Numb
Cassie Feat Rick Ross Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I make music to numb your brain
Ride the wave
New young ruler of the beat and the vox
Breezy tonic, fresh like rain
My beat mans cruel, he's the freakiest box banger
Fox hanging on my coat, rocks hanging on my chain
Bang bang and I hit it with impeccable aim
Bang bang and I blow it up, they don't know whats up
If they think for a second that I do it for the fame
'Cause I make music to numb your brain
I make music to numb your brain
I make music to numb your brain
I make music to numb your brain
Bottle after bottle, I am balling like Robert Griffin
Never made love I had her coming from a distance
Said I was a mason, Martin Margiela
Triple Beam, hustling, that's full of cheddar
Yellow brick road, I'm told it's just a cakewalk
Now it's Philip Lim on them, no more 8-Balls
Un-cut, my love that's all thug
Call them different names in the middle of the plug
Went on world tours, paid in all cash
Top floor views, my wall is all glass
All paid dues but normally fall fast
Same bitch you shittin' on the only thing that'll last
I am trying to see 100 of 'em
Kobe Bryant money, nigga you ain't gotta love him
Swish, new rims on the six
Tell me that you numb if you not feeling this, Rick
When I make the wave, you ride it (Ride the wave, ride the wave)
If you insane and it's late in the night
You can smoke one, pop one, close your eyes
You can say this in your mind
And I say it all the time
I'm the same, insane
It's a damn good time
It's a damn good time
I'm just saying it's a damn good time
In-vi-gorating, impact ya like ice
Beat, pulsating, your heart skips twice
On the bass drum, and them pumps so nice
Heart skips twice, and them pumps so nice
On the bass drum, pumps so nice
Heart skip, ride the wave
I make music to numb your brain
I make music to numb your brain
I make music to numb your brain
I make music to numb your brain
It's a damn good time, I'm just saying it's a damn good time
When I make the wave (ride the wave)
When I make the wave (ride the wave)
I make music to numb your brain
The lyrics of Cassie's song "Numb" featuring Rick Ross seem to be all about the experience of music itself. The chorus repeats several times, "I make music to numb your brain", perhaps suggesting that music is a form of release or escape for both the artist and the listener. Cassie's voice is enigmatic and dreamy, washing over the listener in waves just as the lyrics suggest, "when I make the wave, you ride it."
The verses are a bit more exploratory in nature, with Rick Ross chiming in to rap about his experiences as a successful artist: "new young ruler of the beat and the vox," "top floor views, my wall is all glass." The mention of Robert Griffin, Kobe Bryant, and Philip Lim suggest a certain level of wealth and power.
Overall, the lyrics of "Numb" seem to be more concerned with the feelings and experiences of music itself, rather than any particular message or story. The song suggests that music can help one escape from reality, feel energized, and maybe even feel a bit numb.
