Something Foreign
ScHoolboy Q Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It will burn soon
Casually, gradually
Defining gravity as I let go, no
Wires, I'm flying
Magic, right?
Pull her hair, and I grab her right?
Never thought I could have it all
Look, moving trough this movie like my life is studious to live unruly (you)
You should have never introduced me to the
Beauty and the darker side of heaven's view (view)
Gucci fit her booty very well
Hopefully she never kiss and tell
Hopefully we never see the sun
Don't try keep it up, I'm on the run
Try to keep it humble in a world full of egos, gangsters and evils
Player in the game but I'm making my own rules
And I'm pulling up in something foreign (foreign)
Yea, I'm pulling up in something foreign (foreign)
I pulled this out for you, my newest coop
Grip the horse, I'll take you 'round the loop
Close your eyes, your heart available
Land on earth, and cruise through Malibu
Gave you time, now give your drawers the boot
Rub the skins, I found that heaven's true
Melt the sun and keep the moon alive
Dry the winds, and moist behind the five
Can't pretend the greatest sin alive
Stroke, you come and go beyond the fake
Take you down, the frown go up your face
Arch your back and bend it back in place
Fuck you good, I'll fuck you good, I know
Snap your book to know where else to go
Foreign place, a foreign whip to drive
Failed at life, then failing you, now I'm (I'm)
Try to keep it humble in a world full of egos, gangsters and evils
Player in the game but I'm making my own rules
And I'm pulling up in something foreign (foreign)
Yea, I'm pulling up in something foreign (foreign)

The first verse describes a feeling of being untethered, both physically and emotionally. The singer compares themselves to fire and gasoline, suggesting their passion is intense and unpredictable. They then describe themselves as "flying" without wires, suggesting a sense of freedom and danger. The following lines suggest a sexual encounter with a mysterious woman, emphasizing the singer's pleasure-seeking attitude.
The second verse continues the theme of living outside the lines. The singer suggests they are making their own rules in a world full of egos and gangsters. They then emphasize their status as a player, but one who is unconcerned with the opinions of others. The chorus repeats the line "I'm pulling up in something foreign," emphasizing the singer's lifestyle of excess and luxury. The final verse returns to the theme of sexual desire, suggesting the singer is willing to take risks to pursue their pleasure.

This that fire, pass a light
It'll burn slow
Casually, gradually
Defying gravity as I let go
No wires, I'm flying

Then again I never really had it right
I'm moving through this movie like my life's duty is to live unruly you
Shoulda never introduced me to the beauty in the darker side of heaven's view
Coogi fit her booty very well
Hopefully she never kiss and tell
Hopefully we never see the sun
Don't try keepin' up, I'm on the run
Tryna keep it humble in a world full of egos, gangsters and evils
Player in the game but I'm making my own rules
And I'm pulling up in something foreign, foreign
Yea, I'm pulling up in something foreign, foreign
