Crying In The Chapel
V.A. Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴

Corduroy jacket, empty ketchup packet
I just ordered a package, my nigga did you pack it
I'm just trying track it, it comes and I unwrap it
I'm pulling out my grinder, then I do the packing
I get the bill for student debt, then I become a silhouette
They betting on my own success
I start a revolution, that's a viable solution
'Til the feds behind assassination

I'm ashamed of my own nation
Sometimes I wish I had no relation
I got no patience, I wanna be a patron to the arts
I get plastered then I throw some darts
I just got 'em in the bullseye, that white boy in a bowtie
I'm claiming that I didn't try but I just wanna see him cry
Sorry my realness, I'm only doing business
I'm scary like the darkness, and when I'm wet it's Lochness
Ooh, I love it when you give it to me
Ooh, just shake it honey shake it baby
Ooh, I love it when you give it to me
Ooh, just shake it honey shake it baby
Ooh, I love it when you give it to me
Ooh, just shake it honey shake it baby
Ooh, I love it when you give it to me
Ooh, just shake it honey shake it baby
Okay, bring the booty over like your name Blackbeard
Tryna get all touchy-feely mami, I'm right here
I ain't good at sending signals so I'm tryna be clear
Coochie be the frontier, and I'll be the pioneer
I'ma come a little closer so you smell my cologne
I don't mean to be a creep but did you come here alone
Oh you didn't, and I'm seeing all your friends over there
I'll go try to win them over so they'll give me my share
A great pair we would make, girl you know how to shake
You don't gotta bend it over 'cause I see that you bake
All that cake in the back, girl you look like a snack
I'ma replicate that booty put that shit on a plaque
Out here double-cheeked up on a Friday evening
Got all the niggas in the function hot and glistening
Base in the club so loud, are you listening
I can be like David Banner honey, now I'm whispering
I'm crying in the club tonight
All the bouncin' booty really put up a fight
My jaw droppin' every minute, honestly it's a sight
But if I dance with too many some dude will be tight
I'm crying in the club tonight
All the bouncin' booty really put up a fight
My jaw droppin' every minute, honestly it's a sight
But if I dance with too many some dude will be tight
You got the key to my heart girl
I just wanna see that booty spread apart girl
And maybe after we can walk at the park girl
I swear, you a motherfuckin' piece of art girl, yeah
You got the key to my heart girl
I just wanna see that booty spread apart girl
And maybe after we can walk at the park girl
I swear, you a motherfuckin' piece of art girl
Let's light the spark girl
Ooh, I love it when you give it to me
Ooh, just shake it honey shake it baby
Ooh, I love it when you give it to me
Ooh, just shake it honey shake it baby
Ooh, I love it when you give it to me
Ooh, just shake it honey shake it baby

Ooh, I love it when you give it to me
Ooh, just shake it honey shake it baby

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of V.A.'s song "Crying In The Chapel" delve into themes of personal struggles, societal pressures, and desires for connection and indulgence. The opening verses paint a picture of mundane activities, such as ordering a package and dealing with student debt, which may symbolize the everyday challenges and tensions faced by many individuals. The mention of becoming a silhouette and feeling ashamed of one's own nation suggests a sense of invisibility and disillusionment with the status quo.

The following lines allude to a desire for rebellion and change, with references to starting a revolution and feeling impatient with the current state of affairs. The singer expresses a wish for detachment from their own nation, perhaps reflecting a feeling of alienation or disconnect from society. The mention of wanting to be a patron to the arts and engaging in activities like throwing darts while plastered may depict a longing for escapism and creative expression amid the chaos.

The lyrics then take a more flirtatious and provocative tone, with verses about approaching someone at a club and admiring physical attributes like a 'great pair' and a 'replicated booty'. The imagery of being 'double-cheeked up' and the emphasis on physicality and desire suggest a hedonistic and lustful pursuit of pleasure. The lines about crying in the club and feeling overwhelmed by the sights and sounds around them depict a sense of inner turmoil and vulnerability amidst the external distractions.

Throughout the song, there is a juxtaposition of longing for intimacy and connection, and a self-awareness of the superficiality and transience of the interactions at the club. The repeated refrains of 'I love it when you give it to me' and 'just shake it honey shake it baby' convey a mix of desire and objectification, highlighting the complex and often conflicting emotions present in such social settings. Ultimately, the lyrics seem to capture a moment of fleeting passion and desire, intertwined with themes of loneliness, disillusionment, and a yearning for authentic connection.
