Jordan Rakei Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I believe in trust
I believe in us
I believe in my tradition
I believe there's love
I believe in us
I'm aware of yesterday
It's the sound you make
'Cause I know there's history
Let it seep through all of this misery
So sing with me this lullaby
You can't say we don't try
So sing with me this lullaby
You can't say we don't try
I believe in something special
I believe in trust
I believe in us
I believe in my tradition
I believe there's love
I believe in us
I'm aware there's no tomorrow
I'm aware of yesterday
It's the sound you make
'Cause I know there's history
Let it seep through all of this misery
So sing with me this lullaby
You can't say we don't try
So sing with me this lullaby
You can't say we don't try
So sing with me this lullaby
You can't say we don't try
So sing with me this lullaby
You can't say we don't try
The lyrics to Jordan Rakei's song "Mantra" convey a message of belief, trust, and love. The repetition of "I believe in something special, I believe in trust, I believe in us" emphasizes a strong conviction in a higher power, a shared bond, and the importance of trust in relationships. Rakei expresses his belief in his own tradition, suggesting a connection to his heritage and the values it holds, particularly the presence of love. Additionally, the lyrics imply an awareness of the fleeting nature of time, with lines like "I'm aware there's no tomorrow, I'm aware of yesterday." This awareness serves as a reminder to live in the present moment and appreciate the sound of existence itself.
