On My Mind
Swoope feat. J.R. Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But I don’t wanna be that
I wanna be her first man
The one who’s holdin’ her hand
Through the good and the bad
We put our feet in the sand
Yeah, just kick back, relax
In the back park, pick her up
When I’m not with her, I miss her
She’s my lovin’ dust mixture
Yeah my permanent fixture
A picture perfect
I sit up and study her face like prisms
With the brown eyes and little
Nose bulbous in the middle
A bad brunette with the get up of a nice girl
I twirl her ‘round when we dance
And she laughs when I tell her that her beauty’s unmatched
But the match is lit in my heart
I get butterflies in my stomach
Rise to my chest
I’m tryna impress
Her with a rhyme, but I haven’t yet
Baby girl, why do you like to play with me?
I want to know if you’d like to stay with me and hug
Embrace with a touch, and we can lay snug
Baby girl, why do you like to play with me?
I want to know if you’d like to stay with me and run
Hop in a whip, and we can take off
Baby girl, why do you like to play with me?
I want to know if you’d like to stay with me and bump
Listen to music, and we can make love
I got you on my mind
And baby girl, you’re shinin’
Like the lights so bright
I got you in my eyes, and now I’m blind
When she gets in my mind, but she’s outta sight
It drives me crazy, so I must write
Some love poems or ride a tight
Beat for a love song
See if she’d go along with a love letter for the letter L
Tell her what I felt and thought about her
See if I got the willin’ power
To make it to her room and not just coward out
Gotta tell her what I feel right now
Tomorrow’s never promised, and I might shout if I don’t
Got a frog in my throat, gotta let it croak
Gone is my appetite, my whole stomach shrank
Gotta sip a drank to ease my pain and calm my nerves
I’ve got the courage when it comes to a girl that I like so much
I love this feelin’, adrenaline rush
I said I love this feelin’, it’s Cupid’s touch
Baby girl, why do you like to play with me?
I want to know if you’d like to stay with me and hug
Embrace with a touch, and we can lay snug
Baby girl, why do you like to play with me?
I want to know if you’d like to stay with me and run
Hop in a whip, and we can take off
Baby girl, why do you like to play with me?
I want to know if you’d like to stay with me and bump
Listen to music, and we can make love
Yeah, listen to music, and we can make love

Saving all my money all week long
I've been saving my money all week so that I can take you out for a nice night
So I can go out driving with you
I want to go on a drive with you
Down on Hollywood Boulevard
Let's drive down Hollywood Boulevard
On Friday night, dressed right
Let's go out on a Friday night, dressed up nicely
I don't take no trouble smoke at the wall
I don't cause any trouble, just like to hang out
But I still have that leopard-skin hat
I still have the leopard-skin hat you gave me
That you gave me way back
You gave me the hat a long time ago
Before it was cool
Before it became popular
And they took it to school
People showed it off at school
Here in the ghetto
In my mind, I feel like I'm in the ghetto
The ghetto of my mind
I feel like I live in a mental ghetto
why aqui, the ghetto
I ask myself, 'why do I feel this way?'
Hey we wild it up, wild it up
Let's party and have fun
I like to dance with my rooner
I enjoy dancing with my partner
'cause when we dance I feel like
When we dance, I feel like we are meant to be together
We are who we've meant to be
I feel like we are true to ourselves when we dance
He puts his arms around me
My partner holds me close
I put my arms around him
I hold him close too
And I feel satisfied and free
I feel content and free when I'm with my partner
One night I tried my bandanna around his wrists
I wrapped my bandanna around his wrists one night
And we started to sway and it felt so good
We began to move to the music and it felt great
And he said "looky here mamma, looky here
He said, 'check this out'
I think I better just see you
I think it's best if I make sure you get home safe
Safely out of the neighborhood"
I want to make sure you are safe before I go
That is to say
In other words
Outside my window the noise is all I've got
All I can hear outside my window is the noise of the streets
There are no stars in the sky
I can't see any stars in the sky
Just the sirens and queens
All I can hear are sirens and people shouting
Breaking glass down in the parking lot
I can hear the sound of glass breaking in the parking lot
That's the world where I live
This is the world I exist in
Sometimes I wonder, oh how can I go on?
At times, I wonder how I can carry on living in this world
But I know that the world you make inside your head
I know that the world we create in our minds can be our reality
That's the one you see around, that's what I said
We see the world we imagine, just as I said before
And the one you see
The one you choose to see
Is the one you make
Becomes your reality
Inside of the ghetto
In my mind, I feel like I'm in the ghetto
The ghetto of your mind
I feel like I live in a mental ghetto
Hey we wild it up, wild it up
Let's party and have fun

I respect you as a Christian. I am saying not for argument sake but from a different point of view that I thought you should think of. Light blends in with darkness. The world for example. Plenty of unholy individuals and hey I'm happy, Christian, and sane. In the dark when you turn on light you see. This song might of been another song but different lyrics. It speaks about Jesus and has a great message that's all I care about. GOD BLESS
