Hey You
NEWS Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Hey you
Beginning to get on my nerve
Hey you
Beginning to get on my nerve
Hey you
Beginning to get on my nerve
But I kinda like it though
I think I like it though
Hey you
Beginning to get on my nerve
Hairdo
Spinning around
Covering your curves
Engine like rari
Wiggle wiggle to get at me
Do not disturb me
This shit is dirty
You wanna ride it
Better deserve it
Watch out girl
Attention
Let go off
That tension
Extracting all my power
I feel underused
Hey you
Beginning to get on my nerve
Hey you
Beginning to get on my nerve
Hey you
Beginning to get on my nerve
But I kinda like it though
I think I like it though
Hey you
Beginning to get on my nerve
But I kinda like the way You looked at me
With your shy eyes
looked at me
And she surprised
I'm a different type of franchise
I feel her heart's accelerating
Cause she's never really seen a nigga full size
Watch out girl
Attention
Let go off
That tension
It's getting stormy here
I feel like a lightning rod
Hey you
Beginning to get on my nerve
Hey you
Beginning to get on my nerve
Hey you
Beginning to get on my nerve




But I kinda like it though
I think I like it though

Overall Meaning

The song "Hey You" by NEWS is a cautionary tale of someone caught up in a life of recklessness and self-destruction. The opening verse warns the person not to continue on the path of ruin, to look back at where they came from and count to ten before making a mistake. The lyrics speak to the person's missed potential, as they once had a bright future writing songs on their computer but couldn't walk the extra mile. The chorus is a call for the person to lift the heavy load and get back in control of their life, to hold their head up high and not give up hope.


The second verse introduces a conflict, as the singer asks who is with the person and what they gave them. The tension is heightened when the person takes it from the singer's shoulder holster. The final verses plead with the person to put down the gun and not kill the love they found. The song ends with the same warning it began with: "Hey now what you doing, don't go down the road to ruin."

50 year old male in NC... Lifelong musician & guitarist. Rap has never been my jam, but this tune... This can not be played loud enough. You and Tom knocked another one out. Smart, real, exposing flaws & accomplishments. Banger X1000. Love to you both from NC

Same, 68 now and have made music since I was 15. Nova is Genius. I don't use the term lightly, as it is thrown around at random. Her focus and determination, multitasking, everything she does seems to connect to a pre determined outcome. Yes, Tom is a huge star now but only because of Nova.
