No Good
C.A.S.H. Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Can't keep living out a lie like you invested in pain
Picasso ain't paint perfect pictures but the people still paid
Picture perfects just a moment don't let the energy fade

How many times must I look back to see the path to the front
How many lessons learned from luck will lead this lad to some lunch
Packing a punch just ain't as easy as to pack it and run
Extra chances happen for some, but what if this the last one
How many times must I look back to see the path to the front
How many lessons learned from luck will lead this lad to some lunch
Packing a punch just ain't as easy as to pack it and run
Extra chances happen for some, but what if this the last one

Too much too quick to tell well me let me gone and back it up hun
Tracking my lines is something well like tracking a gun
Spitting too swift, they can't adapt and they done
They feet just be moving too slow to gone and get traction and run
Seem like Distracted and dumb is tryna become the new format to These niggas
I'll burn this bitch down before I'll be a doormat to these niggas
And that's on me, I can see the pup in a wolf that's baring teeth
I try to help the dogs eat till they mistake me for sheep

How many times must I look back to see the path to the front
How many lessons learned from luck will lead this lad to some lunch
Packing a punch just ain't as easy as to pack it and run
Extra chances happen for some, but what if this the last one

Think I had
Too many close calls
Amazing I'm still making roll call
Thought life had flipped a switch on me then fucked around and broke off
No show off but I can be
Understand don't underhand me
Communications the difference tween success and starting plan b
Life could be sweet as candy when things are just fine and dandy
But negativity trails when you got that gingerbread man gene




Niggas can struggle catching, but that shit'll never fly
So they try to hang me out to dry in other words Ku Klux Klan me

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to C.A.S.H's song No Good seem to shed light on the desire to live authentically rather than living a lie. In the very first line, C.A.S.H. expresses his desire not to live a life built around pain but to embrace the truth. Through the use of the analogy of Picasso, he points out that even the artist's imperfect art was still purchased by his patrons. He then highlights the need to hold onto good moments before they fade away, acknowledging that perfection is a fleeting moment.


The next few lines of the song seem to talk about the struggles of making it in the music industry, with C.A.S.H asking how many times he must look back to see the path to the future. He questions the role of luck, asking whether the lessons he has learned from it will lead him to success. He also acknowledges that packing a punch and succeeding as an artist is not just about running away, but more about resilience and developing the skills to keep going even when the hardships of the industry come knocking.


In the final part of the song, C.A.S.H. speaks on his own experiences, describing himself as someone who has had too many close calls, but who still makes the roll call. He talks about his understanding of the importance of communication in ensuring success and how negativity can easily trail a person with a gingerbread man gene. Finally, he points out the dangerous practice of trying to hang him out to dry, an analogy for the systemic issues and racism that he and many African Americans face, essentially creating another form of the KKK.
