Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Thought you was Persian love
Are we turning up
Or are we wasting time?
Girl, don't waste my time
You know I′m a Party
I don't just wanna chill with you
Oh no
I want to turn up on
I want to turn you on
I want to lay with you
That's the least I′ma do (ooohhh)
Fuck I look like?
I don′t wanna chill...
I'm kissing ya, I want you to feel
Can you feel it baby?
Can you feel me baby?
Can you feel it baby?
Can you feel me baby?
Kissing you there
Fucking you right
Loving you there
Loving you right
Fuck with a pro
Come baby, fuck with a pro
When you gon′ let me know?
I be kissing you slow
Tongue down, down, down, down
Tongue down, down, down, down
But you're mine, and I make you feel right
The way I′m talking girl, Ima focus all night
Ooh no no no
Make love to you
What am I doing?
The song "Bad News" by Persian Rugs is about a guy who is trying to convince a girl to turn up with him instead of just chilling. He starts by saying that he thought she was Persian but she is actually from Nicaragua. He then asks her if they are going to turn up or waste time, telling her not to waste his time. He wants to party with her and not just chill. He then says that he wants to turn her on and wants to do more than just laying with her. He doesn't want to just chill because he wants her to feel what he is feeling.
The chorus of the song is about how he wants her to feel him. He wants her to feel him kissing her and feel him having sex with her. He wants her to feel the love that he is giving her. He tells her that he is a pro and she should come and fuck with him. He then asks her when she is going to let him know if she wants to be with him. He is kissing her slowly with his tongue down because she is his and he wants her to feel right. The ending of the song is about him questioning what he is doing with her.
