kmf Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
This year started crazy
I don't know what was going on these first four months
But
(Verse)
Know I ain't perfect
But everyday I wake up
Deserve a pat on
The back like a baby that's burping
CellPhone still in service
Like ye without churches
cnd the nugs on the bud look
Like Julius Erving
Walk the surface I ain't nervous
Cause my life is a circus
Finding a balance
Somewhere between lavish and average
Minimizing habits level up baggage
Into fashion sold designer in my closet
I design and pick the fabric
Heart with crown patches
Glitter or metallic
Paint a perfect picture
Cause it shows what imagine
January febuary march all madness
Gottem rapping what I'm rapping
Like fanatics its fantastic
They knew me that was back then
In other words that's past tense
Only thing the same I'm bout them
Benjis like affleck
Grew this agriculture like cztec
Helping others grow when arms stretch
Only thing po is the hi tech
So out of my mind I'm surprised
My hair ain't grey how much I stress
c lot I gotta digest & dissect
Cause all I see is green how you ain't
See it in my eyes yet
You don't know me well
Or wish me well
But pray that I give em what they ask like a wishing well
They don't really get me they dont get to wells
Close ones wishing that I fail
In cpril was fool but it's cool cause that's a whole other story that I gotta tell
See you later
The lyrics of KMF's song "Fool" dive into the artist's reflections on the early months of the year and his personal growth and struggles. The first verse starts off with the acknowledgment that he is not perfect, but every day he wakes up, he puts in the work. He compares himself to a baby burping and needing a pat on the back, indicating that he deserves recognition for his efforts. The line "Cellphone still in service, like ye without churches" suggests that despite distractions and chaos, he remains focused and committed to his goals.
The lyrics continue to depict his confidence and fearlessness as he walks the surface of life, even amidst challenges. He seeks to find a balance between living lavishly and being average, trying to minimize habits that hold him back and instead leveling up his experiences and opportunities. He boasts about owning designer clothes and how he personally designs and chooses the fabric for his wardrobe. He describes his heart as adorned with crown patches, possibly symbolizing his ambition and self-assuredness.
As the verse progresses, the lyrics touch on the artist's journey and growth. He mentions how people used to know him in the past, but he has evolved and moved forward. The only constant thing in his life is his pursuit of financial success, referencing "Benjis like Affleck" (a reference to American actor and filmmaker Ben Affleck). He connects his personal growth to agriculture, portraying himself as someone who helps others grow and expand their horizons. The mention of "po is the hi tech" implies that he transcends the limitations of his current reality.
Despite the challenges he faces, the artist reflects on his mindset and the stress he feels. He questions why people can't see the ambition and drive in his eyes yet, and he acknowledges that others might not understand him or wish him well. He is aware of those who secretly hope for his failure, but he remains undeterred. The lyrics end with the promise of sharing more of his story in the future, bidding farewell for now.
