Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Celebrating life
I know the limit is the sky
And ah know that I ain't living twice
That's why ah living for tonight
On cloud nine
That's why ah living for tonight
Live it all could end tonight
On cloud nine
That' why ah living for tonight
On cloud nine
And you might see me stumbling
But once my heart still pumping
Ah must wine up on something (must wine up on something)
And this vibes eh have no ceiling
Is exactly how ah feeling
And I doh care who watching
Cause ah done high already
Feel I could fly already
Hand up in the sky already
Ah ready ah ready
Oh lawd ah high
Celebrating life and when ah wake up in the morning
Don't tell me bout last night
And if you take a picture
Doh tag me on no site
Ah cah predict the future so I taking this full flight
That's why ah living for tonight
On cloud nine
That's why ah living for tonight
On cloud nine
Live it all could end tonight
On cloud nine
That's why ah living for tonight
On cloud nine
And every single season
This is the perfect reason
Ah living so ah fetin
And is soca what ah bleeding
Inside my veins it streaming
So you cyah see me stopping
Cause ah done high already
Feel ah could fly already
Hand up in the sky already
Ah ready ah ready
Oh lawd ah high
Celebrating life and when ah wake up in the morning

The lyrics of Lyrikal's "Cloud 9" exude a carefree spirit that celebrates life and living in the moment. The 'Cloud 9' in the song's title seems to refer to a state of mind that is high on life, rather than a literal place in the sky. The song starts with the artist proclaiming his happiness, and celebrating life to the fullest. The lyrics emphasize the transient nature of life and the importance of living in the moment rather than worrying about the future. The repetition of the phrase 'living for tonight, on cloud nine' underscores the song's central message of embracing the present, enjoying oneself, and leaving the worries behind.
The chorus of the song talks about not caring about what others think and being unafraid to celebrate life. The song's upbeat tempo and catchy beats make it a crowd favorite in fetes and parties. The lyrics point out that no one can predict the future, so it's imperative to seize the moment and take that proverbial 'full flight.' The song's verses explicitly mention dancing, drinking, and enjoying the carnival scene. Although the song is rooted in Soca music, its universal message and the celebratory tone make it accessible to listeners worldwide.

I'm hispanic but I have grown to love SOCA over the years and prefer to hear this over Latin Music anytime. There is something about SOCA music, you feel alive. It's like an energy that goes threw your body and you connect with the rhythm and everything and everyone else around you.
