Wicked
Classified Lyrics

Ain't no rest for the wicked
Life is hard and doesn't offer breaks, especially to those who are wicked.

Ain't no rest for the wicked (uh uh)
Reinforcing the idea that life is hard, even harder for the wicked.

Ain't no thing
Despite the challenges faced, it's important to keep moving forward.

Yeah, you lit the fire inside us now
There's a newfound motivation and drive to succeed.

Okay, let the children run around
It's time to have fun, let loose, and enjoy life.

'Cause I'm about to play until the sun is down
A determination to make the most of every moment and work hard until the end.

I cannot be classified
A refusal to be put in a box or labeled, instead choosing to be widely versatile.

I ain't commercial or underground
Clarifying that his music isn't limited to popular or niche audiences.

6'4" and two hundred pounds
A physical description of the artist, emphasizing his strength and presence as a performer.

I'm waitin' on the money round
Working hard towards financial success and recognition.

My BB gun is loaded
A metaphorical representation of his readiness to take on whatever music throws at him.

I'm so holy, right? I'll hunt you down
A playful statement challenging his enemies, as if daring them to try and bring him down.

I skip no detail
Paying close attention to every aspect of his music, ensuring no detail goes unnoticed or unresolved.

To afford a gentleman and females
Working hard to live a life of luxury that can be shared with others.

Well, you show no emotion like emails
Referencing the lack of emotional depth in digital communication and calling out those who are emotionally distant.

I ain't no thrift shop rapper, nothing go on resale
Affirming that his artistry is unique and valuable, not something to be bought and sold like secondhand clothing.

My raps stay on track, never derail, I prevail
Confident in his abilities as a songwriter and performer, certain that he will always stay focused and successful.

The world's a mess and I fit in perfect, uh
Acknowledging the chaos of the world and finding comfort in his place within it.

The wicked never rest, work until there's work in, uh
A play on the phrase from the beginning of the song, referencing that the wicked must always work hard and stay productive.

We used to live for the moment
Reflecting on the past when people were truly present and in the moment, before the age of smartphones and social media.

Now we tape it on our camera phones
How society has shifted towards recording and documenting moments rather than fully experiencing them.

And take it home and show our friends what they're missing
Sharing these recorded moments to give others a glimpse of what they couldn't physically witness.

I don't get it
Baffled by this phenomenon and why people value sharing over living in the moment.

We're living in the new era
Recognizing that society is advancing and changing rapidly in this modern age.

I'm back wearing these snap backs
Returning to an older style of fashion, embracing the past while still moving forward.

'Cause some reason my fitted hats are out of shape and fitting whack
Realizing that these aforementioned hats no longer fit, almost as a metaphor for personal growth and change.

I call it how I see it
Speaking honestly and directly with no room for misinterpretation.

State the obvious like Twitter facts
Referencing social media once again and how it is a platform for sharing quick, obvious statements.

I'm filling a position
Taking on a role in the music industry, filling a needed void and proving his worth.

Yeah, the designated hitter's back
Another baseball metaphor, akin to returning to the game and making an impact.

Aye yo, I'm thinking out the box and stepping out of my perimeter
Pushing boundaries and stepping outside of the proverbial box to create something new and unique.

I overbook myself, but not on purpose like Air Canada
Making light of an infamous Canadian airline's tendency to overbook flights and leaving no room for error in his own busy schedule.

I'm coming from the land of the Lost, so I'm cautious
Coming from a place of struggling and difficulty, causing him to be cautious and not take things for granted.

I got no time to waste money, so I don't buy no watches
Focused on being productive and making the most of his time, rather than spending money on unnecessary luxuries like watches.

Life can be so hard
A recurring theme throughout the song, that life is tough and requires perseverance.

But it gets harder when you stupid
Stressors are amplified when one doesn't use their intelligence and makes things harder on themselves.

At least that's what I think
Personal opinion and outlook on life, as opposed to something factually accurate.

So let me know when you go through it
Understanding that everyone's struggles are different, and inviting others to share their own experiences.

I'm a funny guy, ha ha, ha
A playful and humorous side to his personality and artistry.

And I like my eggs sunny side, up, up, up
A personal preference for how he enjoys his breakfast eggs.

But I gotta scramble
Despite his preference, he understands he must adapt and compromise in life.

With these vocals and samples before I'm trampled
Working hard before he gets overshadowed or trampled by other artists or trends in music.

To have a future in this industry is such a gamble
Acknowledging that the music industry is uncertain and unpredictable, and success is never guaranteed.

My battery is charged
Feeling energized and ready to tackle anything that comes his way.

But my cellphone signal is scattered
Technical difficulties and setbacks that interfere with communication.

I'm tryna get reception out of Rogers like the Packers
A reference to the Green Bay Packers football team and their connection to a Canadian phone company, asking for assistance to overcome these setbacks.

But all I hear is static
Unable to connect or communicate, despite trying to overcome these obstacles.

I'm a trendsetter on a vendetta with my band members
Working hard to innovate and break new ground with his music, while also competing with and challenging his peers and colleagues.

We cooler than ice packs, more flavor than spice racks
Confident in his own unique style and flavor, feeling that he stands out from the rest.

I ain't no instigator, but believe I will fight back
Not looking for trouble, but willing to defend himself and his work when necessary.

Be wicked with this
Embracing his own personal style and sound, ignoring conformity and expectations.
