No Boo Lyrics – JID

No Boo Lyrics Meaning

[Verse 1: Jessie Reyez]
She’s frustrated because she took someone out to a nice place like Nobu, only to end up hearing about his ex. She’s making it clear that she’s not here to be someone’s emotional support when they’re not even emotionally available themselves. The baggage he’s carrying isn’t her responsibility, and she’s not about to stick around for that drama. She tells him to deal with his issues, maybe get a therapist, instead of randomly reaching out like she’s waiting on him—because she’s definitely not.

[Verse 2: JID, JID & Jessie Reyez]
JID comes in saying, respectfully, that he’s not the one starting the drama, and he’s not the only one bringing up past relationships. He’s got his own flaws—he’s tried to stay away from hooking up but gave in. He’s been with someone who’s emotionally confusing, teasing intimacy, but maybe just looking for someone with status. He thinks once he’s out of the picture, things won’t go well for her. Deep down, though, he admits he’s emotionally tied to her and wants that connection. Still, when she drinks, things get wild, and she goes overboard emotionally, like she’s reaching for something that isn’t even grounded anymore.

[Chorus: Jessie Reyez & JID, Jessie Reyez]
They’re both caught in a messy moment, and Jessie’s telling him to stop overthinking and ruining whatever vibe they have. She’s calling out his loneliness and the constant chasing of someone like her, as if he doesn’t even realize she’s right there. There’s a bit of sarcasm too—he acts like he can’t find her, even though it’s obvious where she is. She’s tired of the games and wants him to recognize what’s in front of him, instead of pretending he’s lost or disconnected.

[Verse 3: Jessie Reyez]
She’s calling him out for being overly confident. Just because he’s popular or has money doesn’t mean she’s impressed. In fact, her friends don’t even find him attractive. He’s hyped up, talking big, but moving slow and not even reaching for the check. Basically, she sees right through the fake confidence and thinks he’s all talk with nothing to back it up.

[Verse 4: JID, JID & Jessie Reyez]
JID opens up a bit more here, admitting he’s emotionally drained and not doing well because of past heartbreak. He’s spiraling and knows it. He mocks how his ex is trying to make him jealous online with shady posts, but he’s over that childish stuff and doesn’t even engage on social media like that. He’s not impressed by looks alone anymore and doesn’t care if she’s crying over him. He’s unsure about their future together—it’s unclear and floating, like a ribbon in the sky. He wants honesty and hates when love is mixed with lies and secrecy. He warns that if she keeps playing games and hiding things, it’s only going to lead to more trouble for both of them.

[Chorus: Jessie Reyez & JID, Jessie Reyez]
Again, they’re caught in this tension between wanting connection and dealing with emotional messiness. Jessie’s telling him not to mess up the vibe again and questions if he’s tired of the constant loneliness and searching. She points out how he pretends like he can’t find her emotionally or physically, even though she’s been right there the whole time. There’s frustration in her voice but also a bit of longing.

[Outro: JID & Jessie Reyez, Jessie Reyez, JID]
Here, the Spanish lines add an emotional twist. They’re both telling each other to stay in the moment and stop ruining what they have. Jessie asks why he keeps looking for love elsewhere when it’s right in front of him. It’s like he’s acting like she’s invisible, like he doesn’t even know where to find her. There’s a sense of sadness and disappointment, but also a hope that he’ll finally see her clearly and stop running.
