Discover the story of the song > Betrayed – 21 Savage

The protagonist in these lyrics talks about being betrayed and hurt in the past. He says he's been played with and left alone in the rain with nowhere to go. Because of these experiences, he feels like less of a man and can't trust women who use him for their own gain. He also talks about how his brother died and how he found his own path in life. He doesn't care if he's in a war or just having sex with women, as long as he's loyal to them. He wants to be with a woman who is a hard worker and trustworthy. He tells her that he doesn't care what she does in the streets as long as she doesn't make him look foolish. The protagonist also talks about his own success and how he's not just a rapper with fake lyrics. He has money and fame and can buy expensive things like plain Jane Richard watches. He also mentions having guns and being involved in violence. He says that other rappers aren't as good as him and can't be successful like him. The protagonist ends by saying that he's been betrayed in the past, but he's still holding down the women in his life, whether it's in war or in intimate relationships. He wants a hustler and honest woman by his side.
