I dont get these lyrics
 
So I like the flow of Rap in this song

Payphone by Wiz

I would like to sing along with it

But... I dont get it ._.

(Wiz)
Man **** that ****
I’ll be out spending all this money while you’re sittin’ round wondering why it wasn’t you who came up
from nothin’
Made it from the bottom now when you see me I’m stuntin’
And all of my cars start with a push of a button
Telling me I changed since I blew up or whatever you call it
Switch the number to my phone so you never could call it
Don’t need my name on my shirt, you can tell that I’m ballin
Swish, what a shame could of got picked
Had a really good game but you missed your last shot, so you talk about who you see at the top or what you
could of saw but sad to say it’s over for
Phantom pulled up valet open doors
Wished I’d go away got what you was lookin for
Now it’s me who they want so you can go and take that little piece of **** with you

Any ideas? :whythis:

it's pretty literal.

Wiz is talking down on someone from his past. This person is saying wiz khalifa has changed since signing to a major label, wiz is saying he's so successful he doesn't need aforementioned persons approval.

Oh wow thanks dude

It was literal

Ok now I can go listen to it in a morbid way satisfied :yeah:

Don't let Sparky fool you. It's actually a metaphor about the status of Eastern Orthodox holidays in Soviet satellite states in eastern Europe during the cold war.

Uhh...thank you drive through

Moody 12-10-2012 05:22 PM

Okay what about these (the underlined ones):

Ladies and gentlemen, whoa, whoa, whoa
Say, looky looky aw suki suki
Want dem goody goodies? Dat's my pookie tuki G

One gurl, get ya back up off tha wall
Do dat matrix part but don't fall

Aw naw we ain't neva done it
You want a hit? Stamp Sho' nuff on it

(Ladies and gentlemen)
Pay attention
Ciara's what the game been missin'

I ain't come here to play wit yall
And now I don't play no ball, I just ball
Dranks for all y'all Gin gale in it
Put ya cups up, Zin Zale sent it

Bloozcrooz 12-10-2012 05:24 PM

You like them yet you start a thread to help you interpret what the lyrics mean?

Well...these are words, and if elementary school taught us anything, is that we read these in forms of sentences.

Why don't you start listening to good music and start interpreting lyrics from Radiohead or Wilco or any other great band. Trying to decipher Wiz Khalifa's lyrics from a Maroon 5 song is pointless. He has nothing good to say usually besides the fact that his "green" is the best. **** him

FrankBeardjr 12-10-2012 08:17 PM

so glad this thread was here, that song was amazing, and then wiz opened his mouth and was way off topic, not forgetting to mention this push button starter thing that he is clearly amazed with even though they have been on some of the nicer mini vans for ten years now... and kias all have them.... lol this dude cracks me up, yet another horrible rapper to add to the recent years of horrible rappers.

Yes simply because music is really subjective and I am one of the people that just like music sometimes by their meanings and sometimes "just like them"...and I am pretty sure there are many like me or not that would actually be glade to explain these lyrics for me according to their own understanding without trying to implement their own personal judgement of my understanding of things... you feel better now?

I understand that you dont like Wiz music. And me wanting to interpret his lyrics does not mean hes better than any other because music is all the same for me just different circumstances and different people. I just didnt understand what he was talking about but I liked the flow.

It's hard to tell without the careful cadence I'm assuming the artist used, but i think he's saying we don't use drugs, but if you would like a hit we have some for you. uh...ha dude this is so retarded

Aight here im just going to assume the lyrics are transcribed wrong. "gin gale" sounds way too much like ginger ale, maybe the pronounced it incorrect intentionally to match the beat. You can make some pretty nice drinks with ginger ale in it.

Zin Zale LOL wtf no idea
