Anthem
Captain and Blackbeer Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I do this shit for my family fuck a Grammy
Half the heads be off a Xanny
Dropping out ain't something that I'm planning
I get you don't understand me
But we are on a mission
Leading the new age of rap
I don't need your permission
I mean I'm itching to explode
Who knows?
Maybe someone will notice
I know they deaf if they don't
I'm fully loaded spitting shots at anyone with no gun
I mean I guess you could say this is 2k21 anthem

How many have to die until we fucking realize
That in order to keep our guns we gotta stop putting bullets inside
Every fucking person out on the street
It don't make sense to me taking someone's life for a felony?
Nah, that's a stupid move, yeah its true
And then you're on the news
Everybody that you know is starting to change their attitude

Fuck that shit
Been fucked up since
Two of my fucking idols lost their lives to some
Fucked up cliques

Nah

With everything that's happening
It's no wonder I keep stacking dead presidents in my closet like I started a faction
This is only a fraction
I keep it raw like I'm smashing
Full throttle never crashing
And if I do I bet you'll hear me laughing

This my shit nah this my dream
You shouldn't rap? What the fuck do you mean?
Cap in the name but that's not what I mean
I'm another rapper caught in-between
Bloody ass gunplay
But I'm only going out one way
I don't wanna die today
Any other way
Get up to the mic and slay

You know today is the day that I'm on the attack
No hesitation bitch you know it's a rap
Cap on the beat and you know that's a fact
Gettin' on track damn burnouts a fact

Only shit I fuck with
Zooted off some fucking dumb shit




And you know that if I crash
You know I always keep it one-hundred

Overall Meaning

The song Anthem by Captain and Blackbeer is a rap that speaks about the rapper's ambitions, frustrations, and concerns. In the first verse, the song talks about how the rapper is willing to do whatever it takes to achieve his goals, and he does not care about winning awards like the Grammy. He goes ahead to mention his issues with drug addiction and his plans, which do not include dropping out, as he feels like he is on a mission that will lead him to the forefront of the new age of rap. The lyrics also mention how the rapper is misunderstood, and he does not need anyone's permission to do what he does best.


The second verse seems to touch on the social and political issues that plague society. The lyrics mention the absurdity of gun violence and the need for society to take accountability and responsibility in maintaining civility. He speaks of the lost lives of his idols to gun violence and wonders how many people need to die for society to realize that maintaining guns comes with the responsibility of ensuring bullets stay away from people. The rapper also does not care about what people think about his unconventional path in life, as he is only concerned with the one thing he loves - his music.
