Arizona
Rich Brian Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Yea, yea
Da da da
No starvin'
Yea

Hope is gone, is gone
Since I been in Arizona, yea
I fell in love, in love
Since I been in Arizona
Ohh when the sun comes through the blinds
I know exactly who to call
Watchin' the sun set in your eyes
But I spend the night alone

Ohh, in Arizona
In Arizona, in Arizona
Ohh, in Arizona
In Arizona, in fuckin' Arizona

Transportin' through the land
Switchin' for the desert sand
World tour, Jodeci
Diary of a mad band
4 AM, microdose, feelin' like a mad man
Don't want none of that, eyes on the game plan
Pink haze, lemonade
Ma said "Brian can't misbehave"
But I feel like Yeezy beamin' out the Milky Way
People try to stop me, but I'm searing through the waves
I know, higher than my peeps don't need to give a light show
People wonderin' where in the fuck is Indo
Staring at my screen I need a fuckin' window
Yeah, cold out so I wear a mink coat
Damn it feel good to be a boss
Eyes wide open like I'm smokin' on the rocks
Never spent bread even though I got a lot
Still like to rap even though I sing a lot
Money flipper, I'm earnin' burnin' Catalina wine mixer
Workin' out so much, you might just see me on the Sixers
I'm lookin' pretty good you might just wanna hide your sisters
I put 'em in their feelings, get them listening to SZA
Top down, ass up, pussy so good got me doin' back flips
Livin' memories over on my mattress
Lemon taste good drinkin' from the cactus
Zero gravity in the room like NASA
All I hear is heart beats growin' faster
Mention everything, fuck it its the last song
Asked you a question where's the fuckin' answer

Ohh, in Arizona
In Arizona, in Arizona
Ohh, in Arizona
In Arizona, in fuckin' Arizona

Everyday I gotta regulate
Only thing you couldn't do is pray
Remind me of the pussy that I ate
Hit 'em with another power plate
Man, let's face it they don't really listen to the music
They just want to take a trend and they gon' use it
Been a minute since I've heard a lyric
That can move somebody in their feelings
I just started spittin' then I'm killin' it
I love these women I'm a feminist
I'm just talkin', they call me a lyricist
I'ma make it debut album after this
Its the end, but I'm just gettin' started, feel like no finale and I prolly be offense
I'm the one and only, but I swear about a thousand Indonesian kids who come from me

Say goodbye to your baby girl
Say goodbye to your picket fence
You're about to get drafted, drafted
Drafted in the war games
We've been watching down in Panama
Even in the Valentino camouflage
Lookin' like I'm draftin', draftin'
Draftin' in the war games

Yea, I fuckin' love "The Office"
Dude, when I saw the season finale I literally cried
I cried
I've never cried that hard before
Really? Why?
Yeah, 'cause it was so emotional
What happened?
What?
What happened?
Um, Michael Scott fuckin' died
Really?
Yeah
How?
Umm, I think he died from a heart attack
He couldn't like handle the depression of the Office anymore
Oh my God!
Yeah
Were people crying?
Yeah
Damn. I did not know that
Mm hmm
He died?
Yeah
So they killed him off the show?




Yeah, on the last fuckin' episode
Amen

Overall Meaning

In Rich Brian's song "Arizona", the artist reflects on his time in Arizona and how he fell in love but ultimately has to spend his nights alone. This song expresses the loneliness and emptiness Brian feels without his loved one. He talks about how he spends each day and how he feels like he is just waiting for someone to come back to him. The second verse talks about how he is moving through the desert and remembers the trials and tribulations he has gone through.


The song could be interpreted as not just about missing an individual in Brian's life but also on the pressures of fame and success. Being away from loved ones and friends can lead to a feeling of emptiness and longing for the past.

ARIZONA LYRICS

[Intro: AUGUST 08]
Yeah, yeah, da, da, da
Said, ah, ah, ah, no starvin', ahem, yeah

[Verse 1: AUGUST 08]
Hope is gone, is gone, since I've been in Arizona, yeah
I fell in love, in love, since I've been in Arizona
Ooh, when the sun comes through the blinds, I know exactly who to call
Watching the sunset in your eyes but I spend the night alone

[Chorus: AUGUST 08]
Ooh, in Arizona, in Arizona, in Arizona
Ooh, in Arizona, in Arizona, in fucking Arizona

[Verse 2: Rich Brian]
Transporting through the land, searching for the desert sand
World tour, Jodeci, "Diary of a Mad Band"
4 AM, microdose, feelin' like a mad man
Don't want none of that, eyes on the game plan
Pink haze, lemonade, Ma said, โ€œBrian canโ€™t misbehaveโ€
But I feel like Yeezy beamin' out the Milky Way
People try to stop me, but I'm surfing through the waves
I know, not yet in my peak don't need to give a lightshow
People wonderin' where in the fuck is Indo
Starin' at my screen, I need a fuckin' window
Yeah, cold out so I wear a mink coat

Damn, it feel good to be a boss
Eyes wide open like I'm smokin' on the rocks
Never spent bread even though I got alot
Still like to rap even though I sing alot
Money flipper, I'm earnin' burnin' Catalina wine mixer
Workin' out so much, you might just see me in the Sixers
I'm lookin' pretty good, you might just wanna hide your sisters
I put 'em in their feelings, get them listenin' to SZA
Top down, ass up, pussy so good got me doin' backflips
Vivid memories of her on my mattress
Damn it taste good, drink it from the cactus
Zero gravity in the room like NASA
All I hear is heartbeats goin' faster
Mention everything, fuck it it's the last song
Asked you a question, where's the fuckin' answer?

[Chorus: AUGUST 08]
Ooh, in Arizona, in Arizona, in Arizona
Ooh, in Arizona, in Arizona, in fucking Arizona

[Verse 3: Rich Brian]
Everyday I gotta regulate, only thing you couldn't do was pray
Remind me of the pussy that I ate, hit 'em with another power play
Man, letโ€™s face it, they donโ€™t really listen to the music
They just want to take a trend and then go use it
Been a minute since I heard a lyric
That can move somebody and their feelings
I just started spittin' and I'm killin' it
I love these women I'm a feminist
I just talk and they call me a lyricist
I'ma make a debut album after this
It's the end, but I'm just getting started
Feel like the finale and the pilot's being friends
I'm the one and only
But I swear about a thousand Indonesian kids will come with me

[Outro: Rich Brian]
Say goodbye to your baby girl
Say goodbye to your picket fence
You're about to get drafted, drafted
Drafted in the war games
We've been watchin' down in Panama
Within our Valentino camouflage
Lookin' like I'm drafted, drafted
Drafted in the war games
