Int. Barbershop Day Lyrics – Will Smith

Int. Barbershop Day Lyrics Meaning

[Intro]
This part of the song sets up the theme—people arguing about whether Will Smith is still relevant or “canceled.” Some say he’s untouchable because he’s a legend, while others criticize him for acting like he’s invincible. The line about “The Fresh Prince” reminds everyone of his iconic past, hinting that no matter what happens, he’s still a cultural figure.

[Verse]
The verse is like a back-and-forth conversation inside a barbershop, where people debate Will Smith’s career, actions, and legacy. It starts with someone questioning who Will Smith thinks he is, implying he’s either too full of himself or overrated. Then, someone brings up the way he raises his kids, hinting at public opinions about Jaden and Willow being unconventional. This sparks an argument—some say he’s crazy, while others defend him, showing how divided people are about him.

Next, there’s talk about how he used to be “cool,” but now opinions are mixed. Someone argues that he’s still incredibly rich and successful, even joking that his pool is big enough to fit a whole house. But then, another voice downplays his wealth, saying he’s not *that* rich. They even claim they can’t remember the last movie he did, but then someone quickly reminds them of his blockbuster hits like *Aladdin*, *Men in Black*, and *Bad Boys*, proving he’s still relevant in Hollywood.

Then, the conversation shifts to his Oscar moment and the controversy around it. Someone mentions that he won an Oscar but had to give it back (which isn’t exactly true, but it reflects public gossip). Another voice defends him, suggesting that if he weren’t Black, he wouldn’t have been forced to face such harsh consequences. The debate continues, with one side saying he doesn’t need an Oscar to prove his success—after all, he was the first rapper to win a Grammy and put Philadelphia on the map.

Despite all these achievements, one person bluntly calls him “wack,” while another insists he’s still successful, attractive, and has Jada Pinkett Smith by his side—something many might envy. But then, Jada’s name brings up another controversial topic. Someone jokes about the infamous “Keep my wife’s name out of your mouth” moment, reminding everyone of the slap incident and how it still follows him.

Then, the conversation takes a humorous turn. Someone claims they wouldn’t even be impressed if Will Smith walked in; instead, they’d tell him to get a better haircut because his movie hairstyles have been weak. But another person jumps in, saying one thing’s for sure—no one can call him lazy because he’s constantly working. However, someone else responds that it’s not about hard work; they think he’s just straight-up crazy.

Then comes another comparison: does having just *one* classic album put him on the level of Jay-Z? Someone argues that Will is more than just a rapper—he’s an actor, a movie star, and a TV legend. Even though some people criticize him, there’s no denying his legacy.

The song ends with skepticism about his music career. Someone mocks the idea that he might drop a new record and expect everyone to forget his past mistakes. They suggest he should take more time to reflect before jumping back into the spotlight. Finally, the argument circles back to the main question—whether Will Smith is only relevant because of his kids. Again, there’s disagreement, with both sides sticking to their views.

The verse ends with a sudden interruption, as if the barber is calling the speaker for a haircut, cutting the debate short. It gives the song a fun, conversational feel, making it seem like a real discussion you’d overhear in a barbershop.
