Ten Lyrics – Offset

Ten Lyrics Meaning

[Intro]
The intro, “Have you ever been to London?” is likely just a casual, rhetorical question meant to set the tone for the song, possibly reflecting the rapper’s experience traveling to luxurious places or living a high-status lifestyle.

[Chorus]
In the chorus, Offset is singing about a woman who is attractive, but also trouble for him. He says she’s “bad,” meaning she’s very attractive, but she’s also not good for him. He also brags that anyone who tries to get over him after they part ways will need to be with a lot of other men—like ten more—before they can forget about him. It emphasizes how confident he is about his own appeal and the impact he has on women, saying that no one will replace him easily.

[Verse 1]
In this verse, Offset is clearly expressing his dominance and self-confidence. He refuses to engage in petty arguments with people he considers beneath him, calling them “peons.” He mentions buying a Cybertruck and comparing himself to Elon Musk, highlighting his wealth and success. He brags about hitting up two attractive women and suggests they’re interested in him enough to want to repeat the experience. Offset also talks about being on a higher level than others and warns people to step carefully around him, suggesting that they could face consequences if they don’t. He confidently states that he’s unapologetic for his actions and has always been a “dog,” referring to his past as a player or womanizer. He ends by mentioning his luxury lifestyle, showing off his wealth, and claiming that people around him know he’s in control.

[Refrain]
In the refrain, Offset repeats that he doesn’t need anyone in his life because he has money. His focus is on his wealth rather than relationships, saying that he loves women but values money more. He even expresses that he treats all his women the same, reinforcing his idea that money and success are his main priorities, and that he doesn’t miss anyone when he has financial security.

[Verse 2]
In this verse, Offset contrasts his actions with someone else’s behavior. He suggests that while he was just casually hooking up with women, the other person was overanalyzing or “nitpicking.” He points out how he’s out there spending money freely on women, which has a different impact compared to the other person’s more cautious approach. He tells them to mind their business and stop questioning his actions, asserting that he lives life his way without caring about others’ opinions.

[Chorus]
The chorus repeats the same ideas from the first one, reinforcing the message that the woman may be attractive, but she’s also bad for him. He says anyone who tries to move on from him will need to be with many other men to even come close to forgetting him. This is a brag about how impactful and irreplaceable he feels, stressing his belief in his own attractiveness and influence on women. The repetition of this part shows how confident and sure he is in his ability to keep attention on himself.
