Good For You
Tennent & Morrison Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

She's a good girl, living with her Tia
See her sipping drink with the Chia
Dream so long like here first name Nia
Put together with the ease, IKEA
I weather out the breeze with the feet up
Open in a small space, what’s a key to a Kia
Gotta work for them things
Get into the Galleria
Ain’t never on Callow/call tho
Til' her time got Freda/freed up
And I ain’t wanna jump for the plan, my fault
Get it if you want; baby, that’s your call
You ain’t ‘bout to run jussa' get involved
You know what I want when timing off
Andele, andele, I see ya
Got Morrison Machiavelli saying Mama Mia
What you feel babygirl, that’s real
All I know is right now
It's alright, alright, alright
Cause' I'll wait for you tonight
It's alright, alright, alright
Cause' I'll wait for you tonight
And even if I never wait, no cargo
We gon’ keep it on raps, that’s a parcel
Other fans wanna scan for the barcode
Try to do me like Stan did Marshall
I weather out the breeze for the feet up
Stalled, last call for the drank on the re-up
Still she ain’t got concern for the word
Both maybe unsure
But I keep that secure
There’s a whole lot told
I ain’t know what you heard
Some nights turned cold
Though froze we mature
We caught up in some things
Though them things do occur
Ima' pick apart proof
What’s truth to the words
Some things seem fly
But they slide for the birds
Keep waves on tide for the urge, yessir
Never choose sides, I keep it on swerve
Never choose sides, I keep it on swerve
And I ain’t never work for the plan, my fault
Get it if you want, baby that’s your call
You ain’t ‘bout to run jussa' get involved
You know what I want when timing off
Andele, andele, I see ya
Got Morrison Machiavelli saying Mama Mia
What you feel babygirl, that’s real
All I know is right now
It's alright, alright, alright
Cause' I'll wait for you tonight
It's alright, alright, alright
Cause' I'll wait for you tonight
It's alright, alright, alright
Cause' I'll wait for you tonight




It's alright, alright, alright
Cause' I'll wait for you tonight

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Tennent & Morrison's song "Good For You" tell the story of a man who is interested in a woman and willing to wait for her. The first verse describes the female protagonist as a "good girl" who is living with her aunt ("Tia"). She is seen sipping a drink with chia seeds and dreaming about her future, which includes putting things together easily (like IKEA furniture). The singer muses about weathering out the breezes of life and getting into the "Galleria" through hard work. He then reveals that the woman he is interested in has "freed up" her time, giving him the opportunity to pursue her without getting in the way of her plans.


In the chorus, the singer repeats that he will wait for the woman, even if he never receives any cargo (i.e., if their relationship does not bring him any material gains). He mentions the importance of keeping things "on the down-low" and the risk of other fans trying to "scan for the barcode," or figure out what is going on between them. The second verse continues the same theme, with the singer expressing a desire to be with the woman but also acknowledging that things may not always be easy. He stresses the importance of keeping things secure and not letting anyone come between them. The chorus is repeated again, with the singer emphasizing that he will wait for the woman no matter what.


Overall, the lyrics of "Good For You" show a man who is patient and willing to work for the woman he loves, despite the challenges that may arise. He sees her as someone special and worth waiting for, even if it means enduring some difficulties along the way.
