Do My Bidding
Echoes of Resentment: Love, Loss, and Redemption in 'Do My Bidding'
Lyrics
What's up buddy?
Greeting or casual inquiry
I'm about to sing a sad song
Expressing the intention to sing a sad song
You wanna say hi to everybody?
Inviting others to acknowledge
Ghost speak, (Snarls)
Imitating ghost sounds
Speak, (Barks)
Imitating dog barking
Good boy
Positive acknowledgment to a dog
You know what my dog says, that I cannot say
Referring to undisclosed dog communication
Had me lookin' when I star gazed back up in the day yeah
Reflecting on past experiences of looking at stars
That's just how I feel when talkin', I've forgotten
Expressing forgetfulness in conversations
Vengeful over love I got resent for
Feeling vengeful due to past love experiences
Hands full so I'm hoping God will do my bidding, time is ticking
Hoping for divine intervention in managing life
I show up and clean her pipes, she knows me as the plumber
Metaphorical reference to intimate relationship
In love with the finest things like fine wine in the summers
Desire for luxurious and fine things
I wanna go fly and sing this louder than the thunder
Expressing a desire for freedom and loud expression
Try me and I'll turn your occupation to a runner
Warning that actions can change someone's occupation
Sent you flowers and you sent back problems
Symbolic gesture of sending positive things but receiving problems
Guess that's life when you living at the bottom
Acceptance of challenges while living at a low point
Fully expected you to make it out and blossom
Expectation for someone to overcome difficulties and flourish
Always blame me but you the one that starts them
Blame shifting and acknowledgment of starting conflicts
Lights out in the city, where the power?
Reference to a power outage in the city
With me baby you know it's my hour
Claiming a moment of influence or control
My late night voice is what arouse her
Stating that late-night voice has a stimulating effect
And not to mention,
Transition to another point
You know what my dog says, that I cannot say
Reiteration of undisclosed dog communication
Had me lookin' when I star gazed back up in the day yeah
Reflecting on past experiences of looking at stars (repeated)
That's just how I feel when talkin', I've forgotten
Expressing forgetfulness in conversations (repeated)
Vengeful over love I got resent for
Feeling vengeful due to past love experiences (repeated)
Hands full so I'm hoping God will do my bidding, time is ticking
Hoping for divine intervention in managing life (repeated)
Wish I never met you
Expressing regret about meeting someone
Lot of hurting in my heart, but I don't want to miss you
Acknowledging emotional pain but expressing a desire to move on
Got to move along now it's time for my debut
Indicating a transition to a new phase or opportunity
Droppin' lot of tears, I just wipe 'em with the tissue
Admitting to shedding tears but managing emotions
Life keeps on going, ups and downs like we rollin'
Philosophical reflection on the continuous journey of life
Winters cold, it's been snowing
Describing a cold and challenging season
Ice cold face, but I'm knowing
Acknowledging emotional resilience despite challenges
That it's gon be okay,
Expressing optimism and reassurance
That I'm gon be alright if, you hold me close in silence
Desiring emotional closeness and comfort
I'm not dying anytime soon no no no no,
Asserting a sense of longevity and perseverance
Anytime soon cuz I'm giving all my best in hopes I wake up happy
Expressing commitment to giving the best for a hopeful future
In hopes I wake up happy
Reiterating hope for a happy awakening
