Asshole
Unmasking Love's Deception: Lil Yachty and Oliver Tree's 'Asshole' Meaning
Lyrics
Why you such an asshole?
Questioning someone's behavior, asking why they act like an asshole.
Why you gotta act up?
Asking why the person is behaving in a disruptive or troublesome way.
Why you gotta try so hard every day, though?
Questioning the effort and intensity put into negative actions every day.
I don't fuck with you in that way, though
Expressing a lack of romantic interest or connection.
Why you such an asshole?
Reiterating the question about the person's unpleasant behavior.
You woke up on the wrong side of the bed
Describing the person as waking up in a bad mood and wrongly blaming the speaker.
Blamin' me for shit I didn't do, that's incorrect
Denying responsibility for alleged wrongdoing and suggesting it's incorrect.
I'ma tippy-toe right out your life, you do me wrong
Deciding to remove oneself from the negative situation if mistreated.
Ain't finna keep puttin' up with all that disrespect
Refusing to tolerate ongoing disrespect and mistreatment.
You took the top off of the Rolls
Referencing a luxurious car and a carefree attitude.
On the wind, fightin' sun, let your hair blow
Painting a vivid picture of freedom and enjoyment.
That's with me, before you had me, you was nothin'
Highlighting the speaker's contribution to the person's life.
So why you actin' like it's beef when it's not, though?
Questioning why there's conflict when there shouldn't be.
Bags I bought, the trunk we stuffed, you love it
Listing material possessions acquired together.
Understand no other man gon' love you
Asserting the uniqueness of the speaker's love.
Spoiled brat, you super spoiled
Labeling the person as spoiled.
Actin' like you came from oil
Accusing the person of pretending to be wealthy.
You was broke before you met me
Highlighting the person's financial state before the relationship.
I was broke before I had this
Acknowledging the speaker's past financial struggles.
Need to stop with all the madness
Calling for an end to irrational behavior.
Actin' like you got no damn sense
Pointing out the irrationality in the person's actions.
Why you such an asshole? (Oh, oh, Lil Boat)
Repeating the initial question about the person's unpleasant behavior.
Why you gotta act up? (Up)
Reiterating the inquiry into the disruptive behavior.
Why you gotta try so hard every day, though?
Repeating the question about excessive effort in negativity.
I don't fuck with you in that way, though
Restating the lack of romantic interest or connection.
Why you such an asshole?
Reiterating the inquiry about the person's unpleasant behavior.
A-S-S-H-O-L-E
Spelling out "asshole" as a direct label for the person's behavior.
But if you go broke, don't you dare go call me
Warning against seeking help if the person goes broke.
I tried so hard just to make you love me
Expressing significant effort to gain the person's love.
Smile in my face when I know you're phoney
Noting a discrepancy between outward behavior and true feelings.
Play it so cool, but you got me anxious
Commenting on the person's attractive appearance but warning about a dangerous personality.
Skin like gold, but your heart so dangerous
Questioning the authenticity of the person's feelings.
If I am not him, why don't you just tell me?
Asking for honesty if the speaker doesn't meet the person's expectations.
Tried to pay for your love, but you just won't sell me
Describing failed attempts to buy the person's love.
Lost in love
Expressing a feeling of being lost in love.
I shouldn't wanna chase you no more
Declaring an intention to stop pursuing the person.
I can't really take it no more
Expressing difficulty in continuing the current situation.
Honestly, your energy is poor
Criticizing the person's negative energy.
Piss poor, piss poor
Emphasizing the poor quality of the person's energy.
It's like you don't care anymore
Noting a lack of caring from the person.
How did I not notice this before?
Reflecting on not recognizing the person's negative traits earlier.
Why you such an asshole?
Repeating the question about the person's unpleasant behavior.
Why you gotta act up? (Up)
Reiterating the inquiry into the disruptive behavior.
Why you gotta try so hard every day, though? (Every day)
Repeating the question about excessive effort in negativity.
I don't fuck with you in that way, though (no)

Why you such an asshole?
