Sammy Johnson feat. Melaniie Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴
tryin your Best to stay alive
(Is that you, is that you)
Whether your up in school
actin up like a Fool
cause you don't want to be there
(Is that you)
Whether your work in a skyscraper
(Is that you, is that you)
Whether you drink all day waiting
For your next pay so you can do it all again
(Is that you)
Pre-You see I learned a little about love
and its all about what you can give
I said I learned a little about love
and It's all about what you can give
Lets work in the same boat together
So lets make it better for you and me
Cause we're in the same boat together
So lets make it better for you and me
Won't you help me say
Oh woah woah x3
Sayin wa yo yo yo
Hey yeah yeah you see we only got this life
So why we steady busy wastin it
(Is that you, is that you)
But two can sun with A(?)
And we'll try to play the game
When we don't even know the rules
(Is that you)
We're so quick to judge
We don't even know it all
(Is that you, is that you)
Instead lets leaned a hand for our fellow Man
because that is the bigger plan
(Is that you)
Pre-
The lyrics to Sammy Johnson feat. Melaniie's song "Same Boat" speaks about unity and the need to work together to make things better in life. The song starts with a simple observation that everyone, regardless of their station in life, is simply trying to survive. This is evidenced in the line “there you work all 9 to 5 trying your Best to stay alive.” It seems to ask the listener, “Is that you?” and goes on to give examples of different people in different situations who are essentially doing the same thing - trying to get by.
The memorable and hook-y chorus of the song is where the main message of the song is driven through. The line “I learned a little about love, and it's all about what you can give” is a powerful one, as it turns the common perspective of love as what you can get upside down. The song then invites everyone to work together in the same boat to make things better for everyone because essentially, we are all in the same boat, our struggles are different but we are all trying to survive.
Overall, the message and theme of the song are positive and inspirational. They encourage working together, being kind, and making the most of life. The gentle and bouncy melody of the music adds to the uplifting message of the song.

Verse 1:
Whether you work a 9 to 5
Trying your best to stay alive (Is that you, is that you)
Whether your up in school actin up like a fool
Cause you don't want to be there (Is that you)
Whether you work in a skyscraper with all
The money in the world (Is that you, is that you)
Whether you drink all day waiting
For your next pay so you can do it all again (Is that you)
Pre-Chorus:
You see I learned a bit about love
and its all about what you can give
I said I learned a little bit about love and
It's all about what you can give
Lets work in the same boat together
Chorus:
So lets make it better for you (For you & me)
Cause we're in the same boat together
So lets make it better for you (& me)
Won't you help me say
Oh woah woah x3
