Lyrical Analysis of...
Tell Me What It Means
- ///Verse 1
- Look, I been up late thinking on what we doin'
- Life feel like circles, people losing, not pursuing
- We talk about the real, but most just say it for the views
- Then when its time to act, they ghost like subway blues
- All this talk and little movement, thats the truth we choose
- Heart on my sleeve, but they keep asking for a ruse
- Say they with it till the lights go out, then its back to snooze
- And Im just here trying to show love, not just amuse
- Break it down slow, whats the point if it dont improve?
- Got a pocket full of promises that never hit the groove
- Everybody wanna shout when somethings trending up the news
- But where were all the voices before they needed something new?
- We searching for a meaning like a hole that never fills
- Walking tightropes with no balance, hearts up on the hills
- ///Hook
- Tell me what that means when you say you really ride
- Say you here for all the people but you switch when tides collide
- You say you see the pain inside, but do you show it outside?
- Tell me what that means when the quiet kills your pride
- All love in flashes, then its gone like headlights fade at dawn
- Words hit heavy but the weight aint what you drawn
- If your heart was really open then the proof would stay on
- But we all just caught up in the line, lost and withdrawn
- ///Verse 2
- I aint frontin' on the struggle, I just speak how I feel
- Every day feel like a push, every line gotta be real
- People want the glory now but they cant handle how it feels
- to see a cause and be a part but never know the deal
- They talk like they defenders but they mimic what they steal
- All that noise for nothing, just a spark with no appeal
- You want the badge of being brave but you cant take the zeal
- When it comes to shutting faces down you gotta stay appeal
- So Im here collecting pieces like a dream that never kneels
- Holding on to honest hearts, not just what the camera steals
- ///Hook
- Tell me what that means when you say you really ride
- Say you here for all the people but you switch when tides collide
- You say you see the pain inside, but do you show it outside?
- Tell me what that means when the quiet kills your pride
- All love in flashes, then its gone like headlights fade at dawn
- Words hit heavy but the weight aint what you drawn
- If your heart was really open then the proof would stay on
- But we all just caught up in the line, lost and withdrawn
- ///Bridge
- Keep the beat slow, let it hit the soul, dont rush the feel
- Moments hold the truth, let it breathe before its sealed
- Every time we talk big, but the follow through is nil
- So I chase that purpose, harder than a dollar bill
- No flash, no chase, no empty thrills
- ///Verse 3
- See my mind on something deeper than the shine and hype
- Every bar is like a question, ask yourself whats right
- You say you stand with anyone, you gotta live that life
- Grow the roots before the blossoms, break the ice
- Words alone dont make a statement, action writes
- So we keep stepping forward while the rest just type
- Saying they awake until the morning steals their sight
- Then they fall right back like memories at night
- Im just thinking out loud, trying to paint whats right
- Keep my guard up to the truth, always ready for the fight
- ///Hook
- Tell me what that means when you say you really ride
- Say you here for all the people but you switch when tides collide
- You say you see the pain inside, but do you show it outside?
- Tell me what that means when the quiet kills your pride
- All love in flashes, then its gone like headlights fade at dawn
- Words hit heavy but the weight aint what you drawn
- If your heart was really open then the proof would stay on
- But we all just caught up in the line, lost and withdrawn
