No Offense
Cal Scruby Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Now I got a camera crew
I just point and then they shoot
Then I get up on the stage and I rock it, throw a deuce
And my team carry me off it's like I′m Jordan with the flu
Man I'm sick, yeah I'm sick but I still drop 36
38 against the Jets, 55 against the Knicks
I ain′t a shooter so no I don′t throw them bricks
Never get complacent,
I'm playing I never chase ′em,
I met her on a vacation at a tropical location
She a quarter Haitian another quarter Jamaican,
A quarter is in rotation she looking a quarter Asian
My eyes low, no wonder I drive slow
I'm under the influence and doing a live show
The better my rhymes getting they think I′ma trifold
And your girly on my mind no wonder my mind blown
Oh jeez, oh my there I go again
You don't score enough I mean no offense
Oh jeez, oh my there I go again
You don′t score enough I mean no offense
Oh jeez, oh my there I go again
You don't score enough I mean no offense
Oh jeez, oh my there I go again
You don't score enough I mean no offense
I moved out Ohio but y′all know I didn′t leave
Had to go and get it for y'all that didn′t believe
Couple years in now I'm doing this shit with ease
I turned my attention to bigger and better things
Are we friends? Are we enemies? Nothing in between
You can′t guard 'em the boy like Harden
There′s no defending me
Take a step back and you know I'm giving you three
Give me all the hate, that shit giving me energy
Oh jeez, oh my there I go again
You don't score enough I mean no offense
Oh jeez, oh my there I go again
You don′t score enough I mean no offense
Oh jeez, oh my there I go again
You don′t score enough I mean no offense
Oh jeez, oh my there I go again
You don't score enough I mean no offense
Oh my, no lie
They want me to sign away my whole life
Oh my, no lie
They want me to sign away my whole life

Who am I? Man I'm just someone new
I'm a newcomer to the game and still finding my place
Now I got a camera crew
My success has attracted attention from media outlets
I just point and then they shoot
I don't have to do anything special to get coverage
Then I get up on the stage and I rock it, throw a deuce
I perform confidently and give the crowd a signature gesture
And my team carry me off it's like I'm Jordan with the flu
My fans and team are supportive even when I'm not at my best
Man I'm sick, yeah I'm sick but I still drop 36
I'm talented even when I'm not feeling my best
38 against the Jets, 55 against the Knicks
I have impressive stats even against tough opponents
I ain't a shooter so no I don't throw them bricks
I have my own unique style and strengths
But I used to drop the dimes how you think I got them kicks
I used to be a successful collaborator and earned my own success
Never get complacent, I'm playing I never chase ′em
I strive to keep improving and don't let success go to my head
I met her on a vacation at a tropical location
I had a romantic encounter while traveling
She a quarter Haitian another quarter Jamaican, a quarter is in rotation she looking a quarter Asian
The woman I met has a diverse background and looks
My eyes low, no wonder I drive slow
I may be under the influence and need to be careful
I'm under the influence and doing a live show
Despite this, I am able to perform live
The better my rhymes getting they think I′ma trifold
Fans think I have the potential to become even more successful
And your girly on my mind no wonder my mind blown
I'm preoccupied with thoughts of a woman and it's affecting my focus
I moved out Ohio but y′all know I didn′t leave
I may have left my home state, but my roots are still important to me
Had to go and get it for y'all that didn′t believe
I had to work hard to prove those who doubted me wrong
Couple years in now I'm doing this shit with ease
After some time, I have found my groove and performing is easier
I turned my attention to bigger and better things
I have set my sights on higher goals and aspirations
Are we friends? Are we enemies? Nothing in between
There is only a clear divide between those who support me and those who don't
You can't guard 'em the boy like Harden, There's no defending me
I'm too good to be stopped, just like Harden on the basketball court
Take a step back and you know I'm giving you three
I'm able to hit difficult shots and make it look easy
Give me all the hate, that shit giving me energy
Negative feedback motivates me to work harder and prove people wrong
Oh my, no lie, They want me to sign away my whole life
Despite my success, record labels have demanding expectations

Who am I? Man I’m just someone new
