Overall Meaning

The song "My Other Half" by Jah Vinci is about a man who is deeply in love with his girlfriend and cannot bear the thought of losing her. When the girl's father disapproves of their relationship, the man becomes worried that he will tear them apart and cause him to lose his other half. He tells the girl to ignore anything negative her father may say about him and focus on their love. The lyrics express the depth of his feelings for her, referring to her as his inspiration and motivation, and how she completes him as his other half.

The opening lyrics talk about how the man's girlfriend called him and told him that her father was not happy with their relationship. When she explained that he was studying hard and not spending time playing, the father did not understand why she was with him. The man tells the girl to ignore her father's negative comments and focus on their love. He believes that if they were to be torn apart by the father, it would "mash up me heart" because she is his other half and her love is god's perfect creation.

The chorus of the song repeats the idea that the girl is the man's motivation, and he is her inspiration. This reinforces the message that they are meant to be together. He sees her as a blessing, and even when they are apart, he takes the chance to see her. His love for her is not stressful, and they are meant to be together forever.
