Joey Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Pass the herbs
Pass the herbs, pass the herbs
Had to learn, had to learn (had to learn)
We just had to burn
It all started with this special herb
Then after that it came to sexual words
She played Bonnie and I collide with a vibe when I'm inside the walls
I cut my shorties on the side cause I decide that she all
Mine's, I keep her in my eyes at all times
Not because I don't trust her I just, can't get enough of her
On the phone late until her mom dukes be cussing her
She played the hustler and I'm like mad customers
Man swear I'm in love and ain't afraid to admit it
Be blowing up her line, man I swear I'm addicted, but
It's all cool cause when in love we all fools
They say men lie and women lay naked that's all foolin'
Numbers don't matter after the first night
Right, so what the fuck is love at the first sight
If you ask me, another stupid analogy
Made to cover flaws in the female anatomy
But I'm a keep gradually telling these bitches
Don't front, (don't front) don't front, (don't front)
Don't front, (don- don't front) don't front though
I got some weed and some fronto
(Don't front)
And you know I always hunt hoes
I tell 'em leave but don't walk through the front door
Now don't front, (don't front) don't front, (don't front)
Check, (don- don- don't front)
It's like a massacre when mass occur
I got a massive urge but I had to learn
Heard you had it on lock so I pass the word
I stash the herb, sit back observe
That she make me feel good is all I ask of her
In the clouds who would've known, We would've crash and burn
I prayed long and hard, hoping things will last with her
I ain't mad at her
But I really wish that it ain't have to hurt
Let's be blunt we're best buds
Both knew our role this is more than just a crush
I used to pick her up longing for our lips to touch
But now I rarely even see her
In everybody hood not even the law enforcement can keep up
She ain't want no one to know, so I kept it on the low
Any time that we would kick it, I make sure I had some toe
I thought I knew her better than anyone would know
Bagged her at her friends, but home were I would take her
Didn't know that she was a ho, that only wanted my paper
Whenever I was with her, my mind would just relax
Could've been the hot topic cause I swore we were a match and
I admit it girl you fine as hell
Don't know your perfume but you exert the finest smells
You tryna find her then follow her trail
She left a few old lovers inside of a jail
That's all a part of the tale
But I'm a keep gradually telling these bitches
Don't front, (don't front) don't front, (don't front)
Don't front, (don- don't front) don't front though
I got some weed and some fronto
(Don't front)
And you know I always hunt hoes
I tell 'em leave but don't walk through the front door
Now don't front, (don't front) don't front, (don't front)
Check, (don- don- don't front)
Hey yo don't tell me be patient with no doctor prescription
Emotionless positions and provocative visions
Should've known you missed a note like the octave was switching
Remember hate the game but she's spotting some glitches
It's a simulation yeah, stimulation
Take off your shirt, let me feel manipulative
My heart like the Himalayas but yeah I got a slay her
I'm crushing on you sweetheart but yeah I'm a player
Sort of like Isaiah so baby let me coach you
And I know I'm not the first jerk to approach you
So this ain't nothing new to you, nothing unusual
Nothing you ain't used to so my nothing is useable
We all try when you go bye, we all high
Truth is I'm never home and I'm cold if that's where the heart lies
So label me as heartless, it's not that I don't care
I just learned to use my heart less, gain sanity and lost stress
It put me in a state that just started taking a toll on me
Kept the secrets you told me, emotions I would hold beneath
Always kept the L so I know defeat
Said everything will feel much better soon as you know I leave
Not sure if it's the meds that made you think I'm mediocre
I was still body with a glove on, you know I'm a cold ma
I'm in animal pause, but you got an Ark
When it flooded, used to always feel like Noah
And I know I know her
Had these kind of skills I had to show her
So I told her I'm the nigga she see on the posters
Came back through and I put it in the holster
Just had to teach her one time
Put it down, don't really give a fuck though
Don't front
And tell your bitch don't front though
Don't front
Joey’s song Don’t Front delves into the complexities of love and relationships. The song’s opening lines indicate the importance of marijuana in the singer’s life. It is suggested that the special herb introduced Joey to sexual words, and he’s now meeting a woman to patch her a verse. Bonnie is the name of the girl, and the two have a strong connection. Even though Joey trusts her completely, he keeps her in his sight because he can't get enough of her. He admits to his addiction to this girl and how he is always in touch with her even when her mother gets angry with her for being on the phone late into the night. Joey reflects on how people say love is blind, and both men and women lie to get what they want.
He shifts to the chorus advising women not to front as he always has weed and girls to hunt. Another verse indicated that he learned to cope with heartache and became colder with his attitude as he gained sanity and lost stress. He feels that he’s in animal pause, while the woman is his Ark to safety. Joey underscores how crucial it is to perceive things through a particular lens so that everything can feel better.
Overall, Joey stresses the importance of honesty and openness in love and relationships. He values his connection with the opposite sex but doesn't shy away from admitting his inability to get over past relationships. The crux of the song lies in Joey's command to women to not front and be honest with their intentions, dropping the discourse of pretense and laying everything on the table.

