Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
This one's for the money give it everything I got
Just a little? No, a lot
Just a little? No, a lot
Just a little? No, a lot
Just a little? No, a lot, yeah
Shit just keep on goin' ain't no tellin' when it stops
Just a little? No, a lot
Just a little? No, a lot
Just a little? No, a lot
Just a little? No, a lot, yeah
I'm not of this world I got the juice like I'm in Space Jam
Cooped up in the studio I feel like I'm a caveman
I know I'm a star they tried to treat me like a stage hand
Tryna summon Joven girl you gotta do a rain dance
Just a little? No a lot, hit the floor and make it pop
Since the lights already flashin' get behind her like a cop
Writing on the wall it's time to take it up a notch
Yeah the ball was in my court so I just had to take the shot, shot
Sometimes she call me Joven and sometimes she calls me Ricky (call me what?)
Pretty Ricky, I'm a hot boy in my city
Say she wanna snap a photo that shit rare like a Da Vinci
So surprised when we was finished she I ain't think I had it in me (ugh, yeah)
In a Tesla (in a Tesla) in a Civic (in a Civic)
I'ma get it, I'ma get it
Turn it up, (yeah, what) triple digits
Add a digit, (yeah, what) then add a digit
Ask me where I'm goin' I point up like 12 o' clock
This one's for the money give it everything I got
Just a little? No, a lot
Just a little? No, a lot
Just a little? No, a lot
Just a little? No, a lot, yeah
Shit just keep on goin' ain't no tellin' when it stops
Sometimes I feel like Biggie and sometimes I feel like Pac
Just a little? No, a lot
Just a little? No, a lot
Just a little? No, a lot
Just a little? No, a lot, yeah
Your shit is whatever and my shit is holographic
I want a Rollie, yeah, I want a Patek
You're on my old wave yeah you can have it
You can have it, yeah yeah
You can have it
Joven
The Julians's song "Clock" tells a story of ambition and determination towards achieving success in life. The song starts with the singer responding to someone who asks them where they are going. The singer points up like 12 o'clock, signifying that they are aiming for the top. The line "This one's for the money give it everything I got" suggests that the singer is willing to put in all their effort to attain monetary success. The repeated refrain of "Just a little? No, a lot" emphasizes the singer's desire for more than what life has given them and their focus on achieving more.
The next verse shows the singer's belief in their potential for greatness. They believe that they are not of this world and that they have the juice like they are in Space Jam, referring to the 1996 film about basketball players traveling to another world to win a game. The line "tryna summon Joven girl you gotta do a rain dance" implies that the singer is seeking the girl's attention, and she has to work hard to get it.
The song then switches to the perspective of the girl, who calls the singer Joven or Ricky. She likes taking photos with him because it is rare like a Da Vinci painting. The lines "In a Tesla (in a Tesla) in a Civic (in a Civic)/ I'ma get it, I'ma get it/ Turn it up, (yeah, what) triple digits/ Add a digit, (yeah, what) then add a digit" suggest the singer's attitude towards success, that they are not just going to achieve it but go beyond it too.
Overall, the song's message seems to be one of ambition and determination towards success, with a focus on the singer's desire for more, along with their confidence in their own abilities.
