Rumble
Chris Miles Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Lately I just feel so down
My feet been on the ground, love is all around
But I feel depressed again
So one day I was walking through town
Seen a homeless man, waiting patiently
I didn't know what to expect of him
Like "do you got a dollar for me?"
I reached into my pocket, for my wallet
He looked at me and gleamed
His jacket was green but I don't think it was made that way
It had me thinking for a second then my brain went blank
But I pulled out a twenty and said "damn here's some money"
His face was looking confused and it stayed that way
He shouted "don't be so ungrateful though that is yours for the taking
I appreciate the donation, have an amazing day"

He told me...
Young man rumble, young man rumble, rumble
Young man rumble, young man rumble, rumble
Young man rumble, young man rumble, rumble
Young man rumble, young man rumble, rumble
La-da-da-da-do-do, La-da-da-da-do-do-do-do
La-da-da-da-do-do, La-da-da-da-do-do-do-do

Lately I don't feel so down, my feet been on the clouds
Love is all around, I can feel it entering
So one day I was walking through town
Strolled into a restaurant
And then I found a girl that's crying helplessness
Like "what would be the problem sweetie?"
She picked her head up right off the table
She had tears on her cheek, her voice sounded weak
She said her daddy's K.I.A
It had me thinking for a second then my brain went blank
But I said "Where's your mommy?
You got her so don't you worry
I'm sorry about your daddy, I'm sure he was brave"
A couple days ago a homeless man
Started dropping some knowledge
That changed up my whole perspective
This is what he say
Now I say...

Young girl rumble, young girl rumble, rumble
Young girl rumble, young girl rumble, rumble
And she says...
Young man rumble, young man rumble, rumble
Young man rumble, young man rumble, rumble
La-da-da-da-do-do, La-da-da-da-do-do-do-do
La-da-da-da-do-do, La-da-da-da-do-do-do-do
La-da-da-da-do-do

Whether you driving Bugatti's or Subaru's
Life can be painful cause nobody bulletproof
I am just thankful there's not much I couldn't do
Any way you wanna be, you got it
If you thinking it's impossible, then that is highly childish
The sky is no limitations baby
Yeah we got it covered
From a stranger to your mother
We gon' rumble, rumble, eh, eh
And every now and then I'm stuck in rubble
Tryna rise but I just stumble
It's alright though, I'm not bugging
Cause I know that I am blessed
And someone else that go through struggle
Would just kill to be where I am
I am humbled, rumble, yeah

Young man rumble, young man rumble, rumble
Young man rumble, young man rumble, rumble
Young man rumble, young man rumble, rumble
Young man rumble, young man rumble, rumble




La-da-da-da-do-do, La-da-da-da-do-do-do-do
