Wildin'

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Early days
I was in a basement
Placement payment came in
That shit was bananas
Bustin' through my homie door like Costanza
Think we ready
With my nigga Freddie
In a checkered pickup truck
Pickin' up hella Henny
Lookin' for the hoes
I'm wildin' 'cause it's all I know
I'm hoping I don't waste it
Just tryna to buy my mama clothes
Pray my prayers to the Base God
'Cause mama say she think I'm chose
I'm hoping I don't waste it
I always picture picture-perfect
Must have been out of my mind
Tried to figure if this shit was really worth it
But is it worth this?
Probably not, probably got
Worse off my few shots
I hit "The Boondocks"
Play me off the boombox
Bombaclast bastards
Making music for the masses
But I'm zooted off this gas
And I be trippin' off this acid
Apple at my last show
Bitches in my bathroom
Hit the stage with my hands full of liquor
I'm wildin' 'cause it's all I know
I'm hoping I don't waste this
Just tryna to buy my mama clothes
Pray my prayers to the Base God
'Cause mama say she think I'm chosen
I'm hoping I don't waste-
Kick it in the back
Feelin' black and broke
Sittin' in the back
Sipping Jack and coke
Kick it in the back
With them background folk
Joke on you
She like background folks
Kick it in the back
Feelin' black and broke
Sittin' in the back
Sipping Jack and coke
Kick it in the back
With them black man folk
Joke on you
She like black man (black man)
Apple at my last show
Bitches in my bathroom
Hit the stage with my hands full of liquor
I'm wildin' 'cause it's all I know
I'm hoping I don't waste this
Just tryna to buy my mama clothes
Pray my prayers to the Base God
'Cause mama say she think I'm chosen
I'm hoping I don't waste this
I'm hoping I don't waste this
I'm hoping I don't waste this
The song Wildin, by Berhana, explores the theme of recklessness and self-discovery, as the lyrics detail a night out with friends, drinking and trying to hook up with girls. The song's opening lines, "Let them see them in/Early days," suggest the group is young and inexperienced, and is looking to live wild and free while they can.
The first verse of the song sets the scene in a basement, where the singer receives some money and decides to go out with his friend Freddie. The duo buys some Henny and searches for girls, hoping to have a good time. The chorus reflects their state of mind, as they acknowledge the risks of their actions but are still keen to indulge in them. The line "I'm wildin' 'cause it's all I know/I'm hoping I don't waste it" captures this sentiment, with the singer admitting to feeling lost but not wanting to let that stop them from enjoying life.
The second verse suggests some self-reflection on the part of the singer, who wonders if his choices are worth the consequences. However, he quickly brushes those thoughts off and continues to "wild out" with his friends. The last part of the song features a catchy refrain that repeats the line "I'm hoping I don't waste this," which serves as a reminder that the singer wants to make the most of his youth, despite the risks involved.
Overall, Berhana's song Wildin portrays the thrill of youth, the desire to live life to the fullest, and the fear of wasting it. The lyrics are honest and raw, as they capture the reckless abandon of adolescence and the desire to have fun, even if it means making mistakes.

In my early days, I was struggling and living in a basement with my friends. Just when I received some payment for my work, I felt ecstatic and energized. With my friend Freddie, we were determined to make an impact in the music industry. We drove around looking for parties and girls, fueled by Hennessy.

I act out and act wild because it's my lifestyle, and it's all I know. But I don't want to squander my success and opportunities. I'm working hard to be able to provide for my mother and take care of her. I pray to the Based God because my mother thinks I have a special talent and purpose in life. I don't want to waste any of it.

I used to imagine that my life and career would be perfect, but it was an unrealistic expectation. Sometimes I doubt if all the struggles and challenges I face in this industry are truly worthwhile. I can't say for certain, but my few experiences have proved to be frustrating and disappointing. Instead, I try to escape reality by getting high and hallucinating.

During one of my last shows, I received an Apple product as a gift from a fan, and there were girls partying in my bathroom. Despite my indulgences, I continued to perform, and I'm wild on stage because that's just how I am. I hope I can make the most of my situation and not let my success go to waste.

I hang out in the back, feeling broke and unimportant. I drink Jack and Coke and chill with the people in the background, making jokes and socializing. Despite feeling down and out, I still attract girls and have a good time.
