Chris Brown Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

When it's over now
Nothing left for the enemy
When the show goes down
And you silence the melody
(That's when you say)
I'll be that sound boy inna L.A.
Rude boy inna Kingston
Bad boy inna New England

New York the whole kingdom

I ain't got the remedy
But when they root for me
You see I'm what they see
I'm living in the sin it's how it's gonna be
I heard the boy is sinnin' and they die for me

Wadadadang wadadadadang
Well you coming on the dance
And now we shaped up our game
Wadadadang wadadadadang
And you know we never ever stop
Beat them to the end
See them on top on them
Willin them, killing them
And then one after
See it
Run to it when nobody asked to be drop off
When we on my bred Snoop Lion
Meets his blessing love and honor
To what we are apart
And to what we are even
You know say it all we all prosper
News flash pick a little ash
Every website and blog
Snoop and Busta in the studio
Hanging out here, get a little bit of snap on
Don't ever get it twisted
See we gifted when together
Reincarnated Snoop Lion, Selassie I forever

I ain't got the remedy
But when they root for me
You see I'm what they see
I'm living in the sin it's how it's gonna be
I heard the boy is sinnin' and they die for me

Somebody help me wake up
And make it rain on my head
Let it rain, let it rain, let it rain on my head
Set it free, so complete, everything has come to ending
Let it breathe

When the background clears
And you're the one standing there
You're running out of time
You're praying that you make a hit
Whatever they do, whatever they do to you
Whatever they say, whatever they say to you too bad
Sound off inna Paris
Roll call inna Lebanon
Bandoleros inna Mexico
Can you hear me, the whole kingdom

I ain't got the remedy
But when they root for me
You see I'm what they see
I'm living in the sin it's how it's gonna be
I heard the boy is sinnin' and they die for me

Somebody help me wake up
And make it rain on my head
Let it rain, let it rain, let it rain on my head

Set it free, so complete, everything has come to ending
Let it breathe

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Chris Brown's song "Remedy" convey a sense of resilience and determination in the face of challenges. The opening lines suggest that despite the end of a situation or relationship, there is nothing left for the enemy. The show metaphorically comes to an end and the melody is silenced, indicating the need for a fresh start. The lyrics also express a sense of identity and belonging, with mentions of being a "sound boy inna L.A." (in Los Angeles), a "rude boy inna Kingston" (in Kingston, Jamaica), and a "bad boy inna New England" (in the New England region of the United States). The mention of New York as the whole kingdom further emphasizes a sense of belonging and dominance.

The chorus emphasizes a lack of remedy or solution, but highlights the support and loyalty received from fans or those who root for Chris Brown. Despite being perceived as living in sin or making mistakes (as referenced by the notion of the "boy sinnin'"), there is a willingness for others to die for him, which could be interpreted as a metaphorical expression of devotion or unwavering support.

The later verses mention various locations and a roll call of different types of individuals, creating a sense of unity and recognition across different cultures and backgrounds. The repetition of "let it rain on my head" and "let it breathe" suggests a desire for freedom, release, and completeness after enduring challenges or hardships.
