C.J. Lewis Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Pedal to the metal, yeah we're going insane
All pain, no gain
Full of dirty needles and novocaine
I don't wanna think at all
So for now I'll try to stall
The realization that I don't know anything
I just wanna hang out with the friends I got
Joe was eating cheese and pretzels, sitting on the hood
I had some and almost puked even though it was pretty good
Who needs substances, nothing beats this
I get high off my own stupidness
Right brain, left lane
Pedal to the metal, yeah we're going insane
All pain, no gain
Full of dirty needles and novocaine
I don't wanna think at all
So for now I'll try to stall
The realization that I don't know anything
And of course George was late, but
But George is always late, yeah
What am I even tryna say
Right brain, left lane
Pedal to the metal, yeah we're going insane
All pain, no gain
Full of dirty needles and novocaine
I don't wanna think at all
So for now I'll try to stall
The realization that I don't know anything
The realization that I don't know anything
The realization that I don't know anything
The lyrics to C.J. Lewis's song "Left & Right" are packed with religious and political commentary. The song opens with a repeated refrain of "Thank you Jesus," which sets the tone for the rest of the song. Lewis acknowledges the many different ways that people move and live their lives, but ultimately concludes that what we really need, above all else, is Jesus. He implores God to "clothe me with the garments of salvation and a robe of his righteousness."
The second verse of the song takes a more critical tone. Lewis begins by asking the question "Who are we?" before acknowledging that different people have different answers to that question. He notes that some people say we are "God's people" or "Christ-like," while others view us as "odd people." However, Lewis ultimately implies that these distinctions are unimportant because "there's no separation." He accuses people of only "honor[ing] Him with [their] lips" and not their hearts, and notes that many people lack faith. He criticizes those who "let the opps play," which seems to refer to those who allow bad things to happen without taking action. He asks whether the world we live in is "real life or just cosplay," questioning the authenticity of our society. Lewis concludes the verse by urging people to follow God rather than their own desires.
The final verse is the most political of the three, lamenting the plight of "My people" who are "betrayed daily by a country." He refers to the Bible verse that says "we will be first and not last though," implying that the current state of things is not what God intended. He criticizes society for failing to educate people about money and giving them "bad loans." Lewis concludes by arguing that we need to take action, don our masks and pick up our "mag long" (guns), and protect ourselves against a society that has failed us.
Overall, the lyrics to "Left & Right" are a blend of religious, social, and political commentary. Lewis seems to be imploring his listeners to turn to God for salvation and to take action to protect themselves and their communities. The song is a mix of hope and despair, suggesting that while there is always hope in God, the world we live in is flawed and in need of change.

We keep takin bad loans
Continually accepting poor loans

We think we've become wealthy
But we're bad clones
We've simply copied others' behavior and approaches
Have a million dollars
Have a large sum of money
Wake up and the bag gone
Wake up and find the money is gone
So now we got our masks on
Now we have to hide our true selves
With the mag long
With a large firearm
Really living like this
This is the harsh reality of our lives
Country music is just sad songs
Life can be a depressing experience
