I Mean It (Dupe) Lyrics – Lil Uzi Vert

I Mean It (Dupe) Lyrics Meaning

[Chorus]
In the chorus, Lil Uzi Vert is expressing his deep love for someone, repeatedly telling them that he loves them and he truly means it. However, he admits that he struggles to show this love because he’s dealing with his own internal battles or “demons.” Despite this, he senses that the person might be thinking about leaving, though he feels possessive, almost as if they belong to him. He can’t stop thinking about them and feels connected, even if the relationship is uncertain or complicated.

[Verse 1]
In the first verse, Lil Uzi Vert reflects on how often the person he loves is on his mind. He mentions his lifestyle, where he often spends time with women who enjoy luxury trips like to Bora Bora or Cabo. He describes one of these women, Jaya, who’s Jamaican, and shows off his wealth by mentioning how he stands on his money. He talks about his power and influence, hinting at the effect money has on people, and refers to a fun, carefree vibe of riding motorcycles with women. He ties his actions and success to his image of being someone who lives a fast, rich, and exciting life, while dealing with his emotions.

[Verse 2]
In the second verse, Uzi talks about his ability to make women excited, even to the point of getting them to sing high notes. He mentions a girl trying to get attention by being around him and going viral, suggesting she wants fame. Uzi feels like he’s always being influenced by his inner struggles, calling them “demons” that affect his music. His mother sees him as a bit crazy or unpredictable, as he’s always changing and dealing with these internal conflicts.

[Chorus]
The second chorus repeats the same feelings expressed in the first one. Lil Uzi Vert continues telling the person he loves them, emphasizing that he truly means it, even though it might not be easy for him to show it. He is still fighting his inner battles, which make it harder to connect fully. He feels the person might be thinking about leaving, but he doesn’t want to let go, constantly thinking about them despite knowing they aren’t truly his. There’s an emotional connection that he can’t escape, even though the relationship feels uncertain.

[Verse 3]
In the third verse, Lil Uzi Vert talks about his extravagant lifestyle, mentioning how he buys expensive clothes and spends a lot of money. He also expresses his desire for material things and instant gratification, such as getting money quickly. Uzi suggests that he can easily make money back, even if he spends it all. He briefly talks about being pursued by women, especially those with certain physical attributes. He mentions the pressure and possible conflict with others who might challenge him, hinting at potential confrontations with people who try to mess with him.

[Verse 4]
In this verse, Uzi emphasizes how fast money can come, with the example of driving a fast car. He expresses a desire for quick success but also acknowledges that steady, slow money is better than no money at all. The focus is on the hustle and the importance of making money while staying consistent in efforts, encouraging others to keep pursuing their financial goals.

[Bridge]
In the bridge, Lil Uzi Vert addresses a girl who’s been in and out of his life. He mentions that he’s had her before, but now she’s causing trouble by calling him and hanging up, then calling back. It seems like there’s some back-and-forth going on, but he isn’t willing to chase after her anymore. He realizes she does this to everyone and, as a result, he’s distancing himself. He’s not falling for the game anymore and is choosing to step back instead of getting involved in the drama.

[Chorus]
The final chorus repeats the same emotions as the previous ones, highlighting the internal struggle Uzi faces. Despite loving someone and meaning it, he can’t always show it because of his personal demons. He feels that the person he loves might be considering leaving, but he refuses to let go, constantly thinking about them. His love is strong and genuine, but his emotional battles make it hard to connect fully. He expresses a sense of longing and emotional attachment that continues to weigh on him throughout the song.
