Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Oh
Yeah, I like that, I like that
Yeah, kids sing
We will understand if they don't (louder)
We don't want they bullshit no more (yeah, louder)
We will understand if they don't (yeah, yeah)
Alright, alright
You take too many martinis
she slip straight out bikini (straight up)
She let me grand slam outside the Denny's (straight up)
How we gone get Oscar proud if they pay us pennies? (La Flame)
I'ma need my dollars now, stack it 'til they envy
You feel me? (Skrr!)
The kids they need that
I get that feedback, sit back, relax (that dope)
I'm on that relapse
Yo' ass gone die if you blow my high
I been over Coastin' just was beatin' in my Lotus (straight up)
All that loud talk like your dope we never notice (La Flame)
You ain't feelin' it, nigga, 'cause you sober (straight up)
I'm ballin' in the game with players, you behind the coaches
Come take a trip on my lair by the Third Coast
Come floatin'
La di, da, di, da, di, all the kids shout at the party (and the kids sing)
We will understand if they don't (yeah, yeah)
We don't want they bullshit no more (yeah I like that, I like that, yeah, kids sing)
We will understand if they don't (yeah, louder. yeah)
We don't want they bullshit no more (yeah, louder, yeah)
You know, when I was fourteen
I wanted to do a lot of kick ass shit
Yeah, uh
Pornographic, so dramatic, cinematic
Diamond flashes, so Jurassic, dress so classic
Roll that cabbage, get put in casket, you dope fanatic
You the baddest, I'm sarcastic, we both laughin'
I'm the baddest, I'm out in traffic, four engine backin'
Stuffed in Suburban, twelve bitches straight out the beauty pageant
You know Reebok keep La feet hot, they be shipping package
Gl 600 or the Palace, that collab with Classics
Tell me what you need, I got everything green
Money, money, money trees, I buy everything
That bitch need no wedding ring, she need a bean
Uh, that boy walked in mall, that boy he need a beam
I done fucked her twice you bought her Fendi things
I done sipped the Act' now I'ma leany fiend
I can do this by myself, don't need no team
No, I got all these kids and all these kids gon' sing
We will understand if they don't (yeah, yeah)
We don't want they bullshit no more (yeah, uh)
We will understand if they don't (yeah, yeah)
We don't want they bullshit no more (yeah)
The lyrics to Travi$ Scott's "Zombies" may have a variety of interpretations, but one possible interpretation is that the singer is expressing a desire for authenticity and honesty in a society that can be superficial and fake. The beginning of the song has children singing, which may symbolize the need for a pure and innocent perspective in a world that is often jaded and corrupted. The repeated lyrics "We don't want they bullshit no more" suggest a frustration with people who are insincere or disingenuous.
The singer then turns to personal anecdotes and reflections, such as the line "You take too many martinis, she slip straight out bikini." This portrays a world of extravagance and anxiety, where individuals are prone to indulging in vices and making mistakes. The line "How we gone get Oscar proud if they pay us pennies?" could be a reference to the lack of diversity and recognition in Hollywood, as well as the financial disparities between different professions. The singer then pivots to a more boastful tone, with lines like "You know Reebok keep La feet hot, they be shipping package." However, even amidst the showiness, the repeated phrase "all these kids gon' sing" suggests that the singer still desires authenticity and meaning, and that the children remain a potent symbol of hope.
