Dubstep
Danny Brown feat. Scrufizzer Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I was thinkin' 'bout somethin'
But I ain't worried 'bout nothin'
Remember when I was strugglin'
Fucked up on my knuckles
Tryin' to sell some dirt weed
Taxin' off a ten speed
Money wasn't comin'
For sure nigga I kept frontin'

I had them dubs on the step
Slow days, fast days, gettin' paper any way

And I kept lickin' on that clit
Till she gave me that shit
I've been fucked up for so long
Swear to God I gotta get it
I put my back into it
Servin' bags to them students
Tell 'em I got that fire
On that porch right there by the Buick
I'm just tryin' to get my mind
Go worry nigga 'bout yours
Rollin' up that swisher
Pourin' up a four
Servin' in them hallways
The courtrooms all day
Hoods kicked the door down
Now we in the Coney

I had them dubs on the step
Slow days, fast days, gettin' paper any way

It's the same old shit
Everybody in the manor is locked up, boxed up
It's killin' me
Niggas wanna get rid of me
Cause I lyrically bust on the riddim
Fill the room with humidity
Stick it in a manner, the heaviest rhythm bangin' out
Doubling my money gettin' my hustle in Canning Town
Listen up Danny Brown
I been doing this thing
Skipped in, then I come and lyrically assist 'em (WOO!)
I had my dubs on the step
I never stopped cause I sit in the booth
Flipping the truth, while you're running and chatting
Thinking you're realer than Scru
You ain't so why you act, dummy
You think you bad, well that's funny
I'm try'na get Maybach money
I'm a Mac Miller, spittin' ASAP, rookie





I had them dubs on the step

Overall Meaning

In Dubstep, Danny Brown and Scrufizzer reminisce about their days selling drugs on the streets. The opening verse describes a time in Brown’s life where he was struggling to make ends meet, selling low-quality weed and riding his bike around town. The chorus speaks to the never-ending hustle, with Brown stating that regardless of the circumstances, he was always pushing to make money. The second verse, delivered by Scrufizzer, focuses on the realities of living in impoverished areas where violence and crime are rampant, and the only way to make a living is through illicit means.


The song's title, “Dubstep,” refers to the genre of music that features a heavy bass and rhythmic beat. However, the beat of this song does not follow the typical dubstep pattern but instead uses a stripped-down and aggressive beat reminiscent of early trap music. The lyrics of the song paint a picture of the desperation and struggle to survive within Brown and Scrufizzer's neighborhoods.

Estaba pensando en algo
I was thinkin' 'bout somethin'

Pero no me preocupa nada
But I ain't worried 'bout nothin'

Recuerda cuando estaba luchando
Remember when I was strugglin'

Jodido en mis nudillos
Fucked up on my knuckles

Tratando de vender un poco de hierba de tierra
Tryin' to sell some dirt weed

Taxin 'off a diez velocidades
Taxin' off a ten speed

El dinero no venía
Money wasn't comin'

Seguro, negro, seguí adelante
For sure nigga I kept frontin'

Los tenía doblados en el escalón
I had them dubs on the step

Los tenía doblados en el escalón
I had them dubs on the step

Los tenía doblados en el escalón
I had them dubs on the step

Los tenía doblados en el escalón
I had them dubs on the step

Días lentos, días rápidos
Slow days, fast days

Conseguir papel de cualquier manera
Gettin' paper any way

Conseguir papel de cualquier manera
Gettin' paper any way

Conseguir papel de cualquier manera
Gettin' paper any way

Conseguir papel de cualquier manera
Gettin' paper any way

Y seguí lamiendo ese clítoris
And I kept lickin' on that clit

Hasta que ella me dio esa mierda
Till she gave me that shit

He estado jodido por tanto tiempo
I've been fucked up for so long

Juro por dios que tengo que conseguirlo
Swear to God I gotta get it

Le doy la espalda
I put my back into it

Sirviéndoles bolsas a los estudiantes
Servin' bags to them students

Diles que tengo ese fuego
Tell 'em I got that fire

En ese porche junto al Buick
On that porch right there by the Buick

Solo estoy tratando de conseguir mi mente
I'm just tryin' to get my mind

Vete a preocuparte nigga por el tuyo
Go worry nigga 'bout yours

Enrollando ese swisher
Rollin' up that swisher

Vertiendo un cuatro
Pourin' up a four

Sirviendo en los pasillos
Servin' in them hallways

Las salas de audiencias todo el día
The courtrooms all day

Las capuchas derribaron la puerta
Hoods kicked the door down

Ahora estamos en el coney
Now we in the Coney

Los tenía doblados en el escalón
I had them dubs on the step

Los tenía doblados en el escalón
I had them dubs on the step

Los tenía doblados en el escalón
I had them dubs on the step

Los tenía doblados en el escalón
I had them dubs on the step

Días lentos, días rápidos
Slow days, fast days

Conseguir papel de cualquier manera
Gettin' paper any way

Conseguir papel de cualquier manera
Gettin' paper any way

Conseguir papel de cualquier manera
Gettin' paper any way

Conseguir papel de cualquier manera
Gettin' paper any way

Es la misma mierda de siempre
It's the same old shit

Todos en la mansión están encerrados, encerrados
Everybody in the manor is locked up, boxed up

Me esta matando
It's killin' me

Niggas quiere deshacerse de mí
Niggas wanna get rid of me

Porque me reviento líricamente en el riddim
Cause I lyrically bust on the riddim

Llena la habitación de humedad
Fill the room with humidity

Pégalo de una manera, el ritmo más pesado lo golpea
Stick it in a manner, the heaviest rhythm bangin' it out

¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿????????????
Doubling my money getting my hustle in Canning Town????

Escuche a Danny Brown
Listen up Danny Brown

He estado haciendo este tintineo
I been doing this ting

Salte, luego vengo y les ayudo líricamente
Skipped in, then I come and lyrical assist 'em

CORTEJAR
WOO

Tenía mis doblajes en el paso
I had my dubs on the step

Nunca me detuve porque me siento en la cabina
I never stopped cause I sit in the booth

Estoy escupiendo la verdad, ???
I'm spittin' the truth, ???

más real que Scrooge
realer than Scrooge

No eres así por qué actúas, tonto
You ain't so why you act, dummy

Crees que eres malo, bueno, eso es gracioso
You think you bad, well that's funny

Estoy tratando de conseguir dinero de Maybach
I'm try'na get Maybach money

Soy un Mac Miller, escupiendo lo antes posible, novato
