Cruisin'
Amaka Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Need a ride that keeps it steady, always ready to go
I've been cruisin'
Get on, yeah, if you with the shits
All these bruises
Everywhere, but I ricochet
Need action if you understand
Just looking on the lane in front of me
Don't be what's jamming all the traffic
This world is up and down enough for me
Don't be what's clouding up the atmosphere
Embrace this fantasy
You can't help but look my way again
We go freely
And I'm doing my thing, baby
Grab me closer every turn, baby
There's a rhythm and we own it
Own it
Cruisin' on
Keep, keep
Keep cruisin' on
Keep, keep
Keep cruisin' on
Keep, keep
Keep cruisin' on
Keep, keep
I've been floating
On my vibe 'cause it's everything
Tuned in, zoned in
Time just fly when we in the air
Need action if you understand
If you don't, you can exit here
Embrace this fantasy
You can't help but look my way again
We go freely
And I'm doing my thing, baby
Grab me closer every turn, baby
There's a rhythm and we own it
Own it
Cruisin' on
Keep, keep
Keep cruisin' on
Keep, keep
Keep cruisin' on
Keep, keep
Keep cruisin' on
Keep, keep

She seeks action and those who can understand and embrace her fantasy. However, for those who cannot, they are free to exit.

She describes the world as being up and down enough, and asks that whoever she's with doesn't add more negativity to an already turbulent world. The chorus repeats the command to keep moving and cruising on, further emphasizing this sense of freedom and positivity.
The lyrics also have a sense of sensuality, with lines like "Grab me closer every turn, baby / There's a rhythm and we own it" suggesting a dance-like connection between the two people cruising together.
