Samba
N.E.K. Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

It's Del baby back again now,
Shit gone change and it ain't gone change
Wanna play games That's out of Your Range
I got, mad brains I interpret things
Precisely pick em apart, my day start with art
Foul remarks are met with the tart
Attitude, that is rude boy, buddy embark on a Journey
Boy the tumble and dry keep turning
I be burning the midnight oils
Computer screens glaze while my ideas coil
I'm a Leo, I veto my ego, when I greet all my peoples I see through the evil
Can't outfox this, I'm cautious with gob stoppers
Who pop they choppers, uh uh
No go, I said so. you're flaky like the outside bread on an egg roll
Diesel, the measles, you don't wanna catch those
Slap foes, dap bros, welcome to the black hole
Lets all act now unless you cracked out
My mouth spit math out, hope you don't pass out

And we can do this with a bit of
Samba Soul
I want yall to really get wit it let it hit your in the
Soul
Can you dig it, can you dig, can you dig it?
Yeah yeah yeah...

Out of sight, I knew you could so lets roll and get down with this
Soul

Diesel neither come back or flow back, know that
Cut off a limb this shit grow back
Slip it a kojak, blaze up a drosack
Just so I can get in the Bo black
Hoes that's
Difficult, Just cause they weak inside, like speakin lies
I'll ignore them, symptom of boredom
Whores come in dozens, plus they a dime a dozen
No time for frontin', better find em something
My motto is don't be sayin' shit you don't be doin and you wont be ruined
I don't be foolin', I hope these useless gooses stop the foolishness
They're excuses merely lead to my
Inclusive clairvoyance about a fear of enjoyment
Of hoes tryna snare em a billionaire boyfriend
Bitch your pussy's not gonna hold me
My mind calisthenics is my whole motif, my flow go deep
Know those streets from the solo creep
Know those beats
So don't sleep, that's how you get taken unaware
Aching for a Share, hatin' on a playa
Never wanna look toward, just sit there and look bored
And got the nerve to be materialistic when knowledge ain't nowhere on their wish list

And then they blow they whole goal
Don't even recognize inside they own soul
And then they blow they whole goal
Don't even recognize inside they own soul

And we can do this with a bit of
Samba Soul
I want y'all to really get wit it let it hit you in the
Soul
Can you dig it, can you dig, can you dig it?

Out of sight, I knew you could so lets roll and get down with this
Soul

D-E-L the man you know he'll rock it too
Whenever you hand him a microphone to use
He is down to business, you know that he don't play
So just bear witness to that Samba Soul he display

And we can do this with a bit of
Samba Soul
I want y'all to really get wit it let it hit your in the
Soul
Can you dig it, can you dig, can you dig it?
Yeah yeah yeah...





Out of sight, I knew you could so lets roll and get down with this
Soul

Overall Meaning

The song "Samba" by N.E.K. begins with Del returning, acknowledging that things may have changed but his ability to interpret and understand things has not. He asserts his intelligence and dismisses those who play games out of their range. Del boasts about his mental prowess and his ability to pick things apart precisely. He begins his day with art and responds to criticism with a bitter attitude. He embarks on a journey, spinning words and ideas into a web that he can manipulate. He is cautious with those who are quick to pop their guns and asserts his authority over those he considers flaky. The chorus enters, a call to dance and feel good, to allow the groove to enter one's soul.


In the second verse, Del continues to break down his understanding of the world. He separates himself from those who are false, lies and boredom bringing out his disregard for the weak. He continues to note the dime-a-dozen nature of women who flock to him but he has no time for their conversational drivel. He does not lie or pretend, and this sets him apart. He does not waste time on foolishness, always aware of a fear of enjoyment stemming from others who can only see the material. Del notes the way others fall apart in materialism, ignoring their inner soul and heart as they lose their true goal. He again calls for everyone to let themselves go and feel the soul.
