I Don't Mind
Vino Tarantino Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I've been out mind too like seven times
It was overnight to get it right
You gotta catch your call
I gotta catch my flight (flight)
Run up on me get hit (pipe)
Put a fridge on my wrist (ice)
Pretty girl on zany she don't wanna go home
She smiles at my check when my cash on a roll
Gonna ride to the bank while they laughing at you
Just ran up my check, man there ain't no you
I swear I hate that bitch, through channeled frames
Had to settle fucking with lanes
Clicked up quick and they put me on gain
Where you gonna look, try the other way
Ran around I tryna duck 12, 30 round clip took one shell
Took a lot from me to get out myself
There's a lot about me that you can't tell
Baby you want it, I like it, your full of love
They say they with me but I say they'll show no love
I took a lot of em', I swear I won't overdose
I'll crank a zany not my primidone
Oh I don't mind
I've been out mind too like seven times
It was overnight to get it right
You gotta catch your call
I gotta catch my flight (flight)
Run up on me get hit (pipe)
Put a fridge on my wrist (ice)
She gon' chase my drip (right)
Thought you would've stayed, watched you go away
This is on my mind, I'd rather not say
Wake up to myself, this will be the day
Then I tell myself, fuck it either way
Oh I don't mind
I've been out mind too like seven times
It was overnight to get it right
You gotta catch your call
I gotta catch my flight (flight)
Run up on me get hit (pipe)
Put a fridge on my wrist (ice)
She gon' chase my drip (right)
Pretty girl on zany she don't wanna go home
She smiles at my check when my cash on a roll
Gonna ride to the bank while they laughing at you
Just ran up my check, man there ain't no you
Pretty girl on zany she don't wanna go home
She smiles at my check when my cash on a roll
Gonna ride to the bank while they laughing at you
Just ran up my check, man there ain't no you
The overall theme of Vino Tarantino's "I Don't Mind" is the distant, almost apathetic state of mind of the artist despite being repeatedly mistreated by others. The lyrics suggest that he has been through a lot, and has become somewhat desensitized to it all, as evidenced by lines like "I've been out of my mind too like seven times." He seems to be on the brink of emotional collapse, but still manages to maintain a level of cool detachment, as if none of the negative experiences have really gotten to him.
The song is largely about a pretty girl on drugs who doesn't want to go home, and who is impressed with Vino's money and lifestyle. He is aware that the girl is only interested in him because of what he can provide, and perhaps because of that, he doesn't really care about the relationship or what she thinks. The lyrics paint a hazy picture of Vino's wild lifestyle, with lines like "Put a fridge on my wrist" and "I'll crank a zany, not my primidone," showing a preference for high-end luxury items and recreational drug use.
The closing lines of the song suggest a sense of resignation and acceptance on the artist's part, as if he knows that he will continue to be mistreated but has come to terms with it. Lines like "Wake up to myself, this will be the day" and "Then I tell myself, fuck it either way" show that Vino has reached the point where he is just going through the motions, resigned to whatever comes his way.
