Pity This Boy Lyrics Meaning

[Intro]
The artist calls himself a “black sheep,” meaning he’s different from the rest and doesn’t conform to society’s expectations. “Izgaaju ’til we kpeme” suggests living recklessly or boldly until death. He references “Antiworld gangsters” and “GE records,” representing his crew and label. The word “stubborn” reinforces his defiant nature, and “Niphkeys keys” likely credits the producer.

[Chorus]
The singer talks about how people constantly ask him for money, using tricks to get him to pay. He feels like an outsider even in his own home and gets insulted despite helping others. Even his family—his parents and grandmother—are part of the problem. However, his love interest (“Shima”) comes first. The line about people knocking on his door shows how people are always coming to him for money. “Agberos” (street hustlers) are already handled, and he will pay his debts regardless.

[Verse 1]
The artist talks about how money is a major part of his life, even to the extent of people asking him for cash to harm someone. He only associates with women who like shopping and luxury brands. Even though some women don’t want to gain weight, they still demand money like those who love excessive spending. The artist also mentions that people in his area constantly come to him for money—some genuinely need help for school and food, while others waste it on vices like drügs and partying.

[Chorus]
Again, he repeats that people should feel sorry for him because of the constant financial burden placed on him. The chorus emphasizes his frustration with how everyone expects him to provide, even when they don’t appreciate him. He feels like an unwanted guest but still has to endure insults and pressure.

[Verse 2]
Victony describes a woman living abroad (“obodo oyibo”) who expects him to send her money regularly. Even though she’s far away, she still depends on him financially. Meanwhile, local women also demand expensive things, preferring designer brands over anything else. He references different places like Addis Ababa and Bahamas, symbolizing a flashy, international lifestyle. “Balling on balling” means constantly spending and enjoying wealth, but he also hints that this isn’t entirely a choice—it’s just the life he’s caught up in. “Calculate your numbers” suggests being mindful of financial responsibility.

[Chorus]
Once again, the chorus reinforces the theme of financial pressure. The artist expresses how he is tired of people constantly expecting money from him. Even his family members don’t spare him, but despite all this, his priority is still his love interest and maintaining his status. The repetition of people knocking on his door symbolizes how never-ending the demands are.

[Outro]
The outro continues the theme of money, with someone asking for “kala” (money) to take extreme action. He also reiterates that he doesn’t associate with women who don’t like shopping, reinforcing the materialistic lifestyle described throughout the song.
