The Song
Jay And Silent Bob Strike Back Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Picture all the possibilities
Sounds like a love song
Sounds like a love song
The most incredible, baby
Uh, mmm, mmm, mmm, mmm
Yeah, yeah, uh
So I gotta make the song cry
I can't see 'em comin' down my eyes
So I gotta make the song cry
Good dude, I know you love me like cooked food
Even though a nigga gotta move like a crook move
We was together on the block since free lunch
We shoulda been together havin' Four Seasons brunch
We used to use umbrellas to face the bad weather
So now we travel first class to change the forecast
Never in bunches, just me and you
I loved your point of view 'cause you held no punches
Still I left you for months on end
It's been months since I checked back in
We're somewhere in a small town, somewhere lockin' a mall down
Woodgrain, four and change, Armor All'd down
I can understand why you want a divorce now
Though I can't let you know it, pride won't let me show it
Pretend to be heroic, that's just one to grow with
But deep inside a nigga so sick
I can't see 'em comin' down my eyes
So I gotta make the song cry
I can't see 'em comin' down my eyes
So I gotta let the song cry, uh
I can't see it comin' down my eyes
So I gotta make the song cry
I can't see it comin' down my eyes
So I gotta make the song cry
On repeat, the CD of Big's "Me and My Bitch"
Watchin' Bonnie and Clyde, pretendin' to be that shit
Empty gun in your hand sayin', "Let me see that clip"
Shoppin' sprees, pull out your Visa quick
A nigga had very bad credit, you helped me lease that whip
You helped me get the keys to that V dot 6
We was so happy poor, but when we got rich
That's when our signals got crossed, and we got flipped
Rather mine, I don't know what made me leave that shit
Made me speed that quick, let me see, that's it
It was the cheese, helped them bitches get amnesia quick
I used to cut up they buddies, now they sayin' they love me
Used to tell they friends I was ugly and wouldn't touch me
Then I showed up in that dubbed-out buggy
And then they got fuzzy and they don't remember that
And I don't remember you
I can't see it comin' down my eyes
So I gotta make the song cry
I can't see it comin' down my eyes
So I gotta make the song cry
Yeah, I seen 'em comin' down your eyes
But I gotta make the song cry
I can't see it comin' down my eyes
So I gotta make the song cry
A face of stone, was shocked on the other end of the phone
Word back home is that you had a special friend
So what was oh so special then?
You have given away without gettin' at me
That's your fault, how many times you forgiven me?
How was I to know that you was plain sick of me?
I know the way a nigga livin' was wack
But you don't get a nigga back like that
Shit, I'm a man with pride, you don't do shit like that
You don't just pick up and leave and leave me sick like that
You don't throw away what we had, just like that
I was just fuckin' them girls, I was gon' get right back
They say you can't turn a bad girl good
But once a good girl's gone bad, she's gone forever
I'll mourn forever
Shit, I gotta live with the fact I did you wrong forever
I can't see 'em comin' down my eyes
So I gotta make the song cry
I can't see 'em comin' down my eyes
So I gotta let the song cry
I know, I seen 'em comin' down your eyes
But I gotta make the song cry
I can't see 'em comin' down my eyes
So I gotta make the song cry
It's fucked up, girl
"The Song" from Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back is a cover of Jay-Z's "Song Cry," a romantic ballad about the end of a relationship. The song begins with "Picture all the possibilities / Sounds like a love song," highlighting the potential of the relationship. However, the rest of the song unfolds the pain and complications of the failed relationship.
The singer reminisces about his former partner, who he had been with since they were kids on the block. They had experienced struggles together, using umbrellas to face bad weather and eating free lunch. They had eventually reached success but had grown distant, and the singer had cheated on his partner. The partner ended up leaving him due to his infidelity, and the singer laments his mistakes, unable to stop the tears from "comin' down [his] eyes." The song is ultimately about the deep pain of losing the person you love and the struggle to move on from it.

Picture all the possibilities
Consider all the different outcomes and options
Sounds like a love song
This appears to be a romantic melody
The most incredible, baby
You are truly amazing, my love
I can't see 'em comin' down my eyes
I am starting to cry, but I'm trying to hide it
So I gotta make the song cry
I'll express my feelings through this song instead
Good dude, I know you love me like cooked food
You are a good and trustworthy friend, who cares for me deeply
Even though a nigga gotta move like a crook move
Despite having to act like a criminal at times
We was together on the block since free lunch
We grew up together in the same neighborhood, relying on free meals for sustenance
We shoulda been together havin' Four Seasons brunch
We should be living lavish, enjoying high-end meals together
I can understand why you want a divorce now
I can see why you would want to end our relationship
Though I can't let you know it, pride won't let me show it
However, I can't admit it to you because my pride won't allow it
Pretend to be heroic, that's just one to grow with
I'll pretend to be brave and strong, in hopes of improving myself
But deep inside a nigga so sick
But inside, I'm really hurting and struggling
On repeat, the CD of Big's 'Me and My Bitch'
I keep listening to the same song over and over
Watchin' Bonnie and Clyde, pretendin' to be that shit
We're watching a movie about outlaws, imagining ourselves in similar situations
Empty gun in your hand sayin', 'Let me see that clip'
You hold an unloaded weapon, asking to see the ammunition
Shoppin' sprees, pull out your Visa quick
We go on extravagant shopping trips, using your credit card
You helped me get the keys to that V dot 6
You assisted me in acquiring a luxurious car
Rather mine, I don't know what made me leave that shit
I should have stayed with you, but I don't know why I left
Made me speed that quick, let me see, that's it
I was driving recklessly, that's all I can remember
They say you can't turn a bad girl good
It's difficult to change someone's negative behavior
But once a good girl's gone bad, she's gone forever
Once a well-behaved woman becomes rebellious, it's hard to change her back
I'll mourn forever
I'll grieve my mistake for a long time
It's fucked up, girl
This situation is messed up, my dear
