I Got Married
フェイス・エヴァンス & ノトーリアス・B.I.G. Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴
I said "who in tarnation did you marry?"
He said "oh, she's a nice girl. Oh, mom, you're gonna like her! She's the daughter you never had."
I'm not gonna tell you what I said to him because to me personally every beautiful woman that he saw,
He was gonna marry them.
I said "you know what? I'm not ready for this yet so I think you better keep her away from me."
Now almost every night before I [?] "may I speak to christopher"
Such a calm, calm voice
"This is faith."
"Faith?" I said "gosh, this must be the wife."
So I said "faith? Do you know to whom you're speaking?"
She said, "miss wallace?"
I said, "yes," and I said "may I ask you another question?
How would you feel you got married and your husband keeps calling your house
And you don't identify yourself or acknowledge me as a mother, you as a wife.
How do you think your mother would feel?"
And she goes, "i know how you feel, but christopher told me stay away from you."
Hahahahahaha
I said, "to be honest with you, I did, I did tell him that"
The aforementioned lyrics are a conversation between the singer, who is the mother, and her son about his recent marriage. The son excitedly tells his mother that he got married, and when she asks who he married, he describes the girl as a nice girl and someone that the mother will like, even referring to her as the daughter the mother never had. However, the mother is skeptical of her son's claims because he tends to see beauty in every woman and wants to marry them all. She expresses her hesitation and asks her son to keep his new wife away from her for the time being.
Later on, the mother receives a call from a woman named Faith, who has a calm voice. The mother initially assumes it must be her son's wife, and so she asks Faith if she knows who she is speaking to. Faith confirms that she is aware that she is speaking to Miss Wallace (the mother), but she also mentions that her husband, the son, told her to stay away from the mother. This leads to a moment of laughter between the mother and Faith, as they both acknowledge the son's amusing but slightly misguided attempt to navigate their relationship.
Overall, the lyrics highlight the humorous and somewhat chaotic nature of this unconventional marriage and bring attention to the son's naive and impulsive behavior when it comes to relationships. The mother's stern yet lighthearted approach to discussing the situation emphasizes the love and understanding she has for her son, despite his quirks.
