Take Me With You
L-Fresh the Lion Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm going to tell you twice
Listen up baby now and take my advice
Don't run around wasting your time saving up all your dough
You may as well spend all that money because you
Can't Take It With You When You Go
You better start saving for a rainy day
Just put a little money aside because you reap what you sow
Man I'm going to spend all my money because you
Can't Take It With You When You Go
Now let me tell you this and hear what I say
Stop putting all your cash in a 401k
Just go out and have a good time and let that cash flow
You better spend all that money because you
Can't Take It With You When You Go
In L-Fresh the Lion's song "Take Me With You," the lyrics convey a message about the fleeting nature of material possessions and the importance of living in the present moment. The repetition of the lines "I'm going to tell you once, I'm going to tell you twice, listen up baby now and take my advice" emphasizes the urgency and emphasis on the message being delivered. The song cautions against wasting time and saving money excessively, suggesting that it is better to enjoy life and spend money while you can because ultimately, you cannot take your wealth with you when you pass away.
The lyrics also address societal expectations and pressures to save for the future, warning against solely focusing on financial security and sacrificing the present for an uncertain future. By saying "people always talking, I hear what they say, you better start saving for a rainy day," L-Fresh the Lion acknowledges the common advice of saving money for unforeseen circumstances. However, he counters this by advocating for living in the moment and embracing the idea of letting money flow freely to create joyful experiences.
Overall, "Take Me With You" encourages listeners to prioritize experiences and happiness over accumulating wealth, reminding us that our earthly possessions do not define us and cannot be taken with us once we're gone.
