Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Stay long enough so I can explain why I can't stay around
If you nervous just say it now (Quit)
I know you hurtin' but I make you smile
Take this time to light another L 'cause you know how I do affection
But I'm with you right now, baby countin' that as a blessin'
Oh you concerned with who checkin' like who you really be textin'?
You never gon' see me stressin' as long as I get to check
Roll one for my wo-wo
We can keep it on the low-low
Don't talk about it, Lord knows
Inhibitions, we explore those
I, yeah, need me sumn' different
It's mine, I can make time
No one do time
I'm gon' get up off this block 'cause ain't they real one
Only percussion we heard was steel drum
Now it's a symphony and I feel numb
Deal gum, I don't do that, not for the lip
I make it flip, no denail
You don't need no more Apparel for this year
No more excuses this year, know you ain't used to this
Heard that you ain't to new to this though
You get it quick, all stemmin' from a pic
You a-make your life fit so I will
Roll one for my wo-wo
We can keep it on the low-low
Don't talk about it, Lord knows
Inhibitions, we explore those
I, yeah, need me sumn' different
It's mine, I can make time
No one do time
I will roll one for my wo-wo
We can keep it on the low-low
Don't talk about it, Lord knows
Inhibitions, we explore those
I, yeah, need me sumn' different
It's mine, I can make time
No one do time, I'm-
The lyrics of Jalen Santoy's "Something Different" describe a late-night encounter with a person with whom he desires something different than his usual lifestyle. He wants to spend the night and explain why he can't stay around any longer. Jalen acknowledges that he knows this person is hurting, but he makes them happy by being there. He suggests smoking some weed to get into a relaxed mood for the time they spend together. The person is insecure and concerned that others will be checking and watching. Jalen reassures them that he is not worried about that and is grateful to be with them at that moment. He ends the song by repeating his desire for something different.
The song's opening verse portrays a yearning for something distinct, not the usual life one leads. Jalen presents a relaxed approach to relationships and an open-minded approach to love, all while portraying the emotions of the person he meets. The lyrics suggest a sort of confidence that is not boastful but supportive of the person he is with. Jalen's approach to the relationship is not dramatic but calm and sincere. He isn't seeking love as most people do but is open to a relationship with someone different, and for him, that is worth exploring.
