WANT MY NAME Lyrics Meaning

[Intro]
The intro is Playboi Carti’s hype chant “Yeah, schyeah,” expressing energy and confidence.

[Verse]
In this verse, Carti is repeatedly emphasizing his desire to be recognized and remembered. He wants his name to be known, suggesting he’s worked hard to earn his fame. The repetition of “I want my name” shows his deep yearning for recognition. He also talks about his unique status in the game, asserting that he is “one of one,” meaning there’s no one like him. The line “I’m gonna kill ’em” could refer to him dominating the competition. His confidence shines as he refers to himself as one of the greatest, signaling his belief in his own superiority.

[Chorus]
In the chorus, Carti is speaking to someone he’ll meet “outside,” possibly referring to handling things face-to-face. There’s an element of detachment as he repeats being “psyched out,” indicating a state of mind that’s both intense and perhaps a little disconnected from reality. He continuously asks, “What’s my name?” reinforcing his need for validation and attention. It’s as if he wants people to recognize his presence.

[Verse]
This verse seems to shift focus onto his relationships and interactions. Carti mentions a woman trying to post his face, implying she’s seeking attention or fame by associating with him. The reference to cash and vacation suggests a lifestyle full of luxury and indulgence. He also calls himself “the new mayor,” implying he’s become a major figure in his scene. The line “Blonde b!tch, young gothic” seems to describe his style or the kind of people around him. He acknowledges the scars he’s gained from his experiences, suggesting he’s been through struggles, but still maintains his confidence.

[Chorus]
The chorus repeats the same themes of the earlier one: meeting someone outside, being in a psyched-out state, and constantly asserting his name. This repetition reinforces Carti’s obsession with recognition and his desire to remain at the top of his game. It highlights his mindset of being focused on his own identity and reputation.

[Outro]
The outro is a final, intense repetition of “What’s my name?” and “I want my name,” echoing his hunger for acknowledgment. It’s almost as if he’s reminding both himself and everyone else that he deserves attention. The outro re-emphasizes his desire for validation, as well as the idea that he will keep pushing for recognition until he gets it.
