Dancin
B-TWO Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But you know that Ima make a change, I can't stand the pain
Misdemeanor I can't stand the rain
Music is my cane
Mind and heart is racin like a train
Anxiety aint a game
And I'm like do I need my liver, my kidneys or my lungs
Should I welcome Mary Jane tell her bring her homie Rum
And I am the only one, I didn't invite no one to come
Goin thru some thangs, goin thru some thangs
Goin thru some thangs, goin thru some thangs
Goin thru some thangs, goin thru some thangs
Ima make a change, I can't stand the rain
When everything seem tragic
Gotta make it happen
Everything seem gloomy
Gotta keep it movin
Everything seem tragic
Gotta make it happen
Everything seem gloomy
Mane gotta keep it movin
Goin thru some thangs, goin thru some thangs
Goin thru some thangs, goin thru some thangs
Goin thru some thangs, goin thru some thangs
Ima make a change, I can't stand the rain
In this pity party slow music it ain't fun
And I am the only one, I didn't invite no one to come
Didn't invite no one to come
Didn't invite no one to come
But you know that Ima make a change
But you know that Ima make a change
Ima make a change
When everything seem tragic
Gotta make it happen
Everything seem gloomy
Gotta keep it movin
Everything seem tragic
Gotta make it happen
Everything seem gloomy
Mane gotta keep it movin
The lyrics to B-TWO’s “Dancin” are about going through tough times but making a change for the better. The intro to the song sets the tone with “Man ya girl been goin thru some thangs, goin thru some thangs / But you know that Ima make a change, I can't stand the pain.” This shows that the singer is going through a tough time but is determined to make a positive change in their life. The line “Misdemeanor I can't stand the rain / Music is my cane” is a play on words that indicates that music is the singer's coping mechanism for dealing with their troubled emotions. Anxiety is also mentioned in the lyrics, with the singer stating that “Mind and heart is racin like a train / Anxiety aint a game” and then questioning whether they should turn to substances to cope: “And I'm like do I need my liver, my kidneys or my lungs / Should I welcome Mary Jane tell her bring her homie Rum.”
The chorus reinforces the message that even when everything seems tragic or gloomy, it’s important to keep moving forward: “When everything seem tragic / Gotta make it happen / Everything seem gloomy / Gotta keep it movin.” The repeated line “Goin thru some thangs” is a reminder that it’s okay to be going through a tough time, and that change is possible.
The lyrics of “Dancin” ultimately convey a message of hope and resilience. The singer acknowledges that they are going through struggles, but they refuse to let those struggles define them.
