NOT FAIR
The Kid Laroi Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I don't know her but she saying that she miss me
Rolling with that .450
Why they wanna send me under fucking six feet?
I cope how they want, yeah, I keep the safe off
Never out in public 'cause they talk
Got a taste, car shell shocked
Drive me to hell in a drop top
Uh, drive me to hell in a drop top
I need you to save me 'fore I fuck up and go too far
I hate that you blame me for the things that I can not control
I'm out here trying to make it work for us
It's too much on my plate
Got it all at stake
Say you hate me now, but you're at my place
Tell me lies, tell me that it's all okay
Tell me why you love me even if it's fake?
It's not fair
No matter what, I'm still gon' be here
It's hard for me to show you I care
Crash and burn Princess Diana
Better off, better off dead
You don't wanna come around here
It's hard for me to show you I care
Don't wanna be myself I'm too scared
Yeah, yeah, I'm too scared
Even if it isn't real, I wanna hear it
Pour my heart out on the floor and now it's leaking
Spent two thousand on an F.N
Man, don't make me squeeze it (please don't make me squeeze it)
I don't care if it was all pretend I wanna feel it
M.O.B 'cause if I lose it all, you leaving (oh, yeah)
Bitch you don't love me, that's a lie, I don't believe it
Money make these bitches go insane, yeah, I done seen it
I don't wanna hear it anymore if you don't mean it
Don't wanna fall too deep
Trust issues, it's too hard to give you all of me
Love isn't what you see or what you want it to be
I want you but I just can't give you all of me
It's not fair
No matter what I'm still gon' be here
It's hard for me to show you I care
Crash and burn Princess Diana
Better off, better off dead
You don't wanna come around here
It's hard for me to show you I care
Don't wanna be myself I'm too scared
Yeah, yeah, I'm too scared
The lyrics to The Kid LAROI's song "Not Fair" express feelings of emotional turmoil and the struggles that come with trying to maintain a relationship despite personal issues. The opening lines set the tone for the song, as the artist mentions that he can only reach sexual satisfaction if his partner kisses him. This could be interpreted as a metaphor for needing emotional connection in order to feel fulfilled. He goes on to mention a woman who claims to miss him, even though he doesn't know her. This highlights the fact that he may feel lonely and craves attention despite not truly connecting with others.
The next set of lyrics refer to being armed with a .450 gun, which could symbolize being ready to defend himself physically and emotionally. The artist also mentions feeling like others are trying to put him in a grave, further emphasizing the emotional weight he is carrying. He juxtaposes this feeling with wanting to drive in a drop-top car, which could symbolize a desire for escape or freedom.
The chorus expresses the struggle that the artist is experiencing in trying to maintain a relationship. He wants to make it work, but he has too much on his plate and feels as though he can't show his partner how much he cares. He references Princess Diana, who died tragically in a car crash, as a metaphor for how it feels like everything is crashing down around him. The artist ends the song by admitting that he is too scared to be himself and give someone his all, indicating that he may have trust issues and is afraid of being vulnerable.
