Lyrics
I don't care if I'ma make
I am indifferent about achieving success.
It, I'ma hurt, hurt, hurt
I am willing to endure pain.
My mama told me I was born to swerve, swerve
My mother informed me that I was destined to navigate challenges skillfully.
Swerve
Reiteration of the determination to swerve through difficulties.
Don't make it feel, just say the truth
Be honest rather than sugarcoat the situation.
I was outside countin' all
I spent time outdoors tallying my troubles.
These fuckin' blues
Feeling overwhelmed by emotional distress.
I was strangled in the car
Experiencing a suffocating feeling while in a car.
And then it flew, flew, flew
Escaping from a difficult situation, possibly through flight or avoidance.
My mama told me it's alright
Reassurance from the mother that everything will be fine.
But then it grew, grew, grew
A problem or challenge intensifying over time.
Make it work, there's no excuse
No justification for not making things work.
I was on my field day
Engaging in a search for answers and solutions.
Searchin' for the clues
Actively seeking clues or information.
And we like going to church, church, church
Enjoying the act of going to church.
My jacket got 10 grams and
A jacket with drugs (10 grams) and a small bird symbolizing something valuable.
A lil' bird, bird, bird
Repetition of the notion of having a bird.
Is it true that you put money on your scars?
Asking if it's true that one values their scars by putting money on them.
Bartender got my name written
The bartender remembers the person's name.
In her damn head
Indifference towards others' opinions or judgments.
I don't care, 'cause I was born to swerve
Reaffirmation of the determination to navigate challenges.
Baby, it's okay, we made it through the dirt
Acknowledging that challenges were overcome, and it's acceptable.
And it's March, 21, 22, 23
Referring to specific dates, possibly significant events.
The weeks just pass like days
Time passing quickly, feeling like days are fleeting.
Ah, yeah, to what degree
Expressing uncertainty about the extent or level of something.
I don't care if I'ma make
Repetition of not caring about achieving success.
It, I'ma hurt, hurt, hurt
Reiteration of willingness to endure pain.
My mama told me I was born to swerve, swerve
Recalling the mother's advice about navigating challenges.
Swerve make it feel, don't say the truth
Emphasizing the importance of making it feel real rather than just stating the truth.
I'm too blissed right now to understand you
Feeling too happy or content to comprehend someone else.
I was strangled in the car
Repetition of feeling suffocated in a car.
And then it flew, flew, flew
Escaping again, possibly from a challenging situation.
My mama told me it's alright
Reassurance from the mother that everything is okay.
But then it grew, grew, grew
A problem or challenge growing in magnitude.
Say that you're in town
Asking someone's location and inquiring about the groove or rhythm.
Where's the groove? Footloose
Referencing the movie "Footloose" and expressing a desire for freedom or movement.
And I'm dancing on this thin
Dancing on thin ice metaphorically, facing risky situations.
Ice, like I'm who, who, who?
Questioning one's identity or existence.
