Ain't No Love
Chunk Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You can't get caught up in the doubt
Just gotta stay focus yea
Look
City never loved me shows they didn't show
New comers don't last long on this road
Doubt so strong it would fill your nostrils
I got all these words but they just won't flow
Adrenalin pumping the beat is nice
Can't choke now when you face the mic
It's dark up here in front the lights
Their eyes on me so I wonder if they get it
I stayed in the back let them have their shine
Karma comes around I have my ticket to go that's my ticket to blow
See I'm dope like a poppy plant
If you gone clone me via copy scan
This one goal I'm accomplishing
To rock this mic like God's plan
I wouldn't be here if it was up to man
Had my life in conversations with ransom
Situations that God brought me out of
Could've been gone I know I lived wrong
Took risk like trappers do
I mean I trap myself and hit licks to
Out the safe with cash this how I flipped the chips
That brought me cheese, cheese no pictures please
In my personal space my mind state
How can I stay above the crime rate
City never loved me shows they didn't show
New comers don't last long on this road
Doubt so strong it would fill your nostrils
Defeat in the air, fear grips your throat
I got all these words but they just won't flow
Adrenalin pumping the beat is nice
Can't choke now when you face the mic
It's dark up here in front the lights
On this road
How can I stay above the crime rate
In these critical times
The president is lying
Why watch the news when ain't none of it new
I seen families split and never patch things up
Loyal friends switch I don't know who's legit
They'll knife my back, plot on my stack
When the ones you love don't love you back
That's a hard pill to swallow if you asking me
Ain't love in the city cuz they hate themselves
All these crabs I'm bout to crack their shells
You're too insecure none of your actions pure
I hear them talk about the bag is your bag secure
City never loved me I ain't trip
Stay focused I'm a give it everything I have in this moment
Chunk create a wave big enough to move an ocean
City love a Negus now everything golden
City never loved me shows they didn't show
New comers don't last long on this road
Doubt so strong it would fill your nostrils
Defeat in the air, fear grips your throat
I got all these words but they just won't flow
Adrenalin pumping the beat is nice
Can't choke now when you face the mic
It's dark up here in front the lights
The lyrics to Ain't No Love by Chunk are a reflection of the challenges faced by musicians trying to succeed in the music industry. The song talks about how the city never loved the artist, how new artists don't last long in the industry, the doubt that fills up one's nostrils, and the fear that grips one's throat, which is a metaphor for the artist's self-doubt. The artist talks about the pressure faced when in front of the mic when performing to an audience.
Chunk further speaks about his goal of rocking the mic like it's God's plan.

City never loved me shows they didn't show
The city wasn't supportive of my dreams
New comers don't last long on this road
This industry is hard on new artists
Doubt so strong it would fill your nostrils
The fear of failure is overwhelming
Defeat in the air, fear grips your throat
The pressure to succeed is suffocating
I got all these words but they just won't flow
Writer's block is hindering my creativity
Adrenalin pumping the beat is nice
The excitement of performing is exhilarating
Can't choke now when you face the mic
I can't mess up during my performance
It's dark up here in front the lights
The spotlight is both daunting and blinding
Their eyes on me so I wonder if they get it
I hope the audience understands my message
I stayed in the back let them have their shine
I used to shy away from the spotlight
Karma comes around I have my ticket to go that's my ticket to blow
I'll have my moment to shine eventually
See I'm dope like a poppy plant
I have potential and talent
If you gone clone me via copy scan
Copying me won't work
This one goal I'm accomplishing
I'm focused on achieving my dreams
To rock this mic like God's plan
I want to perform to the best of my abilities
I wouldn't be here if it was up to man
I'm here because of a higher power
Had my life in conversations with ransom
I've been in difficult, life-threatening situations
Situations that God brought me out of
I overcame difficult situations because of my faith
Could've been gone I know I lived wrong
I made mistakes in the past that could've killed me
Took risk like trappers do
I took the same kind of risks as drug dealers
I mean I trap myself and hit licks to
I put myself in dangerous situations to make money
Out the safe with cash this how I flipped the chips
I robbed people to make money
That brought me cheese, cheese no pictures please
I made a lot of money, but it's not something to brag about
In my personal space my mind state
I'm constantly thinking about how to improve my life
How can I stay above the crime rate
I don't want to go back to a life of crime
In these critical times
The world is in a tumultuous state
The president is lying
The government can't be trusted
Why watch the news when ain't none of it new
The news is repetitive and uninspiring
I seen families split and never patch things up
I've witnessed the breakdown of families
Loyal friends switch I don't know who's legit
I've been betrayed by people I once trusted
They'll knife my back, plot on my stack
People will try to harm me for their own gain
When the ones you love don't love you back
When the people you care about don't support you
That's a hard pill to swallow if you asking me
It's difficult to accept
Ain't love in the city cuz they hate themselves
The lack of love in the city is due to people's own self-hatred
All these crabs I'm bout to crack their shells
I'm going to overcome the negative influences around me
You're too insecure none of your actions pure
You lack confidence and authenticity
I hear them talk about the bag is your bag secure
People are obsessed with money and material possessions
I ain't trip, stay focused I'm a give it everything I have in this moment
I won't let these negative things distract me from my goals
Chunk create a wave big enough to move an ocean
I want to create a positive impact on the world
City love a Negus now everything golden
If I succeed, the city will finally accept and support me

Underrated 77
My boy put me on Chunk back in "93. I had moved to Arkansas at the time. I was already on West coast music strong anyway. I was hooked automatically. A lot of people dont know about him. His music is real and so underrated.
