Bombs on You
Anybody Killa Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Because the way i flow, the mainstream don't deserve this
I'm set out to break backs on tracks, and scratch on all records that
you spit on wax
I'm a crazy motherf**ker with pride
And I got enough wisdom to keep my soul alive
So grab a mic and lemme see if it shine
'cause' it's time to make this whole world mine, all mine
Everytime I see these people
They always just stop and stare
Like I don't belong in this place
So they say that it's not fair
I can't understand this drama
That the Earth brings down on me
So let me take you through my mind
Look in my eyes, follow me
Tell me, what's going on
and drop these bombs on you
Tell me, what's going on
and drop these bombs on you
I'm gonna tell you why I'm dropping bombs
Because I'm sick and f**kin' tired of seeing fire alarms
Little explosions, marshmallows roasting
Soft motherf**kers standing on the stage boasting
Now don't expect me to just walk away
Because I've been told y'all that i'm here to stay
I'ma still keep flowing, from coast to coast
And I'ma still keep smoking weed with juggalos
I'ma still bust caps, at all these hoes
And I'ma drop me a bomb off, at every show
That's how it is, so just grab your bow
Because it's time to represent and watch these warriors grow
I can't understand this drama
That the Earth brings down on me
So let me take you through my mind
Look in my eyes, follow me
Tell me, what's going on
and drop these bombs on you
Tell me, what's going on
and drop these bombs on you
In "Bombs on You," Anybody Killa expresses his frustration with mainstream music and his desire to break the mold with his own brand of underground rap. He boasts about his ability to flow and scratch on records, aiming to break backs on tracks. Despite the barrage of judgment and stares from those around him, he remains steadfast in his mission to make a name for himself and take over the world. This is reflected in the refrain, where he challenges listeners to tell him what's going on and to "drop these bombs on you." He refuses to conform to the soft, egotistical style that dominates the music industry, and instead pledges to stay true to himself, weed-smoking, and his fellow juggalos, even if it means dropping a metaphorical bomb at every show.
The song is an example of underground rap, a style that emerged in the early 1990s as a reaction to the mainstream popularity of gangsta rap. Underground rappers tend to focus on social and political issues and eschew the materialistic and violent themes common in mainstream rap. Anybody Killa is associated with the underground rap group Psychopathic Records, which was founded by the Insane Clown Posse.
The song was released in 2001 as part of Anybody Killa's debut album, "Hatchet Warrior." It has become a cult favorite among underground rap fans, who appreciate the artist's uncompromising attitude and unique sound.
