Billionaire
Carroll Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And you feel it in the back of your throat
Maybe it's the lonely nights or the days gone by
You know where you got to go
So you hit the streets for a midnight
Stroll or just a breathe of fresh air
There's a siren sound up the avenue
And the street light color is neon blue
In a hurricane with a baseball bat
Three strikes you're out
Storm keeps rolling on the window panes with the ladies flying out
So you hit the streets for a midnight
Stroll or just a breathe of fresh air
There's a siren sound up the avenue
And the street light color is neon blue
What got in to you?
The first verse of Billionaire by Carroll describes a character who is wealthy and armed with a shotgun. Despite being a billionaire, the character feels a sense of unease or discomfort, which they can feel in the back of their throat. The reason for this could be due to the isolation they feel, spending many nights alone or the passing of days, which leaves them searching for something more. The character sets out on a midnight stroll in search of solace, exploring the city streets as they try to clear their head.
However, their search is interrupted by the sound of a siren in the distance, and the neon blue of the streetlights adds to the foreboding atmosphere. The character appears to be grappling with an inner turmoil, which is reflected in the storm brewing outside. The mention of a baseball bat and "three strikes you're out" suggest a sense of danger or potential violence, adding to the tension of the song. Despite this, the character continues their search for clarity on their midnight stroll.
The song overall seems to explore themes of isolation, unease, and inner turmoil, reflecting the turbulent emotions that can come with extreme wealth and power.

MAMA I’M HOME
Verse 1:
Now and then I look back, as a child heading homeward
How I’d open the door, always perfectly sure Mama’s sweet face I’d see
I’d say, “Mama, I’m home!” She would smile when she saw me
In her comforting arms, I felt cherished and warm,
That’s where “home” was to me.
Verse 2:
Years later, I strayed, bringing sorrow to Mama
But she stayed on her knees, pleading mercy for me, and her faith did not sway
I was battered and scarred when I finally surrendered
Letting Jesus atone for my old heart of stone, I could call her and say
Chorus
Mama, I’m home! I’m where I belong now
In the family at last, free from my awful past
Part of God’s master plan
Mama, I’m home! It finally happened,
,,What you taught me was true now my life’s been made new
By the Father’s own hand.
Verse 3:
Now for years Mom’s been gone, and I’ve been alone on this journey
Her example was strong, so when something goes wrong, I remember to pray
Now, Jordan’s crossing’s in sight, and I know she’ll be waiting
When I land on that shore, and see her face once more,
Guess what I’m gonna say?
Chorus 2:
Mama, I’m home! Mom, I made it to Heaven!
Though the road wasn’t kind, often tears made me blind
I somehow held on .
Mama, I’m home will you take me to Jesus?
Let me thank Him for you, how your prayers pulled me through
Mama, I’m HOME!
Tag:
Let me thank Jesus for you, your prayers pulled me through
Mama, I’m home

Live in the moment. Stop looking ahead, stop planning outcomes, stop answering before youve listened to the full question. Ive been lacking so hard with these things. I hope that the next moment will pass by without me even noticing. Peace and loveya
@forget2bhuman993
