B
Jaden Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Thy air inspired God to make the breeze
Thy lips inspired God to make a Man
And from his rib an angel born as Eve
Formed into flesh and promised him her hand

Why do I cry at night still?
Can't sleep without the night quilt
Stressed out because we fight
Will we ever get this right?

'Cause
Thy air inspired God to make the breeze
Thy lips inspired God to make a Man
And from his rib an angel born as Eve
Formed into flesh and promised him her hand

So lay me down in Eden under stars
And show me why it's us that he will choose
If happy I would die here in your arms
Don't cry because the ocean makes me blue
So blue, so blue

(So blue)
So blue, so blue, oh
So blue
So blue, so blue, oh
So blue
So blue, so blue, oh
So blue
So blue, so blue (Thy air inspired God to make the breeze, oh)

No, baby baby I don't give a fuck
I'm sick of kissing up
I used to miss us taking pics and kissing
Now you miss the club
I pull my zipper up
Start to think is this for us now
'Cause I fell for you
See, I'm the living Icarus, relationships and scars
I'm lookin' around and girl what happened to me?
(What happened? What happened? What happened?)
They hate on me now but soon I'll be winning and fighting
The fight you will see it
And they mad at my accuracy
But my swaggy flow can't even rap to the beat
Better pass it to the chief
World is tragic and deceased
Cops selling crack in the street
But you look like the law
I know I broke your heart but I loved you from the start
Baby tell me all your secrets, baby you know this is hard
When I'm crying in your arms, staring at the stars
It's my

I knew that there would come a day
When you would wanna
You-you would wanna
You-you would wanna
You-you would wanna run away




Take you to a sonic place
Girl follow me into the ocean

Overall Meaning

The first two lines of the song B by Jaden speak of the innate beauty of the woman - her lips and air which inspired God to make a man and the breeze respectively. It is said that from the rib of the man, Eve was born as an angel who was then fleshed out to live as his companion. The song is an ode to the woman who has likely been a critical part of the artist's journey.


The chorus continues to describe the effect of the woman's beauty and the artist's love for her. He expresses his desire to be with her and die in her arms if he could. The melancholy tone of the lyrics could be due to the struggles in the relationship, the pain of fights, and the uncertainty that comes with loving someone.


In the second half of the song, Jaden raps about the struggles and conflicts in a romantic relationship. He talks of once missing the fun times they had together, but now being tired of kissing up to her. He recognizes the hurt that he has caused her but speaks of his deep love for her. He talks of his job and the negativity surrounding the world but looks for reprieve in her arms.
