Pull a Pharcyde, let you pass me by (uh-uh, uh-uh, uh-uh)
Nothin' like your last guy, he too square for you
He don't smack that ass and pull your hair for you (like that)
So I'm just watchin' (just watchin') and waitin' (and waitin')
For you to salute the true big pimpin'
Not many women can refuse this pimpin' (hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey)
I'm a nice guy, but don't get confused, get pimpin' (everybody get up)

Shake your rump
Get down

Do it like it hurt

Overall Meaning

The song "Blurred Lines" by Robin Thicke featuring TI and Pharrell has stirred up a lot of controversy due to its explicit lyrics and suggestive music video. The song has been criticized for promoting rape culture and objectifying women.


The lyrics suggest that the woman the singer is addressing wants it but is conflicted due to societal pressure to be a "good girl." The lines "Maybe I'm going deaf, maybe I'm going blind, maybe I'm out of my mind" suggest that the singer is questioning his own sanity for wanting to pursue this woman, despite her initial reluctance. The repeated line "I know you want it" adds to the pressure placed on the woman.


The chorus "I hate these blurred lines" could be interpreted as the singer acknowledging that the situation is morally questionable, but ultimately he chooses to pursue the woman anyway.


Overall, the song can be seen as problematic in its portrayal of consent and perpetuating gender stereotypes. It's important to consider the potential influence of these messages on younger audiences who may not have the tools to fully understand and navigate complex dynamics in relationships.
