Can’t Find It Lyrics – Lil Poppa

Can’t Find It Lyrics Meaning

Lil Poppa starts by opening up about how he’s been trying hard to find peace but just can’t seem to get there. He’s been covering up how he really feels with flashy jewelry and success, like it’s his armor. Even though it looks like everything came at the right time, it didn’t—he had to hustle and struggle for what he has now. Still, after all the hard work, he hasn’t found true happiness, and that’s eating at him.

He then points out how people are quick to show up when things are going great, but they vanish the moment you hit a rough patch. He leans on loyalty, saying he trusts Caprizi and knows he can always reach out to him. He’s been doing his best to show love to a girl he cares about, but now he’s questioning whether she feels the same. Deep down, he knows what’s really bothering him—it’s the pain of losing someone close, someone he considered a real one, probably a best friend or brother figure.

Next, he talks about needing space and shutting out the world by turning his phone on Do Not Disturb. It’s not like he’s ignoring people on purpose—it’s just that writing music is how he deals with his emotions. It’s his therapy. While people say money doesn’t change anything, he’d still rather face his struggles with money than be broke and hurting. Even though he has more now, things still don’t feel right. People wonder why he’s so quiet and keeps to himself, but it’s because he doesn’t trust easily—too many fake or shady people around him.

It’s early evening and he’s riding out, aware that people are talking and possibly plotting against him. He’s not afraid, though—he’s ready for whatever. He even warns his girl that things could get dangerous. He’s been searching for something—maybe peace, maybe meaning—but no matter where he goes, he hasn’t found it. He also realizes that if he wants to succeed, he’s got to give up a lot, including his freedom. That feeling of being stuck in a cycle is heavy on him.

That hook comes back in, repeating his frustration about not being able to find peace or happiness. Again, he talks about hiding behind diamonds, working nonstop, and still coming up empty emotionally. No matter what he achieves, that emptiness sticks around.

He tries to stay grounded and keep faith, but he knows life is full of stumbles. Even love—something that should be comforting—is hard to hold onto. He feels like there’s not enough love to go around, not even for family. Sometimes, family doesn’t even feel like family, but he stops himself from going deeper into that because he’s already dealing with too much mentally and emotionally.

He’s mixing drügs to cope, which only pushes away the people who care about him. His girl doesn’t like when he’s in that state, and that’s usually when she disappears. He just wants people not to judge him because he’s genuinely trying to fight through it all. He admits he’s doing drügs, hooking up, and feeling lost—he’s stuck in this life and unsure where it’s leading. He questions his connection to God, wondering if he prays enough or maybe even too much. He’s impatient now—tired of waiting, tired of trusting people, and tired of fake love.

Now he’s surrounded by nothing but baby bottles and styrofoam cups, hinting at lean and the lifestyle that comes with it. Another person close to him is gone, and the pain is piling up. He’s trying to stay solid, but people think he’s falling off. He knows he’s got a big heart, but it’s getting harder to hold on. He’s drained, mentally and emotionally, and can’t figure out why he still feels so empty after everything.

He circles back again to the same feelings—no peace, no happiness. The fame, the jewelry, the success… none of it fills that hole. He repeats how he can’t tell if the girl really loves him, and how bad he misses the person he lost. That pain hasn’t gone away, no matter what else changes.
