Mene Gene Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Steady wishin' I could press rewind, so I could lay my eyes right back on you
I don't look both ways when I cross your mind, but I know you do
You hit me cuz you wan't me to pull up, so you know I'm comin' through
And you know I come straight from the trenches
Gotta tote my tool, no wrenches
Said you worried bout who I'm textin', But I'm textin' you
You hit my phone, you stressin'
I ain't here to break your heart, girl that's not what I do with
Said you wanted a real nigga to hood you down
You used to gangsters and drug dealers, niggas holdin' pounds
Not like them niggas, you know
Beat it up, leave you pigeon toe'd
Spark it up, backwood, get it rolled
Catch a body for you, keep it tucked
Phone broke, imma still keep in touch
Keep it a hundred, then you keepin' my trust
I know you trippin' cuz you want love
Told me you want Hennessy in your cup
Know u don't wan't me to leave, it's no rush
Why you tripping over me? Girl don't fuss
(Cuz I know that you believin' in us)
No I ain't going there to waste your time
Steady wishin' I could press rewind, so I could lay my eyes right back on you
I don't look both ways when I cross your mind, but I know you do
You hit me cuz you wan't me to pull up, so you know I'm comin' through
And you know I come straight from the trenches
Gotta tote my tool, no wrenches
Said you worried bout who I'm textin', But I'm texting you
You hit my phone, you stressin'
Talkin' bout you want this blessin'
I ain't here to break your heart, girl that's not what I do
Don't wanna waste your time, don't wanna play games
Know when you press my line, cuz you're tired of the same thing
I got two options, the coffin or chain gang
She know I'm a stepper, she lovin' the way that I hustle and maintain
Why they call the cops on him
Man you know we got the Glock on him
Said your ex tryna pop on him
It's okay, we got the drop on him
Shawty's a dime, she know imma slide, right after my stain
Just don't wast my time babygirl, I don't wanna play no games
No I ain't going there to waste your time
Steady wishin' I could press rewind, so I could lay my eyes right back on you
I don't look both ways when I cross your mind, but I know you do
You hit me cuz you wan't me to pull up, so you know I'm comin' through
And you know I come straight from the trenches
Gotta tote my tool, no wrenches
Said you worried bout who I'm textin', But I'm textin' you
You hit my phone, you stressin'
Talkin' bout you want this blessin'
I ain't here to break your heart, girl that's not what I do with
"Mene Gene's" song "Rewind" is primarily about a tumultuous relationship and the singer's desire to go back in time and make things right. The lyrics detail his constant back-and-forth with his significant other, who is troubled by who he texts and his loyalty to her. Despite this, she still reaches out to him and wants him to come see her. The singer acknowledges his "trenches" background and the fact that he's not like the other men she's dated in the past. He assures her that he's not there to break her heart, but he doesn't want to waste her time either. He's straightforward about his intentions and feelings, and he wants to keep things as they are.
The second verse takes a slightly darker turn as the singer discusses the dangerous side of the life he leads. He's accepted those risks, though, and he ultimately hopes that his girl will stay by his side through it all. The chorus repeats the theme of wanting to turn back time and "lay [his] eyes right back on" her. While he knows she thinks about him, he also realizes that he thinks about her just as much. Overall, "Rewind" paints a picture of a rocky relationship with two people still willing to make it work despite their differences and challenges.
