Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

The music something like a leech it got a hold on me
It's something about this music man I can't let it go
It's something about this music man I can't let it go
Some people think that we need to give up and let it go
The music something like a leech it got a hold on me
It's something about this music man I can't let it go
It's something about this music man I can't let it go
So I'ma speak my proverbials and forever flow

Don't matter if I be the greatest rapper still I am
'Cause just to be famous niggas be out here killing fam
Don't put me in the category of a soul-seller
But put my soul in my music so I'm a soul-seller
It's in me so I ain't gon' give it up or fold never
So hot that we don't have to bundle up in cold weather
You niggas timid we attempt this shit with bold effort
You niggas tripping I could never take a pole ever
A whoe-catcher throwing it right back to the pitcher
A dream-caster helping you see the bigger picture
Ain't about who got the latest or got the bigger figure
It's about who got the biggest heart and the smartest trigger
Even though you may be famous it ain't no artist bigger
Than the one who put us in this picture now go figure
Out a way you can make your artistry impact the world
Reshaping the minds of young boys and baby girls

The music something like a leech it got a hold on me
It's something about this music man I can't let it go
It's something about this music man I can't let it go
Some people think that we need to give up and let it go
The music something like a leech it got a hold on me
It's something about this music man I can't let it go
It's something about this music man I can't let it go
So I'ma speak my proverbials and forever flow

Fuck that I'ma get up and stand up for my right
To get up in the booth and speak my truth
You don't really hear what I gotta say
'Cause you're scared that you might hear something 'bout you
I'm dedicated highly medicated
Play my songs when I'm meditating
We're highly hated 'cause we're melanated
But it never stop us from elevating
No separation from this music
I like to play it and I like to use it it's theraputic
It be keeping me sane whenever I'm going through it
Your opinion don't mean nothing to me
I'ma keep coming with nothing but heat
It's serious but also fun for me
Spit like a hundred-round drum on a beat
If the truth is what you seek then this is what you need
I'ma keep coming with it
Every time The Most High speak through me
I'ma just run with it
I don' linked up with NonFiction
And we ain't with the funny business
Two niggas with the same vision
Trying to be on a higher demension
This audio dope and I'm addicted
To cooking up and shipping it out
Deep with it my wrist in the pot
Rapping or not I'ma get to the top
Like it or not I'ma do what I wanna
I'ma keep blowing on marijuana
I don't fit in I stick out like a boner
I stick out like a boner

The music something like a leech it got a hold on me
It's something about this music man I can't let it go
It's something about this music man I can't let it go
Some people think that we need to give up and let it go
The music something like a leech it got a hold on me
It's something about this music man I can't let it go




It's something about this music man I can't let it go
So I'ma speak my proverbials and forever flow
