Banana
Phantom Yellow: A Dancer's Tale
Lyrics
Ayy, what up? Uh, shawty, she a dancer
Introduction, greeting, and acknowledgment of a girl who is a dancer.
She from the Bay, but that booty from Atlanta
Describing the girl's origin (Bay Area) and emphasizing her attractive features.
She a Cancer, she said he's so handsome
Revealing the girl's zodiac sign (Cancer) and complimenting the guy's looks.
In a Phantom yellow like banana
Describing a luxurious car (Phantom) in a yellow color, drawing a comparison to a banana.
Ayy, what up? Uh, shawty, she a dancer
Repetition of the first four lines for emphasis and rhythm.
She from the Bay, but that booty from Atlanta
-She a Cancer, she said he's so handsome
-In a Phantom yellow like banana (skrt)
-We all opposite, was in that bih
Expressing contrasts, challenges faced, confidence, success, and appreciation from a significant other.
Could take no breath, ain't have no oxygen
-Pumpin' that bih and I'm transformin' like I'm Optimus
-I'm gettin' that money all eight ways just like a octopus
-That Presidential Rollie on my mind, Obama shit
-Pick up that phone for me, baby, like a congressman
-A lot to lose but I don't worry, I got confidence
-And my bitch say she proud of me, I wear my Prada fit
-In my city I'm a neighborhood hero
Declaring local popularity, showcasing wealth with jewelry, resilience after a loss, and criticism of prioritizing fame over money.
40 pointers look like rocks up in my ear lobes
-I took a loss but I'm still ballin', Tyler Herro
-They'll take the clout over some money, y'all some weirdos
-Shawty, she a dancer
Reiteration of earlier lines, emphasizing the girl's attributes and the luxurious car.
She from the Bay, but that booty from Atlanta
-She a Cancer, she said he's so handsome
-In a Phantom yellow like banana
-Ayy, what up? Uh, shawty, she a dancer
-She from the Bay, but that booty from Atlanta
-She a Cancer, she said he's so handsome
-In a Phantom yellow like banana (skrt)
-Ayy, what up? Uh, shawty, she a dancer
Repeating the structure with slight variations for musical repetition and emphasis.
She from the Bay, but that booty from Atlanta
