Think About It
Syntifik (featuring Jr. Ro) Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Why would I express my feelings when if we broke up you wouldn't think twice about it
Why would I care about yo ex if I'm the one that already got it
Why would I play you if I got played all my life, that's why I don't really talk about it
I know I talk about love too much but honestly I don't care about it
Why would I express my feelings when if we broke up you wouldn't think twice about it
Why would I care about yo ex if I'm the one that already got it
Why would I play you if I got played all my life, that's why I don't really talk about it
Love so deep, got played every time
I remember when you used to be mine
We stayed up on the phone every night
I know Love is a crime
If I got paid every time they loved me I'd only have a dime
I remember when I was happy and shine
Now my heart cold and it's sour like lime
Why would I say I love if I didn't mean it
Now I know you're trippin
People be asking me why are you simping
Cuz if you had love like me you'd probably go missing
I don't get why people be thinking if you love someone then your trippin
They don't understand you (No)
They don't understand you (So)
They try to play you (Oh)
This is for real getting old
I said I don't like all this expressing
Then after that call she said she lost her feelings
I know I talk about love too much but honestly I don't care about it
Why would I express my feelings when if we broke up you wouldn't think twice about it
Why would I care about yo ex if I'm the one that already got it
Why would I play you if I got played all my life, that's why I don't really talk about it
I know I talk about love too much but honestly I don't care about it
Why would I express my feelings when if we broke up you wouldn't think twice about it
Why would I care about yo ex if I'm the one that already got it
Why would I play you if I got played all my life, that's why I don't really talk about it
You broke my heart (Aye)
You broke my heart (Aye)
You broke my heart (Aye)

The lyrics to "Think About It" by Syntifik (featuring Jr. Ro) are an ode to country music and its roots in Southern American culture. The song's opening verse talks about a return to the singer's childhood home on his granddad's land. He's hoping to find the family ties that bind and reconnect with his mother as they remember their past. They're on a quest to travel down the lost highway, guided by the lights of Montgomery town. The lyrics set the stage for a nostalgic trip through traditional American country music that pays homage to some of its legendary icons like Waylon, Merle, Johnny, and Jim. The singer believes it's about time to return to a more authentic style that embraces Southern rock to the bone and musky vine wine.
The chorus reinforces this idea, emphasizing that it's 1976 (unfortunately, there's a mistake here, as some lyrics websites note that it should be 1975), and it's about time for some good old-fashioned country music. The pop country sound we've heard in recent years is weird, and it's time to get back to country's roots. The singer acknowledges his share of crying, indicating that country music can strike at the heartstrings and inspire a range of emotions. In the final line, he pulls a Bobby Mercer, a reference to a Yankee baseball legend, but it's unclear what he means by that.

I’m going back where I made tracks
I am returning to a place I have been before
In my boyhood days on gran-daddy’s land
As a child, I spent time on my grandfather's land
The family ties that bind
The strong connections between family members
Hope I can still find
I hope to rediscover
My mother joins in the red playback sand
My mother accompanies me and we reminisce about the past
The next stop on my quest
The next destination on my journey
Place I still love the best
The place I love the most
Alabama river bank now I see the lights
I can see the city lights on the river bank in Alabama
Although Montgomery town
Despite being in the town of Montgomery
Let’s put the hammer down
Let's move quickly
We going down the lost highway tonight, yeah
We are taking an adventurous and unknown path tonight
It’s about time for some country songs
It is long overdue for some true country music
It’s about time to play some southern rock to the bone
We need to hear the raw and authentic southern rock music
Cause we’ve had enough of this weird pop country sound
We are tired of the artificial and manufactured pop country music
On my guitar, brothers and sisters come, and gather around
I invite fellow music lovers to come and enjoy the music with me
A country state of mind
A mindset that values and embraces country living
We’ll pass a little musky vine wine
We will enjoy and share some good wine
Yeah I’m telling you it’s about time (time, it’s about time)
I am emphasizing the importance of going back to real country music
I watched Waylon and Merle
I have followed the music of Waylon Jennings and Merle Haggard
They were the kings of the world
They were highly respected and admired in the music world
Far as I was concerned, and then he changed
In my opinion, their music was perfect until something different happened
Thanks to Jerry Lee
Jerry Lee Lewis deserves credit for changing the music scene
Johnny and Jim, Hank and Miss Audrey
Other famous country artists who have influenced my taste in music
Hey, I’ve done my share of crying
I have experienced the deep emotions conveyed in country music
It’s about time for some country songs
I am reiterating the importance of returning to true country music
It’s about time to play some southern rock all night long
We need to hear southern rock music all night long
It’s 1976 in the mind
The mind is reliving a moment in 1976
Hey I’m telling you it’s about time (time, it’s about time)
I am once again stressing the importance of going back to real country music
I pulled a Bobby Mercer on that mother
I did something impressive or unexpected, perhaps as baseball player Bobby Mercer would do
