I Had A Vision
masego Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Eleven seven love, no seventy seventy, 'round the town
Press push, no transpose
Let me hear that natural tone
Find a spot to make it go
To a place you'll never go
Where you tryna go, I'm tryna go
I got the keys, you got the house
I got the vibe, you got the juice
I got the- ooh
I got the mic

I had a vision
A room full of women
All of them were driven
Straight independent

French neck but she plays like she's from Virginia
Body from the bay and she knows the slang
Mouth piece codeine with a bunch of reefer (ah)
Been around town but she keep it secret

Wanna show you off, you a bad one (she bad)
Rock you on my neck, you motivate me, you're just what I need
If they snap us they gonna need a frame on deck
Basquiat soul, you're painting love the best (I'm so)
Rebellious when it come to this
(What you even mean? What you even dream?)

I had a vision
A room full of women
All of them were driven
Straight independent

She got a square frame, but she deemed a legend
Hip-Hop claim she like an eleven
Take all my thoughts and my ideas
Wall so thick call her Ikea
So lit when I plug in
So in sync, in sync when I'm loving (Lady Lady)
Knock and rock call her Ali-Ah, call her Ali-Ah
Knock and rock call her Ali-Ah
Rock this Bo- shh shh, shut up, you can't clear that sample
Bring the chorus

I had a vision
A room full of women
All of them were driven
Straight independent

Touching you is so easy
Swear it's muscle-muscle-muscle-muscle memory
Mix chick, and she black, white, enchanting
Lady lady won't you come with me

Hit hard, hit south (velocity)
Turn left, turn right (knobby Knees)
Go up, go down (variety)
Same time, same time (melody)

Hit hard, hit south (velocity)
Turn left, turn right (knobby Knees)
Go up, go down (variety)
Same time, same time (melody)

Hit hard, hit south (velocity)
Turn left, turn right (knobby Knees)
Go up, go down (variety)
Same time, same time (melody)

Overall Meaning

The song “I Had A Vision” by Masego is a tribute to independent and ambitious women. The opening lines, “Eleven seven love, no seventy seventy, 'round the town, Press push, no transpose, Let me hear that natural tone”, are a reference to Masego’s love for jazz. “Eleven seven love” is a nod to the chord progression of a jazz standard, “Body and Soul”. The chorus, “I had a vision, A room full of women, All of them were driven, Straight independent” is Masego’s message to women that he believes in their ambition, drive, and freedom.


Masego goes on to describe his ideal woman, who is confident and independent, but also a rebel. He mentions a “French neck” and a girl who “plays like she's from Virginia”. He also admires her Hip-Hop style, which he likens to a Basquiat painting. When he says “Touching you is so easy, Swear it's muscle-muscle-muscle-muscle memory, Mix chick, and she black, white, enchanting, Lady lady won't you come with me” he is professing a physical attraction to this woman, but more importantly, he values her traits and characteristics.


The song has an upbeat tempo and a mix of different genres including jazz, hip hop, and R&B. Masego showcases his versatility as a musician, as he improvises on the saxophone throughout the song. “I Had A Vision” is a celebration of diversity, ambition, and independence, while also being a catchy and enjoyable song.
