Can't Ignore
Dave East Lyrics

Money, murder, murder
The song talks about typical hip-hop themes of money, violence, and illegal activities.

I never ran off on the plug (never)
I have always been honest with my drug supplier and never cheated them of their money.

But I run outta court
Although I manage to avoid jail time, trials and legal battles still take a toll on me.

Talking bricks like they building a fort
Referencing drug dealing and using the metaphor of bricks to describe drug packages and their abundance.

But Margiela they cannot afford
Despite their drug dealing wealth, some people still cannot afford luxury items such as designer shoes and clothing.

Loco, what's whipping good?
Asking someone what's cooking, particularly in relation to drug production and distribution.

Said it click when you hit with the fork
Click represents the sound of cocaine hitting a hot spoon to cook. Fork represents stirring the hot liquid to dissolve cocaine.

I'm true to Allah and I don't fuck with cops, keep me away from that pork
I am a religious person and avoid pork consumption. I also try to avoid the police as they pose a risk to my illegal activities.

I'm prolly one of the realest yet
I am likely one of the most authentic and genuine individuals.

Trust me these niggas can feel a threat
I am confident that my rivals and enemies can sense my fearlessness and potential threat to them.

I'm not too concerned with the internet
I am indifferent to online chatter and drama.

Come pop up in spots where we really at
Come visit us in locations where we actually hang out or conduct our illegal activities.

I think in my city I'm killing that
I believe I am making a name for myself and thriving in my hometown of Harlem.

I'm from Harlem, how I'm not conceited?
Being from a place like Harlem can result in a high level of confidence and self-assuredness.

Drop the Beamer and it's chocolate seated
I own a BMW and it has brown leather seats.

Smoking sour, you still chocolate weeded
I am smoking cannabis, while you are still intoxicated with a low-grade or weak strain.

My younging hit you, he ain't got a reason
My young associate assaulted you without any apparent motive.
