‘Gettin’ Older (feat. YoungBoy Never Broke Again)’ by Jas Von is a song about growing up, heartbreak, and trying to stay strong when life gets tough. We’re going to break down the meaning behind the lyrics and why this track hits so hard for so many people. ⬇️

The mood of the song is heavy and raw, soaked in feelings of pain, defiance, and isolation. Jas Von and YoungBoy paint a world where love has died, trust feels dangerous, and every year adds another layer of armor over their hearts.

The chorus pulses with a kind of reckless wisdom—“And now I’m only gettin’ older / And now my heart’s been gettin’ colder.” We hear the sting of lost innocence, a refusal to surrender even as the weight of the world grows heavier; “I’d rather be raising hell till them blue lights find me” becomes a rallying cry for those who’d rather live wild than let heartbreak win. We can practically feel the rubber burning as they speed away from the past, cold glass between them and everything they’ve left behind.

In the verses, the vulnerability cracks through the bravado: “Scared to trust, scared of love,” Jas admits, while YoungBoy confesses to feeling like a “wounded soldier.” Lines like “I left my heart in the streets / Nobody come saving me” reveal how the tough exterior is really just a shield—pain is still there, simmering under every line, every late-night drive, every glass raised in defiance or regret.

The song’s narrative is a restless road trip through memories and mistakes, haunted by betrayal and fueled by a desperate need to outrun the ache. When YoungBoy raps, “Through the mountain driving fast in a Tacoma / It ain’t over,” we sense the urgency—time won’t slow down, and neither will they, no matter how long the road gets or how cold the world feels outside those tinted windows.

“Gettin’ Older” isn’t just about aging—it’s about the ice that forms around our hearts after too many losses, and the wild hope that maybe, just maybe, burning bright and burning out are better than letting pain turn us to stone.
