Ye Yo Lyrics
[Spoken]
Hey I'd like to thank the Creator for giving me this gift
And I'd like to thank you for being reflections of this gift
'Cause sometimes you feel like you're by yourself up in here
And um, no matter what anybody ever thinks, what anybody ever thinks
I still get cold when it's cold, get hungry when I'm hungry
Miss my mama when we're away, get tired
I'm a person, and I represent you
I'd like to dedicate this song to my baby Fly
Because I am her Yeyo
Yeyo means mother in Swahili
Ye yo, ye yo, ye yo ye yo
Help me
Ye yo, ye yo, ye yo ye yo
Ye yo yo
(Ye yo, yeo yo)
Sometimes, sometimes I get so lonely lonely lonely
(Ye yo, ye yo)
I feel all by myself up here
(Ye yo, ye yo)
That's when I take a minute to re-evaluate
(Ye yo, ye yo)
All of the things I think are special yeah
Ooh like, when you wake up in the morning (hey yo yo)
And you see the morning sun (hey yo yo)
And you need to know the world is on your side (hey yo yo)
Who do you run to?
Who can you turn to? (hey yo yo)
Come on
Then the evening comes to greet you
(Hey yo yo)
You need someone to hold you close
(Hey yo yo)
And you feel the need to rest your aching mind
(Hey yo yo)
Who can you run to?
Who can you turn to? (Hey yo yo)
Well see the sun's in the east and the moon reflects
Like the knowledge and wisdom I manifest (Hey yo yo)
If you wanna go to heaven lay up on my breast
I'm Ye yo, ye (Hey yo yo)
Well see the sun's in the east and the moon reflects
Like the knowledge and wisdom I manifest (Hey yo yo)
If you wanna go to heaven lay up on my breast
I'm Ye yo, ye (Hey yo yo)
Ye yo ye yo
Help me
Ye yo ye yo (Come on yall)
Ye yo ye yo (Ye yo)
Ye yo ye yo (Hey yo yo)
Ooh Ye yo (Hey yo yo)
Hey yo yo
And it makes me so Oh
And it makes me so Oh
It makes me say Ooh, Ooh Ooh Ooh
Ooh (Ooh)
Oooh
ye ye ye ye yo
hey ye ye ye yo
Ye yo
Ye yo

aaa!! I listen to this everytime I'm down and it gets me through so well. very sad but beautiful
The start of the song is an obvious ploy to make her seem relatable to the listener. She likes to do this quite a bit, like in the live soul stage performance of honey she says something similar about us, the listeners, being reflections of her gift.
The main message of the song however seems to be about how we all have a certain need for a maternal figure or presence within our life.
The first part of the song after the spoken word section seems to be about her personal longing for a mother sometimes, "who do you run to? Who can you run to? (hey ye yo)"... The part after this she seems to change into the yeyo "I'm yeyo". Pretty obvious meaning.
