“Me, Myself & I” by G-Eazy, featuring Bebe Rexha, is all about self-reliance and personal growth. G-Eazy paints a picture of determination, hustle, and the isolation that can come with fame. It’s about sticking true to one’s self even when the world gets wild around you.
Right from the start, “Woooh, it’s just me, myself and I / Solo ride until I die,” G-Eazy is clear about riding solo and being his own support system. He ain’t lookin’ for anyone’s help, asserting, “I got me for life” because he’s confident in his abilities and inner strength.
The verse kicks off with G-Eazy declaring his need for “privacy” and “a whole lot of tree,” pointing to the pressures of fame and his way of dealing with it. When he raps, “Fuck fake friends, we don’t take L’s, we just make M’s,” he’s brushing off haters and flexing his success, emphasizing he and his circle set trends and make moves.
Bebe Rexha joins in on the hook, reaffirming the theme of independence: “I don’t need a hand to hold / Even when the night is cold / I got that fire in my soul.” Her lines echo the sentiment that inner passion will keep you warm through tough times.
G-Eazy continues to shed light on the darker sides of fame, “I don’t like talking to strangers / So get the fuck off me, I’m anxious.” He juxtaposes the thrill of success with loneliness and anxiety, eventually finding solace in music and the lifestyle, even though it’s dangerous.
In the bridge, he reflects on the grind, “Know I’m great but I’m broke as hell / Having dreams that I’m folding cake,” highlighting his humble beginnings and unwavering drive. His determination shines through his assertion, “I’ma get it now, yeah it’s no debate,” emphasizing that his success isn’t up for discussion.
The repetition of the hook and the outro reinforces the main message: self-reliance and the power of music to sustain and satisfy. “I don’t need anything to make me satisfied / ‘Cause the music fills me good and it gets me every time” wraps up the song neatly, showing that passion and dedication fuel his journey.
