Mess Me Up
Lost in the Groove: Unraveling Life's Chaos in 'Mess Me Up'
Lyrics
I been working for the city, been workin overtime
I have been employed by the city and working extra hours.
Bossman makin dollars, I been making dimes
The boss is earning a lot while I'm earning very little.
Locked in a prison, never committed the crime
Feeling trapped or confined without having committed any wrongdoing.
I can't make no sense of it
Feeling unable to comprehend or understand the situation.
Got a hole in my hand, an old rusty spoon
I have a tool but it's ineffective or damaged.
I been digging a hole from here to the moon
Engaged in futile or endless efforts, trying to achieve something impossible.
Prayin judgement day's a come real soon
Hoping for a final judgment or resolution to come soon.
I can't make no sense of it
Still feeling confused or unable to understand.
Stoke my fire
Feeling an urge to ignite or intensify something within oneself.
I gotta move
Sense of needing to take action and make a change.
Follow the smoke baby
Encouragement to follow something captivating or enticing.
Get lost in the groove
To immerse oneself fully in a particular rhythm or experience.
Cmon mess me up
Desire or plea to be disturbed or affected emotionally.
This world it mess me up
Feeling that the world is causing emotional disruption or distress.
My woman ran across the county line
The speaker's partner has left the area, influenced by drugs and alcohol.
She's all lit up on pills and ripple wine
Describing the partner as being under the influence of substances.
Coulda chased her down but I ain't got the time
Unable or unwilling to pursue the partner due to other priorities.
I can't make no sense of it
Continuing to feel perplexed or unable to comprehend the situation.
Children in the city hooked on vice & sin
Depiction of children in the city involved in immoral behavior.
Hollow inside ain't got no soul within
Feeling empty or devoid of emotions or spirituality.
Strung out on lies and suffering
Being controlled by deceitful information and undergoing pain.
I can't make no sense of it
Continuing to feel perplexed or unable to comprehend the situation.
Stoke my fire
Feeling an urge to ignite or intensify something within oneself.
I gotta move
Sense of needing to take action and make a change.
Follow the smoke baby
Encouragement to follow something captivating or enticing.
Get locked in the groove
To be fully engrossed or absorbed in a particular rhythm or experience.
Mess me up
Desire or plea to be disturbed or affected emotionally.
This whole world it mess me up
Feeling that the entire world is causing emotional disruption or distress.
