Dropout
Rising Beyond: A Musical Journey of Self-Discovery and Empowerment
Lyrics
Don't be disappointed
Expressing the need for someone not to feel let down.
Imma make you proud mama
Commitment to making one's mother proud.
Show the world what you brought up
Intent to showcase to the world the upbringing received.
Always said to be faithful
Recalling advice to maintain faithfulness.
If I got some dreams chase em'
Encouragement to pursue dreams, regardless of challenges.
Ou
An interjection or pause in the expression.
I'm gonna, I'm gon' make you proud
Reiteration of the determination to make someone proud.
I'll be an inspiration to future generations, oh
Aspiring to be an inspiration for future generations.
My Amayah Mae
Reference to a person named Amayah Mae, possibly significant.
Oh what a beauty you are
Complimenting the beauty of Amayah Mae.
Make sure you reach for the stars
Encouragement to aim high and achieve ambitious goals.
Imma do this for myself
Declaration of pursuing personal goals.
It’s for my own well-being
Stating the pursuit is for one's well-being.
Spent so much time pleasing you
Acknowledgment of dedicating considerable time to please someone.
I swear I’ll need you see it’s
Commitment to one's needs, possibly indicating self-realization.
About my growth, about my pain
Focus on personal growth and overcoming pain.
About the passion that keeps me sane
Recognition of passion as a source of sanity.
Not about pleasing the man who’s a coward
Contrast between personal growth and pleasing a cowardly figure.
The one who’d choose how much I’m paid
Rejecting subjugation by someone controlling earnings.
You think that you’re suffering
Challenging someone's perception of suffering.
I guess that you haven’t seen me
Asserting personal strength not easily perceived by others.
I bleach my pillows in agony
Metaphorical reference to personal struggles, possibly related to skin-bleaching.
They’ve seen my tears
Objects witnessing emotional distress.
They’ve heard me yell
Objects experiencing vocal expressions of pain.
That I’d rather be in hell
Expressing a strong aversion to causing distress to someone.
Than do something to make you cry
Choosing artistic expression over actions causing emotional pain.
Drop out make melodies and write
Decision to drop out, create music, and write melodies.
