Lyrics
i see dem lurking and preein'
I notice them watching and observing
dem no wan see me breathin'
They don't want to witness my success or existence
pray to jah dem ah fail
Praying to God (Jah) for their failure
pray to jah dem ah fail
Repetition, emphasizing the desire for their failure
in the corner dem ah watchin'
In a secluded place, they are watching
dem wan see me turn to nothin'
They want to see me become nothing
they no wan see me diddy boppin'
They don't want to see me enjoying success (diddy boppin')
they no like the drip i'm coppin'
They dislike the style or success I am achieving
they wan take the girl i'm fuckin'
They want to take away the person I'm romantically involved with
they wan put me on a stoppin'
They want to hinder my progress
they no wan my sound poppin'
They don't want my music or influence to become popular
no taste my caramel toppin' okay
They don't appreciate or acknowledge my success, represented by "caramel toppin'"
and i thank God for the way
Expressing gratitude to God for current circumstances
if not i'll be stuck at the interstate going insane
Reflecting on potential struggles if not for divine intervention
going insane
Repetition of "going insane" emphasizing the intensity of potential struggles
i see dem lurking and preein'
Reiteration of being observed and not wanted to succeed
dem no wan see me breathin'
Reiteration of the desire for others not to witness the artist's success or existence
pray to jah dem ah fail
Continuation of praying for the failure of those who wish harm
pray to jah dem ah fail
Repetition, emphasizing the continued desire for their failure
incase you nuh know me
Introducing the artist's assertive and determined nature
i'm comin' for your head
Expressing intent to overcome challenges and obstacles
i'm comin' for your neck
Asserting dominance and determination to succeed
i'll make you never rest
Promising to disrupt the peace and comfort of those who oppose
it's me you wanna whine
Others desire to be close or involved with the artist
you can never undermine
Confident assertion that no one can diminish the artist's worth
but i know the hate it never ends
Acknowledgment of persistent negativity or hatred
and they want to hold my peace
Reference to wanting to maintain inner calm and tranquility
me i jus' wan to hold my cheese
Expressing desire for personal success and financial gain
and they nuh wan let me be discreet
Facing opposition in maintaining privacy and discretion
so me haffi jus push dem out my scene
Deciding to remove or distance oneself from negative influences
i see dem lurking and preein'
Reiteration of being observed and not wanted to succeed
dem no wan see me breathin'
Reiteration of the desire for others not to witness the artist's success or existence
pray to jah dem ah fail
Continuation of praying for the failure of those who wish harm
pray to jah dem ah fail
Repetition, emphasizing the continued desire for their failure
