Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

So hot outside
So Hot Outside
Are we even alive anymore
Covid got us barricade indoors
Now the sun's tryna Kill us
Like in Super Mario Brothers bet Greta Thunberg must be pissed
Screamin' see what you did
How dare you
Don't turn your AC on
Got a Tesla in garage
Take a soak on the lawn with the sprinklers on
Cooler in the water
Climate change only makes us hotter
Greenhouse gasses
Burnin layers
Ozone status
Can't go back now, waitin' on them clouds
Bringin' rain drops down put out fires burnin' up our forest
Do i got supporters
Flames ain't stopping for no borders
Scientists already tried to warn us

Hot as the sun melanin
A heatwave burnin' up AC turn it up
Sunscreen, cream coconut
A heatwave forty plus on the scene
What the fuck
Hot as the sun melanin
A heatwave burnin' up AC turn it up
Sunscreen, cream coconut
A heatwave forty plus on the scene
What the fuck

We've done it
Polluted the world to a point where it's burning the summits
Sun burnin' us until we looking crunchy
And we go inside and submit
To the new AC still burnin' up the energy
Burnin coal
Emittin' gasses in the earth until our lungs collapse
Just so the companies ruling the world can reach they goal
That concepts ass but it's facts
Like how in droughts nestle loves to take the water from the masses
And put it in little bottles and serve it to you for cash
In my opinion they should banned
But with the government they hand in hand
And as long as they profit they don't care if we eatin' sand uh
And they gaslightin' us sayin we recycle bad
And the cars that we drivin' are the problem for that
But even if we did our part the best and changed as a mass
I know as a fact the world's staying just as bad

Hot as the sun melanin
A heatwave burnin' up AC turn it up
Sunscreen, cream coconut
A heatwave forty plus on the scene
What the fuck
Hot as the sun melanin
A heatwave burnin' up AC turn it up
Sunscreen, cream coconut




A heatwave forty plus on the scene
What the fuck

Overall Meaning

The song "Heatwave" by Berner featuring Wiz Khalifa and Big K.R.I.T. is a commentary on the current state of the world in relation to climate change and environmental issues. The lyrics express frustration and anger towards the effects of global warming, as well as the lack of action and accountability by individuals, corporations, and government entities.


The song begins by acknowledging the extreme heat and the feeling of being trapped indoors due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The reference to Greta Thunberg, a prominent environmental activist, illustrates the anger towards those who deny or ignore the reality of climate change. The lyrics criticize the idea of turning on the air conditioner, suggesting that it exacerbates the problem rather than providing a solution. The mention of a Tesla and taking a soak on the lawn emphasizes the need to find alternative ways to cool down without contributing to further harm.


The song then delves into the consequences of climate change, highlighting greenhouse gas emissions, the depletion of the ozone layer, and the destruction of forests through wildfires. The lyrics question whether there are enough supporters for those fighting against these issues and express frustration at how borders and nationalities cannot stop the flames from spreading. The reference to scientists' warnings serves as a reminder that these problems are not sudden but instead have been predicted and ignored for too long.


Overall, "Heatwave" serves as a call to action, urging listeners to recognize the severity of climate change, question the actions of corporations and governments, and take responsibility for their own impact on the environment.
