Days Before Rodeo & The Prayer
Travi$ Scott Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Midnight awakin', hyperventilatin'
Drunk laps runnin' 'round the globe wild goose chasin'
After three number one albums would've thought I'd feel amazin'
Still impatient, still sippin' on liquor
Still rollin' up swishers
Now it's Beamers double parking, fuck payin' the meter
In your club, on your couch, just got paid to be here
On your girl, rubbin' on my favorite features
How could they tease us, only wanted of Ben Franklins and Mona Lisas

Jesus, Jesus, Jesus
Man, I might fuck 'round, lose my mind, I gotta break out
I'm on a stake out, on a farm or your lake house

Around 3 AM dog
I was gettin' busy in the bathroom stall
Bad mamacita, Miami heater
Put it in a two seater, too bad I couldn't three-peat her
Need a whole lotta vida 'fore I see the reaper
House full of snow bunnies, puttin' trees up like it's Christmas Easter
With more stamps than a skinny nigga got tats on my Visa
I know the kids in La Flame, they don't trust, they believe it

I mean, Jesus, Jesus, Jesus, Jesus
Man, I might fuck 'round, lose my mind, I gotta break out
I'm on a stake out, on a farm or your lake house

Jesus, Jesus, I mean, Jesus, Jesus
Man, I might fuck 'round, lose my mind, I gotta break out
I'm on a stake out, on a farm or your lake house

Jesus, Jesus, I mean, Jesus, Jesus




I might fuck 'round, lose my mind
Jesus

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Travi$ Scott's "The Prayer" displays the repetitive use of the phrase "Jesus, Jesus, Jesus" as an indication of the rapper's current state of desperation. The opening lines suggest that he is encountering anxiety amidst his success as he wakes up in the middle of the night and hyperventilates. He is chasing after something that he has not yet obtained despite having three number one albums, and he shows no signs of slowing down as he is still impatient, sipping on liquor, and rolling up swishers. The lines "now it's Beamers double parking, fuck paying the meter" and "on your girl, rubbin' on my favourite features" shows that Scott is indulging in a lavish lifestyle, enjoying the perks of his greatness while acknowledging how it might end up corrupting him.


The latter half of the song describes Scott's continued search for satisfaction, whether it be in the form of sex, drugs or cold hard cash. He emphasizes his temporal nature with the words "I'm on a stakeout, on a farm, or your lake house" which is further intensified by the repetition of "Jesus, Jesus, Jesus." By the end of the song, the repeated phrase, "I might fuck 'round, lose my mind, I gotta break out" accentuates both Scott's need for escape, as well as his almost self-destructive tendencies.
