Indecision
MONEYPHONE Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
My mama worried when a nigga gon' end up dead
But so what? Nigga, I can't really worry
I just keep my self sustained with dreams of making some money, nigga
I might ride, I might slide on the way to your crib
With a fat lip and skin poking out of my ribs
I'm a young dude, young nigga, Vaseline
Skin shining, baby, we could be the winning team
This might be the last time
Indecisions of a past life never helped me out
I'm going where the sun shines all day
I'm going where the sun shines all day
This might be the last time
Indecisions of a past life never helped me out
I'm going where the sun shines all day
I'm going on the run now
Young, black and I'm arrogant, roses smellin' so flagrant
Indecision ain't never gon' make a nigga rich
Risk it all for the hell of it, family needed the benefits
Indecision ain't never gon' make a nigga rich
If we get it, we earned it, put my life on the burner
Indecision ain't never gon' make a nigga rich
Holy Spirit my dividend, never livin' in fear again
I don't need a man to make a nigga fuckin' rich
This might be the last time
Indecisions of a past life never helped me out
I'm going where the sun shines all day
I'm going where the sun shines all day
This might be the last time
Indecisions of a past life never helped me out
I'm going where the sun shines all day
I'm going on the run now
This might be the last time (this might be the last time)
Indecisions of a past life never helped me out
I'm going where the sun shines all day
I'm going on the run now
(I'm going on the run now)
I never last long if I kiss my ego
When the silver stops shining, where do we go?
I was sixteen, never had no passport
Never at the gym shooting shots off backboards
Always kept two sets of keys in my back pocket
Used to feel like the man when I got to talking
I was twenty-two, trippin' off a fucking bean
Tryna get this vision, been enamored since I was a teen
Need my baby, need my family, all my siblings, shit
All my family stuntin', riding out with all my friends and shit
Things may get hard day to day and I'm sorry
Goddamn, how'd this world get so cold?
Going gets tough living life in the backseat
But I know I'm never alone
Things may get hard day to day and I'm sorry
Goddamn, how'd this world get so cold?
Going gets tough living life in the backseat
But I know I'm never alone
The lyrics in MONEYPHONE's song "Indecision" delve into themes of struggle, ambition, and the pursuit of success.

The concluding lines convey the hardship and coldness of the world.

Going gets tough living life in the backseat
Navigating through life becomes challenging when you are constantly in a subordinate position
But I know I'm never alone
Despite the hardships, I find comfort in the knowledge that I have support and companionship
