C'mon
B Man Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I never been caught beating on my chest
Checked all the boxes, passed all the tests
C'mon
Didn’t say yes, but I didn’t say no
I can see me in the light, center of the show
Everything I am, everything I know
People want to be
Famous and on tv
But all I want to be
Is happy
I know too much, and there’s too much noise
I’ve never really said, “I did it for the boys”
Everything I did, I didn’t have a choice
C'mon
I’ve never been a fan of the corporate greed
How’d you make money off a fundamental need?
We never learned to write, we never learned to read
C'mon
People want to be
Married by thirty three
So let’s ignore our neighbors needs
Whoopee
Sulfur in the air and poison in my eyes
I remember when blue was for the skies
Would you like to take your pill with your soda or your fries
C'mon
And people try to tell me that nothing makes sense
Yet they pray to nonbelievers, gypsies in a tent
I try to tell them God wouldn’t live behind a fence
C'mon
People don’t want to be
In a world where they’re free
They’d rather listen to their tv
C'mon
The lyrics to B Man's song "C'mon" convey a sense of dissatisfaction with societal norms and a desire for personal happiness. The opening lines, "Never went north but I’ve never been west, I never been caught beating on my chest," suggest that the singer has not followed the traditional path or succumbed to societal pressures. They have not conformed to expectations or engaged in boastful behavior. The mention of checking boxes and passing tests implies that the singer has complied with society's standards but is questioning the value and purpose of these achievements.
The chorus, "People want to be famous and on TV, but all I want to be is happy," reflects a contrast between societal desires for fame and the singer's pursuit of personal fulfillment. They reject the materialistic and superficial pursuits often promoted by society and emphasize the importance of finding happiness instead. The subsequent lines tackle topics such as knowledge, corporate greed, and societal expectations. The singer feels burdened by excessive information ("I know too much") and criticizes the exploitation of fundamental needs for profit.
The verses also touch upon the singer's skepticism towards societal norms and religious beliefs. They question how money can be made from essential needs and express frustration with the limitations imposed by societal expectations ("People want to be married by thirty three, so let’s ignore our neighbors' needs"). The mention of sulfur in the air and poison in the eyes reflects a sense of environmental degradation and the loss of natural beauty. The final lines emphasize a disillusionment with society, suggesting that people prefer to be complacent and appeased by their TVs rather than embrace freedom and critical thinking.
