Indecision
Journey of Indecision: MONEYPHONE's Reflections on Life, Love, and Risk
Lyrics
Seatbelts, seatbelts in between my legs
Reference to having seatbelts between the legs, possibly a metaphor for protection or being cautious.
My mama worried when a nigga gon' end up dead
Mention of the mother's concern about the narrator's safety and potential death.
But so what? Nigga, I can't really worry
The narrator dismisses worries, expressing a carefree attitude.
I just keep my self sustained with dreams of making some money, nigga
Dependence on dreams of making money to sustain oneself.
I might ride, I might slide on the way to your crib
Possibility of visiting someone with physical injuries (fat lip, ribs showing).
With a fat lip and skin poking out of my ribs
Description of the narrator's physical state, emphasizing vulnerability.
I'm a young dude, young nigga, Vaseline
Self-identification as a young person with a reference to Vaseline, possibly indicating smooth or glossy skin.
Skin shining, baby, we could be the winning team
Suggesting a potential successful partnership or relationship.
This might be the last time
Possibly a realization that a decision needs to be made.
Indecisions of a past life never helped me out
Reflecting on past indecisions that didn't benefit the narrator.
I'm going where the sun shines all day
Desire to move towards a brighter future where the sun shines all day.
I'm going where the sun shines all day
-This might be the last time
-Indecisions of a past life never helped me out
-I'm going where the sun shines all day
-I'm going on the run now
Expressing the decision to go on the run, possibly seeking change.
Young, black and I'm arrogant, roses smellin' so flagrant
Addressing arrogance, the importance of taking risks, and rejecting indecision as a path to wealth.
Indecision ain't never gon' make a nigga rich
-Risk it all for the hell of it, family needed the benefits
-Indecision ain't never gon' make a nigga rich
-If we get it, we earned it, put my life on the burner
-Indecision ain't never gon' make a nigga rich
-Holy Spirit my dividend, never livin' in fear again
-I don't need a man to make a nigga fuckin' rich
-This might be the last time
Reiteration of the desire to move towards a brighter future despite past indecisions.
Indecisions of a past life never helped me out
-I'm going where the sun shines all day
-I'm going where the sun shines all day
-This might be the last time
-Indecisions of a past life never helped me out
-I'm going where the sun shines all day
-I'm going on the run now
-This might be the last time (this might be the last time)
Repeating the theme of this possibly being the last chance to make a change.
Indecisions of a past life never helped me out
-I'm going where the sun shines all day
-I'm going on the run now
-(I'm going on the run now)
-I never last long if I kiss my ego
Reflection on the consequences of succumbing to ego and the uncertainty when success diminishes.
When the silver stops shining, where do we go?
-I was sixteen, never had no passport
Personal history, past experiences, and the importance of family and friends.
Never at the gym shooting shots off backboards
-Always kept two sets of keys in my back pocket
-Used to feel like the man when I got to talking
-I was twenty-two, trippin' off a fucking bean
-Tryna get this vision, been enamored since I was a teen
-Need my baby, need my family, all my siblings, shit
-All my family stuntin', riding out with all my friends and shit
-Things may get hard day to day and I'm sorry
Acknowledging life's challenges, expressing empathy, and finding solace in the knowledge that one is not alone.
Goddamn, how'd this world get so cold?
-Going gets tough living life in the backseat
-But I know I'm never alone
-Things may get hard day to day and I'm sorry
-Goddamn, how'd this world get so cold?
-Going gets tough living life in the backseat
-But I know I'm never alone
