Swae Lee Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Metro on the beat, Metro on the beat
If Young Metro don't trust you, I'm gon' shoot you
You know I change with the seasons (yeah I change, change)
The same way I'm coming bitch I'm leaving (yeah I'm out)
And when I'm gone you won't see me (gone)
Unless you give me a reason
V12, I got a need for speed
Only time I'm slowing down is in between her knees
Might tell her ass to leave when I need to breathe
Lil Metro on the beat, push the keys with ease
I flew out every airport, of course God is my source
When you do the numbers it gets taxing of course
Somehow I just kept it twenty-five times four
Kill the shows, kill the pussy, they both want an encore
Like go Don, go
Gave everybody 'round me jobs
Fuck a job corps, bitch we on the top floor
Working like we still tryna get it off the ground though
And if you not contributing bitch then fuck you 'round for?
And if I split these blessings with you you my brother
If I don't text you back then I don't trust you
If I pick up on the first brrt I love you
And if I tell you all my secrets you my lover, yeah yeah
You know I change with the seasons (yeah I change, change)
The same way I'm coming bitch I'm leaving (yeah I'm out)
And when I'm gone you won't see me (gone)
Unless you give me a reason
You know I move with the seasons
The same way I'm coming bitch I'm leaving (yeah I'm leavin')
And when I'm gone you won't see me (you won't see me)
Unless you give me a reason
Yo them girls don't need me
I learned them girls don't need me
Girls don't need me
So why do they always hate to leave me?
Remove my pants, I won't be needing these
Pretty girl gon' tell me pretty please
I change like the season
My old girls, I really don't see them
I think these boys don't like me, want to fight me
But they don't talk to my face like they do on IG
I guess it bring the best out of me when they doubt me (for sure)
Fucked up how my mind be, maybe the mayhem calm me
Bring competition 'round me, eat 'em alive like zombies
I think I got insomnia, up all night to the morning
Turn my phone off 'cause I got a higher calling
And for the gold medal I keep my foot on the pedal
Keep my girls on rose petals, keep runnin' into the devil
Beat his ass every time, next time I'ma bring a shovel
To put his ass in the dirt and then laugh 'til it hurt
And I'm in rare form like Jordan airborne
I'm here there and gone, lowkey it's baritone
She love my pheromones, I'm 'bout to take this trip
And I can hold your hand instead of this carry-on, gone
You know I change with the seasons (yeah I change, change)
The same way I'm coming bitch I'm leaving (I'm out, yeah I'm out)
And when I'm gone you won't see me (bye, gone)
Unless you give me a reason
You know I move with the seasons
The same way I'm coming bitch I'm leaving (I'm out)
And when I'm gone you won't see me (you won't see me)
Unless you give me a reason
The lyrics to Swae Lee's song "Reason" touch on themes of change, movement, and the need for validation. Swae Lee expresses his tendency to change with the seasons, symbolizing the changes he goes through personally and emotionally. He asserts that he enters and exits situations on his own terms and that unless someone gives him a reason to stay or be present, he will not be around. This can be interpreted as a sense of independence and self-preservation.
The lyrics also delve into Swae Lee's desires and experiences. He references his need for speed, which can be interpreted both literally and metaphorically. On one hand, it could refer to his love for fast cars and adrenaline-inducing experiences. On the other hand, it could allude to his fast-paced lifestyle and pursuit of success. He also mentions his interactions with women, suggesting a certain level of detachment and non-commitment.
Additionally, Swae Lee addresses the dynamics of friendship and trust. He emphasizes the importance of loyalty and people who contribute positively to his life. He values transparency and expresses that if he doesn't respond to someone's communication immediately, it signifies a lack of trust. However, he also recognizes the importance of meaningful connections and reveals that he is willing to share his secrets and blessings with those he considers his brother or his lover.
Overall, "Reason" explores themes of change, autonomy, personal desires, and the significance of genuine connections in Swae Lee's life.

Yo Pi'erre, you wanna come up here?
Hey Pi'erre, do you want to join me here?
