Deyah Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
chima can back that
i got a man we watch match of the day
didn't know when we matched but match that
1 in a mil man catch that
damn manna fine like a tax grab
2 2 duffles in a hatchback
i put 10 in the gas bag - saving a 10 for
snapback i digress better clapback
feds on my door got the wrong number
a lie never seen another bike that's fact
i saw 2 man stack then pack
one was white and the other one
white
i got a space at the back of the bank
whip too bait as i move up the ranks
i don't care for the fame or the plaques
or the back of the stage
i attack when i'm back on a wave
jet lag never lacks never stays
in my flat as I map out the day
white flag as i fight out this cage
no cake but my candles i know them by flame,
certain celebs i know them by name
couldn't give a zed cos i'm ghosting from fame
post on the gram just to keep in the game
it's a tac tic, now they're getting on me for the tik tok
i don't wanna tick tac toe but tic tac toe is the tactic
bare like tic tacs
bars like riffraff
gin gets me licked back, so i have the pink batch
lemonade with that
ice for the slick man
eyes on the tricks fam
they say that i'm a nightmare to market
you shouldn't be flipping demanding
I go where i'm feeling to go
(What you saying fam?)
I don't stress see how we go
(What you saying fam?)
I go where i'm feeling to go
(What you saying fam?)
I don't stress see how we go
(What you saying fam?)
I go where i'm feeling to go
(Been tryna call you still)
I go where i'm feeling to go
(Been tryna call you still)
I go where i'm feeling to go
(Been tryna call you still)
I go where i'm feeling to go
(Been tryna call you still)
i had a flashback back when i flashed up the black cab
grab dash, dashboard heat like a flat pan, grab cash
cash fast, fold up quick like a flat pack
footage on the dash cam - base on the trap mash
i got an eye for the length of the backlash
scene 10 act fast watching for a backstab
use to the bruise from a wound now they swoon cos they know that i rise like pheonix
ima double on you like venus,
arenas, jam packed, straw can't bury where the field is
weedless, when i get vex gyala fiending
seedless - fruits that i bare are revealing
peanut - size of my head when i'm sleeping
no dreaming
needless to say i converse with my demons and let em know they can go to hell where their needed
I go where i'm feeling to go
(What you saying fam?)
I don't stress see how we go
(What you saying fam?)
I go where i'm feeling to go
(What you saying fam?)
I don't stress see how we go
(What you saying fam?)
I go where i'm feeling to go
(Been tryna call you still)
I go where i'm feeling to go
(Been tryna call you still)
I go where i'm feeling to go
(Been tryna call you still)
I go where i'm feeling to go
(Been tryna call you still)
The lyrics to Deyah's song "HUSH" talk about a confident and independent person who is determined to achieve success in life. The first verse seems to depict a scene where the singer is told to be quiet and not argue with her mother, but she rebels against this notion stating "Chima can back that". She then goes on to talk about being in a relationship where her partner and her watch "Match of the day", but she is confident about her worth as a woman, saying that she is a rare catch as she's one in a million. She also talks about having two bags of cash in the trunk of her car and siphoning what's needed for fuel.
The second verse seems to emphasize her independence and determination to be successful in her own right. She talks about not caring about fame, plaques, or being on the back stage of anything. She is simply driven by her innate desire to succeed, even if it means being a "nightmare to market." She also talks about going where she feels like going and not stressing out about things much. The last part of the song emphasizes her resilience and determination to succeed in life despite any setbacks or negative influences that may crop up.
