PERFECT
Tyler the Creator Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

The day that I met you girl
I knew that it was something special
But I couldn't put my finger on it (Fuck I can't sing whatever look)
We met through mutual friends
And this is where the story and confusion begin
'Cause I was in a problem but I had to pretend that I wasn't

There go the police man knocking at my door
Do I leave out the back and grab my wallet and coat
Or do I answer real confused like "I don't know"
Now me and she held hands and we danced, nothing more
She kissed my hand a couple times, FaceTime when we're bored
There's nobody at the door, man I'm so paranoid

Girl you're perfect, but you're too fucking young for me
And when temptation calls (my phone), I never pick up
And girl, you stole my heart but you're too fucking young
This is more than a crush, I just might be in love

A six year difference is a ten year sentence
And with the pigment on my skin
I don't want to be another statistic
You bring me joy, joy, joy, joy
And you fill a void that was once missing
And I can say I'm in love

There go the police man knocking at my door
Do I leave out the back and grab my wallet and coat
Or do I answer real confused like "I don't know"
Now me and she held hands and we danced, nothing more
She kissed my hand a couple times, FaceTime when we're bored
There's nobody at the door, man I'm so paranoid

Girl you're perfect, but you're too fucking young
And when temptation calls (my phone), I never pick up
And girl, you stole my heart but you're too fucking young
This is more than a crush, I just might be in love

When you're 35, I'll be 41
And when I'm 27, you'll be 21
Yo, this is dumb
And when that time comes for that 1-8, I'll probably run
'Cause I'm fucking terrified, yo this is dumb
You should find someone else
I'm not the one for you, shit, I'm still growing up by myself
And mentally you're older than me and that shit doesn't help
'Cause if they see you with T, they'll think T needs some help
So when you mention "hang," I'm thinking about a tree and a belt
And I don't want no relation, shit no relation
Ship when my dick is longer than my attention-
Span, it's gonna suck your shit
It's that kitchen fan
It splattered on me like my dick in my hand
What? I'm still fucking off, not good at ducking off
Because I found a goose that I like, but I'm still running off
She gon' want a nest, that's why I cannot get fucking caught
That's a scary word, you could save that shit for the birds
But I found my wings, fuck
(But you're too fucking young)
I really like you
(And when temptation calls, I never pick up
And girl, you stole my heart but you're too fucking young)
Funny thing about this is
By the time you hear this, I'll be in the clear
It's T and Uncle Charlie
(But you're too young, but you're too young, but you're too young)

Boy I know, that we could be more
Than just friends, but you're scared
Boy I know, that we could be more
Than just friends, but you're scared (I know)

I know that there could be
Somethin' for you and me
What's your philosophy?
You're scared, scared
And I exit and wait a while
(Just say the word)
See the answers are all there
(But I'm just too gone to see)
You and I are cut from different fiber
(I wonder why, I wonder why, girl)
Don't be too material to see
(But I'm just too gone to see)
This world is such a struggle just to be
Fuck 'em all baby, it's just you and me

But you're too fuckin' young
And girl I know that you're the one for me
Fuck
'Cause you're too fuckin' young
And girl I know that you're the one for me
And it hurts, it fuckin' hurts
'Cause you're too fuckin' young
And girl I know that you're the one
That you're the one, for me
'Cause you're too fuckin' young
And girl I know that you're the one for me, yeah





I rock

Overall Meaning

The song "Fucking Young" by Tyler The Creator Feat. Kali Uchis is about Tyler's attraction to a girl who he knows is too young for him. The lyrics go back and forth between Tyler expressing his feelings for the girl and acknowledging the age gap between them. Tyler struggles between having feelings for the girl and knowing that pursuing a relationship with her would be inappropriate due to the significant age difference.


The lyrics also touch on themes of paranoia and fear of getting caught, as Tyler knows that their relationship could be viewed negatively by society. Tyler also acknowledges the racial aspect of their relationship, as he worries about being seen as another statistic due to the difference in their skin color. However, throughout the song, Tyler cannot help but feel drawn to the girl and admits that he might even be in love with her.


Overall, "Fucking Young" is a complex and introspective song that dives into the nuances and complexities of a taboo and controversial relationship.

A six year difference is a ten year sentence

And with the pigment on my skin
My race is a factor in how others view our relationship

I don't want our love to become another example of a doomed relationship between people with a significant age gap


You bring me joy, joy, joy, joy
Your presence in my life brings me happiness and joy beyond words

I'm not the one for you, shit, I'm still growing up by myself
I am still trying to figure things out and don't feel like I can be the person you need or deserve in a relationship


And mentally you're older than me and that shit doesn't help
Even though you are younger than me, you have a more mature and developed mental outlook than I do, which complicates things further


'Cause if they see you with T, they'll think T needs some help
If others find out about our relationship, they might think that I need help or that there is something wrong with me


So when you mention "hang," I'm thinking about a tree and a belt
Mentioning "hang" makes me feel uncomfortable and reminds me of darker things that I don't want to associate with our relationship


And I don't want no relation, shit no relation
I don't want to be involved in a relationship with you given our age difference


Ship when my dick is longer than my attention-
I don't want a relationship until I can keep my attention focused on it for longer than my sexual desires


Span, it's gonna suck your shit
If we start a relationship now, it will most likely end poorly and cause pain for us both


