Hope You're Happy
Blakroc Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Spinning off the rims no baskets falling
Just another basket case stricken with the lonelies
Invoke the man, out through the tenderoni
Wouldn't leave the children, left a little alimony
Nothing in my cupboards just stale macaroni
Need me some sustenance, find me a bottle
Went into my paper as I stripped you a bottom
I hope you're happy
(You know I am baby)
Can't be happier than me
(You know-ow-ow it's true)
I hope you're happy
(I'm happy now darlin cos I got you where I want you to be)
All of a sudden I'm the bad guy
Why cos I gave you everything?
Crib, cars, cash, bling
Average, sorry that just isn't my thing
Lavish bitch, I had you living like a queen
Well established, to the point you wouldn't stop to think
That if you step out on your boy
Ya probably wouldn't say
Being a groupie for Black Keys
I know it come with benefits
I lifted you from your knees
To show you what exquisite is
Please bitch, Things change ain't no robberies
So while you was in the back with that
You girlfriend Jen, was slobbing me
Its probably in the script for us to take it down
Now I hope you're happy
(You know I am baby)
You ain't happier than me
(You know-ow-ow it's true)
I hope you're happy
(I'm happy now darlin cause I got you where I want you to be)
The Blakroc song "Hope You're Happy" is a hard-hitting track that is essentially about a broken relationship between two people. The lyrics are deep and emotional, and the use of metaphors throughout the song adds to its overall depth. In the first verse, the theme centers around the feeling of being stuck and unable to move on from the pain of a breakup. The singer describes himself as bouncing off the walls, just like a basketball. He is spinning off the rims and unable to make any baskets, which is symbolic of his inability to move forward in life. He also mentions feeling like a basket case, stricken with loneliness. He calls out for help but receives no response from anyone around him, and it leads him down a path of despair.
The second verse is where the song takes a more aggressive tone. The singer is upset that he is seen as the bad guy in the aftermath of the relationship's breakdown. He feels that he gave his partner everything, from material possessions to love and support. He lifts her up from her knees and shows her what it really means to live lavish, but despite all of that, she still chooses to stray. It's here that the metaphor of groupies comes into play, with the notion that being a groupie for the Black Keys comes with benefits. The singer suggests that his partner's infidelity is expected, but despite the hurt it causes him, he hopes she is happy.
Overall, "Hope You're Happy" is a powerful and emotional song about the ups and downs of relationships, the difficulties of moving on, and the complex emotions that can arise when we feel betrayed.

This is my favorite song from the album
Matt Damiano
I'm glad this kind of music hasn't been tarnished by the masses yet, it keeps it's quality and it's integrity. It's only a matter of time before we see powerful music like this in a Honda commercial, and then blakroc will feel like a gym class heroes album. And then the last stand of good music will go down with the rest of the world.
