Wanna
t| Lyrics

School Of Roses, baby
Addressing the listener using the title of the album 'School Of Roses'

I feel like it don't matter anymore
The singer feels like nothing matters anymore

Used to the way the world turns
The singer is used to how the world works

But I must say it spinning really fast when I look at us
The singer is not used to the fast pace at which things are happening in their relationship

If I was just a few year younger
The singer wishes they were younger

Girl, I could be your boy wonder
The singer could be the listener's hero if they were younger

You could be my pre-madonna
The singer thinks of the listener as their high-maintenance girl

What I'mma write for my daughter?
The singer is thinking about what they will write for their daughter

Got a ring on my finger
The singer is married

But it feels so guilty to get to slip it off when I fold my hands
The singer feels guilty about taking off their wedding ring

She been looking at me all night long, and I know I can
The listener has been looking at the singer all night and the singer wants to act on their feelings

I just wanna give you my number
The singer just wants to give the listener their phone number

The girl like snow in the summer
The listener is like a rare occurrence, something unexpected or surprising

Yeah, she's a conundrum
The listener is a mystery to the singer

I keep it undercover but I
The singer is keeping their feelings hidden

Shouldn't, but I wanna
The singer knows they shouldn't act on their feelings, but they want to

Throw a quarter in the sky before it falls to the ground
A metaphor for taking a chance before it's too late

I gotta call heads or tails
The singer has to make a choice and live with the consequences

Throw my nickels and my pennies and my dimes in a wishing well
The singer is making a wish

Wanna be your triple digits
The singer wants to be a significant part of the listener's life

Be a millionaire for a minute
The singer wants to experience success, even if it's only temporary

Make some lemonade with these lemons
The singer wants to turn a negative situation into a positive one

But I could barely pay attention
The singer is having trouble focusing

I don't even know why I'm signed to a record label with an audience
The singer is questioning their place in the music industry

'Cause nobody in CHH a superstar
The singer is saying that there are no superstars in Christian Hip Hop

They see Lecrae go crazy
People are noticing Lecrae's success

But I don't wanna swim in the mainstream
The singer does not want to compromise their values to become mainstream

Life guard, you better come save me
The singer needs help staying true to themselves

It could be a long way down, maybe
The singer is aware of the risks of being authentic in the music industry

Told myself to please stay strong
The singer is trying to stay strong

But she stayed long and the DJ's going
The listener is staying longer and the party is still going

She ain't going home and why?
The singer is questioning the listener's intentions

I wanna say bye
The singer wants to leave

I wanna get away
The singer wants to escape the situation

Don't you think of me and her
The singer is asking the listener not to involve them and their partner in any drama

She can't go
The artist's partner cannot leave with them

And please stay close
The singer wants the listener to stay close by

And you know how it goes
The singer is saying that the listener knows how difficult their situation is

Gotta say bye
The singer has to leave

Man, why this always gotta happen to me?
The singer is frustrated that they always find themselves in difficult situations

A song of a siren caught my iris
The singer is enticed by the listener's beauty

Slow wind from her island just crashed into the
The listener is from a different world, but they collided with the singer's world

Coastline and Poseidon attacks the new me
The singer feels like they have changed because of the listener's influence

You know she know she bad, Mike Jackson-ily
The listener knows they are attractive, like Michael Jackson was confident in his artistry

And she just wanna thrill a man
The listener wants to give the singer a rush of emotion

Then a hand, scribbling off of the wall
The singer sees a message written on a wall

Started with:
The message on the wall started with

Dog, really she just wanna kill a man
The message on the wall reveals the listener's true intentions

Hope floats boats
Hope can keep things afloat, but not forever

But when Gilligan’s on the wheel again
When things are out of control like in the TV show Gilligan's Island

And he’s fiddling with demonic riddles on that Ritalin
The singer is saying that a demonic force is taking control

And the minnows in sin
Small actions can lead to larger consequences

In the wind
The future is uncertain

Like in the willows and spinning like ceiling fans
The singer is referencing the unpredictability of the future

You just need to heal her man
The singer is asking for help to heal the listener

Absolutely!
The singer enthusiastically agrees

She just wanna share my light, I stole that line from an ab-soul loose leaf
The listener wants to share the singer's creativity

Hold it Gray
The singer is pausing for a moment

I know the pain
The singer can relate to the listener's struggles

Tryna be the holy homie protege
The singer is trying to be a good role model

Then I sank in the ocean
The singer feels like they have failed

And can't swim good
The singer is not equipped to handle the difficulties of the situation

Frankly, this overdose on Novacain hurts the feel
The singer is experiencing emotional pain even though they are numb

Abba, Father, shouldn't but I wanna got a wife and daughter
The singer is asking for strength while admitting to their desires

Water water all around me
The singer is surrounded by water

Yet the thirst is real
The singer is still thirsty

I’m praying
The singer is praying for help

My eyes closed, I’m swangin'
The singer is swaying with eyes closed, lost in their thoughts

Aiming for the fence but the game is dangerous
The singer is trying to reach their goal, but the journey is difficult

And the King stayed hanging
The singer is referencing Jesus' crucifixion

Save him
The singer is asking for salvation

Show em how Nothing was the same then
The singer is suggesting that things will change
