Lyrics
No parley parley
No communication or negotiation
No parley parley
No communication or negotiation (repeated)
Hmmm
Expressing hesitation or contemplation
Come from a place where the guns
Describing a place where guns and machines are active and loud
Dem rise and the machines dem
-Go bang bang
-This ain't havana
Contrasting the current situation with Havana, emphasizing non-gang affiliation
Take off your balaclava
-Cuz me know you don't gang bang
-We don't really care what you say
Disregarding others' opinions, rejecting surrender (no parley)
Don't wave your white flag
-Cuz this ain't no parley parley
-When a boy get touch
Celebration among peers when someone is touched or attacked
All the guys celebrate ale ale
-Come from a place where the guns
Reiteration of the environment with guns and machines
Dem rise and the machines dem
-Go bang bang
-This ain't havana
Continued emphasis on non-gang association
Take off your balaclava
-Cuz me know you don't gang bang
-We don't really care what you say
Rejection of surrender and others' opinions (no parley)
Don't wave your white flag
-Cuz this ain't no parley parley
-When a boy get touch
Further celebration of an attack on a boy
All the guys celebrate ale ale
-Shout to my killys that wid me
Acknowledging comrades from an early age, avoiding bamba (conflict)
From pampers
-Run kitty kitty
-But this ain't no bamba
-Loki my bruddas like Thor
Comparison to Thor's anger, highlighting consequences
Why
-Cuz thunder gets crashed
-Whenever his angered
-I hate when she saying
Disapproval of claims of love for a gangster, contrasting with Amanda's show
She loving the gangster
-This ain't for show like no amanda
-I'm champion like buju no banton
Self-proclamation as a champion, stealthy movements like panthers
All black masks creep up
-Like we panthers
-That's my Killy yeah
Identification and acknowledgment of close associates
That's my chargie
-That's my Bruce yeah
-That's my dargy
-B5 central where it started
Reminiscing the challenging start in B5 central, recalling times of starvation
Remember them times
-That we were starving
-Trust me bro
Expressing personal effort and success despite initial challenges
Yeah I'm trying my hardest
-Now they say YRN is charting
-Didn't even say that I was an artist
-Now they playing me
Recognition of being played at parties, possibly indicating popularity
Out at the parties
-Come from a place where the guns
Repetition of the environment with guns and machines
Dem rise and the machines dem
-Go bang bang
-This ain't havana
Reiterated non-gang affiliation, urging removal of balaclava
Take off your balaclava
-Cuz me know you don't gang bang
-We don't really care what you say
Emphasizing indifference to others' opinions (no parley)
Don't wave your white flag
-Cuz this ain't no parley parley
-When a boy get touch
Celebration continues when a boy is touched
All the guys celebrate ale ale
-Ale ale
Repetition of celebration (ale ale)
Hmmm
Expressing hesitation or contemplation (repeated)
Parley parley
No communication or negotiation (repeated)
