J. Spaceman Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Alright
Yea
I gotta confess
Weight of the world got me feeling hella stressed
I don't know what's next
Yea
Yea Uh
I like to fuck my ex cuz I like her tits
I really like sucking and fucking the clit
Yea cuz I got a magnum 22 and I'm talking 'bout my dick
Aye yo, we in this bitch again
Fuck the intro nigga I aint doing it
I hope to God that I spend less
Mother fuckers got me hella stressed
Been hella depressed
Thought about suicide but Im too alive
Life aint shit so you learn to hope less
In J. Spaceman's song "Introduction," the lyrics paint a picture of someone who is burdened by the weight of the world and feeling incredibly stressed. The opening lines, "Turn me down a little bit, Alright, Yea," suggest that the person is asking for some respite, perhaps from the overwhelming noises or pressures around them.
The next set of lyrics reveal the singer's confession. They admit that they don't know what comes next in their life, implying a sense of uncertainty and a lack of direction. The following line, "I like to fuck my ex cuz I like her tits," may seem crass but can be seen as a way for the person to escape their troubles momentarily. The explicit language used here signifies a desire for physical pleasure as a means of distraction.
The next lines continue this theme of sexual desire, with the reference to a "magnum 22," which alludes to the singer's genitalia. This explicit language could be seen as a way of asserting a false sense of power or confidence in the face of their struggles, as if to say that they have something to offer or boast about.
The lyrical shift that happens afterward, with the line "Aye yo, we in this bitch again, Fuck the intro nigga I ain't doing it," suggests a rebellious attitude, rejecting any formal introductions or expectations. This rebellion may stem from a place of frustration, as the singer expresses their hope to spend less and escape the stresses that others have placed upon them.
In the final lines, the lyrics take a darker turn as the singer reveals their struggles with depression and thoughts of suicide. The phrase "too alive" suggests a contradiction in wanting to end their life but also acknowledging the vitality that still exists within them. The statement "Life ain't shit so you learn to hope less" reflects a cynical outlook on life, exemplifying the emotional and mental toll it has taken on the person.
Overall, the lyrics of "Introduction" delve into the complex emotions of stress, desire, rebellion, and despair. It portrays a person who is grappling with the weight of the world and searching for moments of escape and validation, while also expressing a sense of disillusionment with life's hardships.

+BarryMoffat I too was at this Gig & its arguably the best gig of my life & his too i'd heard later.
I'd shivers running all over my body every song, i also heard the Spaceman had tears playing that gig , but don't quote me on it?
the Queens Hall was the perfect Venue for the gig, saw it again in the Carling Academy to a much larger crowd was good but not a patch on the QH gig
