Navigating Love in the Age of Likes: Lil Jay Wop's IG LUV Message
Lyrics
Instagram relationships, I'm good off that
Expressing a disinterest in relationships formed primarily on Instagram.
She in love with likes and clout but where the loyalty be at
Criticizing a focus on social media popularity over loyalty in a relationship.
I ain't sayin' that I'm perfect, but when I love you then I got your back
Acknowledging imperfection but asserting loyalty when in love.
Problem with our generation, they can't keep it real
Commenting on a perceived lack of authenticity in the current generation.
I want love with strings that's attached
Expressing a desire for genuine love with commitment.
You gotta keep it for real
Emphasizing the importance of honesty and authenticity in relationships.
I was down bad, I was poppin' them pills
Reflecting on a difficult period involving substance abuse.
Had to wake up, had to get me a mil'
Highlighting the need for personal growth and financial success.
I learned the hard way, they don't care how I feel
Expressing a realization that others may not empathize with personal struggles.
My own niggas didn't believe in me
Feeling let down by friends who lacked belief in the speaker.
I ain't no rat but I'm keepin' that cheese with me
Valuing material success and holding onto financial gains.
Different shawties be deceiving me
Experiencing deception from different romantic partners.
If she bad then you know she go'n leave with me
Indicating that attractive women are attracted to the speaker.
I been dyed my dreads, stop comparing me to Juice
Rejecting comparisons to another artist (Juice WRLD) and asserting individuality.
I know they go'n want me dead when I hop up out that coupe
Expecting hostility or danger when emerging from a luxurious car.
Ice up on my neck, I'm talkin' karats on the loose
Boasting about expensive jewelry, specifically loose diamonds.
Don't take this to heart but I just do it for my dudes
Doing things for close friends despite potential criticism from others.
But they still try to come for me
Facing unwarranted challenges or criticism from others.
Try to say that I can't rap and I need autotune to sing
Responding to accusations of relying on autotune, asserting natural talent.
This is God-given talent, yeah, watch how you speak on my name
Asserting that talent is a gift from God and cautioning against disrespecting the speaker's name.
You could hate, you could hate
Acknowledging potential haters but expressing resilience.
But you never go'n phase me, nah
Claiming immunity to negative influences or opinions.
I promise they can't phase me
Reiterating the speaker's resilience to external pressures.
Heart broke so many times, don't think nobody could break me
Having experienced heartbreak multiple times but feeling unbreakable.
No matter what you do, can't nobody replace me
Asserting one's irreplaceability regardless of others' actions.
No Instagram love 'cause that shit be so fake, please
Criticizing the superficial and fake nature of love on Instagram.
Instagram relationships, I'm good off that
