Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Why they keep messin with me?
I try to mind my own business
At work
At play
At church
On a date
And they still keep botherin' me
Know what?! I got somethin' in the trunk fo' em.
Be right back...

When I'm at work
Don't mess with me!
When I'm at church
Don't mess with me!
When I'm with bae
Don't mess with may!
When I get paid
Don't mess with may!

No lyin' This is a good day
I'm driving Dallas Tollway
On my way in to the office
McDonalds got my coffee

LBJ traffic nightmare
Flat tire This just ain't fair
My sticker damn it expired
Got ticket thanks cop!

My engine overheated
My temper overheated
A rock bounced off my windshield
It cracked it five hundred bills

I finally got to my desk
Just when I prayed to be blessed
More drama comin my way
No nigga! don't mess with may!

My bae lookin' sexy
She slays never messy
That dress fashionnova
Flip it over her

Head is fixed up real nice
Her nails got painted twice
She don't ask for too much
She fiiinnnnne!!

No stress my phone silent
For once she ain't violent
She cute when she get mad
But I paid for this

Date time Legacy West
Plano Earl's is the best
Some dude almost touch bae
But I blocked him yep!

It's that time my vacation
That's when I leave this nation
Exotic island hoppin'
Erotic cherry poppin'

The wifey lit just like me yeah
I kiss her then she bites me oooh
The airplane flight is quite long no
The drinks are quite strong! eh

And just when we feelin' good what
A baby screamin real loud no
Please stop it I wish they would no
The flight staff wonderin' how please

To calm it down for my sake yep
The parents not even awake nope
I wake them now they upset so
Don't test me beyotch! please!

I know I kinda sinned oops
That trip Lots of women mmmmm
Confessed all of that lust well
It's time to church I must

Ain't been in a looong time nope
I'm late break bread and wine mmmm




They love talkin' bout me nosy
Busy bodies!

Overall Meaning

"Don't Mess Around" is a track by D.E.Velopment and Loudmouth Melvin that talks about minding your own business and not messing around with someone who's working, in church or on a date. The song has various scenarios where the singer faces challenges but continues to be annoyed by outside interference. The lyrics suggest that he has a weapon ("something in the trunk") to deal with intruders, but that could also be a metaphor for his determination to defend his peace and not let anyone disturb his state of mind.


The first verse sets the tone for the song and shows the singer frustrated by people who keep bothering him while he's trying to be productive or have a good time. He tries to ignore them, but they persist, so he feels the need to show them he means business. The second verse describes a typical day for the singer, where everything seems to go wrong, from traffic to car trouble to a ticket. Despite these setbacks, he manages to make it to work, only to face more drama. The third verse is more positive, as the singer goes on a date with his bae and enjoys her company. However, even here, someone tries to interfere, but he stops them. The fourth and final verse talks about the singer's vacation, which goes well until a baby starts crying on the plane. He tries to intervene but faces pushback from the parents. He then confesses his "sins" and decides to go to church, where he faces gossip from the congregation.


Overall, "Don't Mess Around" is a relatable song that expresses the frustrations of dealing with other people's interruptions and how important it is to maintain boundaries in various settings. It's a catchy track with a playful tone that makes you nod your head with a smile as you listen to it.

Graham's KO was by far the most satisfying knockout in combat sports history!

Jeff Runyan

@Allen Andres can you show everyone the video where he "knocked him out"?

Allen Andres

Khabib knocking out Conor McGregor was a very satisfying knockout as well after all the trash Connor talked about his father.

Jeff Runyan

@Matt you mean for wanting people to see him ko'd?
