What you wanna try

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Detroit
Trying get that Mulah
(Yeah yeah yeah)
I'm in Detroit with Khadijah
Fighting feelings, rolling weed, yeah
Midnight moments, foreign vehicles
Fifteen minutes of fame or
Fifteen minutes away from
Finding love in a waveform
Is you someone to wait for?
Is you tryna stay on the ride
Or is you tryna, is you tryna leave the vibe?
Take you to the hotel if you wanna slide
Renaissance drive, baby, make a right
Is you tryna fall for the night
Or is you tryna, is tryna fall for life?
City full of people, you got options right?
Baskin robins, baby, what you wanna try?
What's your flavor?
Tell me, what's your flavor?
What's your flavor?
Tell me, what's your flavor?
Issa Wang Dang Thang
West side 7-mile slang
Coney Island Hangs
Tell me, what's your flavor?
I think she want me for my loot
I think she wanna get some food
So thick that body make a man commute
I think she want her
Fifteen minutes of fame or
Fifteen minutes away from
Finding love in a waveform
Is you someone to wait for
Is you tryna stay on the ride
Or is you tryna, is you tryna leave the vibe?
Take you to the hotel if you wanna slide
Renaissance drive, baby, make a right
Is you tryna fall for the night
Or is you tryna, is tryna fall for life?
City full of people, you got options right?
Baskin robins, baby, what you wanna try?
What's your flavor?
Tell me, what's your flavor?
What's your flavor?
Tell me, what's your flavor?
Issa Wang Dang Thang
West side 7-mile slang
Coney Island Hangs
Tell me, what's your flavor?
In "What You Wanna Try," Masego is taking us on a journey to Detroit with his companion Khadijah. The song is about the pursuit of wealth ("Trying to get that mulah") and finding love in unexpected places while experiencing the moment ("Midnight moments, foreign vehicles"). The lyrics ponder if the person he is with is in it for the long haul or just a temporary fling.
The chorus, "What's your flavor? Tell me, what's your flavor?" repeats four times in the song, and it signifies Masego's desire to know the real personality of the person he is interested in - what makes them unique and stands out from others. This is further emphasized in the bridge, " Issa Wang Dang Thang, West side 7-mile slang, Coney Island Hangs. Tell me, what's your flavor?"
Masego also takes a moment to acknowledge his wealth and suggests that some women could be interested in him merely for his money. He then leaves the decision up to his companion, leaving her with the question "Is you tryna stay on the ride or is you tryna leave the vibe?"
Overall, "What You Wanna Try" is a laid-back track that combines jazz and hip-hop with Masego's signature saxophone. The song highlights the importance of staying in the present moment, choosing the right companions, and being true to oneself while enjoying what life has to offer.

i love how there's 3 different references happening in this song; the intro being masego's own song i had a vision, tom's diner and what your flava? by craig david. personally, this is a perfect example in current music on how to interpolate/sample while creating something new and addictive

Masego, this new album is an absolute masterpiece. I have been recommending it to everyone I can. I have to force myself not to listen on repeat because I never want to tire of it. You’ve made a lifetime fan out of me.
@TeyanThuny
Unfortunately not everyone can appreciate music like this it’s too specific. You must have great taste to like this.
