Man piaba
K2R Riddim Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Certain questions occurred to me,
So I asked me father quite seriously
To tell me the story 'bout the bird and bee.
He stammered and he stuttered pathetically
And this is what he said to me.
He said, "The woman piaba and the man piaba
The lily root, gully root, belly root uhmm,
And the famous grandy scratch scratch.
It was clear as mud but it covered the ground
And the confusion made the brain go 'round.
I went and ask a good friend of mine,
Known to the world as Albert Einstein.
He said "Son, from the beginning of time and creativity
There existed the force of relativity
Pi r square and a minus ten means a routine only when
The solar system in one light year
Make the Hayden planetarium disappear
So if Mt Everest doesn't move
I am positive that it will prove
That the woman piaba and the man piaba
And the Ton Ton call baka lemon grass,
The lily root, gully root, belly root uhmm,
And the famous grandy scratch scratch.
It was clear as mud but it covered the ground
And the confusion made the brain go 'round.
I grabbed a boat and went abroad
In Baden Baden asked Sigmund Freud
He said "Son, from your sad face remove the grouch
Put the body down up on the couch
I can see from your frustration a neurotic sublimation
Hey love and hate is psychosomatic
Your Rorsach shows that you're a peri pathetic
It all started with a broken sibling
In the words of the famous Rudyard Kipling
That the woman piaba and the man piaba
And the Ton Ton call baka lemon grass,
The lily root, gully root, belly root uhmm,
And the famous grandy scratch scratch.
Well I traveled far and I traveled wide
And I don't even have me self a bride
All the great men upon this earth
Have confused me since my birth
I've been over land and been over sea
Trying to find answer 'bout the bird and bee
But now that I am ninety three
I don't give a darn you see
If the woman piaba and the man piaba
And the Ton Ton call baka lemon grass,
The lily root, gully root, belly root uhmm,
And the famous grandy scratch scratch.
The song "Man Piaba" by K2R Riddim tells the story of a young boy who is curious about the story of the "bird and bee," a euphemism for sex education. He first asks his father to explain, but his father fails to give a clear answer, resorting to naming various plants and roots in confusion. The child then seeks out various experts to get to the bottom of it, including Albert Einstein and Sigmund Freud. However, their answers are also unclear and only add to the confusion. The song concludes with the now elderly protagonist stating that he no longer cares about the answer.
Through its humorous and lighthearted approach, the song explores the complexity and confusion surrounding sex education and the difficulty in finding clear answers to such questions. It highlights the fact that even experts in their fields may not always have a definitive answer.
Line by Line Meaning
When I was a lad of three-foot-three
At the age of three, as a young child
Certain questions occurred to me,
I had some inquiries that came to mind
So I asked me father quite seriously
I asked my dad with great importance
To tell me the story 'bout the bird and bee.
To explain the classic tale of how babies are born
He stammered and he stuttered pathetically
He stumbled and had trouble speaking
And this is what he said to me.
This was his response to my question
It was clear as mud but it covered the ground
His explanation was confusing and unclear
And the confusion made the brain go 'round.
This confusion made my mind spin
I went and ask a good friend of mine,
I asked a close confidant for their opinion
Known to the world as Albert Einstein.
This friend was none other than the famous physicist
He said "Son, from the beginning of time and creativity
Einstein offered a philosophical interpretation
There existed the force of relativity
This universal force has always been around
Pi r square and a minus ten means a routine only when
A mathematical formula has a consistent result
The solar system in one light year
Traveling the distance of one year's worth of light
Make the Hayden planetarium disappear
The planetarium would no longer exist due to the vastness of space
So if Mt Everest doesn't move
Assuming the mountain doesn't change location
I am positive that it will prove
This proves, without a doubt, that
That the woman piaba and the man piaba
The explanation of the bird and bee metaphor
And the Ton Ton call baka lemon grass,
Along with other confusing phrases
The lily root, gully root, belly root uhmm,
More unintelligible language
And the famous grandy scratch scratch.
An additional phrase that adds to the confusion
I grabbed a boat and went abroad
I traveled overseas by boat
In Baden Baden asked Sigmund Freud
I consulted with the famous psychoanalyst
He said "Son, from your sad face remove the grouch
Freud offered advice based on my demeanor
Put the body down up on the couch
He suggested I lay down on the examining couch
I can see from your frustration a neurotic sublimation
He identified a psychological problem based on my behavior
Hey love and hate is psychosomatic
He suggested emotions can have physical effects on the body
Your Rorsach shows that you're a peri pathetic
He interpreted a psychological test as indicating a pitiful state
It all started with a broken sibling
The root of the issue began with a family trauma
In the words of the famous Rudyard Kipling
Referencing the author and poet's writing
Well I traveled far and I traveled wide
I went on a long journey and saw many different places
And I don't even have me self a bride
Despite my travels, I never found a spouse
All the great men upon this earth
Famous figures throughout history
Have confused me since my birth
I have been perplexed by their ideas and words my whole life
I've been over land and been over sea
I've traversed the earth by both land and water
Trying to find answer 'bout the bird and bee
Searching for a clear explanation of human reproduction
But now that I am ninety three
Years later, in old age
I don't give a darn you see
I no longer care about understanding the topic
If the woman piaba and the man piaba
No matter the explanation given
And the Ton Ton call baka lemon grass,
No matter the confusing phrases used
The lily root, gully root, belly root uhmm,
No matter how nonsensical it may seem
And the famous grandy scratch scratch.
This topic is no longer important to me
