MELROSE Lyrics

[Intro: Playboi Carti]
Schyeah

[Verse 1: Kanye West]
Mama told me hella times
“Never trust a strobelite”
They break all, break all law
They can’t keep us down
Do you believe in the light? Do you believe in the light?
This kind of fight? This kind of night?
This kind of night? This kind of night?
This kind of fight? This kind of Christ?

[Chorus: Kanye West, Ty Dolla $ign & Playboi Carti]
Now you got me back on Melrose
Just spent a hundred racks tryna get home (Puss’)
She tryna double back to Rodeo (Puss’)
Tellin’ me I’m too ghetto

[Verse 2: Playboi Carti]
Uh, way too much smoke, I need more ammo (Phew, phew)
Rock star from the hood, I got a gun and a rose
We done took off with a couple hoes, I’m tryna line some more
And I almost took her home, but she start a lot of smoke
Uh, every day I’m just him, every day she wanna scheme
She wanna borrow my jet, she wanna be on my team
Kiss on me like menthol, I’m tryna bust in her mouth
Tell ’em bring the bags to the house, but we can’t go to the mall

[Chorus: Kanye West, Ty Dolla $ign & Playboi Carti]
Now you got me back on Melrose
Spent a hundred racks tryna get home
She tryna double back to Rodeo
To tellin’ me I’m too ghetto
Now you got me back on Melrose
Spent a hundred racks tryna get home (Puss’)
She tryna double back to Rodeo (Puss’, puss’)
To tellin’ me I’m too ghetto (Puss’)

[Verse 3: Ty Dolla $ign]
Mama told me watch them girls (Ooh yeah, ooh yeah)
They playin’ independent, I know she gon’ spend it
Say that pussy mine even if that pussy rented
I’m not the first junkie, I know somebody done rid it
She not innocent, but I’m into it
Say she love me, I don’t believe her, but I love the sentiment
They say that I done copped a fever, I been fuckin’ a foreign bitch
And I’m foreign, bitch
Still keep a couple hoes on the block (Uh)
First time seen a trunk in the front
Rock star, we ain’t never no punks (Uh)
Stadiums, we done sold out a bunch (Uh)
Actress eat this dick up for lunch (Uh)
New ass, ain’t did a squat or a crunch
Melrose, yeah, before I could turn home (Uh)

[Chorus: Kanye West, Ty Dolla $ign & Playboi Carti]
Now you got me back on Melrose
Spent a hundred racks tryna get home
She tryna double back to Rodeo (Ha)
To tellin’ me I’m too ghetto (Ha, ha)
Now you got me back on Melrose (Puss’, puss’, uh)
Spent a hundred racks tryna get home (Puss’)
She tryna double back to Rodeo (Puss’, puss’)
To tellin’ me I’m too ghetto (Puss’)

MELROSE Lyrics Meaning

[Intro: Playboi Carti]
The song opens with Playboi Carti’s signature ad-lib, “Schyeah,” setting the tone for a high-energy, braggadocious track. His introduction serves as a hype cue, signaling the listener to prepare for an intense, unfiltered ride through the world of excess and opulence.

[Verse 1: Kanye West]
Kanye reflects on his mother’s warnings, cautioning him against the allure of fast-paced, artificial lifestyles. The reference to a “strobelite” suggests the blinding distractions of fame, wealth, and nightlife. His rhetorical questioning about light and faith introduces a deeper contemplation of purpose, hinting at spiritual struggles and the search for meaning in a superficial world. The repetition of “this kind of night” and “this kind of Christ” juxtaposes indulgence with redemption, emphasizing the inner battle between temptation and faith.

[Chorus: Kanye West, Ty Dolla $ign & Playboi Carti]
The chorus encapsulates the song’s themes of reckless spending, materialism, and societal perception. Kanye highlights his extravagant lifestyle by mentioning a hundred-rack expense just to get home, implying that luxury has become routine. The reference to a woman wanting to “double back to Rodeo” suggests her attachment to high-end fashion and status, while her criticism of him being “too ghetto” points to the lingering stigma of his origins despite his wealth.

[Verse 2: Playboi Carti]
Playboi Carti embraces his rockstar persona, describing a lifestyle of excess, danger, and allure. He juxtaposes street credibility (“I got a gun and a rose”) with his newfound status, reinforcing the conflict between his past and present. His lines about taking women home and navigating unpredictable situations highlight the chaotic yet thrilling nature of his fame. Despite the grandeur, the verse conveys an underlying sense of disconnection, where indulgence is a fleeting escape rather than fulfillment.

[Chorus: Kanye West, Ty Dolla $ign & Playboi Carti]
Repeating the chorus reinforces the contrast between lavish spending and personal emptiness. The repetition of “too ghetto” underscores the ongoing struggle of being accepted in elite circles while staying true to one’s roots. The tone shifts between pride and frustration, emphasizing the contradictions of fame and societal expectations.

[Verse 3: Ty Dolla $ign]
Ty Dolla $ign brings a more cynical perspective, warning against manipulative women who exploit wealth for their gain. He acknowledges their independence but exposes the transactional nature of relationships in his world. The mention of a “rented” love interest suggests temporary attachments fueled by materialism rather than genuine connection. He continues to embrace the rockstar image, boasting about his status while subtly revealing the emptiness behind the glamor. The final lines highlight his dominance in the music industry, solidifying his identity as both a performer and a cultural force.

[Chorus: Kanye West, Ty Dolla $ign & Playboi Carti]
The final chorus drives home the song’s central themes, cementing the idea that, despite immense success, the pursuit of validation and fulfillment remains ongoing. The playful yet haunting repetition of “puss’” adds a raw, unapologetic energy, mirroring the chaotic yet captivating essence of MELROSE.
