Dry Your Eyes
The Rev-Lons Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Verse 1 (Tef-Lon)
All it took was 1 glance
I can read your style by your stance

Thought I'd make my way and advance
But my only advance is my checks

Not a captain but I'll swab ya deck
And yes, I'm so fresh and so clean
Zest..

Call me a outkast
Ill definitely outlast
Them other cats game is lame
They comcast

I'm direct TV
Life n HD
Mac n 3d
Ez to see

Pop king like MJ
Come rock with me
Tick tick with me
And hit the top with me

Move like a cheetah/cheater
Come hit the spot with me
I can take u on a dot
Wanna clock with me

So grab my hand while I'm movin
Cuz u know how I do it
It's either move it or lose it





Verse 2 (Tef-Lon)
Mad cuz I walked off
Went out with a bang
Like a sawed off

I'm too much flame
Spark off
But got game like ya lighter
All fire

Got space ship brain
Ima flight up
Spark up the conversation
that ignite us

All work n no play
Leave u all tied up
Top of Mandalay bay
Where we gone ly up

Getin massaged like it's a marage
Over lookin that pyramid
And the mirage

Foreign cars pullin out the garage
Livin is large
HMIC
Head Man In Charge

And we doin it
No need to ruin it
Lookin like Stella
I'm the one u should be grooving with

How it is when u roll with the best




I'm like the black Bruce Wayne
But u can call me Tef.. yes

Overall Meaning

He begins by noting how he can easily read someone's style by their stance and how he thought he would advance but instead is just receiving checks.

Tef-Lon then goes on to note how he will "move like a cheetah" and take someone on a date, encouraging them to "grab [his] hand" and move with him, or they will lose out.


In the second verse, Tef-Lon boasts about going out with a bang and being too much flame, with a game like a lighter. He refers to his "space ship brain" and speaks about lighting up a conversation that will ignite them. He notes how he is living luxuriously on the top of Mandalay Bay, overlooking the pyramid and the mirage, with foreign cars in his garage. Tef-Lon ends by claiming himself to be the head man in charge (HMIC), comparing himself to the black Bruce Wayne.
