Rather Be
D.J. Mash Up Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
What you rather be tonight?
Would you rather
Eat a bad apple and sleep for a week
Or break up with your prince?
Would you rather
Or go out with him? Ew!
Good, bad, dark, light
What you rather be tonight?
Doesn't matter what we do, 'cause I'd rather be with you
Rather be with you
Rather be with you
Doesn't matter who is who, 'cause I'd rather be with you
Rather be with you
Rather be with you
Would you rather
Give a big smooch to a frog
Or drop your phone, into a bog? No!
Would you rather
Sing with a squirrel while you twirl
Or have a zit? (Ugh!) End of the world
Good, bad, dark light
What you rather be tonight?
Doesn't matter what we do, 'cause I'd rather be with you
Rather be with you
Rather be with you
Doesn't matter who is who, 'cause I'd rather be with you
Rather be with you
Rather be with you
You-oo, you-oo
I'd rather be with you
You-oo, you-oo
I'd rather be with you
You-oo, you-oo
I'd rather be with you
You-oo, you-oo
Would you rather wear a shoe made of glass?
Or fall asleep in your class?
Be grounded under the sea?
Or help the beast with his fleas?
Take 100 dalmatians
On a three-week vacation
Prick your finger on a spindle?
Um, what's a spindle? Ugh!
Good, bad, dark, light
What you rather be tonight?
Doesn't matter what we do, 'cause I'd rather be with you
Rather be with you
Rather be with you
Doesn't matter who is who, 'cause I'd rather be with you
Rather be with you
Rather be with you
You-oo, you-oo
I'd rather be with you
You-oo, you-oo
I'd rather be with you
You-oo, you-oo
I'd rather be with you
You-oo, you-oo
I'd rather be with you
The lyrics of the song Rather Be by D.J. Mash Up is about having fun and choosing to be with someone rather than focusing on the choices that must be made. The lyrics are presented in a way that poses ridiculous questions with absurd options. The chorus of the song emphasizes that it does not matter what choices they make as long as they are together. The song is a playful and quirky representation of how love can make people care less about other things as long as they are with someone that they genuinely adore.
The lyrics make use of multiple rhetorical questions that highlight the absurdity of the options given, such as eating a bad apple and sleeping for a week, or giving a big smooch to a frog. The song also portrays a fun, laidback, and carefree tone. The emphasis of the song is about staying true to oneself and being comfortable with another person's presence, even when faced with problematic situations. The overall message is that being with someone you love, even when doing silly or unpleasant things, is better than not having them at all.

Lyrics:
Two trailer park girls go round the outside,
round the outside, round the outside.
“Ooooohhhhh!”
(Guess who’s back, back again
Shady’s back, tell a friendshady)
We’re a thousand miles from comfort,
we have travelled land and sea
But as long as you are with me,
there’s no place I’d rather be
I’ve created a monster, cuz nobody wants to
See Marshall no more they want Shady
I’m chopped liver
Well if you want Shady, then this is what I’ll give ya
A little bit of weed mixed with some hard liquor
Some vodka that will jumpstart my heart quicker
Then a shock when I get shocked at the hospital
By the Dr. when I’m not cooperating
When I’m rocking the table while he’s operating “Hey”
With every step you take,
Kyoto to The Bay.Strolling so casually
We’re different and the same,
gave you another name.Switch up the batteries
So the FCC won’t let me be Or let me be me so let me see
They tried to shut me down on.But it feels so empty without me
So Know with all of your heart, you can’t shame me
When I am with you, there’s no place I rather be
I said this looks like a job for me
So everybody just follow me
because we need a little controversy,
because it feels so empty without me
because we need a little controversy,
because it feels so empty without me
We set out on a mission,to find our inner peace
Make it everlasting so nothing sin complete
Little hellions, kids feeling rebellious
Embarrassed, their parents still listen to Elvis
They start feeling like prison is helpless,
Til someone comes along on a mission and yells “bitch”
A visionary, vision is scary, could start a revolution,
Pollutin’ the air waves a rebel
So let me just revel and bask,
In the fact that I got everyone kissing my ass
And it’s a disaster such a catastrophe
For you to see so damn much of my ass you ask for me?
Well I’m back fix your bent antenna
Tune it in and then I’m gonna enter
Into the front of your skin like a splinter
The center of attention back for the winter
I’m interesting, the best thing since wrestling
Infesting in your kids ears and nesting
If you gave me a chance I would take it
It s a shot in the dark but I ll make it
Know with all of your heart, you can t shame me
When I am with you, there s no place I rather be
I said this looks like a job for me
So everybody just follow me
Cuz we need a little controversy,
Cuz it feels so empty without me
When I am with you, there s no place I d rather be
Though I’m not the first king of controversy
I am the worst thing since Elvis Presley,
To do Black Music so selfishly
And use it to get myself wealthy (Hey)
There’s a concept that works
20 million other white rappers emerge
But no matter how many fish in the sea
It’ll be so empty without me
I said this looks like a job for me
So everybody just follow me
Cuz we need a little controversy,
Cuz it feels so empty without me
Know with all of your heart, you can t shame me
When I am with you, Cuz it feels so empty without me
Chorus
Hum dei la la la, la la la la la, la la la la la, la la la la
Hum dei la la la, la la la la la, la la la la la, la la la la
When I am with you, there s no place I d rather be
