Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
In the fastlane, I move him over to the right side
Mac-11 lifestyle, burrrt then I hop out
Then burrrt, then it's lights out, I'm spazin' on you right now
Mama's only child, the crack house was my daycare
Ben Franklin got grey hair, see that's that old money
Kenmore stove money, packs on G row money
Ridin' down in that foreign whip color of snow bunny
So Sonny, you a comedian, all your flows funny
Dope funny, walk through the door, she be like "Oh honey"
Plus I got a whip in the lot, that cost me 4 hunnid
Time to come clean up the spot, I'm talkin' detergent
Fuck her then answer my phone, I gotta leave urgent
Everythin' I did in the past was intellectual
Now it's Mr. Gimme-your-section-with-a-extra-booth
Show you what the extra do
Want a four door, so I bought me an extra coupe
One for me, one for me, really ain't no effort to it
Mr. Impeccable, turn you to a vegetable, fuck her on the sectional
Pull on her hair while she's lickin' on the testicles
Sixteen carefully, swag sold separately
Aimin' for the stars, so I fucked her on the balcony
Laid on the floor and I made your hoe come vacuum me
I'm on my Bobby Brown, babe
Put it on me tenderoni
And I got one of you in every town
To put it on me, I'm never lonely
Swimmin' in your hits, babe
And I'm gone like trip, babe
Show out, show out
Show out, show out, show out
It's all about you
It's all about you (everything we do)
It's all about you
It's all about you (everything I do)
It's all about you
Every trapper, ever rapper
Everything I do
Every baller, ever actor
Just wanna impress you
Every actor, every actress
I just wanna trust you
I'm just tryna get you to that mattress
You're the finest that money can't buy
The finest shit that catches your eye, my
Now ball on these bitches
Go and ball on these bitches
Wanna see you ball on these bitches
Baby, ball on these bitches, yeah
The song "Goat" by 2 Chainz ft. The-Dream is a powerful commentary on the state of our society and the tendency to blame external factors for the problems of our world. The lyrics suggest that we often look to music, guns, books, movies, and the internet as scapegoats for the violence and conflict we see around us. However, the true source of these issues lies not in these external factors, but in the choices we make as individuals and as a society. The song urges listeners to take responsibility for their actions and to teach children to distinguish between right and wrong.
The song's title "Goat" stands for "Greatest Of All Time", which is a term commonly used in sports and music to describe a person's exceptional talent and achievements. However, the song uses the term in a more ironic and critical sense, suggesting that our society's obsession with greatness has led us to overlook the more important values of empathy, compassion, and responsibility.
One of the most interesting aspects of the song is its use of imagery and symbolism. The lyrics refer to "images of Light and darkness" and "manifest ideologies", suggesting that our perceptions of good and evil are shaped by the media and technology we consume. The song also mentions the "window to the soul" in children's eyes, implying that we must recognize and nurture their innate goodness and potential.
Another interesting aspect of the song is its blend of genres and styles. The song features a mix of traditional rap beats, R&B vocals, and electronic production elements, creating a unique sound that is both catchy and thought-provoking.
Line by Line Meaning
Let's blame the music world or maybe the gun makers
Let's point fingers at external factors like the music industry or gun manufacturers for the problems in society
What about the books and movies, our scape goats they will be
We often look to blame books and movies when we need a scapegoat for societal issues
Gaze into the cyber realm and its information sea
Take a look at the vast amount of information available online and its impact on society
Images of Light and darkness, manifest ideologies
The internet has both positive and negative forces, and these ideas can manifest into different ideologies
Don't you know that you have the power
We all have the ability to make a difference
Entrusted with your children's lives
As parents, we have a responsibility to guide and protect our children
Let them know that there are no scape goats
Teach your children that blaming outside sources won't solve problems
Teach them well to know wrong from right
Equip your children with knowledge and values to make good choices
Gaze into the children's eyes, behold a window to the soul
Children can give us insight into their thoughts and emotions through their eyes
Images of Light and darkness, inner conflict to behold
We may see conflicting emotions in children that need to be addressed
Government and selfserving people
Politicians and those in power may act in their own interests
have torn apart the heart of the home
These actions can cause harm to families and communities
And now we run in search for excuses
We look for ways to explain these problems instead of taking action to address them
to give account for the monsters we've made
We need to take responsibility for the issues we've created
No scapegoats, no scapegoats!
We need to stop looking for excuses and start taking action
