secret
Raveena Vince Staples Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Boy, can you keep a secret?
I know I'm the one you can't have
I know that I am your weakness
If you wanna play, I'll call you back
If you want the star treatment
You could find another girl for that
I'm a flirt, it's not a secret
Wait a sec', I'll hit you right back

And now, with the pearls in my hair
Hands up and I'll ride you on the chair
Hands tied, don't tell them that I'm dirty
At the shoot, you were stunned, head turning
Move it up and down like a cobra
Then you said that I like 'em older
Now I see she's got a type
I let her slide for tonight

Now you're open
Hello, I'm potent
Boy, boy
Boy, boy

Pretty women on Sunset (we love y'all so much)
Plenty women on Fig (I love you)
Everybody get lonely (yeah)
Baby, wanna get lit (ay, I don't do that boo, what you drinking?)
She don't wanna get married (me neither, we good)
But she wanna get rich
Late night lover (late night, on the late night)
Cum on this-, ayy
What can make you wanna get away?
Tie the ribbon in the sky and watch it drift away (wehre we going?)
Cupid shot and hit your heart, it didn't ricochet (yeah)
Now we're getting into something, live the Hemingway
Yeah, ain't no giving you the run-a-round (yeah)
Get inside, I'm feeling high, I'm never coming down (ah, hell nah)
What you trippin' on? How the summer sound?
Put it in a song, put it in your-, yeah

Boy, can you keep a secret? (Can you keep a secret?)
I know I'm the one you can't have (I want you)
I know that I am your weakness (yeah)
If you wanna play, I'll call you back
If you want the star treatment
You could find another girl for that
I'm a flirt, it's not a secret (no secret, yeah)
Wait a sec', I'll hit you right back

Boy, noy (yeah)
Boy (yeah), boy (what's up, man?)
Ohh, yeah
Ohh, yeah, ohh

Suno na meri baat
Suno na meri baat
Suno na meri baat
Suno na meri baat




Suno na meri baat
Suno na meri baat

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Raveena and Vince Staples's song Secret depicts the mysterious and seductive persona of a woman who is not easily obtainable. The opening lines are an invitation to someone: "Boy, can you keep a secret? I know I'm the one you can't have, I know that I am your weakness. If you wanna play, I'll call you back." This tone reveals that this woman is only interested in playing games and not serious commitments. She is a flirt and enjoys teasing others, but her true identity and desires remain a secret.


The second verse describes the woman's allure and how she uses her beauty and charm to captivate her targets. "Move it up and down like a cobra, Then you said that I like 'em older. Now I see she's got a type. I let her slide for tonight." This line shows that the woman is self-aware and uses her body movements to entice her partner. However, the woman also has a deep understanding of human emotions and knows that love and attraction can fade away.


Overall, Secret is a song about the power of attraction, seduction, and the complexities of love. The lyrics convey the idea that relationships are not always straightforward, and people often hide their true feelings or intentions.

Woah, this changes everything. The energy of this album will be amazing. While Lucid is the journey of finding balance and self-love, I feel this one will be about finding our inner strenght (and with flirtation vibe to it). Really exciting. Never stop Growing. ๐Ÿ“
