jid Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Forever can't be too far away
From never, stay where you are, you are
Everyone's a star, every day's the move
Everywhere you are, pray it gon' rescue you
Everyone's a star, every day's the move
Everywhere you are, pray
Oh, so you don't call now
You don't pick up the motherfuckin' phone, nigga?
Oh, okay, oh, okay, yeah
Yeah, you are who I thought you was, nigga
You plastic, nigga, that means you motherfuckin' fake
These lyrics are from JID's song "Galaxy" and they talk about staying true to oneself and not being fake. The song starts with a count-in "One, two, three, four", before the first line "Forever can't be too far away". This line suggests that one should always strive for their goals because they are achievable. The next line "From never, stay where you are, you are" means that one should not give up on their dreams and keep working towards them. The chorus talks about how everyone is a star and that every day is an opportunity to shine. The lyrics "Everywhere you are, pray it gon' rescue you" suggest that one should always stay positive and have hope.
The second verse criticizes fake people who pretend to be someone they're not. The lines "Oh, so you don't call now, You don't pick up the motherfuckin' phone, nigga?" suggest that the person being addressed is not reliable and does not keep his promises. The rapper then goes on to call the person fake, saying "You plastic, nigga, that means you motherfuckin' fake". The song ends on a note of disappointment and frustration with people who pretend to be something they're not.
