(Jmar, I miss you)
(Jesse)
I been tryna figure out our differences
I gave you my lust and my love but clearly you don't know what the difference is
And you put me through so much I been tryna find some witnesses
Want to put you away forever
Cause girl I was with you for worse or better
But your feelings they change like New England weather
Sunshine then snow,
It's only getting worse I know
Why your heart so cold
It's getting difficult for me to be around you
I was lost and then I found you
Now I'm too far gone, leave me alone,
I don't want to see your face anymore
I've been tryna find a way away from you
You got me lost girl and I don't know what to do
You got me guessing why you're always in a mood
And yeah I'll never understand it's understood
Why you got mood swings on mood swings on mood swings
Bout to go find me a new thing lil' new thing lil' new thing
Don't worry much about it
I'm in my own lane I got it
What I got I know you want it
Just as much as I wish what we had was more than a broken promise
And I told, all of these hoes it was they fault
I ain't heard I gave a fake heart
Now I know why they don't stay long
Cause I never had a love like us
(Like us)
Girl ain't nobody love like us
(Nah nah)
My love is forever baby,
But never when you break my trust
Cause she told me she would ride with me
And I thought she wouldn't lie to me
She was on this trip of life with me
She in love with getting high with me
We was blunted I could never realize she would lie to me
(Don't cry to me)
I knew,
From, the start
Mood swings, would play a part
I've been tryna find a way away from you
You got me lost girl and I don't know what to do
You got me guessing why you're always in a mood
And yeah I'll never understand it's understood
Why you got mood swings on mood swings on mood swings
Bout to go find me a new thing lil' new thing lil' new thing
Don't worry much about it
I'm in my own lane I got it




What I got I know you want it
Just as much as I wish what we had was more than a broken promise

Overall Meaning

The song "Swing" by L.Pro Beats is a modern take on the classic African American spiritual song "Swing Low, Sweet Chariot." The song, with its soulful and rhythmic beats, is an invitation to the chariot, a symbol of death, to come and take the singer home. The repetition of the phrase "Swing low sweet chariot, coming for to carry me home" resembles a chant and creates a sense of urgency, almost as if the singer is expecting the chariot to arrive at any moment.


The first verse of the song starts with the words "Swing low sweet chariot, coming for to carry me home," setting the mood for the rest of the song. The repetitive nature of the verse creates a sense of anticipation and excitement for the arrival of the chariot. The following verse, "Oh I looked over Jordan and what did I see," suggests that the singer is crossing over the Jordan River, which is often associated with death in biblical texts. The big band of angels flying high in the sky is a reference to the belief that angels will accompany the souls of the departed to the afterlife.


The chorus, "Swing low swing it cherry, ah baby come carry me home," is a modern take on the original lyrics. The phrase "swing it cherry" is likely a reference to a jazz term, "cherry," meaning something sweet or cool. This shows how the song has been reinterpreted and given a new meaning in a contemporary context.


Overall, "Swing" is a modern take on a timeless classic, representing the evolution and adaptation of African American spiritual music to contemporary sounds.

Ash Curtis

Hi is there a reason why your ride is on the end of your kit as I've not seen this before, its relatively unusual

Ash Curtis

@Mike Barnes Drums thanks so much mike and love your work my friend.

Philip Shaw

@Mike Barnes Drums Thanks. I was wondering the same thing. I was looking at some older I noticed it was the same on your acoustic kit too. Makes sense to replicate what the students will have to work with.

Mike Barnes Drums

Hi Ash, thanks for watching. Three answers: 1) I quite like that set-up 2) It allows for the visual of what I’m playing to be more clear to the viewer when on the ride 3) The local exam centre where a lot of my students go for their assessment has this set-up, so tend to replicate this for lessons. Cheers!
