San Francisco
C. J. Johnson Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Cause whoever made the plan got it all messed up
Let's stop the hating, I put out big respect
No use debating, you'll get what you select
The intellect is like the Hyde in the Jekyll
If you look inside you will see it's a speckle
And a spot, we need love and I got a lot
So I'mma blow up the whole joint with one shot
Down to 14 polishing the furious form
20 display, this way to the DJ
12 got the next play covered like an x-ray
Down to the bone, make your bones crumble
Why be derogatory disco mumble?
Now we sail the seas like fishermen and vikings
Stealing rap thrones from your kings and my kings
Like extra buttered pop corn I'm bada pop pop gone
Before you even see me, the lyrical Houdini
Suave like Rico, Federico Fellini
I drop your ass faster than Benito Mussolini
Eenie meenie miny moe, heidi heidi heidi hoe
Minnie the moocher with the flow (what) waiting for godot (what)
The Tallinn posse to the Stockholm crew
Gothenburg, Turku, you know how we do
A gangsta hit job from the Moscow mob
Oslo down low, slow down the throb
North and south, now we run the whole Baltic
Stop, halt it, you can't assault it
The defense mechanism working like a clock
Who rock the party? why nobody
And we keep it gras like mardi (like mardi)
And we keep it gras like mardi (like mardi)
And we keep it gras like mardi (like mardi)
The measures I'm taking are serious and drastic
No bullshit to work your way past it
You play it cool, intellectual, scholastic
Fool in a basket, artificial like plastic
Isaac new-tone, Abraham Lincoln
Sugar daddy gone saturday drinking
Thinking like a king taking rap to Botswana
By way of Ghana, sipping vino in Toscana
True dat, word and represent, right on
And big up to everybody keeping their
Heart and pride on top of everything
With skills worth meriting
The very thing you created I'm inheriting
My vocal - like fire without a match
Never lose the beat so I got nothing to catch 22
A plentitude of rhymes they might snatch
We stayin on our toes with the
Ssscratch
The lyrics to C.J Johnson's song San Francisco could be interpreted in different ways but the general tone of the song is a plea from the singer to his partner who seems to be unsure about their relationship. The first verse suggests that the partner may be telling him that it is alright that he messed up but there may be underlying issues as the singer thinks that his partner knows he is lying. He may be trying to give excuses for his errors and his partner may be skeptical, hence leading the singer to feel tired of trying to convince her otherwise.
The chorus of the song carries a strong message that the singer seems to repeat a couple of times during the verses. He notes that when someone says 'maybe,' it regularly means 'no' leading him to question why his partner needs to lead him on. He notes that when people are lazy, they often stand in their way and no one likes being let down. The second verse continues in the same narrative, as the singer expresses his knowledge of his partner's habits and ties that may hinder their relationship from working. He shows his desire to be with her even though he may have to lie to her, and he hopes that she can help him untangle his own issues.
In conclusion, the song San Francisco could be interpreted as a plea from someone who feels like their partner is unsure about continuing their relationship. The repetition of the chorus reinforces the idea that the singer does not want to be led on or given half-hearted answers. However, it is essential to note that the song may have a different meaning or interpretation for different people, depending on their experiences.
Line by Line Meaning
I know she said, it's alright
I am aware that she told me it's fine
You can make it up next time
You have the chance to fix it in the future
I know she knows, it's not right
I understand that she is aware something is wrong
There ain't no use in lying
It's pointless to not tell the truth
Maybe she thinks I know something
It is possible that she believes I am aware of something
Maybe, maybe she thinks it's fine
It's a possibility that she thinks everything is okay
Maybe she knows something I don't
Perhaps, she is aware of something that I am not
I'm so, I'm so tired, I'm so tired of trying
I am exhausted from attempting to fix things
It seems to me that maybe
In my opinion, it appears that
It pretty much always means, no
It mostly means negative or not possible
So don't tell me, you might just let it go
Do not say that you might forget about it
And often times we're lazy
We frequently lack motivation
It seems to stand in my way
It appears to be an obstacle in my path
Cause no one, no not, no one
Because nobody
Likes to be let down
Enjoys being disappointed
I know she loves the sunrise
I am aware she enjoys watching the sunrise
No longer sees it with her sleeping eyes
She no longer watches it while asleep
And I know that when she said, she's gonna try
I am aware that she intended to attempt something
Well, it might not work because of other ties and
It may be unsuccessful due to other commitments
I know she usually has some other ties
I understand that she usually has other commitments
And I wouldn't wanna break 'em, nah, I wouldn't wanna break 'em
I do not wish to interfere with those commitments
Maybe she'll help me to untie this, but
Perhaps, she will assist me with fixing the situation
Until then well, I'm gonna have to lie to her
Until then, I will have to deceive her to avoid hurting her
The harder that you try baby, the further you'll fall
The more effort you put in, the worse it could get
Even with all the money in the whole wide world
Even with unlimited resources
Please, please, please don't pass me
Do not leave me behind
Everything you know about me now, baby you gonna have to change
You will have to alter your perception of me
You goin' to call it, by a brand new name
You will refer to it using a different label
Please, please, please don't drag me
Please do not hinder me
Just like your tree, down by the water, baby I shall not move
Like the tree by the water, I will stand firm
Even after all the silly things you do
Regardless of any foolish actions
Please, please, please don't drag me
Please do not impede me
Please, please, please don't drag me down
Please do not lower my position or prospects
