Sorry we're late!
Buck-O-Nine Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I put my best foot forward
I keep my family by my side
I sleep with one eye open

I'm for real when I say I got an army
Stand down if you think you can harm me
Think about the war you'll be starting
Come for my people, you'll be sorry
'Cause we're not sorry, we're not sorry
So think about the war that you'll be starting
'Cause we're not sorry, we're not sorry

So called Christians, what do they do?
They label me evil, man you don't know just how crazy these people
So many conspiracies they get from hearing me
Fearing me 'cause they think that I'm the tyranny of Devilry
Think they planning to level me
'Cause I'm king of the revelry
I will never be taken by the hands of another man
I get grim like no other can
Christian household my mother ran, in this gutter land
Then she married a good Muslim brother man
So I had a hell of a lot of teaching
We leave sin on the table with the goodness and feasting
Eating like cannibals we're the animals beasting
Seeking the enemy who invented these preachings

I put my best foot forward
I keep my family by my side
I sleep with one eye open
Pray you'll stay right by me and my (love!)

I'm for real when I say I got an army
Stand down if you think you can harm me
Think about the war you'll be starting
Come for my people, you'll be sorry
'Cause we're not sorry, we're not sorry
So think about the war that you'll be starting
'Cause we're not sorry, we're not sorry

Yeah
I'ma say this quick
If you come for me and my family, I'ma spray this clip
And my army is super ready if you haters trip
Keep popping off at the mouth, you get inflated lips
Ain't no Illuminati, don't let the ruckus consume ya body
I'ma groom the shotty then I'ma aim it at whom is naughty
With them damning me to hell, planning for me to fail
Ain't no landing me in cells, abandoning me in jail
Stop mocking me and my symbols
Back in the day was bishop, more, and me in the temple
So if you coming at me I will never be gentle
You gotta know ya conspiracy theories are mental
Me and my children breathing that is really essential
So me just being a rapper is not my only potential
Was brought up in a war, you can check my credentials
All I gotta do is tell my army come and let the sin flow
They see tenfold

I put my best foot forward
I keep my family by my side
I sleep with one eye open
Pray you'll stay right by me and my (love)

I'm for real when I say I got an army
Stand down if you think you can harm me
Think about the war, you'll be starting
Come for my people, you'll be sorry
'Cause we're not sorry, we're not sorry
So think about the war that you'll be starting
'Cause we're not sorry, we're not sorry

I'm for real when I say I got an




Stand down
Think about the war you'll be

Overall Meaning

The song "Sorry we're late!" by Buck-O-Nine is a powerful and politically charged track that touches on themes of religion, conspiracy theories, and an unwavering sense of loyalty to family and community. The first verse sets the tone, with the singer declaring that he always puts his best foot forward and keeps his family close, but also makes sure to stay vigilant, sleeping with one eye open. He goes on to say that he has an army at his back, and anyone who tries to harm him or his people will regret it.


The second verse focuses on the singer's experiences with religion and the way he feels he is often persecuted and misunderstood because of his beliefs. He calls out "so-called Christians" for labeling him as evil and being quick to believe in conspiracies, painting himself as a victim of their prejudice. However, he also expresses pride in his upbringing, which was a mix of Christian and Muslim teachings, and his ability to navigate both in his life. The second verse ultimately ties back to the themes of the first, with the singer once again asserting that he will protect his family and community at all costs.


Overall, the song has a defiant and unapologetic tone, with the singer making it clear that he is not afraid to stand up for himself and his beliefs. It's a song about resilience, strength, and the power of unity, with the repeated refrain of "we're not sorry" serving as a powerful rallying cry.
