Wanna
Christon Gray feat. Jgivens Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴

School Of Roses, baby
I feel like it don't matter anymore
Used to the way the world turns
But I must say it spinning really fast when I look at us
I just
If I was just a few year younger
Girl, I could be your boy wonder
You could be my pre-madonna
What I'mma write for my daughter?
Got a ring on my finger
But it feels so guilty to get to slip it off when I fold my hands
She been looking at me all night long, and I know I can
I just
I just wanna give you my number
The girl like snow in the summer
Yeah, she's a conundrum
I keep it undercover but I

Shouldn't, but I wanna
Shouldn't, but I wanna
Shouldn't, but I wanna
Shouldn't, but I wanna
Shouldn't, but I wanna
Shouldn't, but I wanna
Shouldn't, but I wanna

Throw a quarter in the sky before it falls to the ground
I gotta call heads or tails
Throw my nickels and my pennies and my dimes in a wishing well
I just
Wanna be your triple digits
Be a millionaire for a minute
Make some lemonade with these lemons
But I could barely pay attention
I don't even know why I'm signed to a record label with an audience
'Cause nobody in CHH a superstar
They see Lecrae go crazy
But I don't wanna swim in the mainstream
Life guard, you better come save me
It could be a long way down, maybe

Shouldn't, but I wanna
Shouldn't, but I wanna
Shouldn't, but I wanna
Shouldn't, but I wanna
Shouldn't, but I wanna
Shouldn't, but I wanna
Shouldn't, but I wanna

Told myself to please stay strong
But she stayed long and the DJ's going
She ain't going home and why?
I wanna say bye
I wanna get away
Don't you think of me and her
She can't go
And please stay close
And you know how it goes
And ahhh
Gotta say bye
Gotta get away

Man, why this always gotta happen to me?
A song of a siren caught my iris
Slow wind from her island just crashed into the
Coastline and Poseidon attacks the new me
You know she know she bad, Mike Jackson-ily
And she just wanna thrill a man
Then a hand, scribbling off of the wall
Started with:
Dog, really she just wanna kill a man
Hope floats boats
But when Gilligan's on the wheel again
And he's fiddling with demonic riddles on that Ritalin
And the minnows in sin
In the wind
Like in the willows and spinning like ceiling fans
You just need to heal her man
Absolutely!
She just wanna share my light, I stole that line from an ab-soul loose leaf
Hold it Gray
I know the pain
Tryna be the holy homie protege
Then I sank in the ocean
And can't swim good
Frankly, this overdose on Novacain hurts the feel
Abba, Father, shouldn't but I wanna got a wife and daughter
Water water all around me
Yet the thirst is real
I'm praying
My eyes closed, I'm swangin'
Aiming for the fence but the game is dangerous
And the King stayed hanging
Save him
Show em how Nothing was the same then

Shouldn't, but I wanna
Shouldn't, but I wanna
Shouldn't, but I wanna
Shouldn't, but I wanna
Shouldn't, but I wanna
Shouldn't, but I wanna
Shouldn't, but I wanna

Told myself to please stay strong
But she stayed long and the DJ's going
She ain't going home and why?
I wanna say bye
I wanna get away
Don't you think of me and her
She can't go
And please stay close
And you know how it goes
And ahhh




Gotta say bye
Gotta get away

Overall Meaning

In Christon Gray's song Wanna, the artist expresses his inner thoughts and desires about a girl he is interested in, even though he knows that he shouldn't pursue her. Gray feels guilty and conflicted about the situation, as he is already married and has a daughter, but his attraction to the girl is so strong that he cannot help but want to be with her. In the song, he talks about wanting to give her his number, referencing that he wishes he could be younger so that they could be together.


However, Gray is also struggling with his music career and his place in the Christian Hip Hop genre. He acknowledges that nobody in the industry is a superstar, except for Lecrae, and he is hesitant about swimming in the mainstream. He also yearns to be successful and make lemonade out of the lemons life has given him. The song's chorus repeatedly emphasizes the internal struggle Gray is experiencing, with him recognizing that he shouldn't want what he does, but he cannot help but feel drawn to it.


The verse by guest artist Swoope further explores Gray's turmoil, mentioning the seductive power of a woman's beauty and the sinful desires that can arise from it. Swoope also references the struggles of being a Christian musician in a music industry that prioritizes fame and success. Overall, Wanna is a deeply personal and emotional track that reflects Gray's inner conflicts and search for identity.

Im baffled and utterly astonished that this only has been viewed 733 times. People obviously are sleeping on wonderful music. That or maybe your video doesn't have the lust, sex, and nakedness as is the norm in other vids to attract more viewers😔. I absolutely love this song and this album. It was my favorite album of 2014 and still getting much play this year too.

Beautiful song that encompasses the struggles of lust in the midst of frustration of ;and the occasional, rocky shores of Marriage. It dispels the notion that lust dies with marriage. Its a rather mature topic in the waters of Christians' Hip Hop that implies that the typical Christian life isn't a perfect or smooth road but, a rocky one & that we do indeed battle ourselves in the midst of 'seemingly' unfair odds; that the struggle of not being pleased; when things are not always full of sunshine but, enshrined strobe lights among the clouds.

It is indeed the honesty that is found in the Bible. From Moses to Paul. We struggle from lust and we should stop making it as if those struggles aren't strong and should warn each other of its clutches. Sexy or not, we see people struggle and the struggle is real. Not imaginary. Its real and it comes intentionally when we are weak.

Regardless, Very good job. Love these topics that are pretty honest but provide not only provide a solution but, an acknowledgement of conflict in the midst of its discovery.

The temptation is indeed real. But, we have Jesus. The fight is here.
