Help Youngblood Get To The Freaky Party
Marie Teena Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I met a guy named Youngblood, who was totally berserk
He told me he was looking for a place to lay his head
I read him Romans 8:14 and this is what he said
Girl, some of my homeboys told me 'bout a freaky party
Down on 63rd and Babylon
Come on girl, let's go, I got plenty of blow, and it's more fun doing wrong
I'd really like to make you, if you'd only let me date you
You'd belong only to me
He said I know that there's a freak deep down inside of you
Dying to get out, and oh
He asked me to help Youngblood get to the freaky party
But I'm not gonna help Youngblood get to the freaky party
I can't begin to tell you of the sadness in my mind
Knowing there was no contentment in two eyes so blind
I told him that the joy would surely bring eternal bliss
I read Galatians Chapter 4, and he said yea check this
Girl, some of my homeboys told me 'bout a freaky party
Down on 63rd and Babylon
Come on girl, get live, it's a much hipper vibe
And it's more fun doing wrong
The ladies call me baby 'cause I've got a killer smile
And they love my smooth touch
Only time will tell, if there's Heaven or Hell
Or if I'm just out to lunch
He said I know that there's a freak deep down inside of you
Dying to get out, and oh
He asked me to help Youngblood get to the freaky party
But I'm not gonna help Youngblood get to the freaky party
Girl, some of my homeboys told me 'bout a freaky party on 63rd and Babylon
Come on girl, let's ride, it's a long way to slide and it's more fun doing wrong
And the ladies call you lover 'cause you got a killer smile and they love your smooth touch
But all that you have done, you can tell to the one
Who has given you so much
The song "Help Youngblood Get to the Freaky Party" by Marie Teena tells the story of a young man named Youngblood who is looking for acceptance and belonging in all the wrong places. The singer, who is a Christian woman, meets Youngblood on her way back from church. Youngblood tells her about a freaky party and asks her to go with him since he's heard that she's got a freak inside of her waiting to come out. However, the singer tries to explain to Youngblood that there is a better way to live and that he should find contentment in God and not in temporary pleasures.
The lyrics of the song allude to the Bible verses that the singer reads to Youngblood. For instance, she reads him Romans 8:14 and Galatians Chapter 4 to show him that there is joy and eternal bliss to be found in a relationship with God. The song also explores the tension between sin and righteousness, with Youngblood wanting to do wrong and the singer being caught between helping him get to the freaky party or helping him see the light.
Overall, "Help Youngblood Get to the Freaky Party" is a cautionary tale about the dangers of looking for belonging and happiness in the wrong places. The singer tries to show Youngblood a better way by pointing him towards a life of faith, but it remains unclear whether he ultimately listens to her advice or not.
