Intro
Big Sean Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

God, I have been doing the same thing in the same place
Working the same job for 45 years. You know that
Shit just flew by. What am I really even doing?
God, I know we rarely talk, but every day I wake up I feel like
I feel like I blew it with my family, with her
These kids around me don't have no one to look up to
Should have been me. This job ain't me, man
This ain't what I'm supposed to be doing in my life, man




Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Big Sean's "Intro" express a sense of regret and dissatisfaction with the singer's life. The singer realizes that they have been living the same routine, doing the same thing in the same place for 45 years, without really questioning whether this is what they truly want or whether it makes them happy. This realization has come too late in life, and the singer is left feeling like they have "blown it" with their family and with someone they loved.


The singer also expresses concern for the future generation as they don't have anyone to look up to. They feel like they should have been that person, to be an inspiration or role model to the younger generation. The singer recognizes that their current job isn't fulfilling and it's not what they were meant to do with their life. Through these lyrics, Big Sean paints a picture of someone who has come face to face with the reality of their life and feels trapped in a situation they don't want to be in.


Overall, "Intro" is a reflective and introspective song that encourages listeners to question the direction of their lives and to take action to pursue what truly makes them happy.
