Should i go
겜읊뒈(Brandy) Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Wondering if it's all that important to me,
To get my records back out there on the street,
It aint like I'm hurting or anything
I'm to the point right now where money aint an issue,
I can roll where I want and what I wanna do,
Tempted to leave it in my rear-view, because this game aint what I'm used to
Should I stay?
I'm in control either way,
Should I go?
Should I stay?
I'm in control either way,
Should I go?
Should I stay?
I'm in control either way,
Should I go?
Should I stay?
I'm in control either way,
There used to be a few artists at a time,
Now even the veterans are waiting in line,
Premature release of these albums online,
Making it hard for real entertainers to shine,
If you manage to defeat these odds against you, keep doing your thing 'cause I'm not mad at you-ooh ooh,
Just tryna figure out where I fit in to,
All Of This Now Or If I Do
Should I go? (oooooooh)
Should I stay? (no no)
I'm in control( ye) either way, (oh)
Should I go?
Should I stay?
I'm in control either way,
Should I go?
Should I stay?
I'm in control either way,
Should I go?
Should I stay?
I'm in control either way,
This industry was more like a different world,
When it was just me, monica and babygirl.
(Aaliyah) I never got to tell you how much you meant.
I wish you and me both were sitting here working with Tim.
Just to be in the presence of people that you affected,
On a personal level just makes me stop for a second... (enhales),... (exhales)
You were such a blessing,
You only answered one of my questions.
Should I go?
Should I stay?
I'm in control either way,
Should I go?
Should I stay?
I'm in control either way,
Should I go?
Should I stay?
I'm in control either way,
Should I go?
Should I stay?
I'm in control either way,
Well I gave it some time,
And I made up my mind, move over this is my time,
B-rocka is back on the grind.
Whoa, ohhh ohhhhh whoa ohhh ohh whoa ohhh ohh ohh ohh whoa oh oh ohh whoa ohhh
Should I go?
Should I stay?
I'm in control either way,
Should I go?
Should I stay?
I'm in control either way,
Should I go?
Should I stay?
I'm in control either way,
Should I go?
Should I stay?
I'm in control either way,
Whoa ohhh ohh ohh whoa ohh
The lyrics to "Should I Go" by Brandy reflect the artist's contemplation about the music industry and her place in it. She questions whether it is important for her to continue releasing records and competing in a game that has changed since she first entered it. Brandy acknowledges that she is in a position where money is not a pressing issue, so the decision about whether to continue in the industry is solely hers. She hints that the industry has become more competitive and that it is hard for real entertainers to stand out in the crowd, especially with premature album releases online.
The song also pays tribute to fellow artists who have passed away, namely, Aaliyah. Brandy mentions that Aaliyah had a significant impact on her life, and she wishes they had worked together before her untimely death. The song suggests that even though the industry has changed, the legacy of real entertainers lives on and continues to affect people on a personal level.
In general, the lyrics suggest that Brandy is trying to come to terms with her place in the industry and figure out if she still wants to pursue music. The repeated refrain, "Should I go, Should I stay," reflects her internal turmoil as she weighs her options.
