Lyrics

Ugh

Expression of discomfort or dissatisfaction.

One two one two

Introducing the artist and starting the song.

REY THREE

Artist's name announcement.

Yea

Affirmation of the statement.

This another one of then classic hiphop joints

Identifying the song as a classic hip-hop joint.

Real hiphop heads only

Addressing real hip-hop enthusiasts.

Can't stop yall it won't stop

Repetition emphasizing that the hip-hop won't stop.

Can't stop yall it won't stop

-

Ugh

-

Can't stop yall it won't stop

-

Check it out

Invitation to check out the following content.

Check it mmm mmm mmm

Repetition for emphasis and transition.

Bust it

Expression signaling the start of the message.

What kind of world are we living in today

Critique of the current state of the world and music industry.

The music that I love has been leading us astray

-

Tell me how this shit really goin down the drain

-

Because you hate the real but appreciate the fake

-

One day you'll awake and realize the mistake that you've made

-

But by then it'll be too late

-

Went from peace, love, unity, and Having fun

Transition describing the shift from positive values to negative ones.

To sex, drugs, violence, and we don't give a fuck

-

Jewels, cars, ho's, dope, guns and fashion

-

Eat, breathe, shit, fuck, pay ya taxes

-

Ignore the tactics

Call for action and determination to continue despite challenges.

All I'm askin

-

Is listen one time this a call for action

-

And to the man up above who been watchin

-

I hope you got me on this journey

-

I aint stopping

-

I'm on and popping

Expression of confidence and commitment to hip-hop.

Though many men wish i was flopping

-

I'm hiphoppin' till I retire to the tropics

-

Peace, love, unity, and having fun

Repetition of the original positive values.

Peace, love, unity, and having fun

-

Peace, love, unity, and having fun

-

If you ain't bout that why you fuckin with us

Questioning the alignment of others with positive values.

Uh rock rock yall

Call for participation and expression of individuality.

Uh freak freak yall

-

Uh to the beat yall

-

It's REY Three yall

-

Uh rock rock yall

-

A freak freak yall

-

Check it mmm check it mmm mmm bust it

-

This be the realest type rap on the track

Assertion of authenticity and resistance to mainstream influence.

They tried to soften us but I stay on attack

-

Give a damn bout ya act

-

Ya stacks or ya plaques

-

Listened to your music and I think it's sort of wack

-

REY THREE spitting the facts killin the game on the track

-

The tried hush me I needed to take a step back

Recognition of demand and acknowledgment of recognition.

I'm in demand but now they got me on the map

-

A conscious man

Reflection on being a conscious individual.

Is now considered contraband

-

I'm Aqua Man

Comparison to Aqua Man and description of leadership.

The way I'm wet with the nina

-

Not just a leader

-

But im the key note speaker

-

Known to rock a mic from New York to Pasadena

Highlighting experience in different locations.

I make it look good no funky cold Medina

-

The dobalinas

Dismissal of collaboration and offering genuine content.

Yea I ain't fuckin with then either

-

Fuck a feature

-

All I got for you is some ether

-

When in the jungle

Metaphorical advice about navigating challenges.

Watch out for snakes and deceivers

-

The walking sleepers

-

I'm out to turn em to believers

-

Peace, love, unity, and having fun

Reiteration of positive values and questioning others' alignment.

Peace, love, unity, and having fun

-

Peace, love, unity, and having fun

-

If you ain't bout that why you fuckin with us

Encouragement for individual expression and participation.

Uh freak freak yall
