Different Galaxies
Dumbfoundead Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
A classic tale of Romeo & Juliet played back
I was from the city, the inner parts
She was from the hills attending fancy dinner parties but still
We managed to see each other I had a weekly bus pass
She has a merecedes c-class and trust it was much faster
I am a rapper she is a classic pianist
I sleep in boxers while she has a pair of fancy pajamas
We should just got to Nevada, get married and don't ever look back
She was the classiest, sassy, with a passion for fashion sense, smashin on any of those nasty ass hoodrats
Uncomparable, but only if her parents approved, maybe they got something against asian-american dudes, just playin
Either way I'm sayin it's just terrible news, can't give you 14 karats but can serenade you with tunes
You and me, we are two stars from different galaxies
Will we cross or be aligned? I guess that we'll see in time
I swig on 40 ounces she sips on champagne, she has a huge backyard I do the landscapin
I get her single roses, she gets me laker tickets, call her on my prepaid phone when I can't wait to kick it
We're quite the odd couple, but who are you to judge, I know it dont make sense, you can call it stupid love
But it's the whole world against us, they can try to stop us but we're going out like gangstas, I know that I'm hated by her camp
But I swear this'll end like the lady and the tramp, I'm just waiting for my chance
They keep saying that shes way too good for me, sometimes I wish sugar momma was sugar free
Cause I aint in it for the dough, I aint diggin for the gold, I just wanna show all yall what both of us been knowin
I don't want any problems or any of her dollas, I just want yall to leave us alone and don't call us
You and me, we are two stars from different galaxies
Will we cross or be aligned? I guess that we'll see in time
You and me, we are two stars from different galaxies
Will we cross or be aligned? I guess that we'll see in time
It's the whole world against us, they can try to stop us but we're going out like gangstas!
It's the whole world against us, they can try to stop us but we're going out like gangstas!
The lyrics of Dumbfoundead's song Different Galaxies tell a story of two lovers from opposite worlds. The singer, a rapper from the inner city, falls in love with a classic pianist from the hills who attends fancy dinner parties. The two are different in every way, from their social status to their taste in clothing. Despite their differences, the singer and his lover manage to see each other, even as they face criticism from others who disapprove of their relationship.
The lyrics suggest that the love between the singer and his lover is unconventional and faces opposition from others, but they refuse to let anyone stop them from being together. The use of the metaphor of stars from different galaxies adds to this image of two people from vastly different worlds trying to come together. The lyrics also touch on themes of social class, prejudice, and the power of love.
Overall, Different Galaxies is a love story with a strong message about the resilience of love in the face of society's expectations and prejudices.

Damn it’s really been 10 years. I was 15 when this song came out and I used to skip class and go to the library to listen to music on the school computers because I couldn’t afford a phone and this is one of the songs I would listen to. Classic
@GypsyTearsss
I miss your old music, this stuff is way too good
@MrPangulo007
No its my music. Go away :p
@jacque8619
Yo Dumb, I would love to see some more rap coupled with blues. This is the song that made you my favorite rapper years ago.
@DennyYTube
If you wanna hear sounds like this should listen to Sam Ock he produced the song he likes to mix hip hop woth jazzy elements :)
@MrPangulo007
Most rappers stop cuz they either already found someone or they havent seen action. Think about the material. How does a rapper get material? Life.
@user-ej2xz3lx2e
Rap coupled with blues can be about any topic.
@BankaiKid079
Get this on spotify?
@randypham4291
This is the type of music our generation needs. This is a rare piece of art right here.
@MrDeathraper
