You've got to trust your instinct
and let go of regret
You've got to bet on yourself now star
because thats your best bet

Watch me now with a wicked and wild and i said
we come with the funky style
that gets us known for the show
and we'll mix the hip hop reggae if we say it is so
and fuck the naysayers because they don't mean a thing
because this is what style we bring

now it's morning but last night's on my mind
there's something i need to get off my chest
and no matter what may come to shine
the dream will always be mine

all mixed up you don't know what to do
next thing you turn around and find the person is you
thought a freak might be the thing
but the first could be the last
so just get off of your ass

all mixed up you don't know what to do
next ting you turn around and find the person is you
thought a freak might be the thing
but the first could be the last
so just get off of your ass

You've got to trust your instinct
and let go of regret
You've got to bet on yourself now star
because thats your best bet

watch me now with a wicked and wild
sick sick but got to have it
like bustin' in on a session but you got to call it quits
sick sick but just can't quit
fact that you don't even know makes you fully legit

now it's morning but last night's on my mind
there's something i need to get off my chest
and no matter what may come to shine
the dream will always be mine

you keep me coming
that is a gal that'l kill 'dem stunning
keep me coming
that is a gal that'l kill 'dem stunning

keep me coming
that is a gal that'l kill 'dem stunning
keep me coming
that is a gal that'l kill 'dem stunning

you make me nervous throat dry
my brain is emty don't know why
but i saw you doing something
which is really truly nothing
but you could bust me out all day

many moons since first i saw you
many moons since first we did the do
many moons since first i saw you
many moons since first we did the do

any why did i try when i knew it was no and
why did i try when i saw it was so
but save it for late when we should just let it skate
because the waiting feel is fine

    General Comment:Summary of the song:
    No matter who you are, where you are, be yourself. Don't let fame, or fortune, or poverty, change who you are.

    General Comment:watch me now with a wicked and wild
    sick sick but got to have it
    like bustin' in on a session but you got to call it quits
    sick sick but just can't quit
    fact that you don't even know makes you fully legit

    He cannot quit smoking and it makes him sick but hes got to have it and he dosn't even know what makes calling smoking quit legit.

    now it's morning but last night's on my mind
    there's something i need to get off my chest
    and no matter what may come to shine
    the dream will always be mine


    Its the next day but hes already thinking about the last time that he had smoked and no matter what hes gonna smoke.

    you keep me coming
    that is a gal that'l kill 'dem stunning
    keep me coming
    that is a gal that'l kill 'dem stunning

    Weed keeps him coming back for more "Gal" being mary jane keeps him back for more.


    you make me nervous throat dry -cotton mouth
    my brain is emty don't know why -Stoned probably stuck
    but i saw you doing something
    which is really truly nothing - all of this is nothing to help his life
    but you could bust me out all day -but he'd still rather smoke all day

    many moons since first i saw you
    many moons since first we did the do
    many moons since first i saw you
    many moons since first we did the do

    -many nights since he first smoked


    and why did i try when i knew it was no and
    why did i try when i saw it was so
    but save it for late when we should just let it skate
    because the waiting feel is fine


    Why did he even try to quit when he knows that he can't but hes not gonna worry about that right now now and just smoke and chill because it makes him feel just fine.


    Idk thats just my opinion and how i like to think of the song when I listen to it but maybe im completely wrong.

    General Comment:im pretty sure this song is not about a girl but about drugs.
    my friend explained it to me and it definitely makes sense,


    you make me nervous throat dry
    my brain is emty don't know why
    but i saw you doing something
    which is really truly nothing
    but you could bust me out all day

    thats about weed haha it makes sense if you've smoked.

    and the many moons part is about shrooms cause its like many SHrmoons hahah yeah it makes sense cause they trip you out idk i thought it was a good interpretation of the song. makes it cooler when you think about it like that.

    General Comment:PEACE EVERYONE...SO YEAH IM FROM CENTRAL JERZ AND THERE THIS CHICK I KNOW. WE MET ACTUALLY ON A DATING SITE AND WE DECIDED TO BE JUST STRICTLY FRIENDS 1ST, GET TO KNOW EACH OTHER AND SEE WHERE IT LEADS. SO HANGING OUT FOR A MONTH NOW,THEN WE GO TO A CONCERT THE NEXT DAY WE ARE TEXTN SAYS SHE DOESN'T FEEL THE ROMANCE. I DIDN'T EVEN ASK HER OUT SO I THINK SHE WAS NOTICING THAT I WAS GETTING INTO HER TOO FAST NOT KNOWING ANYTHING ABOUT HER FIRST.

    SO I THINK IM ALL MIXED UP U KNOW THE VERSE: All mixed up you dont know what to do
    Next thing you turn around and find the person is you
    Thought a freak might be the thing
    But the first could be the last so just get off your ass
    All mixed up you dont know what to do
    Next thing you turn around and find the person is you
    Thought a freak might be the thing
    But you know this will pass so just get off your ass

    WE ARE VERY SIMILAR IN PERSONALITY. SO ITS LIKE LOOKING INTO A MIRROR. BUT SHES NOT TRUSTING HER INSTINCTS. SHE HAS A LOT OF REGRET IN HER LIFE. WHEN WE CHILL SOMETIMES SHE MAKES ME NERVOUS AND MY THROAT DRY BUT THAT'S BECAUSE WE ARE NOT SOBER LOL SHE MAKES ME HAVE TROUBLE THINKING AND I DON'T KNOW WHY, JUST KEEP THINKING TO MYSELF HOW PERFECT SHE IS WE DON'T EVEN ARGUE ALWAYS TRY TO UNDERSTANDS EACH OTHERS PERSPECTIVES AND EVENTUALLY COME TO AN AGREEMENT.

    SO NOW ABOUT THIS ONE: And why did I try when I knew it was no and
    Why did I try when I saw it was so
    But save it for late we should just let it skate
    Cause the waiting feel is fine

    WAITING TO GET TO KNOW HER IS DEFINITELY WORTH THE WAIT. BECAUSE WE WILL ALWAYS HAVE SOMETHING TO TALK ABOUT.

    MAYBE U GUYS MAY NOT AGREE WITH ME ON THESE MEANINGS BUT U KNOW WHAT. I LIVE FOR MUSIC AND I HAVE TROUBLE EXPRESSING MYSELF SO EVERY SONG I HEAR I THINK ON MANY LEVELS. LIKE SYMBOLISM AND A PHILOSOPHICAL P.O.V.

    PEACE AND LOVE IM OUT
