Radio
Yuns feat. Dante Thomas Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Driving in my car
Listening to the radio
Baby when things got hard
You just let love go
I see the sunshine in the sky
Feel the rainfall down on my face
When we don't sing the same melody
As I listen to the radio
[Verse 1:]
Top down Volume up
And it's way past 10
I'm in the traffic reminiscing
About way back when
We used to live check to check
Everyday we was so broke
The only thing we had between us
Was our love and some hope
I was the man that made you laugh
And that cat the made you cry
You were the star that had my back
And the dime on my side
You never ever tried to change me
You'd just let me be me
Never got on me bout my business
You just let me be free
Gave me the space so I could breathe
Took care of my every need
In return I gave you everything
And made you my queen
We had the strongest of ties
Nothing could ever separate us
Took vows before God
And Honey Mooned out in Vegas
And You stood by me when the fam died
And held me close
But I guess nothing is forever
Now you want to let go
And I don't understand it
Fact I can barely believe it
I keep it pushing through the traffic
Still don't know why your leaving
[Chorus:]
Driving in my car
Listening to the radio
Baby when things got hard
You just let love go
I see the sunshine in the sky
Feel the rainfall down on my face
But it doesn't mean a thing
When we don't sing the same melody
As I listen to the radio
[Verse 2:]
I think I at least deserve and explanation
Why your leaving
I could see if I was cheating
But that can't be the reason
I'm not believing how it changed
We was happy with nothing
Now we unhappy with something
Baby what happened to the loving
Miss the kissing and hugging
Wannna play with my kids
I'm on the road making this money
Trying to handle our biz
I put the fam first and foremost
Only second to God
Now you packing up and leaving
Said the distance is hard
But any woman in they right mind
Would love this man
I went out of my way
And held it down for the fam
I only wish you could just take a minute
Notice the way that we did it
While most just talk it we done lived it
How can you forget it
And I'mma spit it till my lungs collapse
I know the truth is that it's over
And you ain't coming back
So let me put this on record
I wrote these licks from my soul
I know that nothing lasts forever
But it's sad to see you go
[Chorus:]
Driving in my car
Listening to the radio
Baby when things got hard
You just let love go
I see the sunshine in the sky
Feel the rainfall down on my face
But it doesn't mean a thing
When we don't sing the same melody
As I listen to the radio
[Verse 3:]
There's an old expression
If you love them let them go
If they come back its true love
But you can never be sure
So I'mma man up and stand up
I guess I got to let her leave
I mean it's hard on my heart
To watch her walk away from me
I know we had some bad times
But I never would have expected
The money would come along
And leave us stressed out and tested
And I invested every piece of me
In someone that believed in me
And now she leaving me
I guess it wasn't meant to be
And I'd be lying if I said it didn't hurt
But I'm a man I chalk it up
And I'mma take it for what it's worth
She pushed me to get it
And when I got it she left me
So I'mma give it to my kids
And keep on riding this Bentley
And evidently she confused
Thought the money d make her happy
But the money made us changed
And it effected us badly
I would have gladly quit it all
If she just would have asked me
And gave up the music
To make it right with my family
[Chorus:]
Driving in my car
Listening to the radio
Baby when things got hard
You just let love go
I see the sunshine in the sky
Feel the rainfall down on my face
But it doesn't mean a thing
When we don't sing the same melody
As I listen to the radio

Driving in my car
On the road, behind the wheel, moving towards a new destination
Listening to the radio
Listening to music, seeking solace in familiar sounds
Baby when things got hard
When times got tough, when the going got rough
You just let love go
You gave up on love, you left without warning
I see the sunshine in the sky
I feel some happiness, some warmth, some light
Feel the rainfall down on my face
Experiencing some sadness, some tears, some pain
But it doesn't mean a thing
Despite this emotional experience, it is not meaningful
When we don't sing the same melody
Our relationship is not in tune, not harmonious
As I listen to the radio
Amidst all of this, the music goes on, playing in the background of life
Top down Volume up
Convertible car, loud music
And it's way past 10
Late at night
I'm in the traffic reminiscing
Road congestion, thinking about the past
About way back when
Reflecting on old memories
We used to live check to check
Our finances were tight, we struggled to make ends meet
Everyday we was so broke
We had no money, we were living in poverty
The only thing we had between us
The only thing we shared, that kept us together
Was our love and some hope
Love and hope were our most precious resources
I was the man that made you laugh
I brought joy into your life, made you smile
And that cat the made you cry
I caused pain, heartache, and emotional distress
You were the star that had my back
You were my support system, loyal and dependable
And the dime on my side
You were my partner, my equal, my soulmate
You never ever tried to change me
You accepted me for who I am, flaws and all
You'd just let me be me
You allowed me to be myself, without judgment or criticism
Never got on me bout my business
You never interfered with my work or personal affairs
You just let me be free
You gave me space, freedom, and autonomy
Gave me the space so I could breathe
You allowed me to relax, unwind, and recharge
Took care of my every need
You attended to my physical, emotional, and mental needs
In return I gave you everything
I reciprocated your love, commitment, and sacrifice
And made you my queen
I treated you like royalty, with respect and admiration
We had the strongest of ties
Our connection was firm, unwavering, and unshakable
Nothing could ever separate us
We were inseparable, impervious to outside forces
Took vows before God
We made a solemn pledge, a spiritual commitment
And Honey Mooned out in Vegas
We celebrated our union, our love, our future
And You stood by me when the fam died
You supported me during a difficult time of grief and loss
And held me close
You comforted me, hugged me tightly, and provided solace
But I guess nothing is forever
Even the strongest bonds can be broken, shattered, or dissolved
Now you want to let go
You are ready to move on, to end our relationship
And I don't understand it
I am confused, bewildered, and uncertain
Fact I can barely believe it
The reality is hard to accept, hard to process, hard to fathom
I keep it pushing through the traffic
I keep moving forward, despite the obstacles and challenges
Still don't know why your leaving
I am still searching for answers, for closure, for understanding
I think I at least deserve and explanation
I believe I am entitled to some answers, some closure, some resolution
If you love them let them go
If you truly care about someone, set them free
If they come back its true love
If they return, it is a sign of genuine, authentic love
But you can never be sure
There are no guarantees, no certainties, no absolutes
So I'mma man up and stand up
I will face this situation with courage, dignity, and self-respect
I guess I got to let her leave
I must accept her decision, and let her go
I mean it's hard on my heart
It is emotionally painful, difficult, and challenging
To watch her walk away from me
To see her leave, depart, and disappear from my life
But any woman in they right mind
Any sensible, rational, intelligent woman
Would love this man
Would feel attracted, connected, and devoted to me
I went out of my way
I made extra effort, went above and beyond
And held it down for the fam
I supported and provided for my family, through thick and thin
Only second to God
My family is my top priority, second only to my faith
Now you packing up and leaving
You are packing your belongings, and preparing to leave
Said the distance is hard
You cited distance, separation, or physical space as a reason to leave
But the money made us changed
We were negatively affected, transformed, or corrupted by wealth
And it effected us badly
It had a negative impact, influence, or consequence
I would have gladly quit it all
I was willing to give up everything, for the sake of our relationship
If she just would have asked me
If you had only communicated with me, expressed your concerns, or sought my help
And gave up the music
If you had given up your career, or made a sacrifice for our family
To make it right with my family
To restore, repair, or strengthen our family bonds
