Bäng
Joel Fletcher Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Ya body go bang like a bullet
Don't make you a bigshot
Leave that booty in bed all tied up in a slipknot
(Uh yeah)
I be drip dripping swagger
I'm badder and still got
My 1, 2, 1, 2
So sick like the flu

Take your pills - POP!

There she go
Ohh-oh
Swishing it round
Baby get down like that
Like that
There she go
Ohh-no
Mami get real
It's time to face some facts
I hold the reins
I hold the keys
I hold the pink slips
I hold the jewels
Holding off fools loose lips sink ships

I get my swerve on
My nerves eased with this Mary-Jane

The world's on a string
It's a g-thang

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Joel Fletcher's song BANG allude to the sexual attraction that the singer feels towards a woman, while also exhibiting a sense of power and control in the relationship. The first line "Ya body go bang like a bullet" is a metaphor that portrays the woman's body as a powerful weapon that can make a man go weak at the knees. The next line "Don't make you a bigshot" suggests that the woman's sexual prowess does not define her as a person, and that the singer's attraction towards her has more to do with her physical attributes. The line "Leave that booty in bed all tied up in a slipknot" is a reference to bondage, a sexual practice that involves being tied up during intercourse. The phrase suggests that the singer is interested in experimenting sexually with the woman, but only in a consensual manner.

The second verse of the song suggests that the singer is confident in his abilities to control the situation with the woman, as evidenced by the lines "I hold the reins/I hold the keys/I hold the pink slips". The use of the metaphor suggests that the singer is the one in charge in the relationship, able to control the pace and direction of his interactions with the woman. The lyrics "I get my swerve on/My nerves eased with this Mary-Jane" suggest that the singer is able to relax and be himself when he is under the influence of drugs, which in turn allows him to be more confident in his sexual pursuits.
