Not Supposed To Be Here Lyrics
[Intro]
Never Too Different
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Alright, yeah
[Verse 1]
At 13 I joined cyphers in Boston, I took the train
My first time out the north shore, before tour and the fame
Surrounded by these black and Spanish dudes, middle-late twenties
They could tell I lived a sheltered life, they still chose to respect me
I was timid, they were braver
I was (??), but they were better
Talking ’bout much realest things
Dead friends and gang pressure
I was just rapping about rapping
But they still were never haters
Hugging my mom when they met her
Told her her son’s gon’ be major
My dad wasn’t the bravest
So I looked up to those dudes as real men, my motivation
Were more talented than me
They set the bar that I was chasing
Fast forward — I’m the only one who made it
Now I’m not supposed to be here
[Verse 2]
My neighbors drive Tesla, young daughter in the back seat
Get mad when I whip fast down the cul-de-sac happy
My other neighbors are an older couple, maybe sixties
Probably worked their whole life to get that house and drive that Bentley
Four levels, big door, long, tall stairs
On the other side is the crib like theirs
Three young kids, early twenties, no parents
Every Friday night eight other cars next to theirs
And I wonder what they think
Do they even know that it’s just one kid paying for it?
The two others are his bros getting used to a lifestyle they may never reach alone
They think that I’m doing them a favor, but I don’t know
What happens when I wanna move or wanna be alone?
Am I selfish? Do I trick my friends with life that ain’t their own?
Five star meals, cleaning ladies (??)
I love my fu*king dogs, I’d do anything for ’em
I wanna take ’em with me everywhere, that’s who I do it for
But are they gonna resent me if one day I can not do it anymore?
Feel like I’m tricking (??) and all these blessings as my disguise
(??) homies
I gotta remind that we’re not supposed to be here
[Verse 3]
It could be just coincidence or maybe fate planned it
The house that I moved into with my money from Atlantic was my dream house
Till I realized where I got the dream from
It looked exactly like my best friend’s house in seventh grade
The same house I used to steal from
When he was out of town
I used to break in with my older friend and look around
And take anything of value that I saw
The most ironic part about it all is that the kid who lived there wasn’t just a friend
He was the only kid who convinced me to put my music on the internet
Without him I never would be on these steps
Now this house is just a stark reminder of the bad friend I’ve always been
Lier that I’ve always been, cheater and deceiver still
Lucky motherfu*ker, but know how to play the victim still
They tell me I feel off and fans defend me, nah, it’s okay
I promise I’m not even supposed to be here in the first place

Not Supposed To Be Here Lyrics Meaning
[Intro]
Feeling different and out of place.
[Verse 1]
Token takes us back to when he was just 13, hopping on a train to Boston to join freestyle rap sessions, even though it was far from his comfort zone. He was this quiet, inexperienced white kid from the suburbs, surrounded by older Black and Latino guys who had been through much more in life. These guys spoke about serious things like friends dying and gang struggles, while Token was just rapping for fun. Still, they didn’t mock him—they respected his effort and even encouraged him. They treated his mom kindly and told her he had potential, which meant a lot to him. Growing up without a strong male role model, he looked up to these guys like big brothers, real men who inspired him. He knew they had more skill than him, and that pushed him to get better. Now, years later, he’s the only one from that group who made it big. But instead of feeling proud, he feels like he wasn’t the one meant to succeed. It’s almost like he thinks someone else deserved it more, and he just ended up here by accident.
[Verse 2]
Now Token talks about his life in a rich neighborhood. His neighbors are different kinds of people—families with nice cars, retired couples who worked their whole lives, and some wild young guys who party a lot. He wonders what these people think when they see him. Many probably don’t know that he’s the one paying for everything in the house where three young guys live. His two friends live with him and enjoy the luxury, but Token questions if they truly understand the hard work behind it or if they’re just riding the wave. He starts to doubt if he’s helping them or just giving them false hope that they can have this kind of life too. He wonders what’ll happen if he wants space or can’t support them anymore—will they feel hurt or betrayed? He also shares his deep love for his dogs and says he’d do anything for them. But he’s scared that one day he might not be able to provide the same lifestyle for them either. All the money, success, and comfort he has feels like a mask, like he’s hiding behind it. Deep down, he still feels like a kid who wasn’t supposed to make it this far, and he tries to remind himself and his friends of that truth.
[Verse 3]
Here, Token opens up about something from his past that still haunts him. He talks about buying his dream home with money from his record label, only to realize it looks just like the house his best friend had back in seventh grade. The painful twist is that he used to sneak into that friend’s house and steal things when the family was away. It’s a heavy confession. And it stings even more because that friend wasn’t just some kid—he was the one who pushed Token to share his music online, something that basically started his whole career. Now, standing in a house that reminds him of that old betrayal, Token feels like it’s a symbol of his flaws. He admits to being dishonest and still carrying those same patterns—being lucky, but knowing how to make himself look like the victim. Even when fans defend him and say he’s just going through a rough patch, he knows the truth about himself. He doesn’t brush it off, but he also doesn’t fully believe he belongs in the success he has now. It all loops back to this uncomfortable thought—he feels like he’s somewhere he was never meant to be.
