Reality Check
AC-130 Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

'Cause I came from the south
Oi, oi
Davinci
Ay, say...
Ye don't know, what's the story boy
This is Dublin, hahaha

Back then didn't have no money, didn't have no bread, didn't have no stacks
Uh, back then I lacked, yo, I couldn't sell that pack
On the back rows, good, and the pussy packager handy met in the alley
Oh, just tryna sell that batch, late night had to serve my cat
Back then didn't have no money, didn't have no bread, didn't have no stacks
Uh, back then I lacked, yo, I couldn't sell that pack
On the back rows, good, and the pussy packager handy met in the alley
Oh, I was tryna sell that batch, late night had to serve my cat

This is Dublin, money keeps doublin', y'all got the pack in straight from the Crumlin
If he stunt, I'ma have to hunt him, yeah we'll have to rush him down, Kilrush him
That day those beef with cousins, bro, he buzzed and left a precaution
But no seconds to spare for discussion, in his eyes saw tears, no onion
What's with the accent? You're not from London, better check my bro, it's Dublin
Pack came in, got scared to deport it

Saint Jim was a faded cunt and why'd he desert for a chat for stuntin'
I gange and the swift goin' Dustin, elephant zoo, have your headtop bubblin'
He got caught now he's caught in the pawn
He shouldn't have lacked, he should've just focused
He was high in the sky from potent, he was smokin', one lad was floatin'
Walk to the beat like Hocus Pocus, I know magic and they don't know this

Just like Drake I use the controller, fake skill, done that through a boner
Late night, made a flip man, roll it, I don't look nice but it is what it is
Some pussy I use, can't use that fist, ay
Ah shit, haven't took no risk
Pack came in, broke it down, no biscuit
They see, oh they call me a misfit, I got vision, I see you're vivid
That day I got nicked, good riddance
At the spot, McFee with the kitten

Back then didn't have no money, didn't have no bread, didn't have no stacks
Uh, back then I lacked, yo, I couldn't sell that pack
On the back rows, good, and the pussy packager handy met in the alley
Oh, just tryna sell that batch, late night had to serve my cat
Back then didn't have no money, didn't have no bread, didn't have no stacks
Uh, back then I lacked, yo, I couldn't sell that pack
On the back rows, good, and the pussy packager handy met in the alley
Oh, I was tryna sell that batch, late night had to serve my cat

This is Dublin, money keeps doublin', y'all got the pack in straight from the Crumlin
If he stunt, I'ma have to hunt him, yeah we'll have to rush him down, Kilrush him
That day those beef with cousins, bro, he buzzed and left a precaution
But no seconds to spare for discussion, in his eyes saw tears, no onion
What's with the accent? You're not from London, better check my bro, it's Dublin
Pack came in, got scared to deport it

Saint Jim was a faded cunt and why'd he desert for a chat for stuntin'
I gange and the swift goin' Dustin, elephant zoo, have your headtop bubblin', ay
Have your headtop




You don't know, ay
See you later pal

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of AC-130's song Reality Check depict the rapper's past struggles in making ends meet and trying to sell drugs to make money. The chorus repeats the lines "Back then didn't have no money, didn't have no bread, didn't have no stacks, uh, back then I lacked, yo, I couldn't sell that pack" which highlights the artist's lack of resources and his inability to sell drugs. The first verse talks about his experiences selling drugs on the back roads during the night, often meeting suspicious characters and being involved in risky situations. The second verse talks about the rapper's involvement in the drug trade in Dublin, Ireland, where he had to deal with rival gangs and a shipment that he got scared to deport.


The song's lyrics provide a raw and honest depiction of the struggles and risks associated with illegal drug trade. It reflects the desperation of people who find themselves in difficult financial situations and choose to turn to drug trade as a way out. The repetition of lines in the chorus emphasizes the artist's persistence and determination to make a living, even when he lacked the resources and was faced with many obstacles.
