Dead END
Master Shortie Lyrics

Oh
Opening line

This tune goes out too the chick I just met, at the train station
Dedication to a girl that he met at the train station

With her skinny jeans on
Description of the girl's appearance

Her little indie pumps
Description of the girl's footwear

You now what I'm talking it about
Acknowledgment that the listener understands the reference

Y-Y-You know I was speechless when I saw you
Admission of attraction

But I got a girl
Mention of his current relationship status

So it's dead end
He cannot pursue anything with the girl he met

Listen
Transition to the next verse

I step out my yard with a new flo,
Introduction of the rapper's swagger

Skinny jeans on and my hats low,
Description of his own appearance

Happiness fam that the new cro,
Description of his current state of mind

I clock Bnp ahah, no
Reference to a monetary or financial institution

They say that I'm short but I know,
Awareness of his height being a topic of discussion

So I look to my leg and repated negro,
Self-affirming statement

Like a toaster I collect dough
Reference to collecting money

My lyrics are felt so no need to use biro,
Confidence in his lyrical ability

My Flows tight like two thongs,
Proud statement about his flow or rhymes

I roll with the mandem that are too strong,
Mention of his entourage

I lay low like futon and everybodys like: yo what's wrong?
Explanation of his low profile

I'm about to bust cause I've been waiting at this stop for to long,
Impatience at waiting at the train station

There's a wifey draught I clock one girl but me gotta crusie on,
Noticing a lack of potential partners but still unable to pursue anyone due to current relationship status

Don't look now,
Repetition of a refrain

Keep walking,
Advice to the girl he met not to stop or engage further

Cause I got a girl at home,
Reiteration of his relationship status

Waiting for me
Mention of his girlfriend

And if I do look now,
Acknowledgment of temptation

Will I ever, get over you?
Question about the impact the encounter will have on him

Cause it's a dead end, it's a dead end, it's a dead end
Repetition of the chorus

How about we get a little closer?
Suggestion to pursue the encounter further

Cause tonight you look hot like a samosa,
Compliment to the girl he met

You be the melody, I'll be the beat
Suggestion to collaborate in some way

I'll play you cause I'm the composer
Taking control of the situation

This is my composition
Establishing the relationship as his creation

Followed by ammunition,
Assertion of his skill or talent

New addtition, expedition, definiton
Words related to creation or innovation

Change position
Request or suggestion for change

I know you like electro
Reference to the girl's musical preference

Don't think I didn't clock you,
Acknowledgment of noticing something

Listening to them tunes in your headphones on the train opposite me
Description of how he noticed the girl's music preference

Oh... my girl
Realization of his relationship status

Two legs entwine, as I refine on Gods design tonight,
Suggestion of how things could have gone if he were single

I do a little rhyme, take a little time, so I hold you right,
Fantasizing about what could have happened

You and me together just think,
Continuation of the fantasy

I would take you for a nice drink,
Offer to take her out

I would tell you the reason why but the verse is done,
Suddenly ending the fantasy

Arghh shit, my pen just ran out of ink,
Self-referential acknowledgment of ending the verse suddenly

Already we at home, ready to bone
Transition to sexual content

And she gone and I'm thinking to myself,
Girl he met leaves him unsatisfied

How the fuck she geting home?
Question about the girl's transportation

I know I didn't flop like millenium dome,
Bandwagon reference to a public failure or embarrassment

And I'm taking over control like Ken Livingstone
Reference to a public figure who asserts control

I roll up your thighs and your ready to moan,
Transition to sexual content

But listen my mums at home,
Realization of the presence of other people in the house

I like you a lot so please just stay,
Request for the girl he met to stay

I don't know why you wanna go away
Acknowledgment of the girl's desire to leave

Ayyyy!
Exclamation

Oooh Ooooh
Repetition of a refrain

I know I like you but ooooh noooo,
Desire for the girl he met

I got a wifey at hoomee,
Reminder of his current relationship status

She can cook much better than you
Comparison between the girl he met and his girlfriend

She looks much better than you
Continuation of the comparison

She does it better than
Final statement in the comparison

Oooooh Oooooh
Repetition of a refrain

I know I like you but oooh nooo,
Reiteration of his attraction to the girl he met

I got a wifey and, oh oh
Final reminder of his current relationship status

Don't look now,
Repetition of a refrain

Keep walking,
Reiteration of advice to the girl he met

Cause I got a girl at home,
Closing reminder of his girlfriend

Waiting for me
Closing mention of his girlfriend

And if I do look now,
Closing repetition of temptation

Will I ever get over you?
Closing rhetorical question

Cause it's a dead end, it's a dead end, it's a dead end
Closing refrain repetition

Oh oh
Closing repetition of a musical element
