Daisies
M.R.F. Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm feelin' luke warm like the water in my tub
Started out and we was hot, looked up and now we're not
We had that fire like we was boilin' in a pot
Whoopsi-daisy, whoopsi-daisy, whoopsi-daisy
Come, we gonna catch that
Then we'll fan the flame up into something bigger
Started out and we was hot, looked up and now we're not
We gonna catch a fire, catch a fire for God
Whoopsi-daisy, whoopsi-daisy, whoopsi-daisy
Come, we gonna catch that
Whoopsi-daisy, call me crazy, whoopsi-daisy
Come, we gonna catch that
Fire, takin' it from warm to hot
Fire, gotta give it all we got
Fire, whoopsi-daisy, call me crazy, whoopsi-daisy
Come, we gonna catch that
Spark to a flame, I'm flippin' up my game
I caught the fire and I'll never be the same
So unexplainable I can't contain it, son
And my retaining it would only be a shame
So let me hear you say
Heat, like the Kingston concrete
There ain't no stoppin' the fire
We're straight breakin' ground
There ain't no cooling this thing down
We burnin' up and keep'n it krunk as we know how
Hear me now people
Catch a fire let it burn within
Catch a fire let it burn for him
The song "Daisies" by M.R.F. talks about how the artist and his group started strong and hot but began to slack off and lose their passion. The opening lyrics reflect this feeling of mediocrity and lack of motivation with “Slackin' off like a bum, I'm feelin' ho hum, I'm feelin' lukewarm like the water in my tub." But the chorus tells a different story - it encourages the listener not to give up and to ignite that fire within themselves. The repeated refrain of "Whoopsi-daisy, whoopsi-daisy, whoopsi-daisy, Come, we gonna catch that" appears to be a call to action, inviting the listener to join in and "catch that fire" (get back on track with their passion and purpose).
As the song continues, M.R.F. elaborates on this notion of "catching fire". They want to go from feeling lackluster to experiencing a full-fledged "fever" that they describe as "feenin' for a flicker." The rapper talks about the importance of fanning the flames until they grow into something bigger and more meaningful. Finally, M.R.F. talks about the transformative power of this "fire," saying it so completely changes him that it's "unexplainable" and "I'll never be the same." The song encourages listeners to embrace this power and let it "burn within for him [God]".
Overall, "Daisies" is a song about motivation, passion, and drive in the face of mediocrity. The artist wants us to remember that it's never too late to catch fire and re-ignite our passions. Even the title of the song - "Daisies" - has a deeper metaphorical meaning: just like how daisies need sun to thrive and grow, our passions and purposes need nurturing, too.
