Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I promise you I'm not the villain
I know cos I'm fighting my demons
Broken, I'm gathering the pieces
(Gathering the pieces)
Music my only religion
Mama told me keep believing
Stack it till the ceiling
Till the ceiling

Would you be happy if i never spit a bar
If i never had dreams of driving a fancy car
If i never anticipated id one day be a star
Tell me would you be happy
Is that really who you are
I hurt you with the way i live
But this is all i got
Its all I'm gonna give
Before we make any worse
Its probably best i leave
I gotta put in work
I gotta roll my sleeves
Hush
Big dawgs don't cry
You disappointed cos they told you lies
Wipe away the tears outtta those eyes
Stop embarrassing yourself you are so fly
Its they loss not yours
Put your shit together
Get your life on course
When a door closes God opens other doors
Live your life
Ya, show em who's boss

I promise you I'm not the villain
I know cos I'm fighting my demons
Broken, I'm gathering the pieces
(Gathering the pieces)
Music my only religion
Mama told me keep believing
Stack it till the ceiling
Till the ceiling

I promise you I'm not the villain
I know cos I'm fighting my demons
Broken, I'm gathering the pieces
(Gathering the pieces)
Music my only religion
Mama told me keep believing
Stack it till the ceiling
Till the ceiling

Daddy used to tell me boy you're so slow
Brother used to tell me bro take the high road
Its been a tussle since i was 7yrs old
Tryna crack a warm smile in a world so cold
Tryna rise to the highest celebration
Took a lot
What a generation
Music so pure i spit it from my soul
My life, sickest story ever told
Hush
Big dawgs don't cry
You disappointed cos they told you lies
Wipe away the tears outtta those eyes
Stop embarrassing yourself you are so fly
Its they loss not yours
Put your shit together
Get your life on course
When a door closes God opens other doors
Live your life
Ya, show em who's boss

I promise you I'm not the villain
I know cos I'm fighting my demons
Broken, I'm gathering the pieces
(Gathering the pieces)
Music my only religion
Mama told me keep believing
Stack it till the ceiling
Till the ceiling

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of WonderThaHypeman's song Villain seem to be a self-reflection of an individual who is trying hard to prove to the world that he is not the villain that everyone thinks he is. The opening line "I promise you I'm not the villain" itself indicates that the person is trying to make amends for his actions, but the world still sees him as a bad person. He knows that he is battling his own inner demons, and he wants to change. He even describes himself as "Broken, gathering the pieces," which can be interpreted as the person trying to put himself back together.


The artist uses his music as his only religion, which is an indication that he finds peace in his art. His mother tells him to keep believing and to "stack it till the ceiling," which could mean that he should never give up and work hard towards his passion. He questions whether the people around him would be happy if he never made it big or if he didn't have the ambition to drive a fancy car. He acknowledges that he has hurt people with his way of life, but he has nothing else to give but his music.


The song's overall message could be that people should not judge others based on their past, but their present and future actions. It also indicates the importance of believing in oneself, working hard, and never giving up on their dreams.
