It's On You
Chawki feat. Dr. Alban Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

If you think I'm a fool, thats on you
They be thinking I'm a fraud, I will show you
Do it for the fam and the whole crew
If you don't know me, I don't know you
Thats true
It's Kay spitting heavy with Jay
Straight forward, I will say this plain
Forget the past, I've learned from the pain
Old aquaintencies trying to re-aquaint
She turned me down before but now she's trying to be my date
Count yourself lucky if you see my face
See me in the flesh, some of you won't see me again
Burned bridges, no malice, just keep it moving
Wish you all the best
But Im going to live my life and keep it moving
Protect your energy
Keep your eyes peeled for your enemies
And keep your circle tight and watch your frenemies
I see it in your face
I see it when you smirk
Try disrespect the kid like I don't know my worth
Blessed, theres a reason why I'm still walking on the earth
I talk a lot but I know I'm walking on my word
Still tipping these scales, trying to find the balance
I never knew the pain I felt would help me find my talent
People got hurt along the way, I won't lie about it
But theres no giving up, I've got to climb this mountain
If you think I'm a fool, thats on you
They be thinking I'm a fraud, I will show you
Do it for the fam and the whole crew
If you don't know me, I don't know you
Thats true
It's Kay spitting heavy with Jay
Straight forward, I will say this plain
Forget the past, I've learned from the pain
Brother to the famous
But to them I'm nameless
Staying in my own lane but I'm of the pavement
Coming for the bread, I'm knocking on the bakers
Still waiting for my blessing coming from the saviour
Humble hearted one, remember where you started from
From the ground up, get your pounds up to a larger sum
Give it back to the people, their a part of the sequel
Can't leave my brothers broke doing up illegals
If you think I'm a fool, thats on you
They be thinking I'm a fraud, I will show you
Do it for the fam and the whole crew
If you don't know me, I don't know you
Thats true
It's Kay spitting heavy with Jay




Straight forward, I will say this plain
Forget the past, I've learned from the pain
