BEBEY
Theophilus London Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Catching a nice breeze through the day line
Singing in my mind it's the way life goes
Ain't cutting a man slack, I'ma take mine
The love is alright and the grace shall show
Sun down I'll meet you by the sea line
I'll whip it off a dime while you braid my hair
Braid my hair
Baby you on top of me
Fills my heart times three
Flawed in ectasy
Baby you on top of me
Fills my heart times three
Flawed in ectasy
Uh, Summer Theo, run away to Rio
Clear ya mind with a rare vino
You and me though, we could groove again (uh)
Like Tay and Stella, get our groove again
She want a fine grown fella
Something smoove again
Take the top of feeling make me ooze again, uh
Give me your rib, a salad and I'm Gucci
She want me to smoke her and chief like a loosie
Kissing on her neck I got respect for the coochie
Groove to groove me don't groove to lose me
Rhonda, Susie them girls is bougie
Meet me in the lot we bop in my two seat
Two seat I'm on the block like I'm Boosie
Boosie, yeah I'm feeling like a new me
New me, yeah I'm feeling like a new me
New me, yeah I'm feeling like a, uh
Feeling like a, uh, a uh, a new me, uh
Uh, I'm feeling like a new me
I hop on the next flight to Soweto
These two girls they sat right behind my chair
Dear God, I thank you for the double
Bismillah you know jeans Dior
Oh lord she grove to the baseline
And the top line it make her waist line go
It make her waist line go
Baby you on top of me
Fills my heart times three
Flawed in ectasy
Baby you on top of me
Fills my heart times three
I'm flawed in ectasy
Watch how she grooves to the baseline
It make her waistline go
Baby babe gave you all my trust
We paved the way to get all this such
I love you more, do you love me more?
I'm waiting, I'm waiting to get off this tour
Baby babe as we take our hearts
Learn to pray as we make this start
Lonely sins they come out the dark
Love will win, wash them off
Breaking the evening, off
Breaking the evening, off
Breaking the evening, off
(I told you) Breaking the evening, off
(I told you I was gon' f- them up)
You on top of me
Fills my heart times three
Flawed in ectasy
The song BEBEY by Theophilus London is essentially about living in the moment and enjoying life to the fullest. The verses, especially the opening lines, suggest that the singer is carefree and not worried about the future or the past. Instead, he's breaking away from the evening, catching a nice breeze through the day line and singing about life. The chorus, however, reveals a certain level of vulnerability, as though the singer has found someone that he can trust and who makes him feel complete. The lyrics "Baby you on top of me, fills my heart times three, flawed in ecstasy" could be interpreted as being deeply in love with someone and feeling complete yet flawed in their presence.
The second verse talks about the singer taking a break from life and traveling to Rio. He and his lover could enjoy life, groove, and make memories in each other's company. However, the verse also mentions the importance of respecting each other within the relationship, especially when it comes to sexual intimacy. There is also an acknowledgement that the world can be harsh and challenging, but love has the power to wash away these struggles. The chorus repeats after the second verse, highlighting the strong emotional connection between the singer and their partner.
Overall, BEBEY is a song about enjoying the moment and finding love and happiness in the little things. It's about being present and in the moment, while also acknowledging that life can be challenging. The chorus suggests a deep emotional bond with someone, which is the ultimate source of happiness for the singer.
