No broke boys
Oh
Ex on the line, just as I suspected
No one really gets over me
I'm unaffected, why would you try to ever put me second?
You just another groupie to me now
I'm out here single, and I need somethin' real
Now I got standards, give a fuck how you feel (Fuck how you feel)
I'm out here single, tell me what's the deal?
Now I got standards, give a fuck how you feel
No broke boys, no new friends
I'm that pressure, give me my tens
Ain't no lie, ain't no shade
Fuck on me, then you know he paid
Looks so good, makes no sense
Bad ass bitch, with my bad ass friends
No broke boys, ain't no shade
Fuck on me, then you know he paid
Run up the cost, 'cause I need me a spender (Okay)
Love is never really for free (No, no, no)
I know you hate to see what you lost
'Cause no one does it better
You'll only find a wannabe me now
I'm out here single (Single), and I need somethin' real (Somethin' real)
Now I got standards (Standards), give a fuck how you feel (Give a fuck how you feel)
I'm out here single, tell me what's the deal? (Tell me what's the deal?)
Now I got standards, give a fuck how you feel (Let's go)
No broke boys, no new friends
I'm that pressure, give me my tens
Ain't no lie, ain't no shade
Fuck on me, then you know he paid
Looks so good, makes no sense
Bad ass bitch, with my bad ass friends
No broke boys, ain't no shade
Fuck on me, then you know he paid
Know he paid
No broke boys, ain't no shade
Fuck on me, then you know he paid
Meaning & Review Tinashe - No Broke Boys
In Tinashe's song "No Broke Boys," the message of self-respect and high standards is clear, especially in relationships with men. She directly states that she’s not willing to waste time on those who can’t provide stability and financial security for themselves. At the same time, it’s not just a materialistic message — she emphasizes the importance of self-sufficiency and confidence. This is all presented through a stylish, confident, and slightly provocative image, which is often seen in her work. The song is not just about money, but also about general standards and self-esteem that everyone should have. It shows that women shouldn’t compete with each other but instead support one another, creating a healthy atmosphere of mutual support. This is an important element in the "girl power" culture, which runs through the entire composition, including the image of Tinashe herself, who shows that she’s not just a beauty, but also a strong, independent woman capable of deciding who deserves her attention.
However, it’s worth noting that the video and song reference more superficial aspects of life, such as trends on body ideals and expectations of men. This contrasts with what Tinashe is actually trying to convey, creating not just shallow entertainment, but also a message that it’s not just appearance that matters, but also inner strength.
Musically, "No Broke Boys" continues Tinashe's evolution as an artist who isn't afraid to experiment and blend different genres. The song is accompanied by a rich beat and stylish choreography, adding extra energy to it. This is not just a song about not tolerating broke guys, but rather a manifesto of confidence and independence presented through modern pop music. Interestingly, many commentators note the return to the 2000s vibe, which can be observed both visually and musically. Despite all the changes in the music industry, Tinashe continues to stay true to her roots and delight listeners with vibrant and memorable work. In this way, her music becomes a real benchmark for those seeking something more than just commercial music. As for the reception of the song itself, it’s clear that it has both fans and critics. One group of listeners admires her confidence and style, while others feel that Tinashe has lost the magic she had in her earlier work. Nevertheless, it must be acknowledged that her music still resonates, and her approach to content creation continues to surprise and inspire.
