I'll give you a song
J. A. Smith Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴

I'll be the song, and you be the beat
Or I'll be the song, and I'll be the
Last night I had a revelation, and it was pretty sweet
Don't need you to complete me, cause I'm already com
Last night I had a revelation, and it was pretty sweet
Don't need you to complete me, cause I'm already complete
Don't need a Prince Charming, to sweep me off my feet
Don't mean to be alarming, but I'm already complete
Don't need a Prince Charming, to sweep me off my feet
Don't mean to be alarming, but I'm already complete
You're like icing on the cake
But my cakes already baked
You can be the sticky sweet
I'll be the song, and you be the beat
You're like icing on the cake
But my cakes already baked
You can be the sticky sweet
I'll be the song, and you be the beat
I'll be the song, and you be the beat
Or I'll be the song, and I'll be the
Last night I had a revelation, and it was pretty sweet
Don't need you to complete me, cause I'm already com
Last night I had a revelation, and it was pretty sweet
Don't need you to complete me, cause I'm already complete
Don't need a Prince Charming, to sweep me off my feet
Don't mean to be alarming, but I'm already complete
Don't need a Prince Charming, to sweep me off my feet
Don't mean to be alarming, cause I'm already complete
You're like icing on the cake
But my cakes already baked
You can be the sticky sweet
I'll be the song, you be the beat
You're like icing on the cake
But my cakes already baked
You can be the sticky sweet
I'll be the song, you be the beat
I'll be the song, and you be the beat
Or I'll be the song, and I'll be the beat
I'll be the song, and you be the beat
Or I'll be the song, and I'll be the beat
I'll be the song, and I'll be the beat
Or you be the song, and I'll be the beat
You're like icing on the cake
But my cakes already baked
You can be the sticky sweet
I'll be the song, you be the beat
You're like icing on the cake
But my cakes already baked




You can be the sticky sweet
I'll be the song, and you be the beat

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of J. A. Smith's song convey a powerful message of self-empowerment and independence. The singer metaphorically compares themselves to a song and the other person to the beat, suggesting that they are already whole and complete on their own. They have a revelation that they don't need anyone else to make them feel complete or fulfilled because they are already content with who they are. The repetition of the lines "Don't need a Prince Charming, to sweep me off my feet" and "Don't mean to be alarming, but I'm already complete" emphasizes this sense of self-assurance and self-sufficiency.


The imagery of "icing on the cake" and "sticky sweet" paints a picture of the other person as an additional, delightful presence in the singer's life, but not a necessary one. The line "But my cakes already baked" reinforces the idea that the singer is already whole and fulfilled, with or without the other person. The repeated chorus "I'll be the song, you be the beat" further reinforces the message of independence and self-reliance.


Overall, the lyrics celebrate self-love, self-acceptance, and the importance of being complete within oneself before seeking validation or fulfillment from others. The song empowers listeners to embrace their own worth and not depend on external sources for happiness or completeness.
