Night Rider
Masked Wolf Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Ay, ay
Masked Wolf
Night Rider

Scars and wounds, but you will never see these cuts
Burned down to the core, ashes with the dust, uh
I just always rush, uh, I think way too much (woah)
But now I call your bluff, owl in the dark

I'm a night rider
Head down, flyin' fast, skydiver
Didn't make the cut like it's live wire
Thread the needle like I'm Arya
Out in the dark, I'm a night rider (night rider)
Ouh, yeah, yeah
I'm a night rider (night rider)
Ouh, ay, ay

24 hours (24)
Still thinkin' 'bout you, hou-hou
But I know I gotta change, it's playing with my brain
And I'm ridin' with no roof, hou-hou

I'm a night rider (ni-night rider)
Head down, flyin' fast, skydiver
Didn't make the cut like it's live wire, uh-mmph, ouh
Out in the dark, I'm a night rider

(Ay, ay, Masked Wolf)
(Ahahah)

Y'all wanna pop to this
Medusa wanna rock to this (rider)
They wanna see me trip, ay
But I came back, double dip
Through the smoke, I'm still gone, go
See it in their face, they think I'm phased
Give me couple days, God, lemme pray
To the J-I-D, lemme meditate (let's go)
I'm back on my bullshit, they say that they hard, yeah
They flowers like tulips (ay), talk about dollars
I talk about scars who you know that do this?
Beat it up, my feat is up, I came to lead this, huh, my Jesus, huh
Got me keepin' more sanity inside
You don't wanna mess with my pride
Gotta ride on, damn, in the coop with the light on
Man, I'm a lion, time to get my fight on, ay (woah)
Give 'em astro, with a cash flow, now the flow smooth like back stroke
Like row, row with a paddle, I win wars, yeah, not battles
I-I-I drop to the beat, I'ma lead to defeat
Anything in my way, better move, I don't play
Let it loose and I spray like doo-doo-doo
Head-shots all day to the dome, let me say like ouh-ouh-ouh, gone match me (ba-bow)
I'm old school, Jurassic
Your new wave ain't a cool wave, I'm frozen, I'm classic (drip)

(Ay, Masked Wolf)
(Night rider)

They've been scoutin' me like they watchin' every move
Yeah, I'm sittin' on the headlines, like we talkin' 'bout the news (yeah)
They talkin' way too much, like they been up in my shoes (woo)
You better watch out, this night rider on the loose
They been scoutin' me, like they watchin' every move (yuh)
Yeah, I'm sittin' on the headlines, like we talkin' 'bout the news (oo)
They talkin' way too much, like they been up in my shoes (ayy)




You better watch out, this night rider on the loose
This night rider on the loose

Overall Meaning

In "Night Rider," Masked Wolf reflects on the loneliness and pressure of success as an artist. He describes the emotional toll it takes to constantly push himself to keep going, even when it means sacrificing his own well-being. The scars and wounds he mentions may represent both physical and emotional pain, as he tries to balance his personal life with the demands of his career.


The image of the night rider is an apt metaphor for Masked Wolf's sense of isolation. He is alone in the dark, flying fast and taking risks like a skydiver. The repetition of the phrase "I'm a night rider" underscores his determination to keep going no matter what.


In the second verse, Masked Wolf addresses his critics directly, asserting his dominance as an artist and shrugging off their attempts to bring him down. He mentions "Medusa" and "J-I-D" as if to suggest that he can withstand their attempts to petrify or distract him. He also references his own previous struggles with mental health ("playing with my brain") and the need to move forward.


Overall, "Night Rider" shows Masked Wolf grappling with the pressures of fame and the struggle to balance his own needs with those of his fans and supporters.