Metro on the beat, Metro on the beat
Metro is producing the music for this song
If Young Metro don't trust you, I'm gon' shoot you
If Young Metro doesn't trust you, I don't want anything to do with you
You know I change with the seasons (yeah I change, change)
I adapt and change just like the seasons do
The same way I'm coming bitch I'm leaving (yeah I'm out)
I enter a situation with the same energy I leave it, quickly and abruptly
And when I'm gone you won't see me (gone)
Once I'm gone, you won't find me around anymore
Unless you give me a reason
Unless you provide me with a valid justification or motive
V12, I got a need for speed
I have a strong desire to go fast, like a car with a V12 engine
Only time I'm slowing down is in between her knees
The only time I take a break or slow down is when I'm with a woman intimately
Might tell her ass to leave when I need to breathe
I might ask her to leave when I require some personal space
Lil Metro on the beat, push the keys with ease
Metro, the producer, effortlessly handles the musical composition
I flew out every airport, of course God is my source
I've traveled to many places, and I believe that God provides for me
When you do the numbers it gets taxing of course
As you achieve success and make more money, it becomes burdensome due to taxes
Somehow I just kept it twenty-five times four
I managed to maintain my success and stay consistent (25 multiplied by 4 = 100)
Kill the shows, kill the pussy, they both want an encore
I excel in performing live shows and in satisfying women sexually, and they always want more
Like go Don, go
Encouraging myself to continue with my success and ambitions
Gave everybody 'round me jobs
I provided employment opportunities to those around me
Fuck a job corps, bitch we on the top floor
We don't need a formal training program, we're already at the highest level
Working like we still tryna get it off the ground though
We're putting in effort as if we're still trying to achieve initial success
And if you not contributing bitch then fuck you 'round for?
If you're not contributing anything valuable, then there's no point in having you around
And if I split these blessings with you you my brother
If I share my fortunate circumstances with you, it means we have a close bond
If I don't text you back then I don't trust you
If I don't respond to your messages, it's because I don't have faith in you
If I pick up on the first brrt I love you
If I answer your call immediately, it signifies that I care for you deeply
And if I tell you all my secrets you my lover, yeah yeah
If I share my intimate secrets with you, it means we have a romantic connection
Yo them girls don't need me
Those girls don't rely on me for their happiness or well-being
I learned them girls don't need me
I've realized that those girls can thrive without me
Girls don't need me
Women don't require my presence or support
So why do they always hate to leave me?
If they don't need me, why do they struggle to say goodbye?
Remove my pants, I won't be needing these
I'm indicating that I don't need my pants because I'm not planning on staying long
Pretty girl gon' tell me pretty please
An attractive girl will beg me with flattering words
I change like the season
My demeanor and behavior fluctuate just like the changing seasons
My old girls, I really don't see them
I no longer have contact or spend time with my previous romantic partners
I think these boys don't like me, want to fight me
I believe these guys hold animosity towards me and desire to confront me physically
But they don't talk to my face like they do on IG
They express their negative feelings towards me on social media, but won't confront me directly
I guess it bring the best out of me when they doubt me (for sure)
When others doubt my abilities, it motivates me to prove them wrong and excel
Fucked up how my mind be, maybe the mayhem calm me
It's unfortunate how my mind functions, and perhaps chaotic situations help me find peace
Bring competition 'round me, eat 'em alive like zombies
When I have competitors nearby, I surpass them easily and without mercy
I think I got insomnia, up all night to the morning
I believe I suffer from insomnia, staying awake all night until morning
Turn my phone off 'cause I got a higher calling
I disconnect from distractions because I have a greater purpose or mission
And for the gold medal I keep my foot on the pedal
In pursuit of success, I remain determined and focused
Keep my girls on rose petals, keep runnin' into the devil
I treat the women I'm involved with in a lavish and romantic manner, but frequently encounter obstacles
Beat his ass every time, next time I'ma bring a shovel
I always defeat the devil, and next time I'll come even more prepared to eradicate him
To put his ass in the dirt and then laugh 'til it hurt
I want to completely defeat the devil and find immense joy in doing so
And I'm in rare form like Jordan airborne
I'm currently performing exceptionally well, just like Michael Jordan in his prime
I'm here there and gone, lowkey it's baritone
I appear, disappear, and move around discreetly, like a deep and resonant voice
She love my pheromones, I'm 'bout to take this trip
She is drawn to my natural scent, and I'm about to embark on a journey
And I can hold your hand instead of this carry-on, gone
Instead of carrying around luggage, I can hold your hand as we escape
Unless you give me a reason
Unless you provide me with a valid justification or motive
You know I move with the seasons
Just like how the seasons change, I adapt and transform
The same way I'm coming bitch I'm leaving (yeah I'm leavin')
I enter situations with the same energy I leave them, quickly and suddenly
And when I'm gone you won't see me (you won't see me)
Once I'm gone, I won't be visible or present anymore
Unless you give me a reason
Unless you provide me with a valid justification or motive
