Traveling
N.A.N.D.O. Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Lamping on a sailboat rocking to that Kurt Cobain
While I watch this brown skin thang give me brain
Asking her if she like pills, no reason
And ya clothes, leave those, don't need them
I'm strictly passport swag now baby no visa
Unless I'm swiping, then you know I need it
You sweet as pie now Ms. Baker can I call you Anita
Ms. Theresa, I think that sound like nice to meet ya
The Detroit Lion and I'm hungry it'll be nice to eat ya
That nigga lame, why else would you be here with me in Egypt
And I'm good around the world so girl don't sweat them customs people
Boo, I'm just saying
Ah, I hate the bullshit but love to travel so I make time for it
Uh okay, eating up them white sands
Banshee 700 sipping Rani
Sun blazing smoking hash like it's nothing
That's my Doha, Hafeet and Shukran, that's how I do
And my gang is just like Topang'is boy that's like glue
Mama'motari tana'telem she'mekonem
That mean I search flash light in day light only for tens
Brauche Kanoom, girl where you been, no, it's where you at
I can fly you to Dubai and buy you
Then fly you back but I'm saying
Boo, I'm just saying
Ah, I hate the bullshit but love to travel
So I make time for it
The lyrics of N.A.N.D.O.'s song "Traveling" depict a carefree and adventurous lifestyle, where the singer enjoys traveling to various destinations and indulging in different experiences. The opening lines set the scene on a sailboat, with the reference to Kurt Cobain evoking a sense of alternative 90s rock music and rebellion. The mention of receiving oral pleasure ("give me brain") suggests a hedonistic and uninhibited mindset.
The lyrics also touch upon the singer's affinity for drugs, with a casual question about pills without any specific reason. This highlights a desire for instant gratification and a willingness to engage in questionable behaviors. The rejection of clothes symbolizes a sense of freedom and liberation from material possessions, aligning with the passport swag persona that the singer embodies.
There is a hint of ego and entitlement in the lyrics, as the singer mentions wanting to call someone Anita and expressing frustration when that is not possible. The reference to Ms. Theresa is a play on words, as it phonetically sounds like "nice to eat ya." This adds a layer of sexual innuendo and further emphasizes the singer's hedonistic tendencies.
The lyrics also mention the singer's reputation as a traveler, suggesting that they are well-versed in navigating customs and cultures. The mention of Egypt and the Detroit Lion showcases a sense of global mobility and the singer's confidence in attracting people from different places. The line "Boo, I'm just saying" is a recurring phrase that adds a nonchalant and dismissive tone, as if the singer is speaking their truth without caring about potential consequences.
Overall, the lyrics of "Traveling" depict a character who prioritizes travel and indulgence, embracing a lifestyle of freedom, substance use, and casual encounters.
