Wonder featuring Mpho Skeef Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Well I hope I make more money than this in the next world.
I hope there's a lot more in it there for me.
I'd like my trousers pressed and my shoes
Shined up by a rich girl,

Who's only care in the world is me.
"but are these all the brains I'm entitled to have?
Don't try to make me happy, when I'm happy feeling bad.

I've got no manners or a hand you shake,

And when I won't tell the truth it's easier to fake."
So....(sing title)
I'd like it all.
Is the bank big enough?

Coming ready or not to the next world.
I hope there's a whole lot more in it there for me.
I'd like my friends to be rich and I'll never do a stitch,
In the next world, and my only care in the world is me.

"is the bank big enough
Coming ready or not to the next world"

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Wonder featuring Mpho Skeef's song, More, seem to be about the anticipation of an afterlife, where the singer hopes for more prosperity and success. The opening lines express a desire for a greater amount of wealth and opportunities in the next life. The singer goes on to paint a picture of their ideal existence, complete with someone to cater to their needs, like a personal assistant. The line "Who's only care in the world is me" suggests a sort of entitled attitude.

The next few lines seem to heighten the singer's existential angst, questioning whether they have been given the full potential of intelligence or "brains." Additionally, the singer suggests that they sometimes pretend to be unhappy when they are happy, perhaps because they enjoy complaining or feel like they have to keep up appearances.

Overall, the song appears to convey a sense of dissatisfaction with the present life, and a hope for something more fulfilling in the afterlife. The repetition of the line "I'd like it all" and the question about the size of the bank conveys a sense of entitlement and greed, which may be contributing to the singer's overall dissatisfaction.
