Maej ...
Sometimes it seems like the matrix takes us all through the races, and everybody runnin' but we goin' different places, and everybody cryin' they just fall on different faces, and life is a struggle everybody wont make it. See I was on the plane with a bunch of white people watching world cup soccer, man them niggas going crazy, but if there had been some black people watching basketball then we'd be ghetto the motherfuckers racist. It seems the prettiest girls the ones that get the facelifts, they damn doctors bills take they whole life savings. I wonder why do we always wanna trade places with someone who wouldn't trade with us because they couldn't take it. And women post pictures on they page ass naked, and we admire that, niggas treat em like they famous, and let another woman come along and try to save em, they twist they faces up and they acknowledge that as hatin. And times the hardest thing to get back once you waste it, and face it this life is really only what you make it. They sayin Bei slow down young'un you gotta pace it, but you cant concern yourself with standards when your chasin greatness. I know .. Facelifts and Waterfalls... yeah .. Facelifts and Waterfalls .. Uuh .. Yeah .. Pray dah
Maejor ..
I think its time to let the water fall, make it rain everyday cuz I order ball, new play call it auto ball, its too much bangin get off each others balls. Sippin champagne way up in first class, where nigga's make their whole year I did the first half. A January and it was cold outside, nigga's doubted me but can you heard me told em right? I don't walk I just fly, I went from once a blue moon to once a blue sky. And old school women love me like dah new guy, got my hat to the side and my eyes on the prize and you can not hold me down its like tryna hold water, my generation goin dumb im tryna grow smarter. Mad dah my girl tell her bro friends what I bought her. But her skin so soft man I think she Carol's daughter. Garden of Eden beauty when shes naked and this life here is only what you make it, so im'a make sure tonight we do it all, close your eyes facelifts and waterfalls .. Upside down .. Upside down .. Yeah .. Upside down ... Bei Maej .. Upside down ..
In "Facelifts & Waterfalls," Bei Maejor contemplates the different paths, struggles, and priorities of people in life. He observes that, despite being on the same journey, everyone is pursuing their own destinations and using different means to get there. He also comments on societal standards of beauty, highlighting the irony of individuals resorting to extreme measures like facelifts to attain a conventional notion of physical perfection. The paradox is further magnified by the fact that people often desire to switch places with others who they think have it better, ignoring the fact that they may have their own issues to grapple with.
The lyrics also address gender roles, internet culture, and the fickleness of fame. Maejor seems to criticize the objectification of women on social media, where posting explicit pictures earns admiration and validation from strangers. However, society frowns upon someone who tries to save another woman from this toxic cycle, categorizing it as hypocritical behavior. In addition, the artist comments on the fleeting nature of success and material possessions, reminding listeners to cherish the present moment and strive for personal growth.
To tie it all together, Maejor suggests that life is like a waterfall, with its own ebbs and flows that we must embrace fully. He acknowledges that we may not always feel in control of our trajectories, but we also have a hand in shaping them. Through his introspective lyrics, Bei Maejor encourages listeners to be authentic, grateful, and optimistic about the future, recognizing that the world can be both beautiful and tragic at the same time.
