Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Especially our guests uh, Elzhi of Slum Village
Don't be afraid, you can clap
Uh, Mr. James Poyser, was here as well
Uh I'd like to thank DJ Jazzy Jeff for popping by
I'd like to thank you at home of course
And I'd like to give a special shoutout to my baby momma Tameka
And our twin daughters, Faith and Abstinence
Man hahaha, I'm not gonna cry, I'm not gonna cry
Goodnight everybody, goodnight!
It's time to say goodbye to all of our friends
Our time is up and now the good times must end
We hope we made you laugh and chuckle or grin
And hopefully, one day soon, we can do it again
We'd like to welcome you to everything there is to know
This is our life, this is our music, it's our minstrel show
We'd like to welcome you to everything there is to know
This is our life, this is our music, it's our minstrel showwwww
Ay y'all
Y'all y'all ready for the party to be over? (Noooo)
Y'all ready to go home? (Noooo)
The Minstrel Show Closing Theme by Little Brother feat. Yahzarah serves as a farewell to their fans and a declaration of their artistic identity. The song starts with Phonte, one half of the rap duo Little Brother, thanking their guests for the night, including Elzhi of Slum Village, James Poyser, and DJ Jazzy Jeff, and giving a special shoutout to his family, Tameka, Faith, and Abstinence. Phonte's emotional state is palpable when he says, "Daddy's coming home babies, your daddy's coming home," signaling a warm and intimate goodbye.
Then, the chorus comes in, sung by Yahzarah, which bids farewell to their audience and invites them to join in again in the future. The lyrics are poignant and hopeful, hoping to bring joy and laughter to the listeners. The song wraps up with a playful banter between the rappers and the audience about being ready to go home, inviting them to stay longer and enjoy the party a little bit more.