It's that kitchen fan
I'm blaming my indecision and discomfort on something random and insignificant like a kitchen fan


It splattered on me like my dick in my hand

What? I'm still fucking off, not good at ducking off
I'm still making poor decisions and not good at avoiding trouble


Because I found a goose that I like, but I'm still running off
Even though I like you, I know that I need to end our relationship and move on for both of our sakes


She gon' want a nest, that's why I cannot get fucking caught
If our relationship continues and deepens, you might want to start a family, which is something I cannot commit to because of our age difference


That's a scary word, you could save that shit for the birds
The idea of starting a family is scary to me and it's better for us to not focus on it


But I found my wings, fuck
I feel empowered and free to make the decision to end our relationship


(But you're too fucking young)
Even though I care about you deeply, the reality is that our age difference makes it difficult for us to have a successful relationship


I really like you
I care about you deeply, but I know that we cannot be together given our age difference


Funny thing about this is
The irony of this situation is


By the time you hear this, I'll be in the clear
By the time you listen to this song, I will have ended our relationship and moved on


It's T and Uncle Charlie
This song features Tyler The Creator and a guest performer named Uncle Charlie


(But you're too young, but you're too young, but you're too young)
Repeated emphasis on the fact that our age difference makes it difficult for us to be together


Boy I know, that we could be more
I recognize that we have great potential to be more than just friends


Than just friends, but you're scared
I want to take our relationship to the next level, but you are hesitant due to our age difference


Than just friends, but you're scared (I know)
I understand that you are afraid to take our relationship further because of our age difference


I know that there could be
I recognize that there is potential for us to have a deeper and more meaningful relationship


Somethin' for you and me
There is something special between us that can be nurtured and developed into a meaningful relationship


What's your philosophy?
What are your thoughts and beliefs about our relationship and where we can take it?


You're scared, scared
You are still afraid to enter into a deeper relationship because of our age difference


And I exit and wait a while
I walk away and give you time to think about our relationship and where it can go


(Just say the word)
I am waiting for you to express your feelings and wants for our relationship


See the answers are all there
The solution to our problem is obvious and clear


(But I'm just too gone to see)
I am too blinded by my own fears and doubts to see the solution that is in front of me


You and I are cut from different fiber
Our personalities and life experiences are vastly different from each other


(I wonder why, I wonder why, girl)
I'm not sure why we are so different and why our relationship is so complicated


Don't be too material to see
Don't let superficial factors like age and race cloud your judgement about our relationship


This world is such a struggle just to be
The world is already difficult and challenging enough without adding the complications of our age-gap relationship


Fuck 'em all baby, it's just you and me
I don't care about what others think or say about our relationship, it's just about you and me


And girl I know that you're the one for me
I know deep down that we have a special connection and that you are the one for me


Fuck
An expression of frustration and confusion


'Cause you're too fuckin' young
Our age difference is the biggest obstacle to us having a successful relationship


And it hurts, it fuckin' hurts
The pain of not being with you hurts me deeply


And girl I know that you're the one
Despite the obstacles we face, I know deep down that you are the one for me


That you're the one, for me
You hold a special place in my heart, even if we cannot be together due to our age difference


And girl I know that you're the one for me, yeah
Despite everything, I still believe that you are the one for me


I rock
A closing statement or affirmation of oneself

[Intro: Kali Uchis]
Boy, I know
That we could be more
Than just friends
But you're scared
Boy, I know
That we could be more
Than just friends
But you're scared

[Verse: Kali Uchis (Tyler the Creator)]
I know that there could be
Something for you and me
What's your philosophy?
You're scared, scared
Oh darlin', it's in the way you want me
(Just say the word, girl)
You can see the answers are all there
(But I'm just too blind to see)
You and I are cut from different fabric
(I wonder why, I wonder why with you, girl)
Don't be too material to see
(But I'm just too blind to see)
Some how this world is such a struggle just to be
Fuck em' all, baby, it's just you and me

You make me better
And I know this don't make sense
But you make me better

Yeah, oh

People are getting AIDS without an HIV positive diagnosis when they have long COVID, which happens to some people when they don't entirely recover from a COVID infection

The CDC hasnt alarmed the public as of yet and ive been seeing people get AIDS without an HIV positive diagnosis since 2020-2021

I knew about long COVID approximately a year before the CDC said anything and most of the public doesn't even know what it is still, because somebody is keeping people in the dark

Hehe, the CDC is the Center for Disease Control not the Center for Disease Eradication

Disease eradication throughout the 20th century played a role in the massive population booms seen during the last half of the 20th century and the 21st century

Diseases can be controlled as a form of population control, & they aren't properly educating and alarming the public when it comes to disease transmission and the things currently threatening millions of peoples health and longevity

COVID artificially ages every organ in the body which will trim years off of many peoples lives, especially if they aren't taking care of their health or protecting themselves in other ways, especially the ones who fell for the antivaxx movement which is projected to grow over the next couple decades, genociding many stupid people into premature graves

The Federal Government and the CDC initiated a Mass Infection Protocol, took away masking restrictions after people got vaccinated, just to get people back to work to prevent the economy from collapsing

The lives and longevity of millions of workers, children, animals, people in general were sacrificed on the altar of capitalism to keep the economy from crumbling
