Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
All the attention that it brings
Tell me no, I say yes, I was chosen
And I will deliver the explosion
Can't say it's gonna get me far
Do no good to say what you are
I run the streets and I break up houses
River runs deep and the flame devours it
Me, I'm a Creator
Thrill is to make it up
The rules I break got me a place
Up on the radar
Me, I'm a Taker
Know what the stakes are
Can't roll it back, it's understood
Got to play our cards
Me, I'm a Creator
Thrill is to make it up
The rules I break got me a place
Up on the radar
Me, I'm a Taker
Know what the stakes are
Can't roll it back, it's understood
Got to play our cards
Sit tight I know what you are
Mad bright but you ain't no star
Polish up 'til you make it gleam
Your M.O, I know what you mean
Tail ridin' and I know it's true
While they screamin' I love you
Down deep you know there ain't no flow
A soul decay, was D.O.A
I know what you here for now
Words out you're an idea whore though
Now don't you crush on me
I'll see you in your pipe dreams
Whether or not you know it's true
You're who they dictate to
That shit must hurt real bad
Fakin' what you wish you had
Me, I'm a Creator
Thrill is to make it up
The rules I break got me a place
Up on the radar
Me, I'm a Taker
Know what the stakes are
Can't roll it back, it's understood
Got to play our cards
Here all the folks come ask about me
Bandwagon, know they used to doubt me
Blind side tend to hit real hard
You should heed the warning, get a body guard
Steady friction in this bitch
Creepin' in just like an itch
So far I got the last laugh
Still the rich rise up, still I live fast
Wouldn't know it face to face
Got no soul and got no taste
Moving in speed up the pace
I got it locked though, what a waste
All the talk is standard fare
Walk the walk if it gets you there
On the grind 'til the gig is up
I'm 'a smash 'em down
Put a muzzle on them like, "What"
Me, I'm a Creator
Thrill is to make it up
The rules I break got me a place
Up on the radar
Me, I'm a Taker
Know what the stakes are
Can't roll it back, it's understood
Got to play our cards
Me, I'm a Creator
Thrill is to make it up
The rules I break got me a place
Up on the radar
Me, I'm a Taker
Know what the stakes are
Can't roll it back, it's understood
Got to play our cards
The lyrics to Santigold's song "Creator" reflect the idea of self-empowerment and personal agency. The singer rejects material possessions and attention for the sake of others, insisting that they were chosen to bring a unique explosion to the world. They acknowledge that their ways may not lead to success, but they run the streets and break up houses nonetheless. The refrain, "Me, I'm a Creator," emphasizes the singer's role in making their own destiny, rather than following others' expectations. They are a Taker as well, aware of the risks and what's at stake, but they understand that they must play their cards and break the rules in order to truly make a difference.
The lyrics can also be seen as a rejection of conformity and adherence to societal norms. The singer is aware of the phoniness in the music industry, with people chasing fame and success without true passion or talent. They see themselves as a unique force, rising above the bandwagon followers who used to doubt them. The warning to "get a bodyguard" speaks to the friction and competition that comes with being a creative visionary.
Overall, "Creator" is an anthem for individuality and breaking free from the constraints of traditional success. The singer does not seek the approval of others or adhere to outdated norms, but instead creates their own path and relishes in the thrill of doing so.

Got no soul and got no taste
Those who are jealous of my success claim that I don't have talent
Moving in speed up the pace
I continue to move forward and push myself to achieve more
I got it locked though, what a waste
I am confident in my abilities and it would be a waste to not use them
All the talk is standard fare
Many people talk about success, but few actually achieve it
Walk the walk if it gets you there
You need to actually take action and work hard in order to succeed
On the grind 'til the gig is up
I will continue to work hard until I have reached my goals
I'm 'a smash 'em down
I will overcome any obstacles in my path to success
Put a muzzle on them like, "What"
I will silence those who doubt me and try to bring me down
