Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You think that they should hang with us
Can't feel my music we used to dance so Thelonious
Monk from my monastery
Carried my bags out the door
Lit that shit with a big
Hit a jig
Threw the ash with the cash in a knapsack
Used to love me
I used to love you
We had the phones
(Goddamn)
We had the phones
But d-d-did you love me
Like I loved you
Wonder if you'll dismiss me
Maybe light-skin Aunt Viv me
Decadent executive
Make sure no nigga never miss me
No, once I go into the darkness
His darkest darkness
Wonder if you'll dismiss me
Maybe light-skin Aunt Viv me
Decadent executive
Make sure no nigga never miss me
No, once I go into the darkness
His darkest darkness
Hey listen Janet
Cool if I call you Janet?
Been hanging on this branch in the canopy out in Canada
Man just mangled my manager
Text say I'm boutta, vanish
What we doing this weekend was thinking it's time to dance, dance
Used to love me
I used to love you
We had the phones
(Goddamn)
We had the phones
But d-d-did you love me
Like I loved you
Wonder if you'll dismiss me
Maybe light-skin Aunt Viv me
Decadent executive
Make sure no nigga never miss me
No, once I go into the darkness
His darkest darkness
Wonder if you'll dismiss me
Maybe light-skin Aunt Viv me
Decadent executive
Make sure no nigga never miss me
No, once I go into the darkness
His darkest darkness
Said I wonder
Said I wonder
Said I wonder
Said I wonder
Why I want love
I just want love
Said I wonder
Said I wonder
Said I wonder
Why I want love
I just want love
Said I wonder
Said I wonder
Said I wonder
I just want love
The song "Janet" by Berhana appears to be a reflection on a past love that is both bittersweet and painful to remember. The lyrics mention a woman named Mrs. Hubert who doesn't seem to connect to the music anymore, and references a previous time when they used to dance to jazz legend Thelonious Monk. The line "Used to love me, I used to love you" suggests that the relationship has ended, and the lyrics wonder if the person has moved on and forgotten about the love they shared. The singer seems to be struggling to come to terms with the end of the relationship, and is hoping that the person will dismiss them or forget about them entirely, so that they can move on with their life.
The title character of the song, Janet, is introduced later on and appears to be a source of comfort for the singer. They imply that they are far away from home and in a difficult situation, perhaps due to the recent breakup or some other hardship. They seek solace in the idea of spending time with Janet, and may be hoping to find a new love with her. However, the lyrics end on a sad note, as the singer wonders why they want love at all. The repetition of the phrase "Said I wonder, I just want love" suggests that they are grappling with deep feelings of loneliness and heartache.

The song is an ode to actress Janet Hubert who played the original "Aunt Vivian" in the show Fresh Prince of Belair. Janet was replaced by another actress and didn't really get many other acting parts after. I think he feels that she was dismissed and forgotten, which he has said is a fear of his
