R.Y.N Lyrics

Hello? Hey mom, it's me mom
The singer is calling their mother but they cannot disclose their whereabouts

Can't tell you where I sleep mom
The singer is living in a location that they cannot reveal to their mother

'Cause that's where we be mom
The location in which the singer resides is also where others like them reside

Sometimes I steal and cheat mom
The artist engages in illegal activities to get by

Yes, I get enough to eat mom
The artist is able to satisfy their need for food

Mom, can you listen to me?
The singer is seeking attention and empathy from their mother

No! I don't mess with guns
The singer does not possess or use weapons

Yes in my travels I have seen one
The artist has seen guns during their travels

No, being a runaway is no fun
The artist does not enjoy living as a runaway

But house rules sure were not fun
The artist experienced unpleasant rules and regulations at home

Something told me to
The singer was compelled to take action

(Jump! Jump! Jump! Jump! Jump!)
An anthem-like chorus that captures the spirit of taking bold action

And I don't care now
The singer is indifferent to the consequences of their actions

Cause we don't get out
The singer and those like them are trapped in their situation

I packed my things now
The singer is preparing to leave

Fuck this shit right now, I'm checking out
The artist is fed up and has decided to leave

Hey dad, I'm o.k. dad, that's what you say dad
The artist is speaking to their father and recalling past conversations

I never could obey dad
The singer could not conform to their father's expectations

You would have bad days dad
The singer's father would have negative moods

And you would make me pay dad make me feel way sad
The artist's father would take out their negative emotions on the artist

Punk rock, tattoos, leather jacket
The artist is describing their style and appearance

Good grades don't come with that package
The artist does not conform to traditional standards of success

Yes why'all I would love to match it
The singer admires those with a similar style

But names just make it harder to hack it by
The artist struggles to be taken seriously because of their appearance

Don't let your teachers teach you about wealth to death
The singer advises against focusing solely on monetary success

Maybe there's something else (I'm checking out)
The singer is searching for alternative paths to success and is ready to leave their current situation

Don't let Massah teach you that we are by ourselves
The singer advises against believing that they are alone in their struggles

'Cause trust me there's something else (I'm checking out)
The artist believes there are alternative paths to success beyond what they have been taught

Oh la la la, la la, la la - la la la, la la, la la
A musical interlude

Shh...maybe there's something else (I'm checking out)
The singer is considering other options and is ready to leave their current situation

See we're not part of the Magna Charta
The singer is not included in traditional systems of power and authority

There's no shuttle for us to charter
The artist is not provided with the same opportunities and resources as others

No...they're keeping it for themselves (I'm checking out)
The artist believes that those in power are not sharing resources and opportunities equally

My ex-girlfriend I'm trying
The artist is attempting to reconcile with their ex-girlfriend

And her new boyfriend I'd fight him
The singer is experiencing jealousy and aggression towards their ex-girlfriend's new partner

And what about my cousins?
The artist is thinking about their family members

Tell 'em that I love 'em
The singer expresses love for their family members

I'm not perfect nor facetious
The singer acknowledges their imperfections and sincerity

But at home I've felt fearless
The singer can be themselves and feel brave at home

Your son completely hate less
The artist is accepting of others and promotes love

Turn to BBC you should see this
The artist advises the listener to watch BBC

A thousand heads
A reference to the crowd or audience

I woke up thinking something (I'm checking out) (jump!)
The singer is reflecting on their life and considering leaving their current situation

Wish I had it my way (jump!)
The artist desires to have control over their life

Though I'm a rebel some can say (I'm checking out) (jump!)
The artist does not conform to traditional societal expectations and is ready to leave their current situation

I'm told it's neither (jump! jump! jump!)
The artist has heard differing opinions about their actions and lifestyle

(I'm checking out)
The singer is ready to leave their current situation and pursue alternative options

(Jump! Jump! Jump! Jump! Jump!)
An anthem-like chorus that captures the spirit of taking bold action

N-E-are-D
A scratched phrase that may signify the name of an artist or collective

Astronaut suits by the BBC! - [Repeat until fade]
A playful and surreal conclusion to the song
