Busy
Embracing the Urban Hustle: Oscar Welsh's 'Busy' Vibe
Lyrics
If it's in south don't bell me I'm busy,
If someone is in the southern part, don't call me because I'm occupied.
I ain't in the mood, Don't know bout you
I'm not in the mood; unsure about your feelings.
Zoom through the city
Moving quickly through the city.
Could be cooking up beats in the kitchen,
Possibly creating music beats in the kitchen.
Don't bell me I'm busy,
Reiterating not to call because of being busy.
Running for the tube, late night commute
Rushing to catch the subway, part of a late-night commute.
I'm busy but I'm free on the weekend
Busy during the week but available on the weekend.
She's pissed off (fucks sake)
A woman is upset (expressed frustration).
Never said much,
Minimal communication in the relationship.
We just freaked sheets like a bed bug,
Intimate moments were shared, similar to bed bugs in sheets.
And her drink is outrageous,
Her drink is extravagant or excessive.
So I stole her grey goose and I duck duck,
Stole her expensive alcohol and played on the phrase "duck duck" playfully.
I made a beat on Nintendo,
Created a music beat using a Nintendo device.
808 lazy as fuck,
The beat has a laid-back, lazy style, especially the 808 sound.
Flat in the city no rental,
Owns a flat in the city, not rented.
Only way up,
Expressing determination that the only way is up.
You say too much,
You talk too much, contrasting with the speaker who makes things seem easy.
I make it look easy,
Portrays a sense of making difficult tasks look effortless.
Got a brew and a ciggie
Enjoying a drink and a cigarette.
If it's in south don't bell me I'm busy,
Repetition of line 1 - emphasizing being busy in the south.
I ain't in the mood, Don't know bout you
Reiteration of not being in the mood and uncertainty about the other person.
Zoom through the city
Repetition of zooming through the city, possibly emphasizing the fast-paced life.
Could be cooking up beats in the kitchen,
Repetition of the possibility of creating music beats in the kitchen.
Don't bell me I'm busy,
Reiteration of not wanting to be called due to being busy.
Running for the tube, late night commute
Repetition of rushing for the tube and a late-night commute.
I'm busy but I'm free on the weekend
Repetition of being busy during the week but free on the weekend.
Spinning that Stevie,
Listening to Stevie Wonder while using a specific turntable model (Nu TT 200).
On my Nu TT 200
The music is loud, and the speaker is feeling sleepy.
Loud and I'm sleepy,
Mention of being on "kiwi," possibly slang or a substance.
When I'm on the kiwi,
Expressing a lack of trust.
Never trusted
Empty line - no specific content.
She a buzzkill like a biller,
Disapproval of not liking when the speaker plays music by J Dilla.
Oh you don't like it when I play dilla,
Uncertainty about a tube, affecting the speaker's mood negatively.
Don't know bout a tube,
Reiteration that disapproval is affecting the mood.
You're killing my mood,
Empty line - no specific content.
I make it look easy
Reiteration of enjoying a drink and a cigarette.
Got a brew and a ciggie
Empty line - no specific content.
If it's in south don't bell me I'm busy,
Repetition of line 1 - emphasizing being busy in the south.
I ain't in the mood, Don't know bout you
Reiteration of not being in the mood and uncertainty about the other person.
Zoom through the city
Repetition of zooming through the city, possibly emphasizing the fast-paced life.
Could be cooking up beats in the kitchen,
Repetition of the possibility of creating music beats in the kitchen.
Don't bell me I'm busy,
Reiteration of not wanting to be called due to being busy.
Running for the tube, late night commute
Repetition of rushing for the tube and a late-night commute.
I'm busy but I'm free on the weekend
Repetition of being busy during the week but free on the weekend.
