Don't Slack
Anderson .Paak Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Finally gotcha loose from the cage (okay)
I ain't tryna smooze you with flowers, baby (won't play no games)
I'd rather make a power play (won't play no games)
Imagine all the lives that we can change
You don't even know the power you got in them legs
Pick up your face and be proud for once (proud for once)
Take off your cool, but keep stylin' on 'em (keep stylin' on 'em)
Okay, now don't slack
I need all my racks
No, we don't hold back
Act like you know that
Go tell your old man
Go get your whole fam'
Fly like the ghost man
Taking all I can
I just came to feel all that is made for me
I was made to be the change we really, really, need
I'm up before the rooster, ya dig? (ooh, you dig?)
I had to jump the moon to get big (ooh, to get big)
How many stone grooves will it take? (okay)
For you to skip on my funk lake? (oh, oh, okay)
Imagine all the lives that we can save
You don't even know the power you got in them legs
Pick up your face and be proud for once (proud for once)
Go quit ya gig and get down with us (keep stylin' on 'em)
Okay, now don't slack
I need all my racks
No, we don't hold back
Act like you know that
go tell your old man
Go get your whole fam'
Fly like the ghost man
Taking all I can
I just came to feel all that is made for me
I was made to be the change we really, really, need
Now, fill up the whole tank
And I drive in the cold rain
And I run like a nose bleed
And can't nobody hold me, hold me (you can't hold me)
Hold me, hold me (you can't hold me)
Hold me, hold me (you can't hold me)
Hold me (you can't hold)
Okay, now don't slack
I need all my racks
No, we don't hold back
Act like you know that
go tell your old man
Go get your whole fam'
Fly like the ghost man
Taking all I can
(I feel different now, ya know)
(Come on)
I was made to love (I was made to love)
(Sing)
I just came to get the love that was made for me
(I just came to get the love that was made for me)
I was made to be the change that we really need
(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, say it)
I just came to feel all that is made for me
I was made to be the change we really, really, need
I just came to feel all that is made for me
I was made to be the change we really, really, need
In this verse from Anderson .Paak's song Don't Slack, he is expressing his admiration for his partner and encouraging them to embrace their power and potential. He starts by acknowledging that not just anyone can move them the way he does and that he has finally helped them break free from their cage. He then goes on to say that he doesn't need to use flowers (or any kind of gimmick) to woo his partner, as he prefers to make a power play. He invites them to imagine all the lives they can change, emphasizing that they don't even know the power they have in their legs. Anderson .Paak urges his partner to let go of their cool and be proud for once, while still keeping their unique style intact.
The chorus is a call to action, as Anderson .Paak emphasizes that he needs all his racks (money) and encourages his partner to act like they know that. He also urges them to tell their old man (father) and get their whole family involved, as they can all fly like the ghost man (with ease and grace) and take all they can. The bridge is a declaration of Anderson .Paak's determination to succeed, as he talks about getting up before the rooster (being an early bird) and jumping the moon (doing the impossible). He challenges his partner to skip on his funk lake (join him on his journey) and once again urges them to imagine all the lives they can save. He encourages them to pick up their face and be proud for once and quit their gig (job) and get down with them (join their mission).
The last part of the song is a repetition of the chorus with additional verses about filling up the whole tank and driving in the cold rain. Anderson .Paak emphasizes that nobody can hold him back and that he was made to love and be the change they really need. The song is a highly motivating and inspiring message about taking action and embracing one's power and potential.

Anna looks like she is stuck in quarantine with two of the world's hottest buffoons and she's just learning how to cope with their goofy antics like: "If you can't ignore them, join them."
