Journey Through Divine Reflections: MONEYPHONE's Dashboard
Lyrics
Touch down from the light
Arrival from an illuminated or enlightened state.
Come back from the dead
Returning from a state of being thought of as 'dead' or stagnant.
Give sight to the blind
Metaphorically granting understanding or insight to those who couldn't see or comprehend.
Baby, I feel divine
Expressing a sense of divinity or extraordinary connection.
I feel divine
Reiterating the feeling of divine or exceptional connection.
Treat the music like the Tesla, I'm swerving
Comparing the handling of music to driving a Tesla car, suggesting a fluid and skillful approach.
That skrrt skrrt, reverse it, like Missy I work it
Referencing a Missy Elliott lyric, displaying skill and confidence in handling music.
I can't drive, I'm honest, my mama wear bonnets
Admitting inability in driving, acknowledging a maternal figure's habits, possibly emphasizing honesty.
She livin' too far for a young nigga callin'
Expressing distance from someone important due to geographical barriers.
I told her fuck college, my uni to masters
Rejecting traditional education, aiming for personal mastery and success.
Might fuck on these masters and retire with David
Intending to engage with influential figures and retire with recognition.
That's for when we famous, my face on dashboard
Aspiring for fame, envisioning personal success and visibility.
I'm drunk when I'm acting, I'm acting a fool
Indicating recklessness under the influence, possibly losing self-respect.
My dignity hanging, that's for all my ancestors
Honoring ancestors, acknowledging a sense of shame or dishonor.
Trauma did damage, that's from all my ancestors
Recognizing generational trauma and its impact on personal experiences.
R.I.P. father
Offering respects to a deceased father figure.
These days, I thank Christ that the old man didn't bother
Grateful for the absence of a negative paternal influence.
Touch down from the light
Repetition of the earlier verses emphasizing a repeated sense of arrival, return, insight, and divine connection.

-And it's like
Reflections on faith, relationships, belief, and the importance of presence in those relationships, contemplating the depth of personal faith and its connection to others.
I think I've always cared, like, so much about my friends
-And not necessarily like big groups, and you know, all that
-I've had, like my two best friends for years
-Faith from the inside out and faith from the outside in
-Is based in an immediate neutral hope amongst myself and amongst those around me
-A faith that depended on the responsibility to believe
-Faith
-Trusting in things we pursue with ambition and tenacity
-Pursuing things that I want to pursue in life
-Comes with a lot of faith
-By determining how long, how far I'd have to reach for that person to be there
-So my faith was in presence
-Faith was in knowing that you're here
