Anybody Killa Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Right Place,
Right Time,
Close Call,
What Does It Matta?
Clean get away keeping my dirty pockets fatter
Smooth operation plans well thought out
Hands in the air is what I'm talking about
The one crazy native representing Psychopathic
Down for the D cause the D is where I struggle
Underground, wicked shit Motha Fackooo!
[Chorus:](2x)
Do you want that native shit?
(Yes we want that native shit!)
Do you want that crazy shit?
(Yes we want that crazy shit!)
Do you want that wickid shit?
(Yes we want that wickid shit!)
"Twenty thousand hardcore members, fourty thousand county affiliates, and twenty thousand more not organized, but ready to fight, sixty thousand soldiers. Now they ain't but twenty thousand police in the whole town, can you dig it? Can you dig it? CAN YOU DIG IT!??
Do you run with the hatchet?
(Yes we run with the hatchet!)
LYRICS BY: Billy Decker
The lyrics of "Close Call" by Anybody Killa describe the artist's criminal lifestyle and mentality. The first few lines talk about being in the right place at the right time when attempting to commit a crime, and ultimately getting away with it. ABK then refers to his high level of planning and sophistication in his criminal endeavors. He believes that these accomplishments have allowed him to live a more fruitful, financially rewarding life despite their unscrupulous nature.
The chorus, which is repeated twice, asks the audience if they want "that native shit," "that crazy shit," or "that wicked shit." These phrases represent the values that ABK associates with, namely his Native American heritage and his affiliation with the music label Psychopathic Records. The song also includes a quote from the 1979 film "The Warriors," which further emphasizes the violent, rebellious nature of the song. The lyrics of "Close Call" are a clear illustration of ABK's criminal mindset and his glorification of illegal activities.
