Backpack Lyrics

You said "I come in peace" so I took you home
I gave you food and I gave you clothes
I taught you how to move your feet when the rhythms on
Still you wanna leave 'cause you feel alone

You don't know what they're like
If they know that you're alive
They're gonna try to take away the secrets of your planet's life
I know you must be upset, you lost your family in a wreck
But you gotta listen (listen, listen)

Don't try to find your spaceship
It might be out there waiting
Stay in my backpack forever
Stay in my backpack forever
(You know I gotta find my spaceship,
My planet's outside there waiting,
I can't stay in your backpack forever)
Stay in your backpack, backpack, backpack

Before you came around I was in a rut
Didn't have a friend, didn't know what it was
You taught how to dream and how to love
You're my best friend please listen to me

You don't know what they're like
If they know that you're alive
They're gonna try to take away the secrets of your planet's life
I know you must be upset, you lost your family in a wreck
But you gotta listen (listen, listen)

Don't try to find your spaceship
It might be out there waiting
Stay in my backpack forever
Stay in my backpack forever
(You know I gotta find my spaceship,
My planet's outside there waiting,
I can't stay in your backpack forever)
Stay in your backpack, backpack, backpack

Uh
Greetings, I fell from the sky
I'm from a different world I use Lil Wayne as a disguise
And my flying saucer crashed, I'm the only one that survived
I'm only taking over this planet since I arrived
I'm in a backpack, I'm ducking Men in Black
Yeah, I'm an alien, my swag is outta this world
Different galaxy, they try to capture me
When I die they gonna name this planet after me
Wayne's world (Wayne's world, Wayne's world)

Don't try to find your spaceship
It might be out there waiting
Stay in my backpack forever
Stay in my backpack forever
(You know I gotta find my spaceship,
My planet's outside there waiting,
I can't stay in your backpack forever)
Stay in your backpack, backpack, backpack

In our planet we don't kill one another
We don't take love for granted
It's a gift from the mother
In your planets you are filled
With greed and false belief
We came here to bring you peace

What is the Meaning of Backpack?

Exploring themes of alienation and belonging, this collaboration between Justin Bieber and Lil Wayne delves into the story of an extraterrestrial being who crash-lands on Earth. The protagonist, portrayed by Bieber, takes in the stranded alien and offers companionship and protection. Despite forming a deep bond, the alien yearns to return to its home planet, highlighting feelings of loss and displacement. Lil Wayne's verse adds depth by reflecting on his own sense of otherness and survival. The song juxtaposes the purity of the alien's world with Earth's flaws, such as greed and violence, ultimately advocating for peace and understanding across different realms.
