Lyrics
They said no when I told them that I'd find a way to get to the top
Facing skepticism and doubt when expressing determination to reach the top.
They didn't know that eventually I'd be the one to worry about
People unaware that the speaker would eventually become a concern for them.
When someone would mention me, they always tried to say I would flop
Others predicting failure when the speaker's name is mentioned.
But this the sound of revenge
Declaration that the following narrative is about seeking revenge.
Yea
Confirmation or agreement.
On the path to find out who's true
Embarking on a journey to discover true allies.
The only person you can really trust is you
Emphasizing self-reliance and trust in oneself.
And if you feel like you can't even trust you
If self-trust is compromised, there's always the option to trust oneself above others.
Then you can always trust you know who
Implicit reference to a trustworthy entity, possibly oneself.
And if you don't know who you know who is
Highlighting the importance of self-awareness.
Then I feel so sorry for you
Expressing pity for those who lack awareness of their true selves.
Cause that's really the only person that can judge you
Stating that the only rightful judge of oneself is oneself.
Critics, people that wanna see you fail will tell you what you can't do
Warning against critics and naysayers who aim to see the speaker fail.
Shouldn't do and must do
Listing the judgments imposed by others on what one shouldn't, mustn't, or couldn't do.
But when you got that glow
Having confidence and a positive aura that shields against external influences.
Nobody else's words can really budge you
Asserting that when one possesses a certain confidence, external opinions lose their impact.
Revenge has always been looked upon as a sin
Discussing the negative perception of revenge as a sinful act.
And sometimes you feel like you had to sin to win
Acknowledging that sometimes success requires unconventional actions.
Sometime it sound like :gunshot:
Using a gunshot sound metaphorically to represent missed opportunities.
Is what it coulda been
Reflecting on the potential outcomes of past actions.
When you get to the gates of Heaven they probably wouldn't let ya in
Suggesting potential consequences in the afterlife for certain actions.
But ya change that meanin' up and success is what it is in the end
Changing the perception of revenge and emphasizing success in the end.
And instead of worryin' about what shoulda, coulda, woulda been
Advising against dwelling on missed opportunities.
Ya turn your head toward the future and keep it movin'
Encouraging a forward-looking perspective and moving on from the past.
Know what I'm sayin'?
Confirming or seeking agreement with the preceding statement.
Well say it again
Reiterating the encouragement to keep moving forward.
Keep it movin'
Repeating the message to keep progressing despite challenges.
Know what I'm sayin'?
Seeking confirmation or agreement.
Screw it then
Expressing a disregard for obstacles or negativity.
Know what I'm sayin?
Seeking confirmation or agreement.
If you're waitin' for me to fail, your time is runnin' out on that clock
Addressing those anticipating the speaker's failure, warning that time is running out for them.
I'm runnin' to the finish yea, when I get there I ain't gonna stop
Expressing determination to reach the finish line and a refusal to stop upon arrival.
Success is what I couldn't have, but now I tell em look what I got
Highlighting the contrast between past limitations and current success.
It's the sound of revenge
Reinforcing the theme of revenge with a declaration of its sound.
