The Fruit
Mr. Mike Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴
Watching time fly like saa hii ni growth
Low hanging fruit, head hanging low
Big boy pants on they're saggy though
Low hanging fruit, head hanging low
Watching time fly like saa hii ni growth
Low hanging fruit, head hanging low
Big boy pants on they're sagging though
Tryna buy myself some time Carrefour
Kaa hivo bro, butt of the joke
So I'm choking on these leaves hadi nichoke
Nyi mnanichosha agh
Si hio imetosha?
Kila saa? Sasa umezidi jo makosa
Tryna live right, fuck nigga in my sights
Jiondoe buda una dakika five
Low hanging fruit, head hanging low
Watching time fly like: saa hii ni growth?
Low hanging fruit, head hanging low
Big boy pants on they saggy though
Just last week when I was walking down the street
I recall this lovely lady that I wanted to meat
First time I ate her kitty, I knew evil was sweet
Got the chance to devour her over a tweet
Then she started bringing up past things
And she kept asking...
How come our love isn't lasting?
I told her
"Baby this face could be your seat"
Don't sleep on me, baby, I'll be your sheets
Mmetupa mbao, wish a nigga would
Si time ya fao
"Luko I don't mean to intrude"
Chupa ya fao, already feeling drained
Just show me your true colours juu wengine stains
So me na strain
Ma usiku washa strain
Keep calling these niggas blood, but it's all in vain
Been long not praying, najua niggas' preying
Going through the ups and downs, but I can't complain
The lyrics of Mr. Mike's song "The Fruit" delve into themes of struggle, disillusionment, and seeking validation amidst challenging circumstances. The repeated reference to "low hanging fruit, head hanging low" conveys a sense of feeling defeated or inadequate, symbolized by fruit that is easily accessible but hanging out of reach. This could represent the struggle to achieve one's goals or aspirations while feeling discouraged by external pressures.
The mention of time passing quickly and the focus on growth reflect a sense of urgency and the desire for progress despite facing obstacles. The imagery of wearing "big boy pants" that are sagging suggests a facade of maturity or capability that is not fully realized, highlighting a sense of inadequacy or impostor syndrome.
The line "Tryna live life, See I'm dead broke" juxtaposes the pursuit of a fulfilling existence with financial struggles, hinting at the tension between striving for personal fulfillment and practical realities of economic hardship. The reference to shopping at Carrefour and trying to buy time suggests a desire for a reprieve from the pressures of everyday life.
The narrative shifts to a personal encounter with a woman, where the singer reflects on past mistakes and unresolved emotions. The imagery of devouring her over a tweet and references to past relationships that have soured indicate a sense of emotional complexity and longing for genuine connection. The lyrics touch on themes of vulnerability, intimacy, and the challenges of maintaining relationships in the face of past traumas.
Overall, "The Fruit" by Mr. Mike captures a poignant reflection on life's struggles, the search for authenticity and connection, and the emotional toll of navigating hardships and disappointments. The raw honesty in the lyrics conveys a sense of vulnerability and introspection, inviting listeners to contemplate the complexities of human relationships and the pursuit of personal growth amidst adversity.

Can confirm. Dieted hard enough that I ate a nectarine once and it was so good I literally turned to my wife and said "do people know about this!?!!" like it was some kind of secret garden of flavor.
Alex Buch
same for me!! I tried a keto diet for a while because people say it's healthy and even tried carnivore for a month. After that I had a damn orange and I just couldn't believe what that tasted like. It was like from a different planet. Crazy. But damn I prefer eating fruits all the time.

I haven't eaten junk food in so long that when I have a craving for something sweet I immediately think apples and bananas, and they taste so delicious when I eat them

I'm pretty sure I could eat cherries forever without stopping. If I was sitting on a toilet and had an unlimited supply of cherries and if the cherries were refridgerated so they were cold but very ripe I think I really could steadily eat cherries non stop while periodically defecating for a few weeks until I didn't like them anymore. Thoughts?
