On “BEST FOR ME,” Australian rapper and singer The Kid LAROI discusses his need to focus on himself and break free from a toxic, betrayal-ridden relationship.
The track shares a nearly identical instrumental with Jaden’s September 2014 track, “Blue Ocean,” which in turn samples Justin Timberlake’s...
[Verse 1]
I gave you all of me for none of you
Something that I don't ever do
You made me feel like I'm not good enough, yeah
And I don't wanna walk away, that's the last thing that I want
But, hey, I guess right now I have to do whatever's best for me (Best for me)
[Chorus]
I can't hold my breath no more
Tired of your selfish love
I can't be what you want
But I still wanna be loved
Never asked for nothin' else
Gotta do this for myself
I believed you loved me, girl
When I couldn't even love myself
[Verse 2]
I'm afraid of myself
You taught me how to hate myself
For you, oh, girl, I changed myself
And chained myself down, and then I start to blame myself
Back and forth with my head
Thinkin' 'bout what all you said
I swear it's been a week since I slept
'Cause mine don't feel the same as your bed
This ain't love, it's hard to fake it
You ain't mine, it's hard to face it
All of the time I wasted
I really tried to save us but
[Chorus]
I can't hold my breath no more
Tired of your selfish love
I can't be what you want
But I still wanna be loved
Never asked for nothin' else
Gotta do this for myself
I believed you loved me, girl
When I couldn't even love myself
