Mumu post...
music is about rythm & tunes, no one really gives a heck bout em lyrics...

More so, Music is a language of its own, Music is Art that corronates different views...

good thinking
the writer never thing about the language ..its different from foreign music
we enjoy some musics here in africa entirely based on street language,slangs and more .

Lyricism and songwriting are the most outstanding qualities ever shown by musicians but there are still hideous and erroneous feats made by the so-called musicians in songs. You would wonder if those songs were properly vetted by mixers and A&R executives before they passed on to marketing and licensing departments of record labels. Independent and upcoming musicians making these blunders in lyrics is forgivable but when superstars make these errors, we should stripe them off charts, awards and achievements especially if there is an expectation behind the brand. Recently, we have seen trolls on the rise about how superstar musicians have messed up a good song just because they were not apt in their lyricism. In rare cases, flops are allowed in lyricism if the song is unfinished or a comedic type.

Missy Elliot

Missy Elliot is still one of the best female hip/hop breakouts in the history of music. At a young age, the female rapper struck relationships with the best songwriters and producers in music especially Timbaland but that did not stop her from embarrassing herself on ‘Work it’ as she shrieked these lyrics confidently: “Take my thong off and my ass go boom!”. This is definitely an incoming tsunami.

Naira Marley

The Nigerian Popstar had a great year in 2019 but in that same year he made lines which found their way into the Nigerian pop culture notably one that music lovers can remember from “Soapy”:

“Inside life, go to the five 5 alive.” It is forgiven as the song became a nationwide hit even with the controversy surrounding the singer.

Coldplay

“Lights will guide you home, and ignite your bones.” Did Coldplay ask fans to ignite their bones? Did the lead singer tell fans that the lights will lead them home after a show? So many things must be going through your mind also. But “fix you” is a hit nonetheless.

R.Kelly

Music lovers have cancelled Robert and we are here to remind you about one of his lyrics we can never forget – this same line brought traces about his sexual crimes from “You remind me of something” and here it is: “Girl you look just like my car, I wanna wax it.” How on earth did a girl end up looking like a car? Was she made in Vietnam?

Davido

Davido’s attempt to flow in rhythmic pattern in revival single “If” failed and we are still shocked that none of those people in the studio failed to correct this line: “My number one itutu sipping burukutu”. David’s lover must be a drunkard.

I perceive you did science that is why you fail to understand that the difference between music and literature,is the rhythm applied to music.if you did literature,you will know that there's something known as poetic license which means as a poet,you could use word to suit your purpose.and also it shows you have little or no knowledge figures of speech.if not,you wouldn't criticize r.kelly for his use of simile to express himself,and also miss Elliott for using onomatopoeia.

cold play made use of a figure of speech known as personification.

This remind us of  Bruno Mars – Grenade

There was this line he sang :

'Should’ve known you was trouble
From the first kiss
Had your eyes wide open
Why were they open'?


The only way he could know her eyes were open would be if he had his own eyes open.

he was recording the whole make out session.lol

You have to make an exception for "Fix You" the lyrical craftsmanship of Chris Martin was great.
"Lights will guide you home" is a metaphor for good souls healing you back to health. They will ‘fix you’ back to your safe zones. So in the chorus, Chris Martin says that he will be her ‘light’ that fixes her back to health.
"Ignite your bones” is also as harmless as rest of the song. This line means that the support you receive from those people around you will restore your energy and give some life into your fading soul. It simply means they are able to re-ignite yourself to former glory.
These lines clearly set the pace, mood and context to the song, and doesn’t deserve to be on that list.

One of my best songs ever. Dude probably doesn't understand the lyrics.

you claim to be a player but I fvcked your wife.. Hit em up_2pac

And you had to mention the whole post. Lazy man

Yes. It's an essential part of music

mecuries:
It all falls down to the lack of content write ups from our musicians,they say it as it is forgetting that music is also poetry

yeah, especially those that ve 'blown'. We also have a few who really are lyrically sound but people don't listen to them..

Felixamos:
I wish you really understood music...

You wish I understand what you understood music to be, is that what yo mean?

Just like I said, music is art so is painting. We all read different meanings to art, same thing with music.

if I remember correctly, he wrote the song when his wife or someone close to him lost someone. He wrote it as an encouragement and that he'll stand by him...

The op doesn't know there is a story behind some songs..

Didnt say chicken head and nothing in the song goes on to suggest she's one.

Or maybe it's because of the genres I listen to..

Tekno says hi

Hahaha, that Tekno guy, and I heard some time that he studied music, I don't know how true. His lines are almost always meaningless.
