Can't Stop
DJ Khaled feat. Birdman & T-Pain Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Flip it all the time
When we hustlin', Young Money gunnin'
Cash Money flippin', shit them every time
When we grindin' 'cause we gettin', flippin' the change range
And doin' different thangs, hittin' the same lanes
But flippin' didn't change
Yeah, higher then we ever been
[Chorus]
You know I can't stop, can't stop, I won't stop, I won't stop
I feel like everybody's trying to kill me
So I don't stop, 'till I'm on top
And God keeps telling me I will be
If you with me then salute, you know what to do
You know what to do
Put your hands up in the air
You can make it through
All you gotta do is
Put your hands up in the air
Shinin' bright lights, hotter then them other lights
The red light flash smash on the same night
More money, now we brighter then we even been
Hundred thousand poppin' bottles, bitch we goin' in
Crystal lights, blowin' on that Khaled dro
Turkey bag, hundred thou on the marble floor
Rainbow, red bone with the triple color
Hurricane, make it rain, bitch every summer
[Chorus]
Yachts on deck, straps on deck
Sticks on deck, Stunna island, private jets
Put the house on junior nigga we place the bet
From hundred G's to flippin' hundred, bitch we hit the liq'
High on the hill, the view above the falls
Smashin' in the field, a hundred balls fall
You know how we do it, bossin' up brand new
Uptown survivor, money really shoot
[Chorus]
The lyrics of "Can't Stop" are about hustling and rising to fame and fortune. The first verse describes the constant work and effort put into making money with the lines "Shinin', grindin' on the shine/Flip it all the time/When we hustlin', Young Money gunnin'/Cash Money flippin', shit them every time." The artists are determined to succeed and are willing to do whatever it takes to make it happen. They acknowledge the success they have achieved so far but are not satisfied as they continue to "grind" for more. The repetition of "flippin'" implies that they are making money by buying and selling goods or investments.
The chorus repeats the phrase "can't stop" and emphasizes the idea that the artists will not give up until they achieve their goals. The line "I feel like everybody's trying to kill me/So I don't stop, 'till I'm on top" reveals the pressure and competition they face in the music industry but their determination to overcome it. The lyrics also mention faith in God as a source of encouragement and assurance of success with the line "And God keeps telling me I will be."
The second verse highlights the lavish lifestyle that comes with wealth, with lines such as "Shinin' bright lights, hotter than them other lights," "Hundred thousand poppin' bottles," and "Rainbow, red bone with the triple color." The lyrics display a sense of pride in their achievements but also a reminder of the hard work that has gone into attaining their success. The song ends on a strong note with lines about continued effort and growth, "bossin' up brand new/Uptown survivor, money really shoot."
