The meaning of the lyrics of the song "WHAT'S GOOD" by the artist "Tyler, the Creator"

Contents

In WHAT'S GOOD, Tyler, the Creator, raps about his resilience and success despite facing doubts and criticism. He compares himself to Igor (possibly referring to the mute servant character from horror movies), emphasizing his determination to ignore naysayers. The phrases "Turn the lights on for me!" and "I see the light" can be interpreted as metaphors for achieving the long-awaited recognition and success.

He mocks his critics ("Red nose, red nose, you nggas all clowns"), who are now forced to witness his triumph.

The lyrics contain references to material wealth ("new Le Fleurs on the floor," "new suit, new shoes"), which emphasize his newfound status.

The lines "It's hard to believe in God when there are no mirrors around, how?" may indicate his complex relationship with religion and belief in himself as the only true guide.

The second part of the song is Tyler's reflections after surviving a car accident. He mentions "green-haired angels" (possibly hinting at hallucinations), describes his state and feelings.

The key moment is the realization that he cheated death ("I have no one to fool, I cheated death"). He came back renewed, ready for new achievements.

Turn my lights on!

How the fuck you quiet with the mic on?

I don't get anxiety, you Sam Bowie-ass ngas,

I just get my Mike on.

Y'all said I wouldn't go nowhere, I took the detour,

When you see the someone in the crack right by the seashore?

When you see them brand new le FLEURS on the floor?

If the cop says my name, bitch, I'm Igor!

Yuh, ayo!

Yeah, yeah!

Let's go, let's go, I ain't playin' around,

Red nose, red nose, all you ngas is clowns,

Ngas turnin it up, well, shit, I'm tearin' it down,

Hard to believe in God when there ain't no mirrors around.

What's up?

Uh-huh, ayo!

Uh-huh,

Yeah, yo!

Bitch!

Runnin' 'til the rims fall,

Had them ngas and the cops lookin' jigsaw,

I done fucked around and turned into the big dog,

Better get gone, get caught? Bitch, I think not.

Yeah, new suit, new boots, same ngas, like what?

Lukewarm ass ngas always wanna talk,

I'm hot, I'm heat to the core like Earth,

Don't touch, don't go, ngas might get bucked.

Yo, yuh, ayo!

Yeah, yeah!

Let's go, let's go, I ain't playin' around,

Red nose, red nose, all you ngas is clowns,

Ngas turnin it up, well, shit, I'm tearin' it down,

Hard to believe in God when there ain't no mirrors around.

What's up?

Whoop, uh-huh,

Yeah, bitch!

Yeah!

I see the light.

Um, I see the light.

I see the light.

I see the light.

Dracula, Dracula, Dracula,

Suck me first, I might get back at ya. (I see the light)

Is that shit cool? Change the aperture.

Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha, I can't laugh at ya, (I see the light)

This the shit that make you nervous,

'Bout to go buck wild, nga Steve Irwin, (I see the light)

Sick of that Claritin, I'm on my third one,

Ngas talkin' reckless, I never heard 'em. (I see the light)

I see the light.

I see the light.

I see the light.

(Buck, don't touch, though, my ngas might get buck, don't touch, though)

I see the light.

(Buck, don't touch, though, my ngas might get buck, don't touch, though)

I see the light.

That car crash couldn't take me, (Woo, ha)

Green haired angels all around me, (Uh)

No answer why, no tears to cry, bitch, I'm alive. (I see the)

That wasn't my endpoint, like V-neck,

I ain't have nobody to cheat on, I cheat death,

New album, no repeat, I reset,

Everything I deliver swingin' like New Jack.

Two of 'em, I total, Kim and Pam,

Me and Death, universe plays middle man,

Quick nap, kick back like horse eyes shut,

Loud sound, no stretch,

Mothafuckas really thought I died

Hopin' they could take a spot,

Nga not knowin' that I'm one of one,

And they some Helen Keller-ass ngas,

And I got my eyes open now I see the...

Light.

I see the light.

I see the light (I said)

I see the light

I see the light

I don't know what's harder, letting go or just being okay with it.
