Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
What's goin' on? (whats goin' on?)
Steady are you ready? (are you ready)
What's goin' on? (tell me whats goin' on)
Cold fresh air feel the mellow dip that's in the air
Oh yea, I'm bound take a look around
Oh, whats goin' down?
However do you want me?
However do you want me?
However do you need me?
However do you want me?
However do you need me?
However do you want me?
However do you need me?
I'm living at the very top of the floor
There's no more room for anything more
I state my name, my name's to claim
Ah
This is M. J. B.
Uh yea, now girl step up to Kiss
You sippin' red zyphandile, step up to crys
The coupe got 19's, the chain's got nice gleam
Girlfriend, you been scooped like ice cream
Your ass is fat, your frame is little
Got the door knockers on with your name in the middle
On the dance floor gettin' it in with me
Might let you and your friend hit me
Soon as the wind hit me
I live dare, legendary the top of the globe
So there is no more room for anything more
And I state my name, my names to claim
Jadakiss I done came here and changed the game
Now we at the point where your birthdays is costly
Got you a scotted outfit and a teacup yorkey
Head so crazy that its killing me softly
Sit down tell me how you want and how you need me
Its the bomb Mary and Clue please believe me
However do you want me?
However do you need me?
However do you want me?
However do you need me?
However do you want me?
However do you need me?
However do you want me?
However do you need me?
However do you want me?
However do you need me?
However do you want me?
However do you need me?
However do you want me?
However do you need me?
However do you want me?
However do you need me?
However do you want me?
However do you need me?
The lyrics in J.T.'s song Back to Life are focused on the concept of being present in the moment and living life to the fullest. The opening lines "Steady are you ready?" and "What's goin' on?" are a call to action directed at the listener to be mindful and aware of their surroundings. The subsequent lines "Cold fresh air feel the mellow dip that's in the air" and "Oh yea, I'm bound take a look around" reinforce this idea of taking in one's environment and experiencing the present moment fully.
The lyrics then transition to a focus on personal identity and individuality. J.T. declares that he is "living at the very top of the floor" and that "there's no more room for anything more." He then "states his name" in order to claim his identity and assert his place in the world. The repetition of "However do you want me? / However do you need me?" throughout the song can be interpreted as a question about how the people around him perceive him and a desire to be recognized and valued for his unique qualities.
The final section of the song features verses from Mary J. Blige and Jadakiss, both of which continue the overall themes of living in the moment, celebrating individuality, and asserting oneself in the world. The song's upbeat tempo and catchy chorus encourage listeners to embrace life and all its possibilities.
