Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Lil' 14, yeah
You used to say you in love
I used to say that shit back
Takin' that shit from the heart
Now look, where the fuck are we at?
Girl, you got me just goin' out bad
Lookin' like you had a past
I was hopin' that shit was gon' last, oh
Shawty, I just want your love for a minute
I be captain, baby, you can be lieutenant
Swear I lose my mind every time that I'm in it
You won't get a dime, naw, naw, not mine
Spinach, spinach
I been here for a minute, minute, ayy
Playin' games with me shawty
This is not no scrimmage, scrimmage
Swear that I did it, did it
I do it, I does this, I does it
Ayy, shout-out my bloody, my whoadie
Lil' nigga, and shout out my bousins, woah
I swear I'm bloodied up B's
Never throwin' up, C's
Ayy, these niggas is disgustin'
Somethin' like a disease
Your bitch pussy nasty as fuck
She got a lil' bit of yeast
Gettin all the money, count it up
Countin' all my green, woah-ayy
Girl, you got me goin' out bad
Girl, you got me real sad
Devil in me make me mad
You used to say you in love, yeah, hey

Shawty, I don't need you anyway
I just sit back in my Balenciaga's
Sippin' that lemonade
Mixin' it with Hennessy

The opening lines of "Love Scars" are both catchy and direct in meaning. Trippie Redd starts by introducing himself as Lil 14, which helps to enhance his brand as a rapper. He then addresses a previous relationship where his partner used to tell him that she loved him, and he would respond in kind. The lyrics showcase romantic idealism and a willingness to invest emotionally in the relationship. However, things took a turn, and now she has left him with love scars, and he is feeling sad. The lyrics are indicative of the trappings of love, which can be both joyous and painful, and how a relationship can quickly transition from something seemingly perfect to one that causes immense heartbreak.
In the context of the song, Trippie Redd expresses his want for love but acknowledges the problematic nature of its pursuit. He recognizes that love comes with scars and that sometimes, the pursuit of it can result in more significant pain. Furthermore, he touches on the aspect of materialism in relationship, as he offers his Balenciaga sneakers as an example of the materialistic things that he has acquired but still feels underwhelmed. The song offers an introspective look at the complexities of relationships, and how love can lead to both the best and worst aspects of humanity.
