Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Okay, alright, yeaaaah yeaah let's go yeah
Ah haa haa ah
[Chorus:]
I think I'm trippin'
Trippin' trippin' to the floor (thas right)
Much more different then before
Yeah I'm trippin' (yeah I'm tripin')
From the ceiling to the floor
Feeling different
Cause I'm trippin' to the floor
Trippin' to the floor
Trippin' to the flo
Started with no books and pages
Just stick it out in the hood I was raised in
Cause see the hood ain't no location
The hood is simply where you place me
See now when I look at faces
I give a damn and a good vibration
Cause there is no reason you should be faithless
Cause look how far a hook can take you
From up here earth looks amazing
That's ram invaded and human races
And there is no reason to debate it
I am the universe and your crazy
Now let's take a new vacation
I was thinking jupiter pluto maybe
See I ain't crazy
See I am just trying to wake up and I ain't patient
[Chorus x2]
The lyrics to B.o.B vs. Bobby Ray's song "Trippin'" can be interpreted as the artist expressing a feeling of being in an altered state of mind or consciousness. The repetitive phrase "I think I'm trippin'" suggests that the singer is experiencing a sense of disorientation and detachment from reality. This feeling is further emphasized by the line "Feeling different, much more different than before." The singer acknowledges that they are undergoing a significant change or transformation.
The second verse delves into the artist's background, highlighting their upbringing in the hood. The line "Started with no books and pages" implies a lack of formal education or traditional means of learning. However, the singer emphasizes their resilience and determination to rise above their circumstances. They reject the notion that the hood is simply a physical location, instead defining it as a mindset or state of being.
The lyrics then take a philosophical turn, with the artist contemplating the vastness of the universe and their place within it. The line "From up here earth looks amazing" suggests a shift in perspective, as if the singer is viewing the world from a higher plane of existence. They assert their belief that they are connected to something greater than themselves, stating "I am the universe and you're crazy." The mention of Jupiter and Pluto as potential vacation destinations further signifies a desire for exploration and expansion of consciousness.
