Girl, you really got a hold, woo
The chorus of Childish Gambino's "Me and Your Mama" focuses on the love and passion that the singer feels when he is smoking marijuana with his significant other. The repetition of "I’m in love when we are smoking that la-la-la-la-la" reinforces the intensity of the emotion he feels. The line "Do what you want, I’m telling you, let me into your heart" refers to his desire to be closer to his lover and to know her more intimately. The lines "Can’t stand it, backhanded/They wanna see us falling apart" suggest that there are external forces trying to come between them or cause problems in the relationship. The emotive repetition of "Let me into your heart" drives home the singer's desire to connect.
The second verse continues with the singer's plea to be let into his lover's heart fully. The line "I know where you've been" implies that she may have gone through some difficulties or struggles, but that he still loves and accepts her. The line "This is the end of us/Sleeping with the moon and the stars" may be a reference to a new beginning or chapter in their relationship, where they are starting fresh. The line "Oh, this ain't no bullshit" emphasizes the sincerity of his feelings, and how genuine his desire to be with her is.
Overall, the song is about the singer's love and devotion for his significant other, even in the face of external challenges. The symbolism of smoking together represents a kind of shared intimacy and connection, perhaps indicating that the two characters share a similar lifestyle or way of looking at the world.
