Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Daytrip took it to 10 (hey)

Ayy, Panini, don't you be a meanie
Thought you wanted me to go up
Why you tryna keep me teeny? I
It's a dreamy, wished it on a genie
I got fans finally, ain't you wanting them to see me? I
I thought you want this for my life, for my life
Said you wanted to see me thrive, you lied

Just say to me, what you want from me
Just say to me, what you want from me

Ayy, Panini, don't you be a meanie
Thought you wanted me to go up
Why you tryna keep me teeny now?
Now they need me, number one on streaming
Oh yeah, you used to love me
So what happened, what's the meaning? I

I thought you want this for my life, for my life
Said you wanted to see me thrive, you lied

Now when it's all done, I get the upper hand
I need a big Benz, not another fan
But I still want you as a fan
I'ma need to sit down, don't mean to make demands
But I need you to

Say to me, what you want from me
Just say to me, what you want from me





Daytrip took it to 10 (hey)

Overall Meaning

Lil Nas X’s Panini is a song about the struggles he has faced after achieving fame following the release of his hit single “Old Town Road”. The song is named after the character from the animated television series “Chowder” and the lyrics serve as a message to those who used to support him but now actively try to hold him back. The opening line “Daytrip took it to 10” refers to Daytrip, the duo of producers who helped create the instrumental for Panini.


The song begins with Lil Nas X pleading with his former supporters to stop trying to hold him back and instead, embrace his success. He questions why they try to keep him “teeny” despite the fact that he’s finally amassed a fan base. He reflects upon the lies he was told about how much they wanted him to thrive before they turned their backs on him. The chorus is a repetition of the message that Lil Nas X wants to convey which is for his detractors to communicate honestly about what they want from him.


Lil Nas X talks about how his fame has now positioned him in the advantageous upper hand and how he now desires material possessions more than another fan. He states that while he needs his former supporters to continue admiring him, he also needs them to be honest with him about what they want. In conclusion, Panini revolves around Lil Nas X’s desire to change his lane after achieving celebrity status and his hopes that the people who claimed they wanted to see him rise will eventually come around to appreciate his growth.

[Intro: Nessly]
Daytrip took it to 10 (Hey)

[Chorus: Lil Nas X]
Oh, here we go, please let me know
Oh, 'fore you go, don't leave me in the cold

[Verse 1: Lil Nas X]
If I took you everywhere, then well, you wouldn't know how to walk
If I spoke on your behalf, then well, you wouldn't know how to talk
If I gave you everything and everything is what I bought
I can take it all back, I never cared 'bout what you thought
I didn't mean to make you mad, I don't like when you upset
I'ma call you later on, baby girl, don't you forget
I'ma take you from this party, we might go and have some sex
Or we do that later on, now we lit like cigarettes

[Pre-Chorus: Lil Nas X]
I thought you would stay with me
I'm yours and you're mine, I envy
So what I'm gon' do?
I don't have no clue, ain't no me without you

[Chorus: Lil Nas X]
Oh, here we go, please let me know
Oh, 'fore you go, don't leave me in the cold

[Refrain: Lil Nas X & Cardi B]
If I took you everywhere, then well, you wouldn't know how to walk
If I spoke on your behalf, then well, you wouldn't know how to talk
If I gave you everything and everything is what I bought
I can take it all back, I never cared 'bout what you thought (Cardi)

[Verse 2: Cardi B]
Look, gunshot, gunshot
Thought you heard about me, must not, must not
Last ni... did me dirty, dirty
Like a bathroom in a truck stop, truck stop
Now my heart, it feels like Brillo, I'm hard like armadillo
Can't be no ni... ex, I could only be his widow
That's a fact, dressed in black, my heart break, bones will crack
I be chilling, watching Oxygen, my favorite show is Snapped
Now you know how I get, every day, a foreign whip
Rather see you in a hearse than see you with some other bitch
Huh?

[Chorus: Lil Nas X]
Oh, here we go, please let me know
Oh, 'fore you go, don't leave me in the cold

[Refrain: Lil Nas X]
If I took you everywhere, then well, you wouldn't know how to walk
If I spoke on your behalf, then well, you wouldn't know how to talk
If I gave you everything and everything is what I bought
I can take it all back, I never cared 'bout what you thought

[Outro: Lil Nas X]
I thought you would stay with me
I'm yours and you're mine, I envy
So what I'm gon' do?
I don't have no clue, ain't no me without you

