Civilian
MONEYPHONE Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Long head Samson deluded cash got
My neck and my worries in a proper handful
Bashful kinfolk, as for road block
We just speak slow, and side step
Mind fetch mean caution
I proceed with honest
My niggas in onyx
Too many holes in my sweater
Told my mom I'd do better
On their hands and knees
Got people begging me please
They said, "Why you always walking with your head down?
And why can't you just give us what we need?"
Another week, week, tell me please, what'll it be?
Another week, week, tell me please, what do you need?
Another week, week, tell me please, what'll it be?
Another week, week, tell me please, what do you need?
Black tint civilian
Might try to make me a million
My niggas hand me my armor
And make my blood turn reptilian, uh
Black tint civilian
Might try to make me a million
My niggas hand me my armor
And make my blood turn reptilian, uh
Black tint civilian
Might try to make me a million
My niggas hand me my armor
And make my blood turn reptilian, uh
Black tint civilian
Might try to make me a million
My niggas hand me my armor
And make my blood turn reptilian, uh
I remember feeling odd
But never meant to let it get between us
And I remember feeling flawed
And hoping you could let it go
And God, I'ma do what I want
'Cause my name's the reason I wake up and feel like a king
Dreaming of something that's bigger than Him
So no man can tell me what I need now
Might hang out the side, whatever's called for
Neck place on line, that's what I sign for
Bleed out on guillotine, these niggas spiteful
I can't associate, a nigga prideful
Black tint civilian
Might try to make me a million
My niggas hand me my armor
And make my blood turn reptilian, uh
Black tint civilian
Might try to make me a million
My niggas hand me my armor
And make my blood turn reptilian, uh
Black tint civilian
Might try to make me a million
My niggas hand me my armor
And make my blood turn reptilian, uh
Black tint civilian
Might try to make me a million
My niggas hand me my armor
And make my blood turn reptilian, uh
Neck place on line
Neck place on line
Bleed out online (bleed)
Guillo, guillo, guillo, guillo
Guillo, guillotine
Black tint civilian
Might try to make me a million
My armor from brothers gon' make me a million
Black tint civilian
Might try to make me a million
My armor from brothers gon' make me a million
Black tint civilian
Might try to make me a million
My armor from brothers gon' make me a million
Black tint civilian
Might try to make me a million
My armor from brothers gon' make me a million
The lyrics to MONEYPHONE's song "Civilian" express themes of struggle, defiance, and the pursuit of success. The opening lines convey a sense of control and power, as the singer refers to their head to signify their thoughts and decision-making abilities. The use of "Long head Samson deluded cash got" suggests a sense of confidence in their ability to attain wealth and overcome obstacles. The mention of worries being held in a "proper handful" hints at the burdens the singer carries.
The next lines introduce the idea of societal pressure and the expectation to provide for others. The singer describes people pleading with them to fulfill their needs and questioning why they always walk with their head down. This can be interpreted as commentary on the pressure society places on individuals to meet expectations and the struggle of balancing personal desires with the demands of others.
The chorus emphasizes the pursuit of financial gain, with the "black tint civilian" symbolizing an image of wealth and success. The repetition of the line "Might try to make me a million" suggests ambition and determination, as the singer's entourage plays a supportive role in their pursuit. The mention of their blood turning reptilian could imply a hardened and ruthless mindset necessary to succeed in the pursuit of wealth.
In the second verse, the singer reflects on feeling different and flawed but not wanting those feelings to come between them and others. There is a sense of longing for acceptance and understanding, while also asserting their independence and desire to pursue their own dreams. The line "Dreaming of something that's bigger than Him" suggests a desire for greatness beyond societal expectations and limitations.
The repeated lines in the second chorus reinforce the idea of ambition and the sacrifices made in the pursuit of success. The mention of the neck being on the line and the reference to a guillotine represents the risks taken and the potential consequences faced by the singer while remaining resilient and prideful.
The outro continues the themes of ambition and support, emphasizing the role of the singer's brothers in their journey towards success. The repetition of the line "My armor from brothers gon' make me a million" emphasizes the importance of their support system and the strength they gain from it.
Overall, "Civilian" by MONEYPHONE reflects the challenges, pressures, and determination one faces in the pursuit of wealth and success, showcasing a mix of vulnerability, defiance, and ambition.

From my feet to my goddamn head top
From the lowest part of me to the highest point
Long head Samson deluded cash got
Being obsessed with money and power
My neck and my worries in a proper handful
Carrying the weight of my problems and concerns
Bashful kinfolk, as for road block
My cautious and reserved friends, despite obstacles
We just speak slow, and side step
Taking our time and avoiding confrontations
Mind fetch mean caution
Being careful and cautious in our thoughts
I proceed with honest
I act truthfully and with integrity
My niggas in onyx
My friends are loyal and strong
Too many holes in my sweater
Having too many problems and flaws
Told my mom I'd do better
Promising to improve myself
On their hands and knees
People begging and pleading
Got people begging me please
People asking for my help
They said, 'Why you always walking with your head down?
Questioning why I appear downcast
And why can't you just give us what we need?'

Black tint civilian
Mysterious and secretive presence
Might try to make me a million
Attempting to achieve great wealth
My niggas hand me my armor
My friends provide me with protection
And make my blood turn reptilian, uh
Instilling a sense of coldness and ruthlessness
I remember feeling odd
Recalling a sense of being different
But never meant to let it get between us
Not allowing it to affect our relationship
And I remember feeling flawed
Being aware of my imperfections
And hoping you could let it go
Desiring forgiveness and acceptance
And God, I'ma do what I want
I will assert my independence and make my decisions
