Montero
Lil Nas X Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You hit me with a call to your place
Ain't been out in a while anyway
Was hoping I could catch you throwin' smiles at my face
Romantic talking? You don't even have to try
You're cute enough to fuck with me tonight
Lookin' at the table, all I see is weed and white
Baby, you livin' the life, but nigga, you ain't living right
Cocaine and drinking wit' your friends
You live in the dark, boy, I cannot pretend
I'm not fazed, only here to sin
If Eve ain't in your garden, you know that you can
Call me when you want
Call me when you need
Call me in the morning
I'll be on the way
Call me when you want
Call me when you need
Call me out by your name
I'll be on the way, like
Mm, mm, mm
Mm, mm, mm
Ayy, ayy
I wanna sell what you're buying
I wanna feel on your ass in Hawaii
I want that jet lag from fuckin' and flyin'
Shoot a child in your mouth while I'm ridin'
Oh-oh, why me?
A sign of the times every time that I speak
A dime and a nine, it was mine every week
What a time, an incline, God was shining on me
Now I can't leave
And now I'm actin' hella elite
Never want the niggas that's in my league
I want to fuck the ones I envy, I envy
Cocaine and drinking wit' your friends
You live in the dark, boy, I cannot pretend
I'm not fazed, only here to sin
If Eve ain't in your garden, you know that you can
Call me when you want
Call me when you need
Call me in the morning
I'll be on the way
Call me when you want
Call me when you need
Call me out by your name
I'll be on the way, (oh) like
Call me by your name
Tell me you love me in private
Call me by your name
I do not care if you lying
The lyrics of Lil Nas X's song Montero explore themes of desire, sin, and indulgence. The opening lines suggest that the singer has caught a case of longing or infatuation for someone, evidenced by their willingness to go over to this person's place despite not having gone out in a while. The singer is hoping to see the person smile at them, but it's not clear whether this hope is fulfilled. The second stanza suggests that the person the singer is interested in is a heavy drug user and drinker, living a reckless lifestyle that the singer both admires and critiques. While the person may seem to be "living the life," the singer suggests that they are not "living right."
The chorus repeats a phone number, teasing the listener with the offer to be available whenever they want or need the singer. The singer states that they are only there to sin, suggesting a lack of commitment or deeper connection to the person they are singing to. The third stanza sees the singer expressing their desires more explicitly, desiring to be physically intimate with the person and indulging in "fucking and flying." The line "Shoot a child in your mouth while I'm ridin'" has been interpreted by some as a provocative nod to the idea of oral sex and semen as a metaphor for reproduction. The final stanza once again critiques the other person's lifestyle, suggesting a dichotomy between a life of sin and one of piety or grace. The singer is willing to overlook the other person's faults and lies as long as they are able to call the singer by their preferred name in private.
Overall, the song Montero deals with themes of desire, temptation, and indulgence, exploring the blurred boundaries between sin and righteousness.
