Roho Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You got to lose yourself, lose yourself
If you wanna shine
I know you wanna shine
You got to lose yourself, lose yourself
You got to lose yourself, lose yourself
If you wanna shine
If you can swim you won't die
Only have one life
My Umi gave me no time
Said I gotta go grind
On my healer-star shit
You can be what you want
All my niggas are calling
To be under the sun
You got to lose yourself, lose yourself
You got to lose yourself, lose yourself
If you wanna shine
I know you wanna shine
You got to lose yourself, lose yourself
You got to lose yourself, lose yourself
If you wanna shine
I know you wanna shine
The opening lines of the chorus in Roho's song "Lose Yourself" suggest that in order to achieve success and to shine, one must lose themselves, perhaps in the sense of losing one's inhibitions or forgetting about self-doubt. The repetition of these lines reinforces the importance of this message. The verses focus on themes of self-motivation and determination, with lyrics such as "only have one life" and "you can be what you want" reflecting a desire to make the most of one's opportunities and to pursue one's dreams.
The line "my Umi gave me no time, said I gotta go grind" can be interpreted as a reference to Roho's mother urging her to work hard and stay focused on her goals. "On my healer-star shit" refers to being on a path of spiritual growth and enlightenment, while "all my niggas are calling to be under the sun" can be seen as a celebration of friendship and community.
