20syl feat. Rita J Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Y-y-y-yo
Yeah
Far away from home
Ima-im-imagination roams
(Everybody everybody) everybody's wrong
Re-wrote the song
Thoughts become action
Tell me what's happ'nin'
What's your mind wrapped in
Or wrapped around (wra-wrapped around, wra-wra-wrapped around)
What's-what's your mind wrapped in or wrapped around
Psyche sabotage
Your Nike's need a jog
Portraits in the fog
Filter out the smo-o-og
Information log
So fast the past recalls
You back the future stalls
Fade to black the present calls
Pull out some liquor for the homies lost
For the homies, for the homies, for the homies lost
Pull out some liquor for the homies lost
Gone away I'ma make you say in my head
Hella memories (mem-erase)
Yo, yo, yo, yeah
Yo, yo, y-yo
Yo, yeah, yo, yo
Those voices
Those voices
Those voices
Those voices in my head
Those voices in my head
Those voices call
Call
Come and make me sing
Oh-oh
Those voices call
Call
Come and make me sing
Oh-oh
(?) the writing on the wall
It's lovely when the stars all align it'll be fun
Far away from home
Imagination roams
Everybody's wrong
Re-wrote the song
Those voices, Those voices
Those voices, Those voices
Those voices in my head
Those voices in my head
Those voices, Those voices
Those voices, Those voices
Those voices in my head
Those voices in my head
Those voices, Those voices
Those voices, Those voices
Those voices in my head
Those voices in my head
You're too fat you're too thin
You're too small you're too tall
Confidence remindin' all
I probably won't get the call
A pessimist won't take the risk
No, name's not on the list treat it
Take a piss on your dreams heat it
Hard to believe when you don't believe it
You don't need it
It's destined, relapse around a lesson
Miracles, blessing
Oppressed with the stressin'
Forever guessing
Vision blocked
No need for props
The pimpin' stops
Pluckin' and pullin' He Love Me Nots
Stay inside the box the safe locked
You won't be mocked
Fully stocked of excuses
Doin' it is useless
Faithless, popped
The ball was in yo' hands
Slipped and dropped
I cram to understand
Your life flipped and flopped
Cancel all your plans
You just missed your stop
Those voices call
Call
Come and make me sing
Oh-oh
Those voices call
Call
Come and make me sing
Oh-oh
Those voices
Those voices in my head
(?) the writing on the wall
It's lovely when the stars all align it'll be fun
Far away from home
Imagination roams
Everybody's wrong

Re-wrote the song
The lyrics of "Voices" describe an internal struggle, a battle between positive and negative thoughts within one's own mind. The song is about the voices in the singer's head that are constantly weighing them down with self-doubt and negative self-talk, while also acknowledging the power of imagination to break free from these damaging thought patterns. The lyrics encourage the listener to filter out the negative "smo-o-og" and stay focused on their dreams, even in the face of criticism or doubt from themselves or others.
The first verse sets the tone for the rest of the song, with the singer acknowledging that they are "Far away from home" but their "Ima-im-imagination roams." The chorus repeats the phrase "Those voices in my head," emphasizing the internal struggle that the lyrics are focused on. Throughout the song, the singer grapples with self-doubt and questioning their own worth, but ultimately ends on a more positive note, with the final lines encouraging the listener to "stay inside the box the safe locked/ You won't be mocked," and reminding them that "It's lovely when the stars all align it'll be fun."
Overall, "Voices" is a powerful anthem about the importance of keeping a positive mindset even in the face of self-doubt and negativity. The lyrics encourage the listener to focus on their dreams and to not let the voices in their head hold them back from achieving their goals.
