Lyrics

Man up, this ain’t stand-up homie

Encouragement to be serious, not a joke or comedy.

We gon have to sit ‘em down

Action required to address a situation seriously.

Said my dreams were naïve well who

Challenging the notion that dreams are unrealistic.

The fuck is kiddin’ now

Expressing disbelief at someone kidding about it now.

I was at my lowest in the city

Reflecting on a low point in the city.

We was in the Bells

Reference to being in the Bells (location or situation).

We about to show you what the shit is now

Intent to showcase current success or skills.


We don’t, we don’t listen

Emphasis on not listening, staying focused on missions despite distractions.

We don’t, we don’t listen

-

We don’t, we don’t listen we on missions

-

We on, we on missions

-

We don’t, we don’t listen

-

Devil on my shoulder bitchin’

-

Angels got too much opinions

-

They don’t know how we be winnin’

-

It’s cause we don’t, we don’t listen

-

They all told me you will

Advice or prediction that success requires a unique approach.

Never go without a gimmick

Warning against relying on gimmicks for success.

Couple them critics now be all

Response to critics, emphasizing authenticity, and commitment to the real.

Up on my di-dick

Told ‘em that the people want the

-

Real and they miss it

-

I give ‘em my heart and they

-

Put me to the finish

-

I lead with my art and it

Commitment to artistic expression despite commercial pressures.

Put me in the business

-

Rest of these dudes be paid by numbers

-

Fear show it’s face

Acknowledgment of facing fear and hatred, expressing love for enemies.

It’s the hate my brothers

-

So shouts to all my enemies, I love ya

-

I’m a monster

Assertion of strength, defiance, and overcoming challenges.

Fuck you and your prima donna pose

-

Tell me where to walk but you ain’t

-

Step foot where I’m tryna go

-

Told me chill, they said don’t jump

-

I laughed and said "Geronimo!"

-

I shoulda killed you suckas a long time ago

-

We don’t, we don’t listen

Reiteration of the theme of not listening, facing internal and external conflicts.

We don’t, we don’t listen

We don’t, we don’t listen we on missions

We on, we on missions

We don’t, we don’t listen

-

Devil on my shoulder bitchin’

-

Angels got too much opinions

-

They don’t know how we be winnin’

-

It’s cause we don’t, we don’t listen

-

And I was fallin’ down for a while

Personal struggles, loneliness, and resilience.

I was feelin’ lonely, yeah

-

I was feelin’ sad through a smile

-

Like don’t nobody know me

-

But I been in my prime for a while now

Can’t no numbers divide me

So I don’t really care ‘bout a style now

-

Let a muhfucka try me

We don’t, we don’t listen

Continuation of the theme of not listening, asserting independence and winning against odds.

We don’t, we don’t listen

We don’t, we don’t listen we on missions

We on, we on missions

-

We don’t, we don’t listen

-

Devil on my shoulder bitchin’

Angels got too much opinions

They don’t know how we be winnin’

It’s cause we don’t, we don’t listen

-

We don’t, we don’t listen

Final reiteration of the central theme and overcoming external judgments.

We don’t, we don’t listen

Devil on my shoulder bitchin’
