Thoughts In My Head Lyrics – Polo G

Thoughts In My Head Lyrics Meaning

[Chorus]
In this part, Polo G is talking like he’s drifting away from real life because fame has been around him for so long. He’s saying that chasing goals brought a lot of danger, violence, and memories he can’t erase. When anything bad happens, people point fingers at him, which makes things feel strange and uncomfortable. He feels like he built himself around a fake image, and now he’s stuck with pain and regret from years of trying to be someone else. Gunshots, loud moments, and close calls stay stuck in his mind, and he can’t get rid of dark thoughts, especially when he mixes bad habits like pills and drinking. He also points out how people like to compare themselves to what he does in his personal life, especially how he treats someone he loves, but he’s saying they don’t really understand or match what he puts in. There’s a warning about fake friends or people who switch up as soon as you start rising. He’s basically saying you have to pay attention to the people around you because everyone isn’t really there for you.

[Verse]
Here, Polo G sounds confident about his success, saying he’s been doing well since he was young and made a lot of money. At the same time, he describes how people around him act tough, dress a certain way, and pretend they’re really about the street life, but he knows most of them talk big without actually backing it up. There’s tension and danger everywhere, especially when someone connects with enemies, and once that happens, things can turn deadly fast. He says he can’t just fight it out because life around him has gotten too real, so he keeps protection close, even while sleeping. Arguments aren’t worth his time, and if someone tries to get his attention in a petty way, he’ll ignore it. He mentions how violence happens quickly and quietly, and he doesn’t care what others think about his choices. Then he mentions losing someone close, someone he considered like a brother, and using substances to deal with that pain. It’s a moment showing toughness but also heartbreak, because losing a best friend changes everything, even if he tries to act strong.

[Chorus]
Polo G goes back to those same feelings of being disconnected and overwhelmed by fame. He’s tired of dealing with constant danger and rumors, knowing that people will blame him for anything that happens, whether he’s involved or not. He talks about spending years trying to present a certain lifestyle and attitude, even though deep down it caused emotional scars. Loud, violent moments stick with him, and he hears them over and over in his mind. He’s fighting thoughts he doesn’t want, especially when drügs and alcohol make things heavier. There’s frustration about people watching what he does for someone he cares about and trying to compare themselves, even though they don’t actually do the same work or show the same loyalty. He reminds the listener once again that people love to be around you when you’re winning, but when your situation changes, folks can switch sides quickly. The whole vibe is tense, paranoid, and tired of fake energy, like he’s warning himself and others to stay aware of their surroundings.

[Bridge]
This part feels like advice, almost like someone talking directly to a friend, telling them to focus on themselves and not let anybody hold them back. He’s saying don’t let relationships or friendships stop you from chasing whatever goals you have in your future. You can respect your family, but at the end of the day, even they shouldn’t control your decisions. He encourages grinding, working hard, and actually making plans real instead of just talking about them. Happiness is the main priority, and nobody can live your life for you, so you have to put yourself first. In the background, those earlier thoughts about drügs, comparisons, and emotional struggles are still there, like they never fully go away. It’s a mix of motivation and vulnerability, showing that even while dealing with stress and negativity, you can still push forward and focus on what matters to you.

[Chorus]
He returns again to feeling mentally drained from fame and chaos around him. He talks about how chasing success led to dangerous situations and now he’s constantly being judged or blamed. It feels like life has been a performance, trying to fit an image that has caused pain and left long‑lasting emotional marks. Violent memories replay in his head, making it hard to think straight. He struggles with thoughts triggered by substances, and he uses this moment to show how heavy everything feels in his mind. There’s annoyance at how people compare themselves to what he does for someone close to him, even though they don’t match the level of loyalty or sacrifice. Finally, he gives another warning about watching who you keep around because people can grow with you but still change suddenly, leaving you to deal with the consequences.
