B.C. Read Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Despite my fear of death
I'm about to get my genius side on activated
The young boy's a rapper now
Who gives a shit
Like everybody just turned around and middle fingers flipped
No motivation like they ain't got nothing on ya
My neck don't allow me to cry on my own shoulder
And the fact that I started solo is my biggest advantage look
At 14 I'm already at the top of my grizzy
And if not then why did older niggas copy my lyrics
Pussycats minus the cats
That music is just the cigarette and mine is the crack
I knew I had to react like it was magic
I could never hate it man this shit is quite fascinating
When I said its my talent they said nice its a hobby
At that time I knew only my family had got me
But clock it I never stopped did I
My first snap back tilted in pictures like I'm T I
VP stay strong as long as God is behind us
I need to let the success so I'm calling the young riders
I'm a killer man shit just got realer
Uglier than Michael Jackson going thriller
I still rock a nation, like I was signed to Jigga
Fall back nigga I ain't sweet I'm bitter
We got bigger fish to fry
Though Kay Cee is throwing hooks for me
Boy you can keep your latest apple pie
She ain't got good enough looks for me
I'm the prince now
Everybody better listen now better discern
When they dissing sounds like my ass is whatever they be kissing
Look this is for anybody who ever doubted me
That said I wouldn't make it know what I mean
They said this thing would just be something
That'll disappear in a few years time
Well its been more than a few years time
I've been 6 years in this mo
Okay I won't swear but I ain't gone cuss no more for the better
It's one kid a thousand coffins believe in me
Man I need you to believe or believe in me (Believe in me)
It's N A S T Y to the C zily (to the Czily)
Believe in me (Believe in me)
Believe in me (Believe in me)
Please dawg (Please dawg)
Believe in me (Believe in me)
Man I need you to believe in me (Believe in me)
Man I need you to believe in me (Believe in me)
My name is N A S T Y to the Cily (Czily)
And I'ma make it even if they don't believe in me
Look real shit no peanut butter
Not tryna say I'm the biggest believer
But I believe in me believe in God believe in Jesus brudah
Them other boys know when to cross the line and when to cross the boarder
And know I test them like the end of November F these youngins
Shit now I'm a sex offender
Pause 2's up for all my hating niggas
I need the dough up in my hand so I can bake nigga
I appreciate everyone that helped me on this mixtape
Album whatever you prefer to call it just a compilation of all the tracks
It's one kid a thousand coffins

Line by Line Meaning
The biggest G's in the game got assassinated
Even the most powerful and well-known individuals in the industry have been taken down by violence
Despite my fear of death
Although I am scared of dying
I'm about to get my genius side on activated
I am going to tap into my creativity and showcase my talents
The young boy's a rapper now
This child has now become a musical artist
Who gives a shit
No one really cares
Like everybody just turned around and middle fingers flipped
People suddenly turned around and showed a disrespectful gesture
No motivation like they ain't got nothing on ya
There is no inspiration or incentive as if there is nothing to compete against
My neck don't allow me to cry on my own shoulder
I cannot comfort myself or feel sorry for myself
Now I'm on to drop some shit that none of these niggas can manage
I am going to release work that no one can compare to or replicate
And the fact that I started solo is my biggest advantage look
The fact that I began on my own is my greatest asset
At 14 I'm already at the top of my grizzy
At the young age of 14, I am already at the pinnacle of my grind
And if not then why did older niggas copy my lyrics
If I am not at the top, then why would other more experienced individuals be copying my words
Pussycats minus the cats
Weak, soft individuals with no backbone
That music is just the cigarette and mine is the crack
Their music is just the beginning, but mine is the addiction that follows
I knew I had to react like it was magic
I had to respond as if it required a spell to be cast or supernatural powers to overcome
I could never hate it man this shit is quite fascinating
I can never loathe this, it's actually quite captivating
When I said its my talent they said nice its a hobby
When I asserted that this is my skill, they simply replied with it being just a pastime
At that time I knew only my family had got me
I only had my family to support me at that moment
But clock it I never stopped did I
But I never gave up, did I?
My first snap back tilted in pictures like I'm T I
In my initial pictures, my hat was tilted back like T.I.
VP stay strong as long as God is behind us
Our record company must remain resilient as long as we have divine support
I need to let the success so I'm calling the young riders
I need to pass on the knowledge of success, so I am calling upon the next generation
I'm a killer man shit just got realer
I am a tough competitor, this is serious business
Uglier than Michael Jackson going thriller
Even uglier than Michael Jackson during his 'Thriller' music video
I still rock a nation, like I was signed to Jigga
I am still representing my country, as if I were signed under Jay-Z's label
Fall back nigga I ain't sweet I'm bitter
Back off, I am not weak, I am resentful
We got bigger fish to fry
We have more important things to address
Though Kay Cee is throwing hooks for me
Even though Kay Cee is helping me and supporting me
Boy you can keep your latest apple pie
You can keep your latest creation or invention
She ain't got good enough looks for me
It does not meet my standards or expectations
I'm the prince now
I am royalty now
Everybody better listen now better discern
Everyone should listen and take notice of me now
When they dissing sounds like my ass is whatever they be kissing
When they insult me, it sounds like they are praising me
Look this is for anybody who ever doubted me
This message is for anyone who ever undermined or questioned me
That said I wouldn't make it know what I mean
Those who claimed I would not succeed, do you comprehend now?
They said this thing would just be something
They claimed this career would simply be a fleeting moment
That'll disappear in a few years time
That I would vanish after only a few years
Well its been more than a few years time
But it has been more than just a few years
I've been 6 years in this mo
I have been in this industry for six years now
Okay I won't swear but I ain't gone cuss no more for the better
Okay, I will not use vulgar language anymore for the better
It's one kid a thousand coffins believe in me
I am just one kid, but believe in me or else you will be one of many in a thousand coffins
Man I need you to believe or believe in me (Believe in me)
I am asking for your faith or your support
It's N A S T Y to the C zily (to the Czily)
My name is N.A.S.T.Y to the C-zily
Please dawg (Please dawg)
Please, my friend
Man I need you to believe in me (Believe in me)
I need you to have confidence in me
My name is N A S T Y to the Cily (Czily)
My name is N.A.S.T.Y to the Cily
And I'ma make it even if they don't believe in me
I will indeed succeed, even if they have no faith in me
Look real shit no peanut butter
This is genuine, no gimmicks
Not tryna say I'm the biggest believer
I am not implying that I have the most faith
But I believe in me believe in God believe in Jesus brudah
But I have confidence in myself, God, and Jesus, my friend
Them other boys know when to cross the line and when to cross the boarder
Those other people know when to break or bend the rules
And know I test them like the end of November F these youngins
And now I challenge them, like the stress at the end of November, forget these newer generations
Shit now I'm a sex offender
Now I am a criminal for my sexually explicit content
Pause 2's up for all my hating niggas
Hold up two fingers for all my haters out there
I need the dough up in my hand so I can bake nigga
I need money in my hand so I can create and earn more
I appreciate everyone that helped me on this mixtape
I am grateful for everyone who aided me with this album
Album whatever you prefer to call it just a compilation of all the tracks
It is either an album or a mixtape, whichever you prefer, it's a combination of all the songs

Just one person and a thousand potential failures or setbacks, VP
