Classified – “Wonder” music video
“I wonder if this liquor’s gonna have me twisted here tonight. Have us up until the morning, wonder why we missed the flight. I wonder, I wonder why I don’t watch battle rap. Ever since Pat passed, except his benefits. Shoutout to Organik for that and everybody else who did the planning for that. Y’all took my breath away like a panic attack. I wonder if the baby that we lost in my wife’s belly was supposed to be my son. And I wonder if it happened for a reason, happened for a reason. My God, I still believe in, but I’m questioning these demons.” – lyrics
“Wonder” paints a picture of an individual grappling with personal loss, societal challenges, substance use, and questions about identity and existence. It’s a profound reflection on life, questioning the ‘whys’ and ‘hows’ of reality and trying to find meaning amidst struggles.
“Why they say I’m underground but still ain’t got no gravesite?”
“I’ve had a lot of time to think over the years…really any time I’m not on the go my mind is usually racing. I think a lot of people are like that too…just wondering about things. It’s like when you go to bed at night and all of your thoughts come at once, this is what that song reflects. Thinking about various personal what-ifs, questioning society, wondering why things are the way they are. The things we wonder can feel personal, but really, we aren’t that unique. This song connects my personal thoughts to what everyone else might wonder about too, giving a glimpse into both my life and our shared experiences.” – Classified explained
“Wonder” skillfully illustrates an individual wrestling with intimate sorrow and daily contemplations. It offers a deep introspection on life, inquisitive about the mysteries and mechanics of this world while endeavoring to unearth significance amidst life’s trials.