We just had to burn
We just had to smoke marijuana
It all started with this special herb
Everything began with this particular marijuana
Then after that it came to sexual words
Then it escalated to talking about sex
I'm meeting shorty up to patch her a verse
I'm meeting a girl to share some lyrics with her
She played Bonnie and I collide with a vibe when I'm inside the walls
She acted like Bonnie (from Bonnie and Clyde) and we connect on a deep level when we're intimate
I cut my shorties on the side cause I decide that she all Mine's

I keep her in my eyes at all times

Not because I don't trust her I just, can't get enough of her
It's not that I don't trust her, I just can't resist being with her

The number of sexual partners doesn't matter after the first night
Right, so what the fuck is love at the first sight
So, what is love at first sight?
If you ask me, another stupid analogy
In my opinion, it's just another foolish comparison
Made to cover flaws in the female anatomy
Made to hide flaws in women's bodies
But I'm a keep gradually telling these bitches
But I will continue to slowly inform these women
Don't front, (don't front) don't front, (don't front)
Don't pretend or lie
Don't front, (don- don't front) don't front though
Don't pretend, don't act fake
I got some weed and some fronto
I have marijuana and cigar leaves
(Don't front)
Don't lie
And you know I always hunt hoes
And you know I always pursue women for sex
I tell 'em leave but don't walk through the front door
I tell them to leave, but not through the main entrance
Now don't front, (don't front) don't front, (don't front)
Now, don't pretend or lie
Check, (don- don- don't front)
Listen, don't pretend or lie
It's like a massacre when mass occur
It's chaotic and destructive when a large group of people gather
I got a massive urge but I had to learn
I have a strong desire, but I needed to gain knowledge
Heard you had it on lock so I pass the word
I heard you had control, so I spread the news
I stash the herb, sit back observe
I hide the marijuana, and watch from a distance
That she make me feel good is all I ask of her
All I want from her is to make me feel good
In the clouds who would've known, We would've crash and burn
We were experiencing euphoria, but we eventually had a falling out
I prayed long and hard, hoping things will last with her
I prayed fervently, hoping our relationship would endure
I ain't mad at her
I'm not angry at her
But I really wish that it ain't have to hurt
But I wish it didn't have to be painful
Let's be blunt we're best buds
Let's be honest, we're close friends
Both knew our role this is more than just a crush
We both understood our roles, this is more than just a infatuation
I used to pick her up longing for our lips to touch
I used to pick her up, eagerly wanting to kiss her
But now I rarely even see her
But now, I hardly see her
In everybody hood not even the law enforcement can keep up
She's with everyone, even the police can't keep track of her
She ain't want no one to know, so I kept it on the low
She didn't want anyone to find out, so I kept it a secret
Any time that we would kick it, I make sure I had some toe
Every time we would hang out, I made sure to have marijuana
I thought I knew her better than anyone would know
I believed I knew her better than anyone else
Bagged her at her friends, but home were I would take her
I met her through her friends, but I would bring her home
Didn't know that she was a ho, that only wanted my paper
I didn't know that she was promiscuous and only interested in my money
Whenever I was with her, my mind would just relax
Whenever I was with her, my mind would calm down
Could've been the hot topic cause I swore we were a match
We could've been the talk of the town because I believed we were compatible
And I admit it girl you fine as hell
And I admit, girl, you're extremely attractive
Don't know your perfume but you exert the finest smells
I don't know the name of your perfume, but you smell amazing
You tryna find her then follow her trail
If you're trying to find her, then follow her actions
She left a few old lovers inside of a jail
She left a few of her ex-lovers in jail
That's all a part of the tale
That's all part of the story
Hey yo don't tell me be patient with no doctor prescription
Hey, don't tell me to be patient without a doctor's prescription
Emotionless positions and provocative visions
Being distant emotionally and having sexual fantasies
Should've known you missed a note like the octave was switching
I should've known you missed a signal, like changing octaves in music
Remember hate the game but she's spotting some glitches
Remember she used to criticize the dating game, but now she sees its flaws
It's a simulation yeah, stimulation
It's a simulation, a form of stimulation
Take off your shirt, let me feel manipulative
Take off your shirt, let me manipulate you
My heart like the Himalayas but yeah I got a slay her
My heart is filled with emotions, but I have to seduce her
I'm crushing on you sweetheart but yeah I'm a player
I have strong feelings for you, but I also have a reputation for pursuing multiple partners
Sort of like Isaiah so baby let me coach you
Like the basketball player Isaiah Thomas, let me guide you
And I know I'm not the first jerk to approach you
And I know I'm not the first guy to approach you
So this ain't nothing new to you, nothing unusual
So this is nothing new or unexpected to you
Nothing you ain't used to so my nothing is useable
Nothing that you're not accustomed to, so my presence is acceptable
We all try when you go bye, we all high
We all make an effort to seem okay when you leave, we all feel a sense of euphoria
Truth is I'm never home and I'm cold if that's where the heart lies
The truth is I'm rarely at home and I feel disconnected if that's where love is
So label me as heartless, it's not that I don't care
So call me heartless, it's not that I don't care
I just learned to use my heart less, gain sanity and lost stress
I learned to be less emotional, gained sanity, and reduced stress
It put me in a state that just started taking a toll on me
It affected me and started to have negative consequences
Kept the secrets you told me, emotions I would hold beneath
I kept the secrets you confided in me, and hid my own emotions
Always kept the L so I know defeat
I always took the loss, so I understand defeat
Said everything will feel much better soon as you know I leave
She said everything will feel better once she knows I'm gone
Not sure if it's the meds that made you think I'm mediocre
I'm not sure if it's the medication that made you think I'm average
I was still body with a glove on, you know I'm a cold ma
I still excelled, even though I was wearing gloves, so you know I'm capable
I'm in animal pause, but you got an Ark
I'm in a state of freeze or hesitation, but you have a safe haven
When it flooded, used to always feel like Noah
When everything became chaotic, I used to feel like Noah
And I know I know her
And I know her
Had these kind of skills I had to show her
I had these skills that I had to demonstrate to her
So I told her I'm the nigga she see on the posters
So I told her I'm the guy she sees on the posters
Came back through and I put it in the holster
I came back and put my 'game' on hold
Just had to teach her one time
I just had to show her once
Put it down, don't really give a fuck though
Perform excellently, don't really care though
And tell your bitch don't front though
And tell your girl not to pretend or lie
Don't front
Don't pretend or lie
