Signs
Koshi Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
That's what I say when I'm havin' bad days
Got a new phrase on the tat of my name
Seventeen stuck with me ain't about age
Everything sucks when your world's in pain
But we don't make cents so how we gon' change
Guess these days money Isn't everything, aye
But if I get more of it I won't complain
Nowadays they want some more of me
I don't got nothin' to say
Heart on the floor again
Everybody want affection but It's too much money to make
(I need a bank!)
I been recording and singing these choruses
Hope I can rid everyone from they pain (Pain)
Yeah, I'ma take it away, (Whoa)
Been hard for me to find the truth
Can't cross that line without me fallin' through
Couldn't believe you'd opened doors that you just walked into
Can't stand to think about or even look at you
Claimin' I'm back, back, back
But been in my head at night
Lien you care about that but I haven't felt alright
Look it I'm thrash-thrash-thrashed
Can you take me home tonight?
Give me some time I'm trapped
Somethin' to free my mind
You outta line, tryna put you outta mind
Ain't my fault we intertwined
That's just a sign, I, Get too attached
Thought you'd always have my back
It takes love and it takes honesty, the latter is what you lack
Checks on my mind no grocery store just check it and give me my bag, (My bag)
Flex on all y'all still playing catch-up y'all never gon' get what I have, (Get what I have)
Take a Lyft to the bank and I tip a Ben Frank to the driver 'cause it make you mad, (Aha)
Try to leave me broke, now my pockets on full, while you hate my money gon' add
Got hate in your heart that's sad, got me in my bag like Glad
Got my brothers on the track goin' back-to-back
Fast-forward 'bout a year we'll be thumbin' through a stack of racks
That's fat, you lacking, came to make a racket
Verses I'm attackin', bars are what I'm packin'
Money in the mattress, eat a beat I'm snackin', (Wait)
And I'm still untouched like a homework packet, lil' bitch
The lyrics to Koshi's song "Signs" reflect the artist's struggles and emotions in a raw and introspective manner. The opening lines, "If you look back you'll be goin' that way, That's what I say when I'm havin' bad days," suggest a sense of determination and resilience in the face of adversity. Koshi acknowledges the challenges and pain in life but emphasizes the importance of moving forward.
The lyrics also touch upon the theme of societal expectations and the pressure to conform. Koshi expresses frustration with the shallow pursuit of money and material wealth, stating, "Everything sucks when your world's in pain, But we don't make cents so how we gon' change, Guess these days money Isn't everything." This highlights a desire for a deeper connection and purpose beyond mere financial success.
Koshi conveys a sense of personal growth and self-discovery throughout the song. The lines, "Been hard for me to find the truth, Can't cross that line without me fallin' through," suggest a struggle to understand oneself and navigate relationships. The artist grapples with feelings of hurt and betrayal but ultimately seeks to find solace and freedom from negative thoughts and emotions.

If you look back you'll be goin' that way
If you dwell on the past, you'll be stuck in it
That's what I say when I'm havin' bad days
I remind myself to keep moving forward when things are tough
Got a new phrase on the tat of my name
I have a permanent reminder of my personal motto
Seventeen stuck with me ain't about age
Being young doesn't define who I am, it's about staying true to myself
Everything sucks when your world's in pain
When you're hurting inside, everything feels terrible
But we don't make cents so how we gon' change
We don't have much influence, so it's hard for us to make a difference
Guess these days money Isn't everything, aye
Money may not be the most important thing nowadays, surprisingly
But if I get more of it I won't complain
However, I wouldn't mind having more of it for myself
They was ignorin' me
People used to overlook me
Nowadays they want some more of me
Nowadays, people are interested in me and what I have to offer
I don't got nothin' to say
I have nothing to say or explain
Heart on the floor again
My emotions are in a vulnerable state once again
Everybody want affection but It's too much money to make
Everyone desires love and care, but it's difficult to prioritize when there's money to be made

I need a significant amount of money!

Been hard for me to find the truth
It has been challenging for me to discover what is true
Can't cross that line without me fallin' through
If I try to cross that boundary, I will inevitably fail
Couldn't believe you'd opened doors that you just walked into
I couldn't believe that you were given opportunities that you didn't deserve
Can't stand to think about or even look at you
I can't bear the thought of you or even see you
Claimin' I'm back, back, back
Saying that I've returned, repeatedly
But been in my head at night
But I've been overwhelmed with thoughts at night
Lien you care about that but I haven't felt alright
Maybe you claim to care, but I haven't been okay
Look it I'm thrash-thrash-thrashed
Look, I'm completely worn out
Can you take me home tonight?
Can you help me find comfort tonight?
Give me some time I'm trapped
I need time to escape my current situation
Somethin' to free my mind
Something that can liberate my mind
You outta line, tryna put you outta mind
You're crossing the line, and I'm trying to forget about you
Ain't my fault we intertwined
It's not my fault that we became entangled with each other
That's just a sign, I, Get too attached
It's a clear indication that I get overly attached
Thought you'd always have my back
I thought you would always support me
It takes love and it takes honesty, the latter is what you lack
It requires both love and honesty, but you lack the latter
Checks on my mind no grocery store just check it and give me my bag, (My bag)
I'm focused on making money, not on buying groceries, so give me my earnings
Flex on all y'all still playing catch-up y'all never gon' get what I have, (Get what I have)
I'm showing off my success to all of you who are still trying to catch up, knowing you'll never achieve what I have
Take a Lyft to the bank and I tip a Ben Frank to the driver 'cause it make you mad, (Aha)
I take a ride-sharing service to the bank and tip the driver generously, just to annoy you
Try to leave me broke, now my pockets on full, while you hate my money gon' add
You tried to leave me without any money, but now my pockets are full, and your hatred only adds to my success
Got hate in your heart that's sad, got me in my bag like Glad
It's unfortunate that you have hate in your heart, but it motivates me to be successful
Got my brothers on the track goin' back-to-back
I have my friends supporting me as we collaborate on this track
Fast-forward 'bout a year we'll be thumbin' through a stack of racks
If we fast-forward a year from now, we'll be counting a significant amount of money
That's fat, you lacking, came to make a racket
That's impressive, you're lacking compared to us, and we're here to make a great impact
Verses I'm attackin', bars are what I'm packin'
I'm aggressively delivering my verses, my rap lines are powerful
Money in the mattress, eat a beat I'm snackin', (Wait)
I stash money in my mattress, and I effortlessly dominate any beat I rap over
And I'm still untouched like a homework packet, lil' bitch
I remain unaffected, just like an untouched homework assignment, you insignificant person