Ver1 :
Ngày hôm qua
Vẫn còn có nụ cười bên nhau và tiếng ca
Vẫn còn có tiếng gọi tương lai mong tiến xa
Vẫn còn từng hình ảnh cùng từng khoảnh khoắc cảm giác như luôn hoà nguyện mà
Nhưng sự lạnh lùng
Đang dần mang đi cái mà mình gọi là hạnh phúc
Mang đi cái không bao giờ đang yêu mà đánh mất
Anh đã cố đã cố đã cố đã cố đã cố nắm giữ nhưng tuyệt vọng đã đánh thức
Em nói yêu anh mà sao
Giao động ai khác là sao
Yêu là nói thật, lời nói dối , đâu cần nói, mà sao
Em thích người khác ah`
Cứ nói ra đi
Anh đâu phải đàn bà cứ nói anh chọn lối mà đi
Đúng không có tương lai
Em đúng mình khó tiếp tục thương ai
Khi đang yêu mà phải cắn chặt lời chia tay
Trên con đường dài
Chờ đợi là chướng ngại
Nếu thích em cứ quay lại

Hook:
Ngủ ngon nha em
Khi ngày mai thức giấc
Không còn ai làm phiền , chúc cho em luôn được hạnh phúc
Em hãy ngủ ngon nha em
Hãy nghe từng bài cũ
Để nó thay thế cho anh bằng từng lời ru em ngủ

Ver 2 :
Cứ việc ngủ đi em
Nhưng ngày mai thức giấc
Anh sẽ để em trong tim để nó không còn bị mất
Để nó như bộ phim cho mọi người xem hay nhất
Thà anh yêu em trong tim, còn hơn nhìn em đi mất
Nhiều khi yêu cái vô tri, còn vui hơn yêu người thật
Cứ để cho anh đi, vì em là người anh yêu nhất
Cứ để anh đau đi, thì sự buồn bã em sẽ mất
Khi anh đi, sự suy nghĩ, của em sẽ trở lại đời thật
Trước khi đi, điều anh rất, cần từ em là
Giữ lại chữ “Yêu“ những thứ khác không cần thêm và
Nước mất em, để người khác, khác vào tim mà
Nếu em buồn, vì người khác, thì em cứ biết là
Anh luôn đứng, trong gốc tối, luôn lắng nghe lời em nói
Luôn mang từng lời nói tới, để em cười mà thôi
Nói luôn từng lời nói dối, để em nhếc mép trên môi
Nhưng lặng trong đêm tối, đó là tình yêu đơn côi

Hook:
Ngủ ngon nha em
Khi ngày mai thức giấc
Không còn ai làm phiền , chúc cho em luôn được hạnh phúc
Em hãy ngủ ngon nha em
Hãy nghe từng bài cũ
Để nó thay thế cho anh bằng từng lời ru em ngủ

Ver 3
Em có biết , một điều là
Anh muốn được lắng nghe em nói một điều mà
Phút cuối cùng em vẫn cắn chặt không nói ra
Một câu mà ngày nào em cũng từng nói mà
Sao hôm nay, anh cảm thấy, hơi quá xa
Xin em đừng khóc
Để trái tim đó đi vào đúng nơi cần mọc
Để bờ vai ai là điểm tựa. Khi em cần khóc
Để sớm mai, hay tối nay, có một ai, cũng bên tây, gọi cho em nói
Em cứ mặc kệ Anh, ngày mai thức giấc
Không còn ai làm phiền, chúc cho em luôn được hạnh phúc
Tình yêu là sự chấp nhận
Đôi bên không oán hận
Điều anh hạnh phúc, là niềm vui em có người đón nhận
Thanh thãn đi em
Khi ngày mai không còn ai cản chân em
Khi ngày mai không còn ai làm phiền em
Khi ngày mai, không còn ai, làm em khóc, ở mỗi đêm
Không cón ai, thét bên tai, anh chờ em

Hook:
Ngủ ngon nha em
Khi ngày mai thức giấc
Không còn ai làm phiền , chúc cho em luôn được hạnh phúc
Em hãy ngủ ngon nha em
Hãy nghe từng bài cũ
Để nó thay thế cho anh bằng từng lời ru em ngủ

Daytrip took it to 10 (hey)

Oh here we go, please let me know
Off we go, don't leave me in the cold

If I took you everywhere, then well, you wouldn't know how to walk

So what I'm gon' do?
I don't have no clue, ain't no me without you

Oh here we go, please let me know

If I took you everywhere, then well, you wouldn't know how to walk

Look, gunshot, gunshot
Thought you heard about me, must not, must not
Last nigga did me dirty, dirty
Like a bathroom in a truck stop, truck stop
Now my heart, it feels like Brillo, I'm hard like armadillo
Can't be no nigga ex, I could only be his widow
That's a fact, dressed in black, my heart break, bones will crack

Now you know how I get, every day, a foreign whip

If I gave you everything and everything is what I bought
I can take it all back, I never cared 'bout what you thought

(I thought you would stay with me
I'm yours and you're mine, I envy
So what I'm gon' do?
I don't have no clue, ain't no me without you)
