What's in Your Heart
Swae Lee Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Baby, don't tell me no lie
I don't have time for this
Drinkin' this, pourin' your soul out
What's in this cup for real? (For real?)
What's in this cup for real
Was this chick for real? (For real?)
What's in your heart, for real? (For real?)
What's in your heart, for real? (For real?)
What's in your heart, for real?
What's in your heart, for real? (What's in your heart for real?)
I'm gonna pass this time
I wouldn't want you to find me (find)
I left the house last night
'Cause there was too many vibes (too many vibes)
Drivin' me while she wild, I cannot steer (cannot steer)
Baby wanna come be near (be near)
Drivin' me while I cannot steer (cannot steer)
Baby wanna come near
But my eyes criss and cross and I'm already gone
And it's not hard to see (to see)
Plus that over-the-counter was put to good use
Yeah, that's just what I did
I could tell she ready when she came up out her shirt
And she laid up on me
Do what you feel and I feel what you say
And I see what you mean
What's in this cup for real?
What's in this cup for real
Was this chick for real?
Was this bitch for real?
What's in your heart, for real?
What's in your heart, for real?
What's in your heart, for real?
What's in your heart, for real?
I already told you, you already froze up
I am really frozen
I already told you, I already rolled up
What's in your heart for real?
What's in your heart for real?
What's in your heart for real?
What's in your heart for real?
What's in these drinks I spilled?
Baby, don't tell me no lie
I don't have time for this
Drinkin' this, pourin' your soul out
What's in these drinks I spilled?
Baby, don't tell me no lie
I don't have time for this
Drinkin' this, pourin' your soul out
The lyrics of Swae Lee's song "What's in Your Heart" delve into themes of substance abuse, confusion, and emotional transparency. The opening lines refer to spilled drinks, possibly indicating a party or a night out that ended in a blur. The singer begs for honesty from an unnamed person, implying that the person may be hiding something from them. The lines "Drinkin' this, pourin' your soul out" suggest that the singer may be drinking to numb their emotional pain and trying to get the other person to open up about their own emotions.
The chorus of the song revolves around the repeated question, "What's in your heart, for real?" The singer seems to be trying to glean some sense of honesty and authenticity from the other person, possibly because they feel that they are not getting the whole truth. The lines "Was this chick for real?" and "Was this bitch for real?" could also refer to the singer's own confusion or inability to understand the other person's motives or intentions.
The second verse introduces the idea that the singer is trying to escape from something or someone, unable to drive straight due to overwhelming emotions. The lines "But my eyes criss and cross and I'm already gone" suggest a state of drunkenness or confusion. Swae Lee also refers to an over-the-counter medication that he used, perhaps to self-medicate or numb his emotions. The bridge of the song repeats the question "What's in your heart for real?" several times, perhaps as a way of trying to elicit an answer or as a plea for honesty.
