The Whip Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But they do got a means to an end,
cuz they got juice and they got plenty of lovin'
and a big heap of beautiful friends.
I know some people didn't know that they're born,
They don't know the soles of their feet.
Well you can't fight a war when you got lovin' in store
there on the sunny side of the street.
Everybody get hip to it
Ain't nothin' missin' we got a pot to kiss in
We got karma, we am what we am.
It's up to you because the best that you can do
is the best that you can.
My situation is the fellation nation,
dancing to the brotherly beat,
Well you can't fight a war when you got lovin' in store
there on the sunny side of the street
The Whip's song Fire has some interesting lyrics that are open to interpretation. The first verse speaks of people who may not have much money, but they have "juice" and loving friends. This can be interpreted as people who may not have material wealth but are rich in other areas of their lives. The second line speaks to the means to an end, which implies that these people have a plan or a goal they are working towards, even if it's not material wealth.
The second verse speaks to people who are unaware of their own potential. They don't know the soles of their feet, which could mean that they are not grounded or lack self-awareness. The lyrics suggest that their fight is not with the world, but with themselves. The line "you can't fight a war when you got lovin' in store" suggests that they should focus on love and relationships instead of conflict.
The chorus then says "Let's do the whip, everybody get hip to it", which could mean that the band is encouraging people to dance and let go of their inhibitions. The rest of the chorus speaks to the idea that everyone has their own karma and is what they are. Finally, the last verse speaks to "fellatio nation", which could be a play on words that speaks to the power of sexual expression and release.
Overall, the lyrics of Fire suggest that people need to focus on relationships, love, and expression to find fulfillment in life. This is a common theme in many songs, but the twist on "fellatio nation" makes it unique.
