Ayo!
Andy Mineo Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Never bored
Never bored
Never bored
Never bored
Never bored
Never bored
Never bored
Gnarly

Never bored
But I got a board
That I put on all fours
And kick it on smooth floors
It's with me on tours
Even riding on stages
Reds in the wheels
But I wasn't set claiming

Clicked up
We ain't trying to be famous
People don't get it
They don't know just what the aim is

Dangerous
What you gon' say
It's a man who been changed
Who know that to die is their gain!

Yeah! You know what it's like
You know what it's like
Getting ready for the moment
Getting ready for the night
But I'm getting ready for that moment
Where my faith will be sight

What's the point of getting fly
You ain't ready for the flight
Ha
From the sight to the one that I follow
Dudes find bravado from the bottom of the bottle

Until they got the face twisted up like Picasso there's another way to live
You ain't gotta go. Somebody tell em!

Say ayo!
Come and kick it with the team
The party's over here
Let me show you what I mean
We saying
Say ayo!
On on that one sixteen
Homie come get it right
Show you what the clique like

Say ayo!
Come and kick it with the team
The party's over here
Let me show you what I mean
We saying
Say ayo!
On on that one sixteen
Homie come get it right
Show you what the clique like

Kobe told me 'bout the matrix
Not that I'm about it
I don't bang with the same set that I used to claim
See look it I ain't famous
Some people know my name though
I just won't remain low
So that that I don't take it to the brain, brain
Catch me underground on a train ridin' slow
That's where I compose
All my wickedest flows
Being from New York
Or wicked at its pros
And these con Edison bills high like they smoking

Some are up town
It's like an expo
Like some exposed skin
Like a triple x show
Me and my dawgs flee
We don't need to bend though
But my flesh be itching
Get it
U starting but I'm trying to finish
Enjoying God's gifts
You know what the dish
Back in Barbados
They made us the flying fish
We been all around the world
Me and the whole clique
Unashamed everywhere
They holla 1 1 6 saying

Say ayo!
Come and kick it with the team
The party's over here
Let me show you what I mean
We saying
Say ayo!
On on that one sixteen
Homie come get it right
Show you what the clique like

Say ayo!
Come and kick it with the team
The party's over here
Let me show you what I mean
We saying
Say ayo!
On on that one sixteen
Homie come get it right
Show you what the clique like

Never bored

Overall Meaning

The song "Ayo!" by Andy Mineo is about finding joy and fulfillment in life by focusing on one's faith and relationships with others rather than material possessions, fame, or partying. The song begins with the repeated line "Never bored," which implies that the songwriter is always busy and engaged with life. He then mentions a skateboard that he takes with him on tour and uses on smooth floors, suggesting that he finds enjoyment and satisfaction in simple pleasures rather than extravagant experiences. He also nods to his Christian faith through lines such as "Who know that to die is their gain!" and "Getting ready for that moment where my faith will be sight."


In the second verse, Mineo references Kobe Bryant telling him about "the matrix," which could be a metaphor for the illusions and distractions of the world that prevent people from seeing the truth. Mineo implies that he has left behind his old self and ways of seeking fame and attention, as he no longer claims to be part of a set or cares about being famous. He also references the high cost of living in New York City and mentions his travels around the world with his "clique" of unashamed Christian artists. The chorus repeats the invitation to come hang out and kick it with the team, showcasing the importance of community and relationships in finding joy and fulfillment.

People try to find courage in alcohol, but that only leads to a twisted face. There's another way to live and someone needs to tell them.

Join our group and have fun with us. We're saying 'ayo' and we want you to come experience our lifestyle with us.


Kobe told me 'bout the matrix Not that I'm about it I don't bang with the same set that I used to claim See look it I ain't famous Some people know my name though I just won't remain low So that that I don't take it to the brain, brain Catch me underground on a train ridin' slow That's where I compose All my wickedest flows Being from New York Or wicked at its pros And these Con Edison bills high like they smoking
Kobe talked to me about the Matrix, but I'm not into that. I don't hang around the same people as before, but some people know my name. I won't stay hidden because I don't want to get too caught up in fame. I compose my best music underground on slow trains. I come from New York, which has its advantages and disadvantages, and my utility bills are so high it's like they're smoking.


Some are up town It's like an expo Like some exposed skin Like a triple x show Me and my dawgs flee We don't need to bend though But my flesh be itching Get it U starting but I'm trying to finish Enjoying God's gifts You know what the dish Back in Barbados They made us the flying fish We been all around the world Me and the whole clique Unashamed everywhere They holla 1 1 6 saying
Some people live a flashy lifestyle uptown and show off too much skin like in a pornographic show. Me and my friends don't need to act like that. My physical desires are itching, but I understand that I need to fulfill my purpose first. I enjoy God's gifts, and in Barbados, they even created a new fish called the flying fish. We've been all around the world as a group, and we're unashamed of who we are, and people call out the name of our group, 1 1 6.

If the only argument you have against his Faith/Music is that he held up a certain hand sign then I'd say good for Andy! He's obviously doing something right.

Also if you claim to be a Christian remember there's words..

Matthew 7:5

"...first take the plank out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother's eye."

Don't be so quick to judge. Especially over a stupid thing like hand signs...
