Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Jump in the whip
Poor up the liq
Roll up the gas
Pretty lil bitch
One hand on the wheel
One hand on her ass
Windows is down
Ridin round town

Music on blast
Destination unknown
To where I don't know
But we going fast
Jump in the whip
Poor up the liq
Roll up the gas
Pretty lil bitch
One hand on the wheel
One hand on her ass
Windows is down
Ridin round town
Music on blast
Destination unknown
To where I don't know
But we going fast
Soul ski, bitch its a stick up
Speedin, while she suck my dick up
Loco, I think she mental
Swallow, you better not spit up
Runnin lights
Reckless drive
She's surprised like
Have you lost your mind
Imma keep it hot with you
I cannot lie
Right now I don't know how much I Care bout life
Visions hazy
Barely can see but shit I feel amazing
I'm gone go wherever
This road takes me
And fuck the world
How I been feeling lately
Since I lost OG I can't feel a thing
Sometimes I just wish
It was all a dream
Cant control the thoughts
In my mind
I feel like this all of the time
Don't know what to do so I ride

Can't see now
What is that bright light

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to M. Ashraf's song "Unknown" depict a scene of reckless driving, fueled by alcohol and drugs, with a pretty girl by the singer's side. The destination is unknown, but the speed is high, and there is a sense of aimlessness and detachment from reality. The refrain repeats several times, stressing the hedonistic pleasure of the ride, the presence of the lady, and the lack of direction. The second verse adds a darker tone to the lyrics, with the singer admitting that he cannot control his thoughts, and that he has lost someone close to him, which makes him feel numb and careless about his own life. The bright light at the end may suggest a fatal ending to the ride, or a symbolic image of transcendence.

The lyrics of "Unknown" reflect the themes of anxiety, nihilism, and self-destructive behavior that are recurrent in contemporary rap and hip-hop. The glorification of drug and alcohol use, the objectification of women, and the dangerous thrill of speeding and breaking rules are all present in the song, but they are also questioned and subverted by the hints of sadness and loss that the singer reveals. The ambiguity of the ending leaves the interpretation open to multiple possibilities, inviting the listener to reflect on the meaning and consequences of such reckless behavior.
