Carrying the banner for both the north and the south sides due to his upbringing, Lungz represents a new vangaurd of young, capable Chicago lyricists who not only deliver intricate rhymes but infuse them with the street ambience and real life authenticity to create an audience packed with both backpackers and thugs. Lungz speaks intensely regarding what he has created; “This is powerful, emotional music for all occasions. I want you to be able to put this on when you are driving down lakeshore drive in the summer with the top down and a cup of something”.
Immersing himself in such legendary musical influences as Mobb Deep, Busta Rhymes, Jay-Z, Pharcyde, ATCQ, Al Green, and Curtis Mayfield; Lungz has been able to successfully transition from being just a respected battle/freestyle rapper to an artist capable of crafting songs utilizing a wide range of cadences and rhyme structures.
Lungz acknowledges his now infamous “My Town” which created a fervor after Chicago Rocks 2007 as being not a defining apex; but only one of many more anthems to come. He refuses to allow himself to be characterized by only one song, when there are others that he feels challenged him more to create such as “Powerful Music” and “Incredible”, and therefore have more significance to him as a demonstration of what to expect in the future.
Recognizing and embracing his growth from a youth to a young man, Lungz is giving his breakout album the appropriately title “Transition”, which represents him leaving “all the dumb shit” behind and evolving into a complete artist. Lungz wants you to experience his life through his lyrics, and not the fantasy world so often portrayed in rap.
With The Flight School mixtape already available, Lungz is poised to release his first full-length album “Transition” in 2008, as well as "A Breathe Of Fresh Air" as a supplementary mixtape. “Transition” will feature mic comrades Swift, Soze, IMAM T.H.U.G., and YG with Panik (Molemen), Swift, and Q-Hefna handling production.
Bad Intentions
Lungz Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Thinking who I should call, drunk in my hotel room
Messages get sent out, a few bitches they text back
Like where the fuck you been at, and we don’t even speak much
Only when I’m in town busy but I’m back now
We texting like we best friends, messages get misspelled
She tells me that she’s drunk too, I tell her that I miss her
And all this shit I’m going through, you might as well just come through
Whatcha wanna do? It’s been too long I can’t wait
That’s when I notice I heard a knock on my door
She walk in looking bad as fuck with that dress on
Good intentions, bad decisions
I’m selling dreams to all these women
In the morning I don’t all regret it
She ready ,she let me ,don’t let me
But she said she bout it
Always found myself with shit cant find my way about it
Time and time again I tell myself "I wont" I doubt it
I think I got a problem I’m about to call the doc
Gorgeous face with that skin tone Her body crazy she got it
I think I got a problem
I know I got a problem
And I don’t wanna solve it
What I tell this girl?
She’s standing in my room like
I promised her the world, when it come to girls I
Done broke a couple hearts and this is how it starts
But fuck it though I’m drunk, damn I love your body
Every thing about it, that shit there retarded
We start to get it in, I pull in on her hair
I’m throwing up the leg she tell me ooh right there
I notice when we finished she started acting different
And I don’t understand she like this how you treat your girl?
I'm like bitch I’m not yo man and that’s not what you said
I go and pick my phone up that's sitting on the bed
Like here it go again, I done did this shit again
Apparently I said she the one I wanna be with
No more games I’m a changed man I wanna move here
She started crying like damn I don’t believe this
Too much to drink add another one to my list
Good intentions, bad decisions
I’m selling dreams to all these women
In the morning I don’t all regret it
She ready ,she let me ,don’t let me
But she said she bout it
Always found myself with shit cant find my way about it
Time and time again I tell myself "I wont" I doubt it
I think I got a problem I’m about to call the doc
Gorgeous face with that skin tone Her body crazy she got it
I think I got a problem
I know I got a problem
And I don’t wanna solve it
The song "Bad Intentions" by Lungz tells the story of a man who is in LA, alone in his hotel room, scrolling through his phone and trying to decide whom to call. He ends up texting a few girls, and one of them responds. They start texting back and forth and decide to meet up. The woman comes over, and they start hooking up. They finish, and the woman starts acting like they are in a serious relationship, but the man doesn't feel the same way. He is confused about his feelings and realizes that he has a problem with commitment.
The chorus of the song, "Good intentions, bad decisions, I'm selling dreams to all these women," emphasizes the man's conflict between his good intentions and his inability to make good decisions. He wants to have a good relationship, but he continues to mess things up because of his inability to commit. The line, "She ready, she let me, don't let me," highlights how the woman is willing to give in to his advances, but he can't control himself. The song is a cautionary tale about the danger of confusing physical attraction with emotional connection and commitment.
