This track delves into the complex dynamics of a secret relationship. Tyler, the Creator portrays himself as a 'third wheeler' or 'side-better,' indicating he's involved with someone who is already in a relationship. He promises to keep their affair hidden, preserving the other person's 'best interest.' The lyrics suggest an internal struggle; while he's willing to play this role temporarily, he acknowledges it's not sustainable long-term. The song also hints at societal pressures and judgment with references to paparazzi and public perception. Ultimately, it's a poignant exploration of unrequited love, secrecy, and the emotional toll of being 'the other man.'
BEST INTEREST
Lyrics
(I want a grilled cheese)
Darling, darling, darling
It's no need to worry
It's just a couple things
(Just a couple things on my mind, ya know?)
If it's you and other
It's no need to worry (no need to worry)
'Cause I can sleep between you
I'm a third wheeler
I'm a side-better
I'm a homewrecker
Give it up
I'm a third wheeler
I'm a side-better
I'm a homewrecker
Give it up, give it up, give it up
I'll keep it in your best interest
I'll keep it in your best interest
I'll keep your best interest
I'll keep your best interest
I was, I was, I was, I was out here playing games
You was out here with a lame one
(I can play your side nigga real easy, but not for too long)
I'm the, I'm the, I'm the, I'm the side nigga
I gotta sneak around and hide with you
I wanna see you give me five minutes
Paparazzi probably got like five pictures
(Click, click, click, click)
I won't tell anybody, it's our secret
Top, top, top, top of the morning like yeehaw
I took my shot, this is b-ball, nigga
The team you play for is see-saw
So I know that it's fake when I see y'all
Don't wanna fuck what you got up
I will never blow your spot up
I know my place, I'm the landlord
I carry the weight 'til my hands sore
We can't keep doing this
I'll keep it in your best interest, it's our secret
I'll keep your best interest
(I can play the side nigga real easy, but not for too long)
(Oh shit)
(Let it hit, let it hit, let it hit)
(A'ight, let it hit)
