Cuz Your Friends Say
Whispers of Wisdom: VeNTUR BRV$$ Unveils Life's Dilemmas in 'Cuz Your Friends Say'
Lyrics
Verse 1:
Opening of the song
White washed bluejeans
Description of white washed bluejeans
Hugging your thighs
Emphasis on the fit of the jeans
Wont let a thought slip out
The jeans keeping thoughts confined
They're snug and confined
Highlighting the snugness and confinement
Been in the wrong side of town
Reference to being in the wrong place
So you're making it right
Correcting the situation and making it right
Wont let your name be known
Keeping identity private
So im telling you mine
Sharing the speaker's own identity
(I say)
Transition to a polite introduction
Nice to make your humble acquaintance
Pleasantly acknowledging the listener
I got franklins
Mention of financial status
Pull up my statements
Referring to financial records
(Yea)
Affirmative response
Turn this money to knowledge
Turning money into knowledge
Pay you mind so you don't change it
Promising to pay attention to prevent changes
White washed bluejeans
Repetition of the description of bluejeans
Hugging your thighs
Reiterating the fit of the jeans
Wont let your heart slip fast
Ensuring emotional guardedness
You don fell for some lies
Noting deception or betrayal
Pre Chorus:
Introduction to a section anticipating changes
So you can tell me when the lights fade
Inviting communication about feelings
If its right babe
Checking if the timing is right
Throw it out there if I caught you on the right day
Encouraging honesty about the speaker's impact
Notice you don't go with any plans just cuz your friends stayed
Observing independence from peer influence
Hoping you don't throw something away just cuz your friends say
Expressing hope for individual decisions
Hook:
Beginning of the chorus
You've lived a lot of life
Acknowledging a rich life experience
Seen the moments fade away
Reflecting on fading moments
Said you had to let them go
Accepting the need to let go
(don't throw something away)
Reinforcing the theme of not discarding things impulsively
I'll spend more than just some time
Promising a significant investment of time
Give you reasoning to stay
Providing a reason to stay in the speaker's life
Put a cap on what you know
Suggesting limitations on knowledge
(don't throw something away)
Reiterating the caution against discarding valuable things
You've lived a lot of life
Repeating acknowledgment of a rich life
Seen the moments fade away
Revisiting the idea of fading moments
Said you had to let them go
Restating the necessity of letting go
(don't throw something away)
Repeating the caution against impulsive decisions
I'll spend more than just some time
Reiterating the promise of significant time investment
Baby Im just really hoping you don't throw something away just cuz your friends say
Closing the chorus with a plea against peer influence
