Whateva Man
Soshy Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm chillin' with my girls bumpin' the stereo
I stop for a minute at the red light
That's when i see them pull up on my left side
See most of these dudes, man they were hardcore
But you're the type of guy that i could fall for
That's when he said to me
You should be stayin' with me
Let's put it on ice
This could be so right
And you can come to my crib
And hang the whole night
'Cause you been what I've
Been looking for my whole life
Maybe me and you can kick it
Here's my home line
And we can do it again if it goes right
Then you can really find out if i'm "SoShy"
Oh damn i got you open
I'm watchin' you watchin' me and I notice
My body's got your mind out of focus
I know what you're more than willin' and hopin'
Yes, I was your lady
I know this shit is drivin' you crazy
Come on and be a big boy
I don't think you know who you're with boy
Whateva man Girl why is you playin' with me
You should be stayin' with me
Let's put it on ice
This could be so right
And you can come to my crib
And hang the whole night
'Cause you been what I've
Been looking for my whole life
Tell me what you want
And I'LL do what I can
'Cause I'm down by law
So it's whateva then
(So, it's whateva then)
It's whateva then
(Uh huh, it's whateva then)
Is it something that you on
Got the record spinnin'
Till the needles fall off
And we can do it again Whateva man Girl why is you playin' with me
You should be stayin' with me
Let's put it on ice
This could be so right
And you can come to my crib
And hang the whole night
'Cause you been what I've
Been looking for my whole life
In "Whateva Man," SoShy describes a chance encounter with a guy that she is interested in. The lyrics are about the playful flirting between SoShy and this man. She stops at a red light and sees him pull up next to her. She is immediately attracted to him and finds him different from the other hardcore guys she typically encounters. He seems like someone that she could see herself falling for. He says to her, "Whateva man Girl why is you playin' with me, You should be stayin' with me," indicating that he is also interested in her. They exchange numbers, and he invites her to come to his place so they can hang out. SoShy is open to the possibility of a relationship with him and teases him by saying that she doesn't think he knows who he is messing with.
The song expresses a feeling of excitement and new possibilities in love. It's about taking chances and following your heart, staying true to your own values, and not playing games. It's a fun and catchy song with an upbeat melody that captures the excitement and nervousness of a new relationship.

Sound, voice, rhythm and music is as always perfect from SoShy
@soshy
Thanks! I am happy you enjoyed it. I am back with new music soon ! x
@soshy
I just posted a new video :-) Stay strong, safe and at home !!!
@firatbaran8634
I'm really surprised by the number of people following Soshy and listen to her music ! She deserves better than this rate I think.
@soshy
Thank you for the love guys ! :) I know i haven't been posting for a while, I am preparing new music for you. Stay tuned. much LOVE. Soshy
@ExtraCafeTeam
@SoShy Nice to hear that from you. But I gonna say I am shocked as well from the lack of spotlight you're getting to your music. Although it's well known for everybody with intelligence that hip hop is pretty much dead field for real artists, and that there are only few people from the golden era left like Eminem, Dr.Dre, Nas, Tech N9ne, 50 Cent who are still giving it life now and then....
@ExtraCafeTeam
@SoShy P.S. It would be fun to hear you on a song with Snow Tha Product (:
@soshy
ExtraCafeTeam thanks for that dear. Life is about choices. Hip hop is not my field by the way ;) I only served Timbaland on his project. If you listen to my early stuff or the album I released in 2015 or even my recent collaborations in the electronic world, youβll understand my diversity. I never wanted to be number one. I just wanna be number me. And this means doing what I feel, not what I have to do to be in the spotlight. Exemple: Iβm currently creating a concept album in French language because I want to honor it and well, Iβm pretty good at it haha .... to be continued. God bless dear
@carrot2022
@SoShy THIS is what real artists do..tgey don't care about how they xan make their songs in fashion, they make songs about their feelings amd their life and not about their money etc...
That's why I prefer artists like you.
Artists that love what they are doing and they don't make it for money
