Hey Jane Lyrics

von Tyler, The Creator

Worum geht es in dem Song?

Der Song "Hey Jane" von Tyler ist ein intensives Gespräch zwischen zwei Personen, Jane und T, die mit der Nachricht eine...

Always, always, always wear a condom
Dont′ trust-

Hey Jane, we got the news and I ain't know what to do
I didn′t panic, I was comfortin' you
Still in shock, but damn, the late response, is this really true?
If it was bound to happen to me, I'm lucky it′s you

Hey Jane, your hair long and your legs long
And we can both relate to the fact that our dads gone
Couple good qualities on you, you can pass on
You′re not dumb, and your face good, and your head strong, look

Hey Jane, I know my mom'll be excited as hell
I know your mom′ll be excited as well
But people talk, so let's pretend we ain′t got no one to tell
I know our exes wanna see us in Hell, this ain't about them, no
This ain′t about kinfolk, this our decision with a small window
I wanna jump out, but if you wanna stay in the room, I can not bug out
Time blockin' the driveway, I can not pull out, nah, I didn't pull out

Wow, I′m disappointed in me, this ain′t like me
How can I be reckless? This ain't my lifestyle
Never had no scare in my life ′til now
Ain't in the space to raise no goddamn child

Hey Jane, I′m terrified, petrified
I don't wanna give my freedom up, or sanitize it
This my fault, the results are justified
I fucked up, I′m stressed out, I'm dead inside

But, hey Jane, who am I to come bitch and complain?
You gotta deal with all the mental and physical change
All the heaviest emotions, and the physical pain
Just to give the kid the man last name? Fuck that
Our resumes unmet, the bus stopped that light
We ain't make it to love yet
Took a shortcut to forever, I′m upset (Fuck)

′Cause we was in the back, no strings, but our tongues wet
We haven't boat tripped, we haven′t argued
We still learnin' each other, I don′t know all you
And you don't know all me, how am I to live with
That is not a good foundation to have kids with

Or maybe it is, maybe it′s not, just not yet
Maybe that's a blessing in disguise, not a regret
Look Jane, it's your choice at the end of the day
Just know I support either way, no pressure

Hey T, we got the news, and I forgot how to breathe
In a panic, you was comfortin′ me
Damn, what do we do, what are the odds? Is this really true?
If it was bound to happen to me, I′m lucky it's you

Hey T, your legs long and your waist thin
And we can both relate to the fact we got great skin
You′re not dumb, and your energy is a good mood
A lil' weird, but overall you′s a good dude, huh

Hey T, how would you feel if we kept it a secret?
It's a voice inside me begging me to keep it
I′m thirty-five and my ovaries might not reset
I don't wanna live my whole life feelin' regret
Damn, a feeling you can never understand (I can′t)
You just hope to God I get my period again
I was twenty-four and-
Look, I don′t wanna go through that experience again

Hey T, things happen, no one is wrong (It was an accident)
But I don't need to stress, I can do this alone
My mom did it, your mom did it, this ain′t a pride thing
This a more "I prefer to have peace of mind" thing
I got my own bread, I don't need you to buy things
′Cause my needs don't include your money and status
I can move back to London and avoid any static
Between us, no need to make it hard like a callus

There′s too much on your palette, this is really traumatic for me
I can raise it by myself, I'm dramatic, you see
Pushing people out my life is a habit, I see
Can you crack a window so I can breathe?

Hey T, I'm scared too (I am too)
It was so hard for me to tell you, to tell truth
I ain′t wanna tell me, I look in the mirror, like, damn, I failed me
I′m scared to tell my momma, scared to tell my bitches
Scared of all the people who don't know what′s in our business
Scared of all they advice, and my intuitions
Scared of not knowin', but too scared to make decisions

I said I wouldn′t do this again
It's a lose if I lose lil′ bro in the end
And it's a lose-lose, if I lose you as a friend
I been losin' myself, it ain′t no one to defend me
I got a mini version of myself livin′ in me
You pullin' out your hair, I walk around in a frenzy

I′m feelin' the resentment every time you get near me
My body has a clock, and I don′t know where the end be
Emotions throwin' around like a frisbee
My titties gettin′ bigger and I'm cravin' a ten piece

T, no matter the decision of day, I just want us to be cool either way
No pressure
