Wrong Crowd
Navigating the Maze of Wrong Crowd: Jonny Fritz's Anthem of Choices
Lyrics
I've been running in the wrong crowd
I have been associating with the wrong group of people.
Kind of people tell you to sit down and shut yo mouth
These individuals advise you to be quiet and submissive.
The kind of friends that ain't no friends at all
These supposed friends are not genuine; they are just faces in a crowded bar.
They're just some people in a crowded bar
Highlighting the superficial connections found in a busy social setting.
My mama warned me bout these folks
The speaker's mother warned about these people who pretend to be friendly but have hidden motives.
She said they'll smile and laugh at all of your jokes
These individuals may pretend to appreciate you but are not true friends.
We're gonna grab your shoulders and buy you a coke
They may offer superficial gestures like buying you a drink but have ulterior motives.
But in here they're only gonna wanna stuck your boat
In this environment, they are only interested in causing harm or trouble for you.
I've been playing in a playground
Metaphorically, the speaker has been in a situation where stronger individuals bully the weaker ones.
Where the big kids push all the little kids around
Describing a scenario where dominance and mistreatment prevail.
And I'm out admiring em and all of the families
Observing others enjoying their lives while the speaker feels content in the current state.
And I've never been unhappy as I am right now
The speaker ironically claims happiness despite the challenging circumstances.
But my daddy taught me to choose to be
The speaker's father taught the importance of self-determination.
Whoever I wanted to be
Encouraging the speaker to choose their identity and path in life.
Always it hurt me
The process of self-discovery can be painful.
That whoever the hell that it is that I am
Expressing dissatisfaction with the uncertainty of the speaker's identity.
I've been running in the wrong crowd
Reiteration of being involved with the wrong group of people.
Kind of people tell you to sit down and shut yo mouth boy
A reminder of the negative advice received from these individuals.
The kind of friends that ain't no friends at all
Emphasizing again that these so-called friends are not true companions.
They're just some people in a crowded bar
Repetition highlighting the insincerity of relationships in a crowded bar.
The kind of friends that ain't no friends at all
Reiterating that these individuals are not genuine friends.
They're just some people in a crowded bar
Continued emphasis on the superficial nature of connections in a crowded bar.
The kind of friends that ain't no friends at all
Repetition to underline that these people are not true friends.
They're just some people in a crowded bar
Stressing once again the lack of authenticity in these relationships.
The kind of friends that ain't no friends at all
Repeating the idea that these individuals are not genuine friends.
They're just some people in a crowded bar
Underlining the insincerity of connections in a crowded bar.
The kind of friends that ain't no friends at all
Continued emphasis on the lack of true friendship in this social setting.
They're just some people in a crowded bar
Final repetition, reinforcing the idea that these are just people in a crowded bar without genuine connections.
