Joy
D.O & 이준 Feat. Lyn Lyrics

Nappy head black boy
The singer addresses a young black boy with unkempt hair.

What happened to your joy
The singer wonders why the young boy's joy has disappeared.

Young black boy, stuck in da-void
The young boy feels stuck and unable to move forward in life.

Been missing yo voice, missing the choices
The artist thinks the young boy's lack of joy is due to him not speaking up and making choices for himself.

Stuck in noises, I wonder who knows this
The young boy is surrounded by distractions and the artist wonders if anyone else notices.

Wonder Who shows it, With that blank faces
The singer wonders if anyone is willing to help the young boy, despite their seemingly disinterested expressions.

You really wouldn’t know it
The young boy is struggling internally and it may not be visible to others.

But it’s all shock when the lows hit
The artist believes that when the young boy hits rock bottom, it will come as a surprise to everyone around him.

All rock bottom, when the notes sit
The young boy feels like he has hit rock bottom when he is left in silence.

Nappy head black boy

What happened to your joy
The singer continues to ponder why the young boy is lacking in joy.

JoyFul dayz

Hair picked out, sun baked with the rayz
The young boy used to have his hair styled and would spend time outside in the sun.

Don’t you miss them youthful ways
The singer believes the young boy yearns for his carefree and happy childhood.

Just smoking back on your Friday’s
The young boy now spends his Fridays smoking weed to cope.

Mama can’t help but just pray
The young boy's mother can only pray for her son's well-being.

Preaching god gonna find a way
The artist believes that only God can solve the problems the young boy is facing.

To fix my nappy headed days
The young boy wants God to fix his life.

Blunts burn out
The young boy smokes so much weed that his blunts run out.

Where my head lays
The young boy spends so much time smoking that he falls asleep easily.

Blunts turn out
The young boy's weed supply is depleted.

Where my day stays
The young boy spends his days smoking weed and doing nothing else.

I smoke on my merry way
The young boy continues to smoke weed despite his problems.

Nappy head black boy
The artist acknowledges the young boy's appearance once again.

What happened to your joy
The singer repeats their questioning of the young boy's lack of joy.

Pray, Pray, Pray someday i change
The young boy prays that one day he will change.

Nappy hair and novocaine
The young boy is using drugs to cope with his problems.

I use it to fix the pain
The young boy is using drugs to numb his emotional and physical pain.

But somehow it’s not the same
The young boy realizes that drugs can't fix his problems in the long term.

I just need to find my lane
The young boy needs to find a purpose in life to get back on track.

With the love and all the pain
The young boy needs to experience both love and pain to grow and change.

No more doubts
The young boy needs to be confident in himself and his choices.

No sense of same
The young boy needs to embrace change and not stay stuck in the same place.

With my naps like all who came
The young boy's hair is a part of his identity and he should embrace it.

After this life’s not the same
The young boy's life will change for the better once he finds his purpose.
