X Factor Lyrics – Lil Tecca

X Factor Lyrics Meaning

[Intro]
This is just a quick, energetic start to set the tone. It gives off a confident, ready-for-anything vibe—like he’s about to go in hard and wants the listener tuned in and focused.

[Chorus]
Tecca is saying he’s the one in charge and people are messing with him like they don’t realize who they’re dealing with. He’s always ready to move, riding around confidently in a two-seater, living fast without panic. He’s not hiding—he’s outside, doing his thing, and girls are into his lowkey, no-nonsense energy. He’s cut off fake people and doesn’t let drama get in his head. Others don’t really get the life he lives, because they’re only half-in while he’s been fully grinding and making money for a long time. He calls himself “alpha,” meaning he leads, not follows. A girl’s saying she needs him now, and he’s been about that wild lifestyle since he was young. No one can say he ever played a small role. He wants people to keep that same energy they had when they were hyped—would they go that hard for what they say they care about? He also watches who he gets involved with—wants to know what she’s really about before he gets serious.

[Verse]
He’s saying that asking too many questions slows things down—you might not always get a direct response, maybe just a quick text. His friend is rolling with serious stuff, possibly weapons, so don’t mess with them. He’s even talking about traveling to the UK and making big noise there, like a performance on *The X Factor* show. If something’s not about money, he’s not interested. He’s tired of wasting time on small talk and just wants to get straight to the money. He mentions a wild moment with a girl and flexes again by pulling up in a Rolls-Royce Cullinan, saying it’s not just a regular luxury car—it’s next level.

[Bridge]
Tecca opens up a bit here. He’s been trying hard, even if things haven’t always been enough. He’s being honest—there’s no reason to lie. He’s telling someone not to cry or stress, encouraging them to let go of fears and keep pushing through life. He’s been through a lot and seen many things, and now he’s at a point where decisions are tough. He knows people will always choose sides in situations, but he’s done overthinking it. He just wants the girl to ride with him and keep moving forward, leaving all the noise behind.

[Chorus]
Again, Tecca’s repeating his message: people are messing with someone they shouldn’t underestimate. He’s always on the move, and his lifestyle is off the charts—but he stays calm in the chaos. He’s very much out in the real world, and girls like that about him. He’s cut ties with nonsense and doesn’t let stress mess with his head. Others are only putting in part-time effort, but he’s always been on the grind. He’s leading the pack, not playing second. A girl says she needs something fast, and he’s always been about action and bold moves. He makes it clear nobody ever looked down on him—he’s always stood tall. He wants people to be as real as they say they are—if you hype something up, would you stand for it, even fight for it? He admires a girl’s looks and vibe but still wants to know who she really is before getting close. He’s always checking if someone’s worth his time or just putting on an act.
