I Believe
Alex Hepburn Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
If it's only dull can I keep my soul?
Yo I don't even know, I struggle just to cope
Hanging by a thread and you hang a rope
I'm more than just the numbers on the paycheck
Working hard on pay just to live less
Oh my God I'm waiting for the recess
I need this
'Cause I believe I'll be free
One day I'll be free
Maybe I'm smokin'
That good shit
I believe I'll be free
One day I'll be free
No matter what time
The present ain't need my mind
Mama always said just enjoy the ride
The grass ain't always greener on the other side
Well
But, I don't got no power, these concrete jungle bars
And I don't see no grass unless I'm smoking it
Takes more than just the numbers on the paycheck
Working hard on pay just to live less
Oh my God I'm waiting for the recess
Give me strength to change the things, I need this
I need this
'Cause I believe I'll be free
One day I'll be free
Maybe I'm smokin'
That good shit
I believe I'll be free
One day I'll be free
No matter what time
The present ain't need my mind
Save me, save me
No matter how hard they try
I keep my head high
The lyrics of Alex Hepburn's song, "I Believe," can be interpreted as a statement of frustration with the monotony and limitations of everyday life. The singer expresses discontent with their lot in life, yet remains hopeful that one day they will be free from the constraints that hold them back. The repetition of the phrase "I need this" emphasizes the singer's sense of urgency and desire for change. The line "If it's only dull can I keep my soul?" implies that the singer feels as though they are losing a part of themselves by conforming to societal norms and expectations.
The chorus, which repeats the phrase "I believe I'll be free, one day I'll be free," can be seen as a mantra or a statement of belief. Despite the difficulties and challenges that the singer faces, they maintain a sense of hope and conviction that things will get better. The final line, "No matter how hard they try, I keep my head high," reinforces this sentiment and confirms the singer's resilience and determination.

Everything I own is everything I own
I have nothing else but what I currently possess
If it's only dull can I keep my soul?
If my life lacks excitement, will I still be able to maintain my integrity?
Yo I don't even know, I struggle just to cope
I'm uncertain and barely holding on
Hanging by a thread and you hang a rope
I'm in a precarious situation and your actions could make it worse
I'm more than just the numbers on the paycheck
My value exceeds the amount of money I make
Working hard on pay just to live less
I work tirelessly only to have the necessities taken away
Oh my God I'm waiting for the recess
I am eagerly awaiting a break from the hardships
Give me strength to change my life, I need this
I need a boost to take control and improve my situation
I need this
It's extremely important to me
'Cause I believe I'll be free
I have faith that I will gain independence
One day I'll be free
At some point, my situation will improve
Maybe I'm smokin'
Possibly, I'm under the influence of something
That good shit
High-quality substance
No matter what time
Regardless of the timing
The present ain't need my mind
My current circumstances don't require my full mental capacity
Mama always said just enjoy the ride
My mother taught me to appreciate life as it happens
The grass ain't always greener on the other side
Things may not be better elsewhere
Well
However
But, I don't got no power, these concrete jungle bars
Yet, I'm confined by societal norms and limitations
And I don't see no grass unless I'm smoking it
I can only find relief by using medicinal substances
Takes more than just the numbers on the paycheck
Simply earning a salary is not sufficient for success
Give me strength to change the things, I need this
I require assistance to improve my circumstances
Save me, save me
Help me, please
No matter how hard they try
Regardless of others' attempts
I keep my head high
I remain confident
