Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Got a triple header, nothin better
Anything spectacular, that's me
I had you on the first thing
Smokin to my paradise?
Only you would be the one to not know what it is
Tell me? Tell Me?
Who made you better?
Good comeback got you sweating
Just one more question
Oh why you're sweatin
Is it cause it's too much pressure
Maybe now you learned your lesson
I'm going back to my first love
Cause that's the lover, that loves me the best (the best)
Since you're not half the man I am
I guess I'll be loving myself
I'm going back to my first love
The lover, that loves me the best
I'm going back to my first love
Guess I'll be loving myself
Call me strange, whatever
I know I can love me better
Than the little boy
That's tryin to be a man
Got caught up in your hype
Now you missed the spot light
You thought you was a star
Now I'm snatchin your lime light
Tell me? Tell Me?
Who made you better?
Who kept it ready? when you need it good and ready?
Good comeback kept you sweating
Just one more question
Did you think you wouldn't learn your lesson
Tryin to flex on me
I'm going back to my first love
Cause that's the lover, that loves me the best (the best)
Since you're not half the man I am
I guess I'll be loving myself
I'm going back to my first love
The lover, that loves me the best
I'm going back to my first love
Guess I'll be loving myself
Used to be closer, now we be on different continents
I done packed me some confidence
Got you saying that I'm a trip
Had to flip the script on you
I played my roll and like I'm proud of it
Ladies promises ?
Damn at least we could honor ?
Presidential suite in rome, baby girl I'm dialin in
And I know you're phone on silent mode
But pick it up I'm calling in
And I notice that your a star and all
But girl I keep you shining
And if I must I will remind you that
And I would definitely ?
I'm going back to my first love
Cause that's the lover, that loves me the best (the best)
Since you're not half the man I am
I guess I'll be loving myself
I'm going back to my first love
The lover, that loves me the best
I'm going back to my first love
Guess I'll be loving myself
In Tynisha Keli's song Half A Man, the singer confronts a former lover who underestimated her worth and tries to come back into her life. The lyrics begin with her boasting about her confidence and prowess, making it clear that she no longer needs her ex. She challenges him, asking who made him better and kept him ready, suggesting that he couldn't handle her or keep up with her needs. She then declares that she's going back to her first love: herself. She acknowledges that she can love herself better than the "little boy" who tried to be a man for her. The chorus repeats that idea - she's going back to the lover that loves her best, herself. She's "loving herself" because her ex isn't "half the man" she is.
The second verse takes a more confrontational tone, with the singer announcing that she's now on a different level than her ex. She's gained confidence and is no longer impressed by his "hype." She's flipping the script on him and is proud of herself for doing so. The bridge is spoken word, with the lines delivered in a rhythmic, poetic style. The singer acknowledges the former lover's success but reminds them that they keep them shining. The song ends with a repetition of the chorus, emphasizing the message that the singer is her own best lover.
Line by Line Meaning
On my first round up
At the beginning of our relationship
Got a triple header, nothin better
I had everything I wanted
Anything spectacular, that's me
I am a unique and amazing person
I had you on the first thing
You were attracted to me from the start
Smokin to my paradise?
You were enjoying being with me
Only you would be the one to not know what it is
You were the only one not aware of how great our relationship was
Tell me? Tell Me?
I want an explanation
Who made you better?
Who improved you?
Who kept it ready? when you need it good and ready?
Who was always there for you?
Good comeback got you sweating
My response made you uncomfortable
Just one more question
I have one more thing to ask
Oh why you're sweatin
Why are you uncomfortable?
Is it cause it's too much pressure
Are you feeling pressured?
Maybe now you learned your lesson
Maybe you will learn from your mistakes
I'm going back to my first love
I am returning to my self-love
Cause that's the lover, that loves me the best (the best)
I love myself the most
Since you're not half the man I am
You are not even close to being as great as I am
I guess I'll be loving myself
I will focus on self-love instead of loving you
Call me strange, whatever
Label me as you wish
I know I can love me better
I am aware that I can love myself better than you can
Than the little boy
You are acting immature
That's tryin to be a man
You are trying to be something you are not
Got caught up in your hype
You believed your own lies
Now you missed the spot light
You lost your chance to shine
You thought you was a star
You thought you were special
Now I'm snatchin your lime light
I am taking the attention away from you
Did you think you wouldn't learn your lesson
Did you really think you would not have consequences for your actions?
Tryin to flex on me
Trying to show off for me
Used to be closer, now we be on different continents
We used to be close, but now we are far apart
I done packed me some confidence
I have gained self-confidence
Got you saying that I'm a trip
You are calling me crazy
Had to flip the script on you
I had to change the situation on you
I played my roll and like I'm proud of it
I acted the way I wanted to, and I am proud of it
Ladies promises ?
I made a promise to myself?
Damn at least we could honor ?
Can we at least keep our promises?
Presidential suite in rome, baby girl I'm dialin in
I am calling from a fancy hotel in Rome
And I know you're phone on silent mode
I know your phone is on silent
But pick it up I'm calling in
Please answer my call
And I notice that your a star and all
I know you are famous and all
But girl I keep you shining
I help you stay in the spotlight
And if I must I will remind you that
If necessary, I will remind you
And I would definitely ?
I definitely would do what?
Guess I'll be loving myself
I am choosing to love myself
