Mississippi
Exploring Emotional Turmoil and Longing in Kevin Abstract's "Mississippi
Lyrics
You gon' find out that I'm not myself
You will discover that I am not true to myself
In this winehouse, all my dogs need some help
In this state of intoxication, my friends need assistance
What I'm crying 'bout when I'm all by myself
Reflecting on what makes me cry when I am alone
Long nights at the Mission Inn, long nights at the Mission Inn
Spending long nights at the Mission Inn
You gon' find out that I'm not myself
Reiterating the idea that I am not being genuine to myself
In this winehouse, all my dogs need some help
Highlighting the need for support in this intoxicated state
What I'm crying 'bout when I'm all by myself
Revisiting the introspective moments of solitary crying
Long nights at the Mission Inn, long nights at the Mission Inn
Continuing to spend extended nights at the Mission Inn
Don't get me, uh, don't get me, uh
Cautioning against misunderstanding, especially with a reference to Mississippi love
Don't get me twisted with your Mississippi love
Emphasizing the need to avoid confusion with a particular type of love
Don't get me, uh, don't get me, uh
Reiterating the warning about misinterpretation
Don't get me twisted now, boy, get me twisted now
Stressing the importance of clarity in understanding
Don't get me, uh, don't get me, uh
Restating the caution against misconceptions
Don't get me twisted with your Mississippi love
Re-emphasizing the need to avoid confusion with Mississippi love
Don't get me, uh, don't get me, uh
Repeating the warning against misinterpretation
Don't get me twisted now, boy, get me twisted now boy, boy
Underlining the importance of not getting things twisted
In the street in some Texas heat, and us down the road from my cousin, now
Describing a scene in the streets in hot Texas weather, close to Mexico
Dance some more, close to Mexico and I tell my boys that I left 'em, uh
Recalling dancing and distancing oneself from family
My feelings go when your feelings show
Expressing the transient nature of feelings
That's the stuff that always come and bless you now
Acknowledging that challenges often come as a blessing
Now you're pushin' my lovin', now you're pushin' my love
Someone is challenging the singer's love
Tell me what you gotta do to try to keep it (next bar)
Inquiring about the efforts required to maintain the relationship
Tell me what I gotta do to try to keep it (ne-ne-ne-next bar)
Repeating the question about the necessary actions to sustain love
Tell me all the ones you know to have you down since '99
Referring to a long-lasting connection since 1999
Do you wanna be my boyfriend, my Mississippi sunshine?
Possibly asking if the person wants to be the singer's boyfriend, the sunshine of Mississippi
Big wedding, this brother basketball so late in the park with them
Describing a significant event like a big wedding and playing basketball late in the park
My feelings don't mean nothing whenever we arguing
Stating that feelings become insignificant during arguments
I'm drunk in the backseat, tryna figure out how I can get out this bitch
Being inebriated in a car, contemplating how to escape
Do you wanna be my boyfriend, my Mississippi sunshine?
Repeating the question about being a boyfriend, the Mississippi sunshine
Don't get me, uh, don't get me, uh
Reiterating the warning against misunderstanding, particularly in Mississippi love
Don't get me twisted with your Mississippi love
Restating the need to avoid confusion with Mississippi love
Don't get me, uh, don't get me, uh
Repeating the caution against misinterpretation
Don't get me twisted now, boy, get me twisted now
Emphasizing the importance of not getting things twisted
Don't get me, uh, don't get me, uh
Reiterating the warning against misconceptions
Don't get me twisted with your Mississippi love
Stressing the need to avoid confusion with Mississippi love
Don't get me, uh, don't get me, uh
Re-emphasizing the warning against misinterpretation
Don't get me twisted now, boy, get me twisted now boy, boy
Underlining the importance of not getting things twisted
Mississippi, Mississippi love
Affirming Mississippi love as a central theme
(And I play it so much, I build nigga)
Suggesting repeated play of the song to build connection
Mississippi, Mississippi love
Reiterating the theme of Mississippi love
(And I play it so, I play it so)
Emphasizing the frequency of playing the song
