Chasing Dreams with Shawty Blues: A Soulful Journey
Lyrics
If you was my age were would you be
If you were my age, where would you be
How many out there if you had my talent, ooohhh how good would you be
Questioning the potential success with the listener having the speaker's talent
Some people look at me, can't believe they eyes
People are surprised or impressed when they see the speaker
For the ones that don't know me ya'll, I been doing this thing a while
Asserting the speaker's experience in the music industry to those unfamiliar
Cause I'm a young women that's chasing a big dream
Expressing that the speaker, a young woman, is pursuing significant aspirations
So grateful for all my fans that believed in me with this
Gratitude towards fans who supported the speaker's dreams
Shawty blues, Shawty blues
Reference to the emotional state, possibly related to personal struggles
Still walking in O.T. shoes, they getting bigger everyday
Continuing the journey in the footsteps of someone referred to as "O.T."
I'm taking his music ya'll and I'm doing it my way
Adopting the music of "O.T." and doing it in a unique way
Like to do what I do, if ya didn't know
Expressing enjoyment in what the speaker does
I know my love ones that gone on home smiling down on me and that's for sho
Believing that departed loved ones are watching over and supporting the speaker
Cause I'm a young women that's chasing a big dream
Reiteration of the speaker's ambitious pursuit of a big dream
So grateful for all my fans that believed in me with this
Thankfulness for fans who believed in the speaker and the blues genre
Shawty blues, Shawty blues
Reference to the emotional state, repeating the earlier mention of "Shawty blues"
You know I started this music thing when I was seven years old
Recalling the start of the speaker's involvement in music at the age of seven
Did my dance, got to the floor
Describing a dance performance and reaching the floor
Got on my knees, shrugged my shoulders, did my little dance
Details of the dance, involving kneeling and shoulder movements
Got back up and put that fife, in O.T. pants ya'll, call it the blues
Returning to music, specifically putting a fife in O.T.'s pants, signifying the blues
Started my dance when I was seven years old
Reiterating the start of the speaker's dance at the age of seven
Did what I did and touched the floor
Summarizing a dance routine and touching the floor
Got back up, did my dance
Repeating the dance and getting back up
Put that fife in OT pants ya'll, the blues
Revisiting the blues, symbolized by putting a fife in O.T.'s pants
Shawty, Shawty, Shawty, Shawty Blues
Repetition of the term "Shawty Blues" for emphasis
