Initiation
Tory Lanez Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Got me trapped in your love cage
Listen, listen
Your eyes don't glisten, glisten
Like they used to
And this ain't something that I'm used to, no
Uh, I landed in Miami with the top
I got a lil motto, any bitch that you fuck
Make her badder than the last one
I pullin' in a S50, pullin' in a fuckin' S50 shawty
Stuntin' in a S50, stuntin' in a fuckin' S50
Like ooohweee, who's he?
These niggas just talk and if they don't like it, sue me
I'm too deep, I'm too deep
But not with my niggas, wit 2 freaks, yeah
Look I need somebody
So do you want to be somebody, yeaah
I'm tryna see some shawty
That's what you need to do to be down for it, ahh
Initiation, initiation
Initiation, initiation
You wanna get down with a nigga you gotta be patient
Initiation, initiation
I know the way you operate
It's much easier than falling again
I know you won't cooperate
But I know far too much to buckle now
Pullin' up the cameo in Miami
She steppin' out the Maserati eyeing at me
I'm pourin' up, I'm wit a Dirty Diana
Shawty get it poppin', shawty called Keiyanna
Okay, okay
I heard you goin' both ways, you don't say
I know your friends tryin' do it off a gold chain
I went out walkin' and she actin' outta role play
Like oooohweeee, who's he?
These niggas just talk and if they don't like it, sue me
I'm too deep, I'm too deep
But not with my niggas, wit 2 freaks, yeah
Look I need somebody
So do you want to be somebody, yeaah
I'm tryin' see some shawty
That's what you need to do to be down for it, ahh
Initiation, initiation
Initiation, initiation
You wanna get down with a nigga you gotta be patient
Initiation, initiation
I know the way you operate
It's much easier than falling again
I know you won't cooperate
But I know far too much to buckle now
She hopped off the plane and she said her name
I wanna get it, bitch I wanna tame
Baby you know you a piece for the P nigga
One Umbrella mad love it's so hard to compete wit us
Hop in the rari', I head to the streets nigga
I'm all in the trap house, I'm duckin' the Dee's wit her
I work out the work and she workin' for me nigga
She'll do anything for some new Céline
All on the highway, all on the highway
My whip be smokey like it's from Friday
This shit amazing, this feel amazing yeah
Girls in my mouth and I fucked her, we bake and they gone
Holla at a real nigga cause shawty I know you need somebody
I'm not sounding insultin', just sayin', just sayin', just sayin'
Fuck what I'm sayin', just sayin', sayin'
The song "Initiation" by Tory Lanez is about his desire for a woman and how she plays hard-to-get. The lyrics depict his arrival in Miami and his attempt to find a "bad one"; he uses his motto of always finding a girl badder than the last one to pull up in a S50. He then meets a woman who is shown to be reluctant to engage in a relationship. Tory is aware of her intentions and knows that she won't cooperate easily but that doesn't stop him from wanting her. The theme of the song is about the initiation process of getting involved with someone, with the belief that it takes patience and effort to achieve what we most desire.
The first verse of the song paints the picture of how he is trapped in her love cage, and he finds himself in a place where his feelings are more intense than hers. He reminisces about how her eyes don't glisten like they used to, and that troubles him a lot. Tory Lanez then sings about how he needs somebody in his life and how he needs someone to be patient with him. In the second verse, he talks about how he is attracted to a woman who is stepping out of a Maserati and how he is pouring up with a Dirty Diana. He is also aware that some of her friends are attracted to him because of his gold chain, but he is more interested in the woman he's with.
Overall, Initiation is a song about the initiation process of a relationship and how it takes effort, time, and patience to truly get to know someone. Tory Lanez demonstrates his desire for a woman and how he is willing to put in the work to be in a relationship with her.

@eeshakg.6319

@danie2212
Fr🔥💯
@chantejacob10
Facts💯 I wish Tory would do a mixtape tour and preform like his fans’ top 25 songs from all of his mixtapes and underground songs
@Mattedmz
Wish Tory Lanez could go back to this sound now that he's somewhat mainstream.. he's doing fine with his new sound but I would like him to drop these deep, spacey, & melodic songs every now n then!!
@emmanuelorebela6605
I feel the same way,people underestimate how good he is but have never listened to his old shit.
@thequeenofnyc
Hopefully he reinvents his old sound! Hopefully Chixtape 5 can bring that out of him
@ThaPolarBoy
Factz if he went back to this sound he’d be one of the biggest artist in the world. Like bigger then The Weekend
