¡Mayday! & Murs Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
En el paraíso (dime)
Cárceles de vidrio
Detras del hierro no te me pierdas
Ojala salgas al mar y arena
El mundo que te quiera
La gente dice que nada es "easy"
Por eso pido a quien me bendice
Cuando te vea tremenda pea
Tiramos fiesta hasta al nuevo día
Tu familia aqui te espera
What up, kid? I know shit is rough doing your bid
When it went down, you shouldn't have did what you did
Fuck it bro that's how it go
It is what it is now I'm locked down
Tryin' to get it how I live
What's up with my kid? What's up with my lady?
I heard she out there whylin', is she really going crazy?
Yeah, she trying to bait me into playing shady
Games and change daily
On some "fuck him pay me"
I'm just there for you trying to keep them secure
But she ain't tryna hear it she just
Show me the door
Just like a whore she don't write me no more
They tryin' to give me 10 but I'll be home in 4
Segundo verso como el comienzo
Para los perdidos en el universo
Ojala te llegue
La vida viene con sol y nieve
Se te derrite si no la bebes
No pierdas mucho tiempo
Baila conmigo y nunca te olvido
Como Julieta y otros que han ido
Un mundo parecido
Despierte niño no estes dormido
Que todo cuelga de un pobre hilo
Lo que cargas es un filo
I heard you been tourin' I know you been scorin'
Send me some flicks of them hoes in some Jordans
Yeah, careers scorching, I got you on the gear
Never fear for your portion, fuck the distortion
They trying to get ya soul from ya and run ya down
I'm just hoping you good until ya time comes around
You used to be underground now you on TY
Told em that I know you, but these dudes don't believe me
I remember we would bang on them tables
Now you're getting money and you're signed to a label
Yeah just know we doing everything we can to save you
Keep ya head high and your thoughts with the angels
Un Amor
In "Serge's Song," ¡Mayday! and Murs discuss the difficulties and frustrations of being incarcerated, as well as the importance of friendship and support during difficult times. The song begins with a nostalgic message to an absent friend, expressing a desire to see them again in the paradise of freedom. The imagery of "prisons of glass" emphasizes the isolation and entrapment felt by those who are locked up. The chorus expresses a wish for the imprisoned friend to be safe and happy, and for their loved ones to be there for them when they eventually return.
Murs then takes over for the second verse, discussing his own struggles with the legal system and concerns about his family's well-being. He shares a tense encounter with a partner who is attempting to manipulate and take advantage of him while he is incarcerated, further highlighting the challenges and dangers of life behind bars. However, the chorus reassures the friend that they are not forgotten and that their music career is still thriving, despite their current difficulties. The song ends with a hopeful message of love and support, urging the listener to stay strong and positive.

DON'T KNOW WHAT'S BEING SANG IN THE VERSES? IT'S ESSENTIALLY A ROUGH TRANSLATION OF THE CONVO BETWEEN MURS AND WREK.
FROM WREKONIZE'S FB PAGE:
"Bernz had a beautiful song in Spanish that we wanted to include on the album. The English version of what he's saying is the convo between Murs and I. Hence that basically is your translation"
@StrangeMusicInc
Ando Nesia There are 5 of us that run the YouTube, Instagram, Twitter and Facebook pages. We have a social media department that manages most of it, and a couple of video crew people who do things on YouTube and FB too. ^S^
@tehjamerz
Strange Music Inc need a 6th? get at me..
@huhitsbrandon

@lilwayne3210
Strange Music Inc
Are individual artists' twitters run by artists themselves or by the social media dept?
@Doomroar
TheZerch CheapGames ???? = que me cuiden a mi pana
part 2
???? = y otros que han ido
@Flatline716
the power Strange has in todays music industry, to speak on something with meaning like this is purely Anghellic.
@NicKatz
This is dope. The versatility of MURSDAY is going to be what makes it an amazing album.
@DjLaserShark
Here's a rough translation of the 2 Spanish verses. The dashes are either words I couldn't understand, or didn't know how to translate literally since it's slang, but it still gets the point across.
"Hello my friend, It's been a long time since I've seen you in paradise. Glass prisons... within the iron, don't lose yourself. Hopefully you come out to the beach and sand - to a world that loves you. People say that nothing is easy; that's why I ask he who blesses me to take care of me ---------- . Next time I see you ---------- we'll throw a party until a new day. Your family awaits you."
"Second verse - like the beginning, for those lost in the universe. I hope it gets to you. Life comes with sun and snow. It melts (on you) if you don't drink it. Don't waste too much time. Dance with me and I'll never forget you. Like Juliette,
-------. A similar world. Wake up, child. Don't sleep; everything hangs from a single thread. What it carries---------. "@joshualee7332
