He knows he played a part in her being the way she is now, but can’t help the fact that he might want love one week, and then want to be alone the next week. He’s asking himself “Why you do that?” because he’s aware of his actions, but honestly doesn’t know why he is the way he is.
PRBLMS Lyrics
[Intro]
Yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah
Alright
[Verse 1]
And she said, "You a goddamn liar"
I ain't mean to say that shit, girl, I was goddamn high
So we left the crib, now we in the goddamn ride
She lookin' goddamn fine
I wanted a bitch who was down to Earth
But she want the goddamn sky
[Chorus]
Uh, list of my problems
Got this one on my line that won't stop fuckin' callin'
It's crazy, I made her that way
Every time I see her out, I see the hate in her face
Like why you do that?
Tell her you love her when, next week, you just want your space
Why you do, why you do that?
Tell her you want her but, next week, you do your own thing
Why you do, why you do that?
I can't explain it, but just know it workin' for me
She text me "I hate you, I hate you, I hate you, I hate you"
But how the fuck can you hate me?
When I ain't did shit, but be the real thang
She know I'm the real, that'll never change
I never been the one to try to explain
While you catch them feels, I'ma sip on this drank, it's easin' my brain
[Post-Chorus]
I got real shit to stress about, girl, I ain't worried 'bout shit ('Bout shit)
Remember that I tried to build ya, now I ain't worried 'bout shit
I got real shit to stress about, girl, I ain't worried 'bout shit ('Bout shit)
Remember that I tried to build ya, now I ain't worried 'bout shit
So I found me a new thang, I'm not as lost as you think
Got plenty queens in my hometown, all they need is drank and that dank
So I found me a new thang, I'm not as lost as you think
Got plenty queens in my hometown, all they need is drank and that dank
[Verse 2]
Now I'm like, "It's a goddamn shame"
We done crashed, we done burned but, baby, you to goddamn blame
See, I wanted love, but you wanted goddamn fame, every goddamn thang
I wanted a bitch who was on the move but you want to goddamn lay
[Chorus]
Uh, list of my problems
Got this one in my bed and she just wants to sleep
Fuckin' up all of the sheets
She only wake up to eat
Do this shit every week
Like, why you do that?
Cryin' you want to be great, but sleepin' until the next day
Why you do that?
Don't got that much in the bank, we go out, she order the steak
Why you do, why you do that?
She can't explain it, but just know it workin' for her
She claimin' she down on her luck, but really, she don't give a fuck
And I cannot make this shit up
And I ain't did shit but be the real thang
She know I'm the real, that'll never change
I won't be the one to try to explain
While you catch them feels, I'ma sip on this drank, it's easin' the pain
[Post-Chorus]
I got real shit to stress about, girl, I ain't worried 'bout shit ('Bout shit)
Remember that I tried to build ya, now I ain't worried 'bout shit
I got real shit to stress about, girl, I ain't worried 'bout shit ('Bout shit)
Remember that I tried to build ya, now I ain't worried 'bout shit
So I found me a new thang, I'm not as lost as you think
Got plenty queens in my hometown, all they need is drank and that dank
So I found me a new thang, I'm not as lost as you think
Got plenty queens in my hometown, all they need is drank and that dank

What has 6LACK said about the visuals for "PRBLMS"?
The video for “PRBLMS” premiered October 14th, 2016. In an email sent to Complex, 6LACK said that the visuals mirror his current life.
I wanted to let people know exactly where I am. It’s a huge transitional period for me right now. I’m free, and am getting ready to release the first body of work t...
What was the inspiration for this song?
I remember it like it was yesterday. I used to pride myself on not dealing with nobody crazy, as far as relationships go. So I would always be like, “I’ve never dealt with nobody crazy.” Because I just don’t attract that. For once, I got into a situation where everybody was like, “Don’t do it.” And...
How did the beat for this song come about?
The “PRBLMS” beat was given to me by my in-house producer, who is not Nova. This dude Sengod. And Sengod is kind of like me, just searching on the Internet. He finds a dope beat and just shoots me ideas. He shot me the beat first, and obviously, I went to Nova with the song, like “I know I don’t kno...
How long did it take 6lack to write this song?
Maybe 35 minutes—35 or 40 minutes. There was literally a stream. When you listen to the song, it’s not super rappy, and it’s not super singy. It’s more so like me talking in my voice. So it was just like 40 minutes of just line for line just saying exactly what I was feeling at the time. And just ma...
Why did 6lack take the vowels out of the song title?
It just looked cooler. The song was called “PRBLMS.” I don’t even think when I first saved the bounce, that I typed out “Problems.” It was always “PRBLMS” from the beginning. I looked at the word for a second. I was like, “It’s kind of ugly.” Then I dropped the vowels, and that was it.
What certifications did this track receive?
“PRBLMS” was certified 2x platinum by the RIAA on April 10, 2018.
Is there a live performance?
Yes, in 2020 Miller Music Amplified:
