B.o.B Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Salgo sul palco come Santana
Fatto di vere sostanze
Fanculo la tua droga scrausa
Tu non ci metti la faccia
Vivo per scampo come Niki Lauda
No non mi sento la faccia
Si cerca la svolta si muore in curva
La vita è una gara sfreccio con Senna
In arrivo pacchi pronta consegna
Prendi la strada meno battuta
Evito infami come le buche
Tiger Woods quando mando in buca
Dici che spacchi , ma che battuta
Finisci a picco per una figa
Magari spacci e lei se la fuma
Torno dall'Ade tu mi dici basta
Fuma sti mostri poi mi dici passa
Fatto se l'occhio a sinistra mi casca
Torno dall'Ade tu mi dici...
Fuma sti mostri poi dimmi tu basta
Parla coi morti ayahuasca
Fuma sti mostri poi dimmi tu basta
Parla coi morti ayahuasca
Torno dall'Ade tu mi dici basta
Fuma sti mostri poi mi dici passa
Fatto se l'occhio a sinistra mi casca
Torno dall'Ade tu mi dici passa
Fuma sti mostri poi dimmi tu basta
Parla coi morti ayahuasca
Fuma sti mostri poi dimmi tu basta
Parla coi morti ayahuasca
Brucio sti giorni fumo tre vite
Brucio le tappe cime e cartine
Torno dall'Ade e finisco su Marte
Ci vedi che siamo distanti anni luce
Apri le orecchie ci metti una pulce
Tu parli male se hai poco da dire
Fanno le docce e coscienze pulite
Lacrima Cristo e corona di spine
Meglio farsi un viaggio che i piani
Passati gli anni ti crollano addosso
Ponti saltati, tanti saluti
Rimani a chiederti cosa è rimasto
Sguardi che fingi distratti
Infatti abbiamo fatto un disastro
Sguardi che fingi distratti
Infatti abbiam fatto un disastro
Torno dall'Ade tu mi dici basta
Fuma sti mostri poi mi dici passa
Fatto se l'occhio a sinistra mi casca
Torno dall'Ade tu mi dici passa
Fuma sti mostri poi dimmi tu basta
Parla coi morti ayahuasca
Fuma sti mostri poi dimmi tu basta
Parla coi morti ayahuasca
Torno dall'Ade tu mi dici
Fuma sti mostri poi dici
Fatto se l'occhio a sinistra mi
Torno dall'Ade tu mi dici
Fuma sti mostri poi dimmi tu
Parla coi morti ayahuasca
Fuma sti mostri poi dimmi tu basta
Parla coi morti ayahuasca
Torno dall'Ade tu mi dici basta
Fuma sti mostri poi mi dici passa
Fatto se l'occhio a sinistra mi casca
Torno dall'Ade tu mi dici passa
Fuma sti mostri poi dimmi tu basta
Parla coi morti ayahuasca
Fuma sti mostri poi dimmi tu basta
Parla coi morti ayahuasca
The lyrics to B.o.B's song "Ayahuasca" touch on themes of personal growth, self-discovery, and the pursuit of a higher consciousness. The song title references ayahuasca, which is a powerful psychedelic brew used in traditional indigenous Amazonian ceremonies for spiritual and medicinal purposes. The song opens with the line "Con la bandana come i banditi, salgo sul palco come Santana," which translates to "With the bandana like the bandits, I climb on stage like Santana." This line expresses a sense of rebellion and confidence, comparing the artist's presence on stage to the legendary guitarist Carlos Santana.
The following lines, "Fatto di vere sostanze, Fanculo la tua droga scrausa," can be interpreted as a rejection of mainstream drugs and an endorsement of natural substances. The artist emphasizes that he is made of real substances, implying a preference for authentic experiences. He dismisses synthetic drugs, suggesting that they are inferior.
The lyrics continue to explore themes of taking risks and living life on one's own terms. The line "La vita è una gara sfreccio con Senna" translates to "Life is a race, speeding with Senna," referring to the Brazilian Formula One racing driver Ayrton Senna. This line conveys the idea of living life to the fullest and pushing boundaries, just like Senna did on the race track.
References to avoiding negativity and staying true to oneself also appear in the lyrics. The line "Evito infami come le buche, Tiger Woods quando mando in buca" translates to "I avoid the infamous like potholes, like Tiger Woods when I sink the putt." This line suggests that the artist avoids negative influences and compares himself to the famous golfer Tiger Woods, who is known for his skill and focus.
The chorus of the song repeats the phrase "Torno dall'Ade, tu mi dici basta" which translates to "I come back from Hades, you tell me enough." This line implies a journey into the depths of one's consciousness, symbolized by the reference to Hades, the Greek god of the underworld. It suggests that the artist is seeking enlightenment and a connection to something greater.
Overall, "Ayahuasca" explores themes of rebellion, personal growth, and the pursuit of a higher consciousness, using references to drugs, racing, and spiritual experiences to convey these ideas.
