Choker Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I was never good at that man shit
Never good at that planned shit
Never good at that (exchange)
Never good at that (first aid)
Never good at that (long stay)
Still, though I could be your baby boy (all these
Butterflies falling on me) (ooh ooh ooh, i'm your)
You can't fool me
I see the cars in slow motion I see it all in slow motion
I'm looking way past where niggas thought
We could've been Thought we could've been
There's a residency open on my forehead
You can book the whole gig It's a long bid
But you gotta play the crowd right
And they love it when you call me
Baby boy (all these butterflies falling on me) (i'm your baby)
In Choker's song "Baby Boy," the singer talks about his struggles with masculinity and how he's not good at things that society deems as "man shit." He mentions that he's not good at shaving, planning, or dealing with injuries. Despite all of his shortcomings, he still wants to be seen as someone's "baby boy," and he enjoys the feeling of butterflies falling on him.
However, he also mentions that he sees through people who act like they're better than him. He has a unique perspective on life, as he sees things in slow motion and is able to look beyond what others think of him. There's a sense of melancholy in the song, as he mentions that there's a residency open on his forehead and that it's a long bid. It seems like he has a lot of emotional baggage and is struggling to find his place in the world.
Overall, "Baby Boy" is a poignant reflection on masculinity, insecurity, and the desire to be loved. It's a vulnerable and honest portrayal of a man who's trying to navigate his way through life, and it's easy to empathize with his struggles.
