Lovin' You
Inspectah Deck feat. La The Darkman Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

(intro: inspectah deck)
What is love? love is love
What is love? (loving you)

(inspectah deck)
Yo, examinin her hour-glass frame
Exotic name, passion, splashin the fly fashions
On the tube train, words soothin her brain
There's the cue, cross the platform, she 'bout to exchange
She rolled slowly and planted a kiss
And in the same motion, bounced off with the switch
Couldn't let here go, before the train pulled off
She gave me a look that described my thoughts
And I was hypnotized by her ebony eyes
She wised to my scheme, made her temperature rise
Hours later, still zonin off the moment
Happened so fast, it's over with
And now you're gone, like the same short time
But stay so heavy on my mind, i'm...

"loving you"

(la the darkman)
Yo, I met a bad chick, model actress
Soft as a mattress, said she was catholic
Physically attractive, earth-toned skin
Thick but thin, looked like she just came off an island


Rolled in porsches, lady was gorgeous
I'm tryin to ram bar down her mental fortress
Loved my name, la song, how'd you like to have my 4th born?
I'm the god, I'll be your umbrella in a storm
We can smoke, parlay, see a ghetto matinee
Don't worry about me, young thug, 'cause I'll stay...

"loving you"

(inspectah deck)
Dana was a girl I knew, she was true
Twist l's with the crew, bust the gat too
Had the stash labbed for when the jake rushed
'nuff head to grab, razors in bags
Lettin me rest my head, wild fugitive
Acceptin all collect calls throughout the bid
Like a big sister, I've got major love
She waved my hair, plus hold a gun in the glove
While you girls move like slippery eels
You the diamond in the rough that been keepin it real
That's why you're closer to me than most I roll with
Smoked bones, rolled dice and made dough with
And now you're gone like the same short time
But stay so heavy on my mind, i'm...





"loving you" (x2)

Overall Meaning

The song "Loving You" by Inspectah Deck is a romantic and reminiscing track that narrates a series of encounters and experiences with three different women. The song begins with the rapper describing his fascination with an unnamed woman he sees on a train. He observes her beauty and elegance but is only able to share a fleeting moment of intimacy before she disappears from his life. He continues to think about her and calls out her name while asking himself "what is love?".


The second verse introduces a second woman - a model and actress who is physically attractive and sexually appealing to the rapper. He fantasizes about having children with her and promises to protect her from the world's troubles. The final verse is dedicated to a woman named Dana with whom the rapper has a deep relationship that goes beyond just physical attraction. He describes her as a sisterly figure who has been by his side during difficult times and kept their bond strong even when he was in jail.


The recurring refrain "loving you" ties all three verses together, as the rapper reflects on the different ways in which he has experienced love and the strong emotions that these women have evoked in him.


Line by Line Meaning

Yo, examinin her hour-glass frame
I was checking out this woman's curvy figure


Exotic name, passion, splashin the fly fashions
She had a unique name, a fiery energy, and stylish clothes


On the tube train, words soothin her brain
We were on the subway and I was talking to calm her down


There's the cue, cross the platform, she 'bout to exchange
We reached our stop and she was about to switch trains


She rolled slowly and planted a kiss
She kissed me slowly and sensually


And in the same motion, bounced off with the switch
She quickly headed to her new train


Couldn't let here go, before the train pulled off
I couldn't let her leave before her train left the station


She gave me a look that described my thoughts
She read my mind and gave me a longing look


And I was hypnotized by her ebony eyes
Her dark eyes had me mesmerized


She wised to my scheme, made her temperature rise
She caught onto my intentions and got turned on


Hours later, still zonin off the moment
I was still daydreaming about that experience hours afterward


Happened so fast, it's over with
The encounter was brief and over quickly


And now you're gone, like the same short time
She left just as quickly as she arrived


But stay so heavy on my mind, i'm...
But I can't stop thinking about her, I'm...


Yo, I met a bad chick, model actress
I met a stunning woman who was a model and an actress


Soft as a mattress, said she was catholic
She had a gentle touch and was Catholic


Physically attractive, earth-toned skin
She was physically appealing with a warm, earthy complexion


Thick but thin, looked like she just came off an island
She had a curvy yet slim figure and appeared to have just returned from a tropical location


Rolled in porsches, lady was gorgeous
She arrived in fancy cars and was stunningly beautiful


I'm tryin to ram bar down her mental fortress
I'm trying to break through her emotional barriers


Loved my name, la song, how'd you like to have my 4th born?
She liked my music and even mentioned having a child with me


I'm the god, I'll be your umbrella in a storm
I see myself as a powerful figure who can protect her in tough times


We can smoke, parlay, see a ghetto matinee
We can hang out, smoke weed, and go to a cheap movie theater in the city


Don't worry about me, young thug, 'cause I'll stay...
She doesn't need to worry about me because I'll always be there for her


Yo, Dana was a girl I knew, she was true
Dana was a woman I knew who was loyal


Twist l's with the crew, bust the gat too
We smoked marijuana with our group of friends and carried guns around


Had the stash labbed for when the jake rushed
We had drugs hidden away in case the police came around


'nuff head to grab, razors in bags
We had a lot of cash and weapons on us


Lettin me rest my head, wild fugitive
She let me take a break from my crazy lifestyle of being on the run from the law


Acceptin all collect calls throughout the bid
She answered all of my collect phone calls while I was in prison


Like a big sister, I've got major love
She felt like a caring older sister and had a lot of love for me


She waved my hair, plus hold a gun in the glove
She helped me style my hair and had a gun ready in case we needed it


While you girls move like slippery eels
Other women are hard to catch, like slipping eels


You the diamond in the rough that been keepin it real
You are the rare gem who has remained honest and sincere


That's why you're closer to me than most I roll with
That's why I trust you more than most of my friends


Smoked bones, rolled dice and made dough with
We smoked marijuana, gambled, and made money together


And now you're gone like the same short time
But you're gone just like the other women who didn't stick around


But stay so heavy on my mind, i'm...
But I can't stop thinking about you, I'm...


"loving you" (x2)
Just loving you, even though you're not here
