Lyrics
Jet life
Expressing a lifestyle associated with luxury and freedom.
I'm living life like a rock star
Living a life characterized by excess and glamour.
Oh how I really wanna go far
Expressing a strong desire to achieve success and go far in life.
From here
Desire to move away from the current situation or place.
And Cool Cats, riding the town like they own it
Describing confident individuals who act like they own the town.
Well that is something I will never get
Expressing a sense of exclusion or inability to attain a certain lifestyle.
Oh I will never get that
-And I do believe, I do believe
Expressing emotional pain and a belief that others don't understand it.
That no one feels this pain
-Inside of me
-Dead tired dead tired dead tired from all of this
Repetition of being extremely exhausted physically or emotionally.
Dead tired dead tired dead tired from all of this
-Dead tired dead tired dead tired from all of this
-Dead tired dead tired dead tired from all of this
-Well I'm jet life
Expressing a laid-back and cautious approach to life, attempting to rebuild.
Slow life
-Picking up the broken pieces of
-My life
-Tentative, hesitant bid God it all looks positive
-It's a shame about the world, though
Expressing disappointment and frustration with the state of the world and people's attitudes.
Lost dreams and no tomorrows
-It's a shame
-it's such a stuff up
-You know it wouldn't be if we all weren't so stuck up
-Cos we know nothing at all
Reflecting on human ignorance and vulnerability in the face of natural forces.
If we did we'd realize that we're so small
-One shake of the earth
-One spit of the sea
-We'll be squashed up bugs beneath God's feet
-I said, all I have are believers
Pondering the distinction between believers and dreamers, questioning one's own identity.
Said, all I have are believers
-Are you a believer
-Or are we all just dreamers
-Dead tired dead tired dead tired from all of this
Repetition of extreme exhaustion, suggesting a recurring and overwhelming struggle.
Dead tired dead tired dead tired from all of this
-Dead tired dead tired dead tired from all of this
-Dead tired dead tired dead tired from all of this
-While the rest of the world is fighting
Criticizing the senselessness of war and the unfairness of young lives being cut short.
In a war that no one survives in
-Young men are siffed before they've even lived
-Well that doesn't seem fair to me
-And Daddy's at home, he's angry
Addressing misconceptions about ownership and control, particularly in parent-child relationships.
Cos his son's no longer his property
-Well, Man you had the wrong perception
-Cos he was never your possession
-And woman walk around with mace in their bag
Expressing disbelief and frustration about societal issues, including violence against women and economic concerns.
Just a piece of meat, waiting to be tagged
-Well I can't believe this happens in my land
-I can't believe the value of the Rand
-Jet life
Encouraging a proactive and humble approach to life, suggesting that inaction could lead to the world's deterioration.
Everybody's striving for a good life
-Ain't nothing gonna happen if you sit around and waste time
-You gotta move, you gotta prove, you gotta stay humble
-Or this world will surely crumble
