Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I just told you girlfriend to drop a pin
Let's go let's go
We been texting all day
Now I'm going for the win yeah
Every time I touch the hand
Man I tensing
We see you niggas throwing shots
But you ain't hit the rim

Now I'm diving in them blow
Like I gotta

I see bullshit from a mile away, oh
I do the best I can to keep that shit away, oh
I end up in depression when I'm thinking bout my ex
I'm living life right now but I'm always thinking next
I'm focusing on me right now, I can't even flex
I'm focusing on me right now, I can't even flex

Here's my time to shine, yeah
I love when money hit my life
If they ex I'm doing fine, yeah, yeah
I don't sign no shit if I ain't get my fair share
I was fucked up now I spin like I don't care
There to endorse me, I drink too much Belvedere
I'm fresh as hell, I can tell how they stare
But damn bullshit I can feel it in the air

I see bullshit from a mile away, oh
I do the best I can to keep that shit away, oh
I end up in depression when I'm thinking bout my ex
I'm living life right now but I'm always thinking next
I'm focusing on me right now, I can't even flex
I'm focusing on me right now, I can't even flex

Yeah...

Oh ho...

Yeah...

Overall Meaning

The song "Mile Away" by TK Kravitz is a story about a man who is head over heels in love with a girl he met via text messaging. The song starts with him telling his friend to drop a pin so they can meet up with the girl who he has been texting all day. He is determined to win her over, as he feels a positive connection every time he touches her hand. Despite the negative energy coming from his haters who are throwing shots at him, he remains undeterred and dives in headfirst, as if he has nothing to lose.

However, the chorus tells a different story. TK Kravitz is able to see the bullshit from a mile away, and he does his best to keep it away. He admits to struggling with depression when he thinks about his ex, which may hint at some unresolved emotional baggage he is carrying. Nonetheless, he is now focused on himself, living in the present moment and not worrying too much about the future or the past.

The last line of the chorus stands out, as TK Kravitz repeats the phrase "I'm focusing on me right now, I can't even flex." This indicates a journey of self-discovery and self-improvement, where he is trying to prioritize himself and his own growth above all else. The song is a reminder that it's important to keep our eyes and ears open, so we can protect ourselves from negativity and false promises and instead focus on what really matters -- our own happiness and personal growth.
