Nobody Lyrics

[Intro]
Sometimes I'm missing you, missing you
And I would do anything to bring you back to me
Sometimes I'm missing you, missing you
How can I bring you back to me?
Sometimes I'm missing you, missing you
And I would do anything to bring you back to me
Sometimes I'm missing you, missing you
How can I bring you back to me?

[Verse 1]
Been slidin' all year, I don't know when this finna stop
It could be a little longer, don't know when this finna drop
All I know is I'ma grind, do me, and you could watch
Sit back, they gettin' hurt about me sittin' at the top
If I went broke, they'd be like, "Oh well, how you lose your spot?"
The industry could cancel me, I can't be who I'm not
And I don't care for you to understand every line I drop
Just know I came from nothing, my garage look like a lot
They be fakin' views, bots, fuck the band, who's hot?
I'm exactly who I say I am, pussy, you's not
We don't pick and choose shots, go for anybody
Tryna act up, don't spare nobody

[Chorus]
Nobody, nobody
Back to the wall, it was nobody
Nobody, nobody
Nobody
[Verse 2]
If I ain't see that boy perform, I play deaf
Nowadays you gotta put niggas to the test
How is you my brother and you sayin' you gon' step?
Niggas shot me in my neck and you left

Five in my chest, no one around
I couldn't picture nothin' but you holdin' me down
It was nobody, it was nobody, I had nobody, yeah

Trauma in my head, but I smile for the flicks
Mama hurt knowin' my life wild as a bitch
This the shit, I spent a hundred thousand for this
Chains bust, bitches goin' wild for the glitz
One of them niggas, yeah, that's they reason why they hate me
That's one the reasons why I can't walk with it on safety

I'ma stack every chance given, can't pace me
I can't let a nigga bake me

[Chorus]
Nobody, nobody
Back to the wall, it was nobody
Nobody, nobody
Nobody

[Outro]
Nobody, nobody
Fuck it, I got used to havin' nobody
Nobody, nobody
Cold life, you ain't got nobody
Nobody, nobody (Who gon' die with you? Nigga, nobody)
Sittin' in the cell, I had nobody
Nobody, nobody (Never havin' nobody)
Never havin' nobody, yeah

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]

About

This song bio is unreviewed
Genius Annotation

On “Nobody”, Tjay raps about dealing with trauma and pain by yourself with nobody to help support him. He recalls certain moments in his life where he felt like he was alone, and now boasts about his lifestyle and how people will envy him.

The introduction of this track brilliantly incorporates the melody from Bobby Glenn’s timeless classic, “Sounds Like a Love Song,” reminiscent of the ingenious sampling technique employed by the legendary Jay-Z in his profound hit, “Song Cry.”
