Go Go GoRoy WoodsSecond track titled, "Go Go Go" off his Exis- EP

Woah, woah, woah
Woah, woah, woah
Woah, woah, woah, woah
Woah, woah, woah, woah
Woah, woah, woah, woah
Woah, woah, woah, woah
Woah, woah, woah, woah
Woah, woah, woah, woah

I see how you change at night, nothing like you're basement lies
Chevrolet trip half an hour ride, take a nigga back to the Southside
I'm giving it all to you, making it raw baby, raw as my heart
Feel the pain as it thumps
I feel used on my chest, it ain't nothing at all
Cause I'm here for you, I'm making love to you
You're letting it all go, go, go, go
I'm here for you, I'm making love to you

You're letting it all go, go, go go
Let you're pain go, go, go, go
I let my pain go, go, go go
Let your pain go, go, go go
I let my pain go, go, go, go
Let your pain go, go, go go
I let my pain go, go, go, go
Let your pain go, go, go go

I need what I never had, you thought you had a spot
So show me what it is right now, girl yeah
Cause I been in the Lost and Found
And you are the only thing inside
Brand new heart is why I'm at the bonfire
Pick and choose what you need and who you want, girl I'm there
You can call on me when you know there's no one else
You got away, bet I'm down for the moment, shit
You the real shit, hold me down for a fucking spliff
Whenever I'm stressed (Whenever I'm stressed)
You hold me down the best
I see how you change at night
Nothing like your basement lies
Chevrolet trip half an hour ride
And take a nigga back to the Southside

You're letting it all go, go, go, go
Let you're pain go, go, go, go
I let my pain go, go, go go
Let your pain go, go, go go
I let my pain go, go, go, go
Let your pain go, go, go go




I let my pain go, go, go, go
Let your pain go, go, go go

Overall Meaning

The song "Go Go Go" by Roy Woods is a haunting reflection on emotional pain and the act of letting go. The song begins with the repeated phrase "woah, woah, woah" which sets a melancholic tone, suggesting that the singer is in a state of emotional distress. The use of repetition is a common technique in music, and in this case, it's used to emphasize the emotional weight of the lyrics.


Through the song, Roy describes how he sees and feels the change in his partner at night, noting that there is a difference between what they say in the daylight and how they act in the dark. The use of the phrase "basement lies" suggests that there is something dark and hidden in their relationship. Roy then goes on to describe how he is giving everything to his partner and how he feels raw from the experience of loving her. The lyrics "feel the pain as it thumps, I feel used on my chest, it ain't nothing at all" suggest that he is willing to endure the pain of loving someone who may not love him back. Despite this, he would rather be with her and offer her everything he has.


The chorus of the song repeats the phrase "let it all go," which suggests that Roy is hoping his partner will open up to him and let go of the pain that she is carrying. The lyrics "let your pain go, go, go, go, I let my pain go, go, go, go" suggest that Roy is willing to release his own pain to help his partner. Overall, the song is a plea for emotional openness and honesty, and the willingness to let go of pain to find a better future together.
