This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.
My friend showed me pictures of his kids
And all I could show him was pictures of my cribs
He said his daughter got a brand new report card (card)
And all I got was a brand new sports car
Uh
And my head keeps spinning
Can't stop having these visions
I gotta get wit' it
Ooh-hoo, ooh-hoo, ooh-hoo
And my head keeps spinning
I can't stop having these visions
I gotta get wit' it
Ooh-hoo, ooh-hoo, ooh-hoo
Dad cracked a joke all the kids laugh
But I couldn't hear 'em all the way in first class
Chased the good life my whole life long
Look back on my life and my life gone
Where did I go wrong?
And my head keeps spinning
Can't stop having these visions
I gotta get wit' it
Ooh-hoo, ooh-hoo, ooh-hoo
And my head keeps spinning
I can't stop having these visions
I gotta get wit' it
Ooh-hoo, ooh-hoo, ooh-hoo
I seen it, I seen it before
I seen it, I seen it before
I've seen it, I've seen it before
I seen it, I seen it before
My God-sister gettin' married by the lake
But I couldn't figure out who I want to take
Bad enough that I showed up late
I had to leave 'fore they even cut the cake
Welcome to Heartbreak
And my head keeps spinning
Can't stop having these visions
I gotta get wit' it
Ooh-hoo, ooh-hoo, ooh-hoo
And my head keeps spinning
I can't stop having these visions
I gotta get wit' it
Ooh-hoo, ooh-hoo, ooh-hoo
Ooh-hoo
Ooh-hoo
Ooh-hoo
And I, and I can't stop
No, no, I can't stop
No, no, no, no, I can't stop
No, no, no, no, I can't stop
Can't stop, I can't stop, I can't stop
No, no, no, no
No, no, no, no
No, no, no, no, oh-whoa
No, no, I can't stop
No, can't stop having these visions
I gotta get wit' it
Ooh-hoo, ooh-hoo, ooh-hoo
Hoo-hoo
Ooh-hoo
Ooh, ooh-hoo

Ooh-hoo, ooh-hoo, ooh-hoo

Dad cracked a joke all the kids laugh
But I couldn't hear 'em all the way in first class
Chased the good life my whole life long
Look back on my life and my life gone
Where did I go wrong?
And my head keeps spinning
Can't stop having these visions
I gotta get wit' it
Ooh-hoo, ooh-hoo, ooh-hoo
