BOY
The London Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

One two
Boy in the stars (Boy in the stars)
You won't get far (Won't get too far)
How do you dream (How you dream, how you dream, how you dream)
When nothing is real oh (Ohhhhh)
Girl you got me close to the edge
(All of my heart)
I don't wanna ever have to second guess
(Never grow apart)
I sent flowers did they get to your address?
(Kiss like tulips)
Said you'd take away time guess we never know what's next
(Ohh)
And girl if the rain keeps pouring
We should go to Florence
Take a day off girl you know I'm all for it
Catch a holiday
I'm in love with summer break
Girl I love those mornings when the sun is in your face oh oh (Yeah!)
And girl I hope it never ends (Yeah)
Girl I'm planning never make plans (Ohhhh)
I'm just hoping I see you again
Boy in the stars (Boy in the stars)
You won't get far (Won't get too far)
How do you dream (How you dream how you dream how you dream)
When nothing is real (Ohhhh)
Boy in the stars (Boy in the stars)
You won't get far (Won't get too far)
How do you dream (How you dream, how you dream, how you dream)
When nothing is real (Ohhhh)
I love you
You're all that I wanna know now
I got my head in the clouds
Thank you for bringing it down
Girl am I lost in the clouds




I'm singing this lullaby lullaby
And I'm reckless right now

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to The London's "Boy" are a mix of braggadocio, violence, and material wealth. The first verse is all about the rapper's diamond-filled lifestyle, and how he's a "big boy stepper" with "all my steps calculated." He even boasts about being a "burglar and a murderer," daring anyone to try him. The chorus repeats the phrase "big boy diamonds" and describes how the rapper's ice is changing the climate, with someone appreciating the way he's vibing. The next verse is more sexually explicit, with the rapper promising to "beat down your lady vagina" and bragging about his sexual prowess. He also talks about doing drugs and shooting people.


The final verse is a mix of materialistic desires and violent threats, with the rapper claiming to have taught a "lifer a lesson," holding a "scope on the rifle, holdin' it steady," and owning a "Baguette Chopard, it's factory setted." He concludes with a mix of brashness and vulnerability, saying how he's "changing the climate like global warming" and how someone thinks he's charming because of his watch, and the watch even comes with an "army."


Overall, the song seems to be a celebration of wealth and power, with an emphasis on diamonds, guns, and sex. The repeating phrase "big boy diamonds" drives home the theme of conspicuous consumption, and the repeated references to violence suggest that the rapper enjoys a dangerous lifestyle. The sexual lyrics are also present throughout the song, with a focus on the rapper's sexual prowess and objectifying women.
