Amazing
Loretta Mars Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I just feel amazing
Years of being jaded
Pour me up a shot
I’ll shake what momma gave me
Love the ones who love me
Love the ones who hate it
He wanna get between
He can’t help me with my dreams
Boy you know this ain’t no drive thru
Fuck around and leave your ass on that cotton blue/blew
Been exalted so you know I had to speak the truth
911 my city
Bet they mobbin’ and they comin’ through
Listen to the money talk
Turn around baby and watch that money walk
I just planned on it
Now they throw demand on it
Grind smarter, I ain’t never worried
You can’t count it how you want to
Bitch I’m in a hurry
Hook
Going back and back again
I don’t follow trends, I just tell it like it is
Alright
I’m just patching up my ends
What I got coming ain’t no way that they can see it
Alright
And It done changed me
Rearranged me
I just feel amazing (x2)
Verse 2
Growing like a plant
I got that green thumb
You probably don’t know what I meant
It ain’t for you to understand
I am not the one who plays pretend
Took ya girl some time to get comfy in her skin
Hot damn
Aye, don’t play with me
I could never let the shade hit me
Take me back to Rockwell selling lemonade
Turn it to a house party after adding up the change
What you know about it?
It’s a blessing
Told too much about my past to people who ain’t present
Knowing it was crucial understanding my adolescence
I’m coming with something fresh
I welcome you to my new segment
Bred by the crumbs
I’m just thankful for my bother Quan
Ain’t no source of payment for the shit that he has done
Sick of being strong so it’s best that I become it
When you fuck with MARS then you know you got you one
Hook
Going back and back again
I don’t follow trends, I just tell it like it is
Alright
I’m just patching up my ends
What I got coming ain’t no way that they can see it
Alright
And It done changed me
Rearranged me
I just feel amazing (x2)
In "Amazing" by Loretta Mars, the artist expresses feelings of empowerment and confidence after overcoming a period of feeling jaded. The lyrics in verse 1 convey a sense of renewal and liberation, as she declares that she feels amazing and ready to break free from negativity. Pouring herself a shot and embracing her own individuality, she celebrates both the love and hate she receives from others. She acknowledges that she usually doesn't conform to societal norms, but tonight she's ready to play by her own rules. The line "He wanna get between, He can't help me with my dreams" suggests that she is focused on her own aspirations and not interested in being distracted by romantic advances. The mention of "cotton blue/blew" is a clever play on words, referencing both the color blue and the phrase "blew you away" as a reminder that she is capable of leaving people behind who do not support her dreams. She also mentions her city, implying that she is representing and standing strong alongside her community.
The hook of the song emphasizes her refusal to conform to trends and her commitment to being authentic. She asserts that she tells it like it is and is focused on "patching up her ends," meaning she is working on closing any gaps or unfinished business in her life. She knows that what she has coming is something others may not be able to foresee or comprehend, and this fills her with a sense of excitement and purpose. The changes she has experienced have transformed her and she feels amazing as a result.
In verse 2, Loretta reflects on personal growth and maturation. She compares herself to a plant with a "green thumb," symbolizing her ability to nurture and cultivate her own success. She acknowledges that not everyone will understand her journey, but she remains unapologetically true to herself and refuses to play pretend. The mention of Rockwell—a reference to a simpler time selling lemonade—evokes nostalgia and represents her humble beginnings. She goes on to mention a transformation from a lemonade stand to a house party, indicating that she has turned small beginnings into something more substantial. Loretta also hints that she has experienced hardships in her past, revealing that she has shared those experiences with people who are no longer in her life. This suggests that she values authenticity and only wants people who are present and supportive of her growth by her side. She highlights her gratitude for her brother, Quan, who has supported her without expecting anything in return. Overall, Loretta Mars conveys a message of strength, resilience, and self-assurance through her lyrics. She refuses to be weighed down by negativity and embraces her own unique path, inviting others to join her as she rises.
