Blue Moon
EarthGang Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And the sun goes down on me and you
Who holds the light?
I been hustlin', I don't get no rest, once in a blue moon
Every time I got life figured out, I get bad confused
(Bad confused, bad confused, bad confused, bad confused) yeah, okay
Still, I take the gamble, I'm rollin' the dice (woo)
Knowin' I wasn't willin' to sacrifice
I invested too much time in my trajectory
Rely on my obsession, bitch, I'm finna level up
I'm only lettin' you chill 'cause you let me fuck
And I ain't tryna dog you out
But while you in a nigga face, I'm plottin' and makin' plays
I'm put on this earth to conquer, it's a limit to my days
She say, "Fuck with me papi, get up inside of me"
I'm lovin' her body so deep, it feel like she part of me
I said, "Hold up, lil' Mama", we complicatin' by promisin'
We'd hate to find out, this shit ain't as great as we thought it'd be"
Yoncé and Hova Carter ain't common (no)
We'd be smarter to just fuck and enjoy the camaraderie (yeah)
We not each other property, but wait (huh?)
She ain't waste a breath to argue, she just put it in my face (ah, haha)
Girl, fuckin' around with you gon' have me late (ah)
I been hustlin', I don't get no rest, once in a blue moon
Every time I got life figured out (ooh), I get bad confused
(I get bad confused, I get bad confused)
I been hustlin', I don't get no rest
Once in a blue moon (once in a blue moon, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh)
Every time I got life figured out (ooh, every time)
I get bad confused (ooh baby, ooh baby, oh, ooh baby, yeah)
You know I'm so elated, overjoyed and grateful, euphoric
I want everyone to know it, if you hatin' it's gon' show
Slap a smile on my face, that'll brighten up the whole damn place
Scoreboard, I'll take ya, come along
Tell me how you ever stepped out on half-baked dreams
Fed fifty lil' niggas with the fish out the streams (ooh)
I made it, I suppose, her grace is, overflowin' (feel it comin')
I'd be a God damn fool if I took all the credit (no, no)
See the power runnin' through me
All I had to do is get out my way (shoo, shoo)
Short circuit, doors turnin', like the Six Flags gate
Was the time they was shut in my face
But I ain't complainin', I ain't connivin'
I ain't complying unless it's got time to turn up the bass
Baby, I'm praisin', I'm crazy
Come on over honey, give me some sugar
Come on over sugar, give me some honey
Put it right on my tongue and I get back to the money
I been hustlin', I don't get no rest, (I don't get no rest)
Once in a blue moon
Every time I got life figured out (ooh), I get bad confused
(I get, I get)
I been hustlin', I don't get no rest, once in a blue moon (ow, ow)
Every time I got life figured out (I get), I get bad confused
Once in a blue moon
Blue moon, ooh-ooh
"Blue Moon" by EarthGang is a song that talks about the personal struggles and uncertainties that come with hustling and trying to make a living. The opening lines set the tone for the overall contemplative nature of the song. The night is theirs, the stars rise, and the sun goes down, leaving them to wonder who holds the light. This line asks the haunting question of who controls one's fate, especially in the midst of the struggles of life. The lyrics go further to explore the life of hustling and the pains that come with it. The song describes the pain of not resting, the struggle to figure life out, and the confusion that comes with it. The lyrics "Every time I got life figured out, I get bad confused," represents the confusion that comes from hustling, and despite the trials, the artist remains committed to their passion.
The verses juxtapose the push and pulls of indulging in pleasure in the moment and the realization that it might not be worth it in the end. With notable lines like "I'm put on this earth to conquer, it's a limit to my days, and "We'd be smarter to just fuck and enjoy the camaraderie", EarthGang contrasts the desire to indulge in momentary pleasure and the fear of the potential consequences that may arise. The song speaks to the struggle of hustling and maintaining the balance between indulging in pleasure and achieving one's goals.

The night is ours and the stars, they rise

And the sun goes down on me and you
As the sun sets, we are together

When I first met you, I had a feeling that you would cause problems
Still, I take the gamble, I'm rollin' the dice (woo)

Blue moon you saw me standing alone
Without a dream in my heart
Without a love of my own
Blue moon, you knew just what I was there for
You heard me saying a prayer for
Someone I really could care for
And then there suddenly appeared before me
The only one my arms will hold
I heard somebody whisper "Please adore me"
And when I looked, the moon had turned to gold!
Blue moon!
Now I'm no longer alone
Without a dream in my heart
Without a love of my own
And then there suddenly appeared before me
The only one my arms will ever hold
I heard…

How I am only hearing this for the first time in 2020....but still ain't mad. Dope.

Maybe it’s because it’s 2020 the year of clarity and the blue moon is no more then 30 days from now.
