SHAWTY FISHIN'
masego Lyrics

Yeah, the net
The singer begins by mentioning the net, which can be interpreted as a metaphor for the various tools we use in life to catch things we desire or need.

Shawty, shawty fishin', fishin'
The repetition of 'fishin'' implies that the singer is trying to catch a specific kind of 'shawty' (a romantic partner or someone to spend time with).

Yeah, that net, listen (Ow)
The singer reiterates their focus on the metaphorical net, asking the listener to pay closer attention to it by adding 'listen' and 'ow.'

Blame the net, blame the net
The artist acknowledges that sometimes things don't go the way we want them to, and we tend to place blame on the tools we used rather than our own decisions.

Blame the net, ow, blame the net
The addition of 'ow' adds emphasis to the consequences of our decisions, which can hurt like physical pain.

On the neck, on the neck
The singer shifts focus to physical intimacy with their desired partner, specifically kissing on the neck.

On the neck, now on the neck
The repetition of 'on the neck' implies that the singer is enjoying the feeling of being physically close to their partner.

On the neck, on the neck on the neck, yeah
The addition of 'yeah' emphasizes the pleasure and intimacy the artist is feeling.

Noah's ark in this thang
The artist uses a metaphorical reference to Noah's ark to describe the crowded and chaotic environment they are in.

Pour it dark, I'm insane two by two nigga
The artist admits to being slightly unhinged (insane) while touching on the idea of people grouping together in pairs (two by two) to survive.

Louis Clark, I mean Lane
The singer references a fictional or real person named Louis Clark/Lane, but it's not entirely clear what this means aside from perhaps adding to the chaos and crowded nature of the environment.

Moses part with da' cane (La da da da)
The artist loosely references the biblical story of Moses parting the Red Sea with his cane, further emphasizing the idea of a chaotic and crowded space.

In deep blue nigga (Whale cry and real loud)
The singer describes their environment as being deep under water with the sound of whale cries in the background, adding to the overall chaos and confusion.

Uh, water goat, water tribe
These references are unclear but perhaps reference some specific culture or mythological aspect that the singer is drawn to.

Lotta boats, lotta tides blue lagoon nigga
The crowded and chaotic environment is emphasized again with the mention of lots of boats and tides in a blue lagoon.

Got a rope, got a guy
The artist seems to be saying that they have everything they need, perhaps to catch their desired 'shawty.'

Get a coat, get a guide blue monsoon nigga
The addition of 'blue monsoon' implies that the environment may become even more chaotic or harsh, and preparation is necessary.

There go one, there go two (yeah, yeah)
The singer seems to be observing something or someone, possibly their 'shawty' of choice.

Get the net, get the food
The singer is now suggesting that it's time to use the tools they've prepared in order to 'catch' their desired partner and sustain themselves.

I'm shawty fishin' (Oh, oh oh)
The artist repeats the phrase 'shawty fishin',' which seems to encapsulate the overall goal of the song - trying to catch or attract a specific romantic or sexual partner.

Help me out, help me out
The addition of 'help me out' adds a sense of urgency to the artist's plea for a partner.

See Masego Live get tickets as low as $54
This line is likely an advertising plug for buying tickets to see Masego perform live, and doesn't relate to the song's content.

This dame got a lotta history
The singer is likely describing their desired partner, implying that they have a lot of baggage or past experiences that make them a more complex person.

Got a lotta lipstick barlow, kiss Kate
The addition of 'lipstick barlow' likely implies that the partner is very feminine or takes care of their appearance meticulously.

Kill 'em with the wrist game
The singer may be using the metaphorical language of 'killing' to describe the power or confidence their partner exudes when performing small actions like moving their wrist.

(Bye bye, see ya, see ya)
This perhaps emphasizes the idea of their partner being elusive or hard to catch, and thus the need for the singer to be more strategic or attentive in their pursuit.

Shawty money long like (Nia, Nia)
The singer is likely describing their partner as being wealthy or having a lot of money, which perhaps adds to their overall appeal.

'Kay she swam to me
The artist is describing their desired partner as 'swimming' towards them, which perhaps implies that they are making moves to get closer or showing outward signs of interest.

Angel fish, and she glistening
The artist continues to use biological or mythological references to describe their partner, perhaps emphasizing their ethereal or otherworldly qualities.

Heard she from the deep
The mention of 'the deep' adds to the overall theme of water and aquatic life in the song, and may suggest that the singer's partner is also complex or difficult to understand.

Literally, metaphysically
The singer may be playing with the idea of 'deepness' or complexity and saying that their partner embodies that not only on a literal level (they are from the deep) but also on a more intangible or spiritual level (metaphysically).

Every time she see me she like ('Tio, Tio')
The repetition of 'Tio' suggests that this is a nickname or term of endearment used by the artist's partner when they see them.

crazy for the green just like (Cee-Lo, Cee-Lo)
The addition of 'crazy for the green' likely implies that the artist's partner is financially motivated, and perhaps the use of 'Cee-Lo' as a homophone for 'see low' is a nod to this idea.

One more time, one more time
The artist repeats their earlier requests for help or assistance in catching their desired partner.
