Shooting Star
big murph Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Where I'm going Straight to the top
If you wanna ride you can come along
Where I'm going it's awfully far
but we gon get there quick on a shooting star (repeat 2x)
(Verse 1/Lil Barn)
If I'm shooting, I always hit my shot
I can tie a rope in several different knots
hauling hay in the summer when it's hot
I like animals so I never hunt
I don't drink beer but I'll smoke a blunt
I don't like to fight but I hold my own
raised in Tennessee in a little town
(Hook/Lil Barn)
Where I'm going Straight to the top
If you wanna ride you can come along
Where I'm going it's awfully far
but we gon get there quick on a shooting star (repeat 2x)
(Bridge/Lil Barn)
Take my hand, It's gon be okayyyy, It's gon be ok
Take my hand, It's gon be okayyyy, It's gon be ok
(Verse 2/Big Murph)
Where I'm goin? Straight to the trap
Cop a sack and flip it till I get it back
I got lots of neighbors smoking meth and crack
We don't really kick it like a hacky-sack
You should keep your distance before my dog attacks
My kush got red hair but ain't no perm attached
I stay super clean there ain't no germs on that
Chopper with the beam it'll burst your ass
White boy from the furnace where them burners at
Lil Barn out in Burns where they serve a pack
We'll shoot you in your ass there ain't no turning back
it won't be okayyyy, it won't be ok
(hook/Lil Barn)
Where I'm going Straight to the top
If you wanna ride you can come along
Where I'm going it's awfully far
but we gon get there quick on a shooting star (repeat 2x)
The lyrics to Big Murph's song "Shooting Star" have a straightforward meaning. The hook in the song suggests that the singer is determined to succeed in life and is heading straight to the top. The lines "If you wanna ride you can come along, where I'm going it's awfully far, but we gon get there quick on a shooting star" indicate that the singer is ready to take any willing person along on his journey. Lil Barn, in the first verse, tries to draw a picture of his personality. He is someone who can achieve anything he puts his mind to, is hardworking and skillful, and can tie a rope in different knots. He also reveals that he loves animals and believes in peaceful co-existence. Despite growing up in a small town in Tennessee, he has learned to hold his own ground.
In the second verse, Big Murph's lyrics indicate that he is from an entirely different background. Unlike Lil Barn's upbringing, Big Murph has grown up in a less fortunate environment, where people are addicted to drugs and violence. He talks about selling drugs to make money, and there is evidence of gun violence. He says, "We'll shoot you in your ass; there ain't no turning back." Big Murph is aware that things can go wrong, and it is not always "okay." Overall, the song's message is that everyone is on their own journey, and Lil Barn and Big Murph have different paths, but they are both determined to succeed.
