Good Person
Theodd1sout Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'm at the supermarket
Gon' cop some rhubarb
I reach into my pocket
It's time to get charged
I pay in cash, and I know what happens next is strange
I flash a stunning smile and say
"You can keep the change"
Oh, what
Oh yeah, I'm a good person
You can have that money (it's yours)
And also coins are uncomfortable in my pockets, uh

Sitting by my computer
Mom comes inside the lair
"It's smelling like a sewer
You should go and get some air"
I'm gettin' up, and stretch, I'm filling up with pride
I open up the door and put a single foot outside
Oh, what
Oh yeah, I'm a good person
I leave my house (so healthy)
I'm gonna put my foot back inside of my house now, uh

My lifestyle's quite unhealthy
I snacked recording this
Got an expanding belly
Can't find a shirt that fits
Roll my chair to the kitchen, fill my snack bowl to the brim
Yeah, I know that might look bad, but then I sign up for a gym
Oh, what
Oh yeah, I'm a good person
I'm a gym member (gon' get ripped)
And I will go there sometime, I just haven't decided on a date yet, uh

I'm chilling out in class
My teacher's such a jerk
And suddenly he asks
"Where is your homework"
All my friends in panic, "no was that today??"
I slap mine on the desk and say "I'm gonna get an A plus"
Oh, what
Oh yeah, I'm a good person
I do my homework (model student)
Turns out I plagiarized and now I'm in detention, uh (sad, whiny uh)

My mom is back again
"Can you take out the trash?"
Her mind was blown right then
"I did it before you asked"
Oh, what
Oh yeah, I'm a good person
I do my chores (for mommy)
Couldn't find a trashcan so I dumped it in the ocean, uh

It's just a regular day
Or is it, grandma?
No, someone's changin' age and
it isn't grandpa
Other grandsons may just write on Facebook walls
But I am grandmas special boy, so I am gonna call
Oh, what
Oh yeah, I'm a good person
I remember birthdays (for example February 7th)
You better think of me when you're drafting up your will

I'm hanging out with Quinston
He is the coolest guy
Got 30k on Insta'
Always wears suit and tie
I tell him 'bout how good I am, but he says
"Bro, the people who are really good don't brag about it though"
what? You're saying bragging about the nice things you've done misses the whole point
Of doing nice things in the first place?
Oh, what
Oh yeah, I'm a good person




I don't brag ever (never did)
Now please excuse me while I go delete my Twitter, uh

Overall Meaning

The song "Good Person" by TheOdd1sOut is a humorous take on what it means to be a good person. The song features instances of the artist displaying good behavior, such as paying extra at the supermarket, leaving the house for fresh air, going to the gym, doing homework, taking out the trash for his mother, remembering birthdays, and not bragging about his actions. However, the song also has a dose of self-deprecation, as the artist admits to snacking, having an expanding belly, and dumping trash into the ocean.


The song's comedic tone and use of exaggerated situations make light of what society considers to be good behavior. It pokes fun at the idea that performing everyday actions somehow makes one a good person. It also highlights the flawed nature of people by implying that good actions can be negated by bad actions.
