Lyrics
Yeah
Expression of agreement or acknowledgment
She tellin' me I should cruise
She suggests that the speaker should relax or take it easy
I came fast just like the news
The speaker reached the destination quickly, likened to the speed of news delivery
Like the news
Repetition emphasizing the speed or immediacy of the speaker's arrival
Like the news
-Like the news
-I'm like where ya parents at she like, "they not back till two
The girl informs the speaker that her parents won't be back until 2 AM
Back 'till two
Repetition emphasizing the specified time of the parents' return
Back 'till two
-Back 'till two
-Her clothes just fell to the floor like what you gonna do
The girl's clothes fall to the floor, suggesting an intimate moment
Gonna do
-Gonna do
-Gonna do
-I heard someone right down the stairs
The speaker hears someone downstairs; it's not the expected time
It definitely ain't two
-It ain't two
-It ain't two
-She like "oh damn, they usually, usually, usually, usually always on time
The girl comments on her parents' usual punctuality
I guess they not this time round
The parents are not on time this time, creating uncertainty for the speaker
I'm like "Oh great! What do I do, do I do, do I do, do I do right now
The speaker contemplates what to do in the current situation
(Hey hey) I hit the drain pipe, yeah watch me slide
The speaker escapes through a drain pipe to avoid a possible encounter
It's going down
Describing the events unfolding in the summertime
It's going down in the summertime, in the summertime
-You can bring it on yeah hey hey
Encouragement to bring challenges on
You know I'ma feel myself, I'll feel myself
The speaker expresses self-confidence and self-appreciation
These moments, they won't let you pass it by, let you pass it by
Moments in life shouldn't be missed or ignored
We can change the weather hey hey
Positive outlook on changing circumstances
When I get my money right
Anticipation of financial improvement
Get that money right yeah
-On the I-10, I hit the gas, hit the gas, hit the gas, all the way to the show
The speaker speeds to a show venue on the I-10
Hey hey oh no here come the po'
A police encounter is anticipated
They like "don't rush, don't rush"
Advising not to rush or drag; resisting authority
Huh yeah I tell them like "don't drag me, what's the fuss"
-Yuh I'm like "uh oh hey officer badadudu deduda daduda on time to the show
The speaker explains being on time to the show despite police intervention
You know how that go"
The speaker is familiar with handling such situations
He like "damn son, you must be high, must be high, must be high, must be high
The police officer questions the speaker's condition and asks him to step out
Hell nah, get out the car, you ain't no star
-You goin' down"
Anticipation of consequences or trouble
Downtown in the summer time, in the summertime
Describing events downtown during the summer
You can bring it on yeah
-(Hey hey) you know I'ma feel myself
The speaker continues to express self-confidence
I'll feel myself, these moments
Reiteration of not missing important life moments
They won't let you pass it by, let you pass it by
Positive attitude towards changing circumstances
We can change the weather, hey hey when I get my money right
Anticipation of financial improvement
Get that money right yeah
