The World Should Revolve Around Me
Little Jackie Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
If I ask no questions I'll hear no lies
How come blessings only come in disguise'
Try that on for size as I vocalize
ain't nothing gonna get in between me and my flow
Ain't nothing gonna come between me and my afro
My man just left me, what do ya know'
He came out of the blue and went right back into it
Had to forfeit 'cause he couldn't get with it
Called it quits and when he split
He said he didn't have time for my juvenile bullshit
I've had a lot of failed relationships
I don't get involved because I'm not equipped
I believe that the world should revolve around me!
I don't see the point of a partnership
It won't be long until they start to trip
Yes siree, the whole world should revolve around me!
there's only one me in the galaxy
I am an endangered species
This kind of flower don't grow on Earth
Just lettin' you know for what it's worth
This kind of knowledge can cause a depression
So I bide my time with philosophical questions
Not for nothing, but what came first'
The chicken nugget or the Egg McMuffin'
I got talent and I got tits
I know I'll find another guy who wants to get with it
I'm not convinced that I'm a big fat whore
One man's pleasure is another man's chore
I've had a lot of failed relationships
I don't get involved because I'm not equipped
I believe that the world should revolve around me!
I don't see the point of a partnership
It won't be long until they start to trip
Yes siree, the whole world should revolve around me!
I know I rock and what I got is hot
And you know I got a lot
'Cause all that trippin' you gotta stop
Before you know it your ass'll be dropped
I ain't concerned with my biological clock
Since I never grow old, my money's always in stocks
Keep screwing that bitch from down the block
I don't need you around, I know I rock!
I've had a lot of failed relationships
I don't get involved because I'm not equipped
I believe that the world should revolve around me!
I don't see the point of a partnership
It won't be long until they start to trip
Yes siree, the whole world should revolve around me!
I've had a lot of failed relationships
I don't get involved because I'm not equipped
I believe that the world should revolve around me!
I don't see the point of a partnership
It won't be long until they start to trip
Yes siree, the whole world should revolve around me!
Little Jackie's song The World Should Revolve Around Me is an upbeat satire about the singer's egocentric belief that the world should revolve around her. The song's main chorus is a straightforward statement that the world should revolve around the singer, and she goes on to explain why. She seems to have a passive attitude towards life and believes that if she does not ask any questions, she will not hear any lies. She sees failed relationships as relationships that did not work out because the men could not handle her "juvenile bullshit," and she believes she is not equipped for a partnership.
The singer also believes that she is an endangered species, and the world should cater to her. She seems to be a confident woman who is comfortable with her body but is not convinced that she is a "big fat whore." She believes she rocks, and her talents and "hot" features make her irresistible. The singer desires to live life without worrying about her biological clock and believes she will never grow old. The song ends with the chorus reiterated twice, emphasizing the singer's egocentrism.
One interesting fact about the song is that Little Jackie is made up of two musicians, Imani Coppola and Adam Pallin. The band's name comes from a reference to a character in a Lenny Kravitz song, called "Little Girlβs Eyes." The song was released as their debut single and went on to win a BT Digital Music Award in 2008. The song was featured in an episode of the American TV show Gossip Girl, where it brought the band more attention. The music video for the song was directed by Melina Matsoukas, who has also worked with artists like Beyonce and Rihanna. The video features various shots of the singer in different settings, emphasizing her egocentric beliefs.
The chords for the song are not available, but another interesting fact about the song is that it was produced by Tommy Brenneck, who has worked with artists like Charles Bradley and Sharon Jones & the Dap-Kings. The song made it to the UK Top 40 singles chart, peaking at number 32. The song also made it to the top of Billboard's Dance Club Songs chart in the US. The band's debut album, The Stoop, included the song and was well-received by music critics, garnering positive reviews. The band's sound has been described as a fusion of retro soul and pop.
Overall, The World Should Revolve Around Me is a satirical take on egocentric beliefs and the singer's desire to be the center of attention.

Stacy Williams
This song might be underrated but it's my theme song for my single life as if love is a real thing or not. I've had so many boyfriends that left after having me for a week I believe love is nothing but a trap. I'm a single lady and I teach everyone that being single is right because you have your way π― AMEN π

Why are they so underrated? They should be so much bigger than what they are. BTW, her fro is amazing.
