The song “type” by Hook explores the speaker’s perspective on relationships and the type of person they are attracted to. The lyrics suggest that the speaker is aware of their own nature and acknowledges that they are not the type of person who can be taken home to meet someone’s mother.

(Yo Ned)
[Verse]
I'm not the type to take home to your mom, not the type to—
I'm not the type to take home to your mom, not the t—
I'm not the type to take home to—
I'm not the type to take home to your mommy
Don't take me to your mommy
Don't take me to your mommy
I'm about making profit
I hate when a nigga can't afford it
But I hate when a nigga is boring
Jump off the stage like I did in the pen
For the once of it, bitch, I didn't depend
But it's coming from the head so it's really on my bid
And you want me to change, bitch, I really feel like this
I'm not the type you can, um, bring home to mother
But I am the type to spend the night with you
One night, you don't want me for life, for loving
Don't want me for life, for loving
Don't want me to be your wife
Okay, that's fine with me
Just don't talk about how you need a queen
To rub your feet and rub your wing
Talk about how much I mean to you
'Cause your not hubby material anyways
You're just one of those niggas that I need for the night
That I need for the night
I won't take you to my mother
You're not the type to take home to my mommy
You're not the type to take home to my mother
You're not, you're not the type
You're not the type to take home to mom
Not the type, no, you're not the type
And it's fine, just let it be what it is
Don't be manipulating me
You're not the type to take home to my mom, you're not
'Cause you just want me for the night, not for life
You're not the type
