Hii
Isaiah Rashad Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'll give you my light
Loving this here is wrong
But it feel nice
Ice cold in my veins
Ice cold in my veins
Ice cold you feel good
You take away from my pain
My address
Im on a plane
50 thousand altitudes high up
With a lease all on my brain
You was there for me in my lows and all of my gains
I'll give you this rain
If I could
But I know dirt won't let me do it
Insecure I need my newest
Been too good
We shared our laughs
Gotta move on that's in the past
This new feeling i hope it last
Kinda like forever like Keith sweat
Gave it to heaven I need my past
Gon spark the flame
Gimme all that you have
Dont hold back
I can't crash
tryna hold on keep falling off
Right back at it this anit golf
Cant just swing
And get back on
well you somehow lost
I think i
I think i
I think im lost
Won't you you gimme me light
I think I'm lost
I need that light
I think I'm l lost
I need the light
I think I'm lost
Won't you gimme my light
I think I'm lost
I need the light
I think I'm lost
Won't you gimme my light
see I'm addicted to light skin
women with nice friends
I only wanna fuck
anit tryna be with em
I know i couldn't change if i wanted

Isaiah Rashad's song "Hii" depicts a story of a person who is lost and in search of their way back. In the first verse, the person addresses someone who has been there for them through all the ups and downs, and is willing to give away all their shine and light to them. They admit that they know that loving this person may not be right, but it feels nice. The chorus repeats "I think I'm lost, won't you give me my light," indicating that the person is lost and needs someone to guide them back.
The second verse takes a different turn as the person talks about their addiction to light-skinned women with nice friends. They don't want a relationship but only to engage in sexual activity. They admit that they cannot change and are stuck in their ways. The chorus repeats again, highlighting the fact that the person is lost and needs guidance.
The overall theme of the song seems to be about feeling lost and in need of guidance, whether it be through a significant other or a higher power. The contrast between the first and second verse also shows that the person is battling with their inner demons and desires, making it difficult for them to find their way back.
