them sparkles, it ain't me" suggest that the artist understands that the glamorous lifestyle portrayed in media is not for everyone and certainly not for them. They then say "I am givin' what I can, what I can," suggesting that what they have to offer the world is their authentic self, not the fake and glittering persona portrayed in media.
The lyrics "I'm not asking for the world, I just want to be an ordinary girl, might not be all you want, but it's all you get, it's me" conveys that the artist is not interested in fame but just wants to be accepted for who they are. They acknowledge that they may not be what others want, but they are happy to be themselves, and that is all that they can offer.
