Number 2 Lyrics – Lil Tecca

[Intro]
Yeah, yeah (Alright), oh
Yeah, yeah, oh (Alright)
Yeah, yeah, oh

[Chorus]
I don’t know if it’s you, I could tell the truth, I’m not in the mood, yeah , yeah
Tell me how you feel, tell me if it’s real, but that’s nothing new, yeah, on God
Bring that s*it together, I could be the glue, I could be the tool (I could be)
Now you tryna run the show, tryna be my main, but you number two, yeah, woah
Every time they went and tried or something, it’s a man down, man down, man down
Better not bring your lil’ ho around, ’cause she fanned out, fanned out, fanned out

I don’t know where I would be today if I never went and took a chance now
But I know I had it planned out, still going, we not even here now

[Verse]
B!tch, I be on my own s*it
Yeah, b!tch, I be on my own time
Oh, that’s your shawty? Then how we still linking?
How come I hit that s*it both times?
Asking me questions, “Tec, you really want me?”
Keep it a buck, I’m like “No, why?”
Baby, I’m not one of those guys
I need the guap and that soul tied
Yeah, see those, costed me couple Gs
C-notes to see me on the scene
You getting taxed if you not on the team
I do the most, but it’s showing a fee
It probably take a lot to tolerate me
It’s obvious, they love to change with the seasons
Only one life, I got only one reason
Said I do it, b!tch, I’m doing it, beasting

[Chorus]
I don’t know if it’s you, I could tell the truth, I’m not in the mood, yeah, yeah
Tell me how you feel, tell me if it’s real, but that’s nothing new, yeah, on God
Bring that s*it together, I could be the glue, I could be the tool

Now you tryna run the show, tryna be my main, but you number two, yeah, woah
Every time they went and tried or something, it’s a man down, man down, man down
Better not bring your lil’ ho around, ’cause she fanned out, fanned out, fanned out
I don’t know where I would be today if I never went and took a chance now
But I know I had it planned out, still going, we not even here now, yeah

[Outro: Rhegan Coursey]
They’re ’bout to play my song
They’re ’bout to play my song

[Intro]
The intro sets the tone for the song with repetitive affirmations, suggesting confidence or excitement about what’s to come.

[Chorus]
Tecca expresses uncertainty about a relationship, questioning the authenticity of his partner’s feelings while asserting his own disinterest. He presents himself as someone who could provide stability (“be the glue”) but dismisses the other person as secondary (“number two”). The chorus also touches on past experiences where attempts at relationships resulted in failure (“man down”), cautioning against repeating those mistakes.

[Verse]
In this verse, Tecca emphasizes his independence and self-centered attitude. He boasts about his ability to attract women, even those associated with others, indicating a lack of emotional attachment. He values material wealth (“guap”) and status, implying that these are prerequisites for his attention. Tecca portrays himself as demanding yet aware of his own worth, suggesting that those who cannot meet his standards will face consequences.

[Chorus]
The second chorus reiterates Tecca’s skepticism about relationships and his focus on personal success. He acknowledges the risks he took (“took a chance”) but affirms his determination to continue moving forward. Despite past setbacks, he remains confident in his ability to navigate life on his own terms, indifferent to the opinions or desires of others.

[Outro: Rhegan Coursey]
The outro signals anticipation or excitement, possibly indicating satisfaction with the song’s message or anticipation of its reception by listeners. Rhegan Coursey’s voice adds a contrasting touch to the end of the song, suggesting a shift in perspective or mood.
