B
Jaden Smith Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Thy hair 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 Nyquil
Stressed out because we fight
Will we ever get this right?

'Cause thy hair inspired God to make the breeze
Thy lips inspired God to make a man (no more)
And from his rib an angel born as Eve
Formed into flesh and promised him her hand (so lay me)

So lay me down in Eden under stars
And show me why it's us that he will choose (take me home, take me home)
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 (thy hair inspired God to make the breeze)

Well maybe, 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 "Wait, is this it 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 plaque after plaque, 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 run away




Take you to a sunny place
Girl, follow me into the ocean

Overall Meaning

In Jaden Smith's song B, the first two lines of the lyrics speak to the idea that the person the song is addressed to is so beautiful that every part of them inspires God to create something remarkable. The hair inspires the breeze and the lips inspire a man. The third line speaks to the creation of Eve from Adam's rib, in order to give him a companion. The song then shifts to the artist's current struggles with this person, crying at night and unable to sleep without Nyquil. They're fighting and feeling stressed and unsure if they'll ever be able to get their relationship right.


The reference to Eden in the fourth stanza is a nod to paradise, specifically with the idea that the couple can achieve paradise together. The person the song is addressed to has the power to show why it is they are meant to be chosen. They are willing to die here and don't want the other to cry because it makes them blue. The song ends on an introspective note, with the artist talking about their struggles with the relationship and their own successes and failures in their life. They are aware of their past mistakes but want to move forward and take this person to a "sunny place."
