Boys
K.Cee Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I was on the road trying to make it my home
You had a man but he wasn't no good to ya
I was with women I didn't know
Foot loose, fancy free
Pretty lady won't you dance with me
'Cause one look from your eyes
Before you came around
I couldn't figure out
Where I was going
I was wandering wandering wandering around
Before I found my way
I was running like a stray
And I was a lost boy
Just a lost boy
Before you came around
Sweet country baby you were singing at the airport
Raking in tips with the heel of your boot
I must have passed you by a hundred times before
Cupid saw it fit to let me dance with you
Foot loose, fancy free
Pretty lady won't you dance with me
'Cause one look from your eyes and
I knew that it was right this time
Before you came around
I couldn't figure out
Where I was going
I was wandering wandering wandering around
Before I found my way
I was running like a stray
And I was a lost boy
Just a lost boy
Before you came around
I was a lost boy
Just a lost boy
Before you came around
I couldn't figure out
Where I was going
I was wandering wandering wandering around
Before I found my way
I was running like a stray
And I was a lost boy
Just a lost boy
Before you came around
Before you came around
Before you came around
The song "Boys in 2-3" by K.Cee tells the story of a lost and aimless boy who finds his way after meeting a sweet, country girl who he falls in love with. The first verse describes the boy's past, where he was on the road trying to make a living while the girl, who ended up having a baby at a young age, was with a man who wasn't good to her. The second verse describes how the boy and girl finally meet, with Cupid bringing them together. The chorus emphasizes how the girl has changed the boy's life, transforming him from a lost boy into a man with a purpose who finally found his way through the love he has for her.
The phrase "Boys in 2-3" in the song's title refers to the area code for Warren, Arkansas, the hometown of K.Cee. The song has a country-tinged sound, which is reflected in the lyrics about the girl being a "sweet country baby" and singing at the airport while "raking in tips with the heel of her boot."

Basically, the song says:
What shall I render unto the Lord God Almighty;
Can I ever talk about all that the Lord has done in my life....
Join me in praising God.
The rest is all about of praising the Lord and worshipping Him by calling Him His wonderful names... Hallelujah!!!!!
Don't worry.... in Heaven, we shall understand ourselves. Make sure you are there. Come to Jesus today. Bless you🙏
