HB2U
Isaiah Rashad Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Is there a Heaven? (Yes)
How do you know that? (You don't)

Yeah, yeah
I hope it all makes sense to ball like this, the large address
Ain't nothing stoppin' me but parking fees
Many hands settle down
If you don't ever get yourself straight, who the fuck is you gon' help, man?
I pray for many Thanksgivings, I pray that Tisha don't cook
You know her mama'll put sugar in they greens
That's that shit I never seen before
Bucket list, scratchin' off some shit you ain't never dreamed before
Sparkle up your pinky toe
Ayy, baby, I have no reason to stay, baby
My dream too big for this city
And Myrtle Beach ain't vacation
I can't go far as Nevada, see I only seen Vegas
If not these niggas, bet your senses betray ya
I need a day or
Two hoes plottin' on my cellular phone
I'm on speed dial, I'm your favorite problem, ya bitch smokin'
Meanwhile, went and got my tolerance thick
With that Stephen Curry arm reach
Oh, we always on top

Slip and slide, I'm out of here, inside the whip
A thousand years, a thousand year
I want my payback
It's all for you, baby, yeah
And slip and slide, I'm out of here, inside the whip
A thousand years, a thousand year
I want my payback
It's all for you, baby, yeah

Your face was blizzard, are you numb enough again?
How I sang it with that purple Power Ranger in my Benz
It's a Jeep, but I'm gon' get it
I'm still Rocem when I visit
Don't you dig into it deeper than that prophet, this is sinners
It's a long time comin'
Somehow, I always keep it peaceful when my kumbuya hunnids
Always looking for a good time, Sunny, that just my first name
Don't holler 'bout your father incentive, it's just a birthday
And a warning for repeatin' a cycle would be the worst way
Them hoes always callin' my number like it's a jersey
Them hoes always treatin' my Johnson like he a person
No matter what could happen, what happened to havin' purpose?
Translate for you scratchin' the surface
Motherfucker, I need my payback

Slip and slide, I'm out of here, inside the whip
A thousand years, a thousand year
I want my payback
It's all for you, baby, yeah
And slip and slide, I'm out of here, inside the whip
A thousand years, a thousand year
I want my payback
It's all for you, babe

You were never a human bein'
You were never a human bein'
You were never a human bein'

I should just pack up my bags and get loaded
She sick and tired of distance, I'm a ghost
This ain't the time of my life, but I'm still on drugs
Just that weekend buzz
Have I been cheatin' myself? I'm implodin'
She's sick and tired of, "Listen, I'm broke"
This ain't the time of my life, but I'm still on drugs
Just that weekend buzz

You were never a human bein'
You were never a human bein'
You were never a human bein'
You were never a human bein'
(You were never a human bein')

I should put all of my trust in religion
I've hit the pavement and busted my nose
This ain't as hard as it gets, but I'm still on drugs
Just that weekend buzz

You were never a human bein'
You were never a human bein'
You were never a human bein'

This ain't as hard as it gets, but I'm still on drugs (you were never a human bein')
Just that weekend buzz (weekend buzz)
This ain't as hard as it gets, still on drugs
Just that weekend buzz

Overall Meaning

The opening lines of the song HB2U by Isaiah Rashad suggests an exploration of faith, as the rapper asks if there is a heaven before answering his own question in the affirmative. Yet, he seems to be questioning the assurance of heaven's existence, asking how one can know for sure. The rest of the song moves through different themes, from materialism to relationships, as the rapper shares his perspective with his audience. One of the major themes of the song is struggling with a lack of purpose, as the rapper shares his dream of making it big in the music industry to escape the monotony and limitations of his current environment. He talks about packing his bags and getting loaded in a bid to escape, yet acknowledges that it is just a temporary fix to a deeper problem. He also makes reference to religion, suggesting that putting one's trust in it might be a solution to his problems.


Another theme is the rapper's struggle with addiction and its consequences. He mentions being on drugs several times, and the lyrics suggest a cycle of dependency that he cannot escape. The weekend buzz mentioned throughout the song suggests that he is unable to shake off the allure of substances, even when he is cognizant of their detrimental effects. The song's title 'HB2U' is also an abbreviation for Happy Birthday to You, suggesting a possible link to the rapper's own birthday and introspection surrounding growing older.


Overall, the song is a reflection of Isaiah Rashad's struggle with identity, purpose, addiction, and faith. It reveals his vulnerability and invites the listener to step into his world and ponder on the complexities of life and the pursuit of happiness.

Anyone who's been listening to Isaiah can agree this song gives Vintage Isaiah Vibes. So far this along with RIP Young is my favorites along with headshots. Respect for finally releasing the album.

Those are my top 3 songs as well! All 3 remind me of those old Isaiah vibes 👌🏽

@TheBbond7

I agree absolutely. That heavenly father is a jam as well especially that 3rd verse. His song Nelly also a jam.
