Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
(You don’t say don’t say)
They say you run this town (You don’t say )
We’ve been out of town for a while (You don’t say)
I hear you came to take over (You don’t stand a chance)
We’ve been doing this for a while (You don’t say)
He siyabacindezela nge swag siy’ steering
Ilockile leAfro awu kushunq’ idust
Ekse siya’ chomela siya’ dlalela isukile
Isukile baba asambe
They say you run this town (You don’t say )
We’ve been out of town for a while (You don’t say)
I hear you came to take over (You don’t stand a chance)
We’ve been doing this for a while (You don’t say)
(You don’t say you don’t say)

The lyrics to 2Point1's song "Don't Say" seem to convey a confident and defiant message in response to people's perception of their success and status in the music industry.
The phrase "They say you run this town" suggests that there are rumors or expectations of 2Point1 dominating the music scene. However, in the following line, "We've been out of town for a while," the artists are dismissing these claims as they express that they have been absent or away from the spotlight. This implies that their absence does not align with the notion of them being in control or running the town.
Furthermore, the line "I hear you came to take over, we’ve been doing this for a while" reinforces their dismissal of others' attempts to surpass or challenge their position. It implies that they have already established themselves and have significant experience in the industry. The phrase "You don't stand a chance" emphasizes their confidence in their own abilities and suggests that newcomers or competitors will struggle to match their level of success.
The subsequent lyrics, "He siyabakhathaza kukhal' flue yeberings, He siyabacindezela nge swag siy' steering, Ilockile leAfro awu kushunq' idust, Ekse siya' chomela siya’ dlalela isukile, Isukile baba asambe," are in Zulu, a South African language. These lines seem to celebrate their African identity and confidence, asserting that they are ready to bring excitement and entertainment to the scene. The repeated phrase "Isukile baba asambe" could be translated to "It's on, let's go."
Overall, the lyrics convey a sense of disregard for the opinions of others and a confident assertion of 2Point1's status and experience in the music industry. They dismiss any claims of others taking over or being superior, asserting their own dominance and readiness to continue their successful journey.
