About This Track

'B' opens Jaden's 2017 debut album 'SYRE', the first of four consecutive tracks whose titles spell the word BLUE. The song sets a melancholic tone, with Willow Smith and Pia Mia delivering a chorus that frames romantic devotion in biblical imagery, whilst Jaden's verse pivots sharply into present-day disillusionment. The contrast is deliberate: elevated language about Eden and divine creation gives way to blunt admissions of relationship fatigue and the pull of competing priorities. Jaden's verse abandons the mythic register entirely. He catalogues the small erosions of intimacy, the shift from affection to routine conflict, before the bars widen to take in his own ambition and the world's disorder in the same breath. The outro gestures towards escape, an ocean as refuge, but the track ends mid-thought, unresolved. It is an opening statement that refuses to settle into a single mood, establishing the album's interest in emotional flux over coherent narrative.

"B" is a track by Jaden, from the album SYRE, released 17th November 2017. Full lyrics are available below.

Lyrics

B

[Chorus: Willow Smith & Pia Mia]

Thy hair inspired God to make the breeze

Thy lips inspired God to make a man

And from his rib an angel born as Eve

Formed into flesh and promised him her hand

[Verse 1: Willow Smith & Pia Mia]

Why do I cry at night still?

Can't sleep without the NyQuil

Stressed out because we fight

Will we ever get this right?

[Chorus: Willow Smith, Pia Mia & Jaden]

'Cause thy hair inspired God to make the breeze

Thy lips inspired God to make a man (No more)

And from his rib an angel born as Eve

Formed into flesh and promised him her hand (So lay me)

[Verse 2: Willow Smith, Pia Mia & Jaden]

So lay me down in Eden under stars

And show me why it's us that he will choose (Take me home, take me home)

If happy, I would die here in your arms

Don't cry because the ocean makes me blue

So blue, so blue

[Bridge: Willow Smith]

So blue, so blue, so blue, oh

So blue, so blue, so blue, oh

So blue, so blue, so blue, oh

So blue, so blue

(Thy hair inspired God to make the breeze)

[Verse 3: Jaden Smith]

Well lately baby, I don't give a fuck

I'm sick of kissing up, I used to miss us taking pics and kissing

Now you miss the club, I pull my zipper up

Start to think "Wait, is this it for us?"—Nah

'Cause I fell for you

See I'm the living Icarus, relationships they suck

I'm lookin' around and girl what happened to me?

(What happened? What happened? What happened?)

They hate on me now but soon I'll be winning

And plaque after plaque, you will see it

And they mad at my accuracy

But my swaggy flow can't even rap to the beat

Better pass it to the chief, world is tragic and deceased

Cops selling crack in the street

But you look like the law

I know I broke your heart but I loved you from the start

Baby tell me all your secrets, baby you know this is hard

When I'm crying in your arms, staring at the stars, it's my—

[Outro: Jaden Smith]

I knew that there would come a day, when you would wanna

You-you would wanna, you-you would wanna run away

Take you to a sunny place

Girl, follow me into the ocean
