Lyrics
Sitting here soul
Sitting in a reflective or contemplative state
Searching
Seeking or looking for something
Drinking honey whiskey bourbon
Drinking a combination of honey, whiskey, and bourbon
I don’t feel like it’s working anymore
Feeling that the action of drinking isn't providing the expected result or satisfaction anymore
And the the lord knows I’m not perfect
Acknowledging personal imperfection
But I pray i won’t keep hurting
Hoping not to continue causing pain or harm
Cuz it’s deeper than the surface nobody knows
Expressing that the situation or feelings are complex and hidden from others
Don’t worry
Assuring someone not to worry
Ill be on my way in a hurry
Planning to depart quickly
Speeding through the lights Kentucky durby
Speeding through an area akin to the Kentucky Derby
100 on the dash
Driving at a high speed (100 mph)
And I’m going super fast getting blurry
Moving very rapidly and losing clarity or focus
Boy they lurking
Aware of people watching or observing negatively
Haters on my ass so I’m swerving
Adjusting actions to avoid the negative attention or interference
Keep that thunder in the bag
Keeping something powerful or impactful at hand for potential moments of anxiety or fear
In case I'm nervous
(Repeated line; same meaning as line 16)
Keep that thunder in the bag
-In case I'm nervous
-Sitting here soul
(Repetition of the beginning lines)
Searching
-Drinking honey whiskey bourbon
-I don’t feel like it’s working anymore
(Repetition of the feeling that the action of drinking isn't providing the expected result or satisfaction anymore)
And the lord knows I’m not perfect
(Repetition of acknowledging personal imperfection)
But I pray i won’t keep hurting
(Repetition of hoping not to continue causing pain or harm)
Cuz it’s deeper than the surface nobody knows x2
(Repetition emphasizing the depth of emotions or situation hidden from others)
