Questions
Unraveling Life's Puzzles: Allan Kingdom's 'Questions' Meaning
Lyrics
If you got questions, questions
If you have questions or uncertainties
Damn, damn
An expression of astonishment or frustration
I got left, I got left
Referring to being left or abandoned
If you not restin', restin'
If you are not resting or at peace
Damn, damn
Expression of astonishment or frustration, repeated
I don't know what to say to you
Feeling uncertain about what to say
'Cause you don't know what I gave to you
Addressing a lack of understanding about the speaker's contributions
If you got questions, questions
Reiteration of having questions or uncertainties
Damn
Expression of frustration or surprise
I got left, I got left
Repeating the feeling of being left or abandoned
So if you're not restin', restin'
If you are not resting or at peace, repeated
Damn, damn
Expression of astonishment or frustration, repeated
I don't know what to say to you
Feeling uncertain about what to say, repeated
'Cause you don't know what I gave to you, yeah
Addressing a lack of understanding about the speaker's contributions, repeated
Dualin'
Engaging in a conflict or competition
Don't repel it
Not resisting or repelling something
Feeling something, I'm gon' tell it
Expressing the intention to reveal a feeling
These assumptions have one dwellin'
Assumptions lingering or residing in one place
I'm the dot com
Referring to oneself as the dot com, possibly in the context of technology or modern communication
These days we ain't chilling but you log on
Not spending leisure time together but connecting online
Just to keep the memory float
Maintaining memories and connections despite challenges
Remember we spoke?
Recalling past conversations
Not specifically aimed at the dames or the lames, nor the elderly folk
Not directed towards specific groups but addressing a wide audience
But everyone in between who was lost in
Being lost in a situation or state of mind
Tried to shed some light on em often
Attempting to provide insight or understanding frequently
Daddy gone, but mommy was awesome
Despite the absence of one parent, the other was remarkable
Some brothers had crack ones, gone ones
Some individuals lost to negative influences or situations
I just tried to speak to em, to keep laughing
Trying to bring joy or laughter to others
That's cool, not all a good fraction
Recognizing that not everyone will respond positively
I just tried to shed some light on a little insight
Attempting to provide insight or understanding
Although now we don't talk, they're asking "yo
Despite not maintaining communication, others are inquiring about the speaker's passion
Where'd my passion go?"
Wondering where the passion has gone
We called that boy crazy, maybe I'm irrational
Others labeling the speaker as crazy or irrational
Like, yo
A realization that it's okay, and a new day will come
It's okay, you'll see a new day, and do it better, yo
Encouraging optimism and improvement
Still wouldn't think it at night
Despite the encouragement, there are still uncertainties and fears at night
Shaking in my sweater, though
Experiencing anxiety or fear, possibly metaphorically represented by shaking in a sweater
I got questions, questions
Reiteration of having questions or uncertainties, repeated
D-damn, d-damn
Expression of frustration or surprise, repeated
I got left, I got left, left
Repeating the feeling of being left or abandoned, repeated
You're not restin', restin'
If you are not resting or at peace, repeated
D-damn, d-damn
Expression of astonishment or frustration, repeated
I don't know what to say to you
Feeling uncertain about what to say, repeated
'Cause you don't know what I gave to you
Addressing a lack of understanding about the speaker's contributions, repeated
