100
M.K.G. MacKenzie Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Holds more rank than a love letter from any super star
Or if I ran across how I think
I think I might get down on my right knee for ya
In this park with this shiny wedding ring for ya
Yeah, feelings that I had for you are too real for me to explain
You be finishing my sentences like you lodged up in my brain
I cried, I sweated for ya, and I bleed for ya
Hey
Half of me is all of you, half of you is all of me
Half of me is all of you, half of you is all of me
Half of me is all of you, half of you is all of me
When we get together girl, that is when we most complete
100%, na-na, deep down could you keep it 100?
100%, that's because you give me your love, your loving
100, 100, 100
And I can recall every single mistake
Like whenever I make haste to entertain hoes in my face
But baby let me put your worried mind at ease for ya
You got way more to provide for me than these whores
I ain't had nothing but a dollar and a dream and you
So many things, got in the way when all my dreams came true
So many times I used to want to let you dream for me
But instead I'd rather crown you as a queen for me
Half of me is all of you, half of you is all of me
Half of me is all of you, half of you is all of me
Half of me is all of you, half of you is all of me
When we get together girl, that is when we most complete
100%, na-na, deep down could you keep it 100?
100%, that's because you give me your love, your loving
100, 100, 100
And I said ohhhh I wanna be your man
And I said ohhhh I wanna be your man
Ohhhh, I wanna be your man
I said, ohhhh hey-hey
Na-na, deep down could you keep it 100?
That's because you give me your love, your loving
Half of me is all of you, half of you is all of me
Half of me is all of you, half of you is all of me
Half of me is all of you, half of you is all of me
When we get together girl, that is when we most complete
100%, na-na, deep down could you keep it 100?
100%, that's because you give me your love, your loving
100, 100, 100
In "100" by M.K.G. MacKenzie, the singer emphasizes that a simple greeting from the person he loves is more meaningful than any love letter from a celebrity. He even suggests that he would propose with a shiny wedding ring in the park if given the chance. The feelings that he has for this person are too intense to articulate properly, and he explains that she seems to finish his thoughts instinctively. Despite admitting to past mistakes and distractions, he wants to make it clear that his love for her is real and deep. The chorus repeats the idea that each person is incomplete without the other and that their love is worth striving for and keeping genuine no matter what.
The song's message is one of true love, loyalty, and devotion. The singer emphasizes that they would never trade the love of the person they choose for something shallow, like fame or money. Instead, they are willing to work hard to make each other happy and feel complete. The song's theme is relatable to anyone who has experienced true love and knows the depth of emotion that it brings.
