Rhythmic Resilience: Unveiling Life's Beats in Son Little's 'Drummer'
Lyrics
Giving me something but I'ma need a little air
Giving me something, but I need some space
You been giving me nothin' but I'ma get it somewhere, I swear
You've been providing nothing, but I'll find it elsewhere, I promise
You been giving me something but I'ma need a little air
You've been giving me something, but I still need room to breathe
You been giving me nothin' but I'ma get it somewhere, I swear
Despite receiving nothing from you, I'll find fulfillment elsewhere, I promise
Giving the drummer some for real
Recognizing and appreciating the drummer's skill and contribution
Giving the drummer some for living
Acknowledging the drummer's role in real-life situations
You could be giving the drummer some
Suggesting that others should also appreciate and recognize the drummer
Giving the drummer some, some forgiving
Encouraging forgiveness and understanding towards the drummer
Giving the drummer some forgiving, ohh
Emphasizing the importance of forgiving the drummer
You been giving me something but I'ma need a little air
Repetition of the need for personal space despite receiving something
You been giving me nothin' but I'ma get it somewhere, I swear
Despite the lack of support, determination to find fulfillment elsewhere
You been giving me something but I'ma need a little air
Reiteration of the need for breathing room despite receiving something
You been giving me nothin' but I'ma get it somewhere, I swear
Despite getting nothing, the commitment to finding fulfillment elsewhere
Giving the drummer something to kill
Providing the drummer with challenges or intense experiences
Giving the drummer some for living
Highlighting the drummer's role in real-life situations
You could be giving the drummer some
Encouraging others to appreciate and recognize the drummer's contribution
Giving the drummer some, some forgiving
Advocating forgiveness and understanding towards the drummer
Giving the drummer some forgiving, ohh
Emphasizing the importance of forgiving the drummer
(Yeah, yeah)
Expressing agreement or affirmation with "Yeah, yeah"
(Yeah, yeah)
-(Yeah, yeah)
-And if you're the brightest star that shines
If you're the brightest star, be careful with your words and actions
Better say them spells just right
The actions you take must be precise and effective
The strings that you pull must all be fire
Metaphorical reference to influencing others positively
Represent this fly empire
Representing a successful and admirable community or group
And if we come dancing by
Encouraging resilience and using metaphorical tools to overcome challenges
And you see them arms getting tired
-Well, lift up and wave your magic wand
-The only thing that's gonna save our lives
-(Yeah, yeah) ooh, ooh
Repetition of agreement or affirmation with "Yeah, yeah"
(Yeah, yeah) ooh, ooh
-(Yeah, yeah) ooh, ooh
-(Yeah, yeah) ooh
-(Yeah, yeah) ooh
-You been giving me something but I'ma need a little air
Reiterating the need for personal space despite receiving something
You been giving me nothin' but I'ma get it somewhere, I swear
Despite the lack of support, determination to find fulfillment elsewhere
You been giving me something but I'ma need a little air
Reiteration of the need for breathing room despite receiving something
You been giving me nothin' but I'ma get it somewhere, I swear
Despite getting nothing, the commitment to finding fulfillment elsewhere
