I Was Wrong
The B.H.D Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

They tried to play me
They tried to take my soul
Remember all them nights when I was down
Remember all them nights when I was down
Ain't even had no dollar to my name
Say would you ride if I was broke
If I was hopping out the fence
And I didn't drive a benz
Would you ride if I was broke
If I was really on my last and I'm sleeping on the stairs
Would you ride if I was broke
I seen my Nigga tried to frame me
How you Finna blame me
We use to hustle to survive now I found a newer way
Wrap a hundred bands and I locked it in the safe
I used to hustle to survive now I found a newer way
Load up the pencil with the lead so I scribble down my fears
Remember all them nights when I was running from the feds
I'm counting up this bread I been hanging with the dead's
I used to hustle to survive now I found a newer way
My homies switching sides you think that he got bad hips
Might fuck that ratchet bitch then put her on a private
Two things that I love and that's money and diamonds
Hopping out the coup
Caught that Nigga lacking I was bout to make a move
Pull up to the side like Nigga what it do
Let that chopper sing like it's a choir in the room
Feds did a sweep just like a broom
That shit was earlier afternoon
Got niggas jumping out the room
It's gon take some getting used to
I got some racks up in my jeans I been serving to the fiends
Nigga it's gon take some getting used
Say would you ride if I was broke
If I was hopping out the fence
And I didn't drive a benz
Would you ride if I was broke
If I was really on my last and I'm sleeping on the stairs
Would you ride if I was broke




I seen my Nigga tried to frame me
How you Finna blame me

Overall Meaning

The B.H.D's "I Was Wrong" is a song that reflects on the struggles of the artist's life and his stark realization of the truth about his so-called friends. The first line, "They tried to play me, They tried to take my soul" reveals how the artist's friends betrayed him for their own gain. This betrayal made him question all those nights when he was struggling and broke, and no one was there to support him. He is asking if they'd still be around if he were still broke, needed help, or if he was not riding a Benz.


The lyrics continue to show how the artist found a "newer way" to survive by "wrapping a hundred bands and locking it in the safe", implying that he found a new hustle that made him wealthy. However, even with "money and diamonds", the artist finds himself in the company of dead or treacherous friends. He questions the loyalty of his friend who framed him, indicating he and his friends did whatever it takes to make money, even if it means betraying each other or serving fiends.


Overall, the song expresses the artist's realization that his friends were not loyal and that he has moved on from his struggles. The song's title, "I Was Wrong," shows that the artist acknowledges his mistakes and wants to grow from them.

Repeat of earlier lines questioning if someone would remain loyal if I were poor and experiencing hardship, and complaining about being accused of a crime I didn't commit.
