I
Twiztid Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Ya see I could make a mill, and don't have to sell drugs
I could smoke a roach, and do have to light bugs
I could pack a bowl, but I'm not Cheech and Chong
Not Cypress Hill, but I like hittin' bongs
I can be fat, and don't have to gain weight
I can be a legend, and don't have to be great
I don't have to take a plane to fly high
I don't want to live my life just to die
I can be a DJ, and don't have to scratch
I could spark my cigarette with a lighter or match
I can have a gun, and I don't have to shoot
I can get a job, and try to earn a little loot
I could be a bum and live in a box
I could move to your neighborhood, stayin' on your block
I can like tricks, but I'm not a silly rabbit
I can't stop smokin' because I can't kick the habit
What is a jam if you don't come smooth?
What is a beat if you don't have a groove?
I could be the President, and legalize weed




I could grow a field of bud with a hand full of seeds
Damn

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Twiztid's song "I Could" express the idea that the singer has a lot of options in life and doesn't have to conform to any particular expectations or standards. The song is about the freedom to choose one's own path, whether that means making a lot of money without selling drugs, enjoying different recreational activities without being labeled as a certain type of person, or pursuing one's own interests and passions without worrying about external measures of success.


The opening lines of the song establish this theme by stating that the singer could make a million dollars without resorting to selling drugs, and could smoke a roach without having to resort to lighting bugs. These lines suggest that there are other options available to the singer besides the usual stereotypes that people might associate with certain activities. The singer then goes on to list a series of other things they could do or be, from being fat without gaining weight, to being a DJ without scratching, to being a bum living in a box or moving to someone else's neighborhood. The chorus then poses a series of rhetorical questions about what music is without a smooth delivery and what a beat is without a groove, which suggests that the singer is interested in the artistry and creative expression that can be found in all types of music and lifestyles.


Overall, the lyrics to "I Could" celebrate individuality and emphasize the power of choice, encouraging listeners to forge their own path in life and reject any labels or expectations that might limit them.

I've got these feelings that I can do without in my life
all the wrong i see what can i do to make it right?
I try and try but I just can not seem to compromise,
so i get discouraged and all these feelings they multiply

Tell em all be scared I'm Americas nightmare,
given that you die tonight stare,
living every day like the end is right there
i don't feel like life is letting me fight fair
out of luck
got to give it no a fuck
tired of living just enough for the minimal stuff
i'm like a truck with a rip in the tug
and a big ass dent just get in the front
it's like i'm right back there living with moms
because she just aint getting enough disability from the state from when it dropped out
proudly she stood in the front most of ya'll would of given it up

I've got these feelings that I can do without in my life
all the wrong i see what can i do to make it right???
I try and try but I just can not seem to compromise,
so i get discouraged and all these feelings they multiply...

yo from broke and eaten roman to charms and diamonds
story teller telling mine where to find them and to rob em
no i'm not shining
i'm dull and too small for these disco balls
that think that we're behind ya'll
we're not your curtain call
but we're for certain that all ya'll in the way need to sit down before you fall off
everybody playing the same game
don't suprised you on top of the world then beneath it on the next day
fuck what everybody say
everyone has opinions
and that shit right there aint never gonna change like the weather
as long as you know you got it together the rest of the world
can flake and fall of like a scab
sick and tired of being sad got no reason being mad
I finally understand that we were meant to everlast
aint it funny catching feelings made me ugly
i remember once upon a time when you used to love me

I've got these feelings that I can do without in my life
all the wrong i see what can i do to make it right?
I try and try but I just can not seem to compromise,
so i get discouraged and all these feelings they multiply

Turn me on turn me down turn me up and around
got the feeling that somethings happening
i'm like spinning in a daze pushing everything away
i got the feeling that somethings happening

I've got these feelings that I can do without in my life
all the wrong i see what can i do to make it right?
I try and try but I just can not seem to compromise,
so i get discouraged and all these feelings they multiply



Madison Design Studio's

I got these feelings that I can do without in my life
All the wrong I see, what can I do to make it right?
I try, I try but I just cannot seem to compromise
So I get discouraged and all these feelings, they multiply

Tell them all be scared, I'm America's nightmare
Giving that 'you die tonight' stare
Living every day like the end is right there
I don't feel like life is letting me fight fair
Out of luck, got to give no fuck
Tired of living just enough for minimal stuff
I'm like a truck with ripped up tuck
With a big ass dip just given to front
It's like I'm right back living with Moms
'Cause she just ain't getting enough
Disability from the state
When the dad got proud and he's screaming the fraud?
Most of y'all would've given it up

I got these feelings that I can do without in my life
All the wrong I see, what can I do to make it right?
I try, I try but I just cannot seem to compromise
So I get discouraged and all these feelings, they multiply

Yo, from broke eating ramen to the charms with diamonds
Told me I'm a talented man [?] little rhyming
No, I'm not shining and I know, I'm too small
For disco balls and things that [?] behind y'all
We're not your friends call, but we're for certian
And all of y'all are in need to sit down before you fall off
Everybody's playing the same game, don't be surprised
You on top of the world, I'mma need it on the next day
Fuck what everybody say, everyone has opinions
And that shit right there ain't ever gonna change
Like the weather, and you should know you got it together
The rest of the broken frame can fall off like the scabs
Sick and tired of being sad, got no reason being mad
I finally understand that we we're meant to everlast
Ain't it funny? Catching feelings made me ugly
I remember once upon a time when you used to love me

I got these feelings that I can do without in my life
All the wrong I see, what can I do to make it right?
I try, I try but I just cannot seem to compromise
So I get discouraged and all these feelings, they multiply

Turn me on, turn me down, turn me up and around
Got the feeling that something's happening
My mind's spinning in a daze pushing everything away
Got the feeling that something's happening

I got these feelings that I can do without in my life
All the wrong I see, what can I do to make it right?
I try, I try but I just cannot seem to compromise
So I get discouraged and all these feelings, they multiply
