Bree Runway Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Little Nokias, yeah, yeah, yeah, I don't, I don't
Yeah, yeah, uh
News just in
You got Kylie, Madonna, got Justin
Can't trust him
Yeah, mama said throw him in the dustbin
Tell me lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lies
Baby's always on the road
Lemme dri-dri-dri-drive, dri-dri-dri-dri-drive
What's happenin'?
Got Britney, got Miley, got Kirsten
Can't catch him
Running red lights, he ain't tryna get busted
Cut the phone, you gotta go
Seeing blue li-li-li-lights, li-li-li-li-lights
I don't think you wanna know
You ain't 'bout that li-li-li-life, li-li-li-li-life
He only hit me with a text when he want that goddess-level sex
Boy, you got me fucked up
What the hell is next?
Boy, you cute, but boy you stress
I ain't like you, I don't mess with feds
Boy, you got me fucked up
This ain't good for press
News just in
Can you hear the little Nokia ring-ring
Trap line booming
(Ring, ring) what?
Can you leave me on my own?
All you do is lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie
Boy, you're reaping what you've sown
Playing with your li-li-li-life, li-li-li-li-life
He only hit me with a text when he want that goddess-level sex
Boy, you got me fucked up
What the hell is next?
Boy, you cute, but boy you stress
I ain't like you, I don't mess with feds
Boy, you got me fucked up
This ain't good for press
Can't come, can't
Won't come, won't come
Can't come, can't come to the phone now
Get gone, get gone
I won't answer your call
Can't come, can't come to the phone now
I'm sorry, can't come to the phone (come to the phone)
Hit you with the busy tone, yeah (ooh)
Boy, what the fuck is you on? (Is you on?)
In Bree Runway's song LITTLE NOKIA, she starts by stating that she does not like "little Nokias." This can be interpreted as a metaphor for her disdain for men who are not up to par with her standards. She lists off several celebrities that cannot be trusted and sings about leaving them in the "dustbin" when they are on their own. Bree also mentions how her partner is always "on the road" and constantly lies to her. She wants to "drive" away from the situation and end the relationship because she does not want to be involved in the drama.
Bree then explains that her partner only contacts her when he wants to engage in sexual activity with her. She acknowledges that he is attractive, but also acknowledges that he is causing her stress. She further expresses her lack of interest in being associated with him because he associates with the wrong crowd. Bree then says that she is sorry, but can not come to the phone and will not answer his calls.
Overall, the song is about a toxic relationship with a partner who is a liability. Bree expresses her dissatisfaction with him and wants to move on. The lyrics are cleverly written with a catchy chorus and a great beat that will make listeners dance along.
