B.O.B
What's up, what's, down.
Ladies and gentleman we are entering into the fifth dimension
And I mention we gone.

Right on right on
B.O.B
B.O.B
Give it to em shawty

I'm eons and eons beyond these peon's
Another human like me there will never be one
The planet that I'm from, I can't even speak on
The stars is what I sleep on
The moon I put my feet on
The way my aura glow, you swear I'm made of neon
Cooler than the freon on, its in your dodge neon
They say the future is now, to me it hasn't begun
Stay tuned to me and their will never be a re-run
So come and leap on my body and as we come
You'll probably feel moist like the trees on the tropics
We gone we gone, we out it, no we don't need rockets
We hope up on the mother ship an we gone, we sliding
We slipping through dimensions, we hyper space gliding
Blasting through the atmosphere
Frightening in the lightening
I know I'm out my mind girl, but you know you like it
So hope up on my cosmic highway so we can ride it

Shorty are you going my way
Come and ride on my, my cosmic highway
(Ooh) let's go (Ooh) let's go
Shorty I cant take earth no more
Another galaxy we must go

Well, fresh up out the sky I'm like a meteorite
So when the studio, no I don't need to write
Man I just came up in the game cause y'all just needed more light
So, so by the time I'm done their ain't gonna be no more mics
And people ask me B.o.B what kind of language is that
Cause I may blast into the future, I may never come back
And I'm a leave with a thirty thousand a night yearly
Headed to a distant planet called B.o.B
And then I'm gone, man they not ignoring me
Taking off from half court Air Jordan'
All systems go in ten seconds I'm orbiting
Hanging in the cosmos like a space ornament
Heat 'em up like a solar flare oh yes I bring the pain
Similar to asteroid that's headed to your brain
My lane is something that they really cannot explain
They try to hold me down but man it's me that they cant contain

Shorty are you going my way
Come and ride on my, my cosmic highway
(Ooh) Let's go (ooh) let's go
Shorty I cant take earth no more
Another galaxy we must go

Come and go with me, I'll take you to my galaxy
I'm talking Venus, Jupiter, Mars, Mars, Mars
And I'm saying girl, I'll ride all night
And I need you for this ship to take flight
Let's go, let's go
Come on baby let me take it off
Another second we gone blast it off

Look shorty are you going my way
Come and ride on my, my cosmic highway
(Ooh) Let's go (ooh) let's go




Shorty I cant take earth no more
Another galaxy we must go

Overall Meaning

The song “5th Dimension” by B.O.B. Ft Ricco Barrino talks about the exploration of a new world. B.O.B. paints the picture of being from a different planet and having a completely different experience from the rest of the people on Earth. He talks about sleeping on stars and placing his feet on the moon. He is cooler than the freon in your Dodge Neon, and although people say that the future is now, to him, it has not yet begun. The song talks about slipping through dimensions, hyper space gliding, and blasting through the atmosphere. B.O.B. knows that he is out of his mind, and the person he is speaking to may think so as well, but they cannot deny that they like it. The pair ultimately takes off from Earth and head towards a new galaxy, ending with the line, “Shorty I can’t take Earth no more. Another galaxy we must go.”


The song is not only about the physical world but also about the mental state of B.O.B. He speaks about what makes him unique and how he is unparalleled. B.O.B believes that he is on another level, eons and eons beyond the others. He claims that there will never be another human like him, and the planet he is from is so incredible that he cannot even begin to speak about it. In a sense, the song is about transcendence, the idea of going beyond the limitations of the physical world and being in a better state of mind.
