Hey Jane Lyrics

[Intro: Bonita Smith]
Always, always, always wear a condom
Don't trust-
[Verse 1: Tyler, The Creator]
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 cannot 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 (That's dumb as fuck)
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, with 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
[Verse 2: Tyler, The Creator]
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
[Intro: Bonita Smith]
The intro features Bonita Smith’s stern reminder about using protection, setting a serious tone from the outset. This statement hints at the themes of responsibility and caution that will unfold in the narrative, reinforcing the weight of the choices the couple now faces.
[Verse 1]
Tyler opens with his reaction to the news, blending shock with support for Jane. While he initially tries to comfort her, he is overwhelmed by his own anxieties, questioning whether he is ready to take on fatherhood. Tyler highlights the bittersweet bond between them, noting similarities in their pasts, such as the absence of their fathers. Yet, as he reflects on their lack of a stable foundation, he grapples with his conflicting emotions—torn between love and the fear of losing his freedom. Tyler’s inner conflict becomes clear as he contemplates their relationship's unsteady ground and his desire to preserve his own sense of identity, revealing a complex, raw honesty about his fears and regrets.
[Verse 2]
Jane’s perspective brings a contrasting depth to the narrative. Her verse reflects her own struggles with the decision and her doubts about Tyler's commitment. At thirty-five, she faces the biological reality of her body and wonders if this might be her last chance for motherhood. She wrestles with whether she should go through with it alone, showing strength and independence but also vulnerability. Her concerns over societal pressures and her own ambitions highlight a deep-seated desire for autonomy. As Jane considers the idea of moving back to London to maintain peace, she acknowledges the possible end of her relationship with Tyler, underscoring her inner turmoil and her reluctance to face the judgment and unsolicited advice from others.
