Guitar
Bibi Bourelly Lyrics

Subway cars and graffiti
The urban surroundings are typified by subway cars and graffiti.

and who lives under the bridge by my street
The singer is also familiar with the homeless population who resides under the nearby bridge.

Playing guitar for me, playing guitar for me
An unknown person plays the guitar for the singer on a regular basis.

Playing guitar for me, playing guitar-ar-ar
The repeated guitar playing sounds musical to the singer and they enjoy it.

I was born and raised on this concrete
The singer denotes their upbringing on the urban streets.

Bad ass kids running away from police
Kids are engaging in delinquent behavior by skipping school and trying to evade police.

Skipping school and niggas smoking weed, hey
Individuals of the lower socioeconomic bracket prioritize engaging in reckless behavior over attending school.

Playing guitar for me, playing guitar-ar-ar
Despite the harsh realities of urban life, the guitar player remains and provides comfort to the singer.

And he knew we were gonna be a problem
The guitar player is aware of how reckless the singer and their crew can be, which may result in trouble.

Iam from the streets but he'd never say a thing
The guitar player comes from the same background as the singer, but chooses not to speak on their actions.

Sipping on his drink but he'd never say a thing
The guitar player remains silent and passive despite the situation at hand.

Everyone wanna be a someone
People aspire to become significant and recognized for their accomplishments.

but we're all too busy having fun
People are more invested in entertainment and distraction than achieving success.

Play that guitar for me, play that guitar for me
The singer is requesting the guitar player to play more music for them.

Play that guitar for me, play that guitar-ar-ar
The singer enjoys the sound of the guitar and wants more of it.

And take this gun and kill our dreams, hey
Delinquent behavior can lead to self-sabotage and ruin aspirations.

Said the trigger's softer than it seem
The danger of the situation is not as apparent as it should be.

Oh, we run this shit by any means
The singer and their crew will do whatever it takes to gain control and assert their power.

play that guitar for me, play that guitar
Despite the perilous circumstances, the guitar provides comfort to the singer and they want more music.

And he knew we were gonna be a problem
The guitar player anticipated negative consequences that the singer and their crew might face.

I am from the streets but he'd never say a thing
Despite sharing a common background, the guitar player chooses not to steer the singer and their crew in a different direction.

He knew we were gonna be a problem
The guitar player could already predict a downfall for the singer and their group.

Sipping on his drink but he'd never say a thing
The guitar player stays apathetic and does not intervene despite the potential danger.
