David Banner/Lil Flip Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I live on raw emotion, baby
I answer questions, never maybe
And I'm not kind if you betray me
So, who the hell are you to save me?
I never would have made it, babe
[Bridge]
Well, then, ask for love
Could have given love
Now I'm taking love
And it's not my fault
'Cause you both deserve
What's coming now
So don't say a word
Wake up call
Caught you in the morning with another one in my bed
Don't you care about me anymore?
Don't you care about me?
I don't think so
Six foot tall
Came without a warning, so I had to shoot him dead
He won't come around here anymore
Come around here?
I don't think so
Would have bled to make you happy
You didn't need to treat me that way
And now you beat me at my own game
And now I'm finally sleeping soundly
And your lover's screaming loudly
I hear a sound and hit the ground
[Bridge]
Wake up call
Caught you in the morning with another one in my bed
Don't you care about me anymore?
Don't you care about me?
I don't think so
Six foot tall
Came without a warning, so I had to shoot him dead
He won't come around here anymore
Come around here?
I don't feel so bad
I don't feel so bad
I don't feel so bad
I'm so sorry, darling
Did I do the wrong thing?
Oh, what was I thinking?
Is his heart still beating?
Whoa, oh, oh
Wake up call
Caught you in the morning with another one in my bed
Don't you care about me anymore?
Don't you care about me?
I don't think so
Six foot tall
Came without a warning, so I had to shoot him dead
He won't come around here anymore
Come around here?
I don't feel so bad
Wake up call
Caught you in the morning with another one in my bed
Don't you care about me anymore?
Don't you care about me?
I don't think so
Six foot tall
Came without a warning, so I had to shoot him dead
He won't come around here anymore, no
He won't come around here?
I don't feel so bad
(Wake up call)
(Caught you in the morning with another one in my bed)
(Don't you care about me anymore?)
(Don't you care about me?)
(I don't feel so bad)
(Wake up call)
(Caught you in the morning with another one in my bed)
(Don't you care about me anymore)
The lyrics of David Banner's "9mm" featuring Akon, Lil Wayne, and Snoop Dogg are emotionally charged and speak to themes of betrayal, revenge, and love. The lyricist is expressing his hurt and anger at being cheated on by a lover, who he had given everything to make happy. The song's opening lines, "I didn't hear what you were saying, I live on raw emotion, baby, I answer questions, never maybe," describe his emotional state, which is impulsive and reactive, rather than thought-out and measured. The next line, "And I'm not kind if you betray me," shows his willingness to seek revenge on those who have wronged him. He wonders, "So, who the hell are you to save me?" suggesting that he doesn't need anyone to protect him, even if they mean well.
The bridge of the song, "If you needed love, well, then, ask for love, could have given love, now I'm taking love," speaks to the idea that if the person had only asked for love, the singer would have given it freely. But since they chose to betray him, he's taking their love for himself. The chorus, "wake up call, caught you in the morning with another one in my bed, don't you care about me anymore?" repeats, showing the depth of the singer's hurt and the severity of the betrayal. The line "I don't feel so bad" at the end of the chorus suggests that he's starting to feel better because he's dealt with the situation and taken revenge.
Overall, the lyrics of "9mm" are about the complexities of relationships, and how one person's actions can have severe consequences. The song speaks to the emotions of betrayal, anger, and revenge that can arise in romantic relationships, and how it can lead to acts of violence.

I didn't hear what you were saying
I was not paying attention to you
I live on raw emotion, baby
I am driven by my feelings
I answer questions, never maybe
I give clear answers without hesitation
And I'm not kind if you betray me
If you betray me, I will not be forgiving
So, who the hell are you to save me?
I don't need your help, who do you think you are?
I never would have made it, babe
I wouldn't have succeeded without your love, babe
If you needed love
If you were seeking love and affection
Well, then, ask for love
Why didn't you just ask for love?
Could have given love
I was capable of giving love
Now I'm taking love
Now I am taking what I need
And it's not my fault
I am not to blame
'Cause you both deserve
Both of you deserve what's happening now
What's coming now
The consequences that are unfolding
So don't say a word
Don't try to defend yourselves
Wake up call
A sudden realization or shock
Caught you in the morning with another one in my bed
I discovered you in my bed with someone else
Don't you care about me anymore?
Do you no longer have feelings for me?
Don't you care about me?
Are you even capable of caring about me?
I don't think so
I don't believe you do
Six foot tall
A tall man
Came without a warning, so I had to shoot him dead
He appeared suddenly and I had to kill him in self-defense
He won't come around here anymore
He's not welcome here anymore
I don't feel so bad
I don't feel too guilty about what happened
Would have bled to make you happy
I was willing to suffer to make you happy
You didn't need to treat me that way
You didn't have to mistreat me
And now you beat me at my own game
You outsmarted me or defeated me in something
And now I'm finally sleeping soundly
I am now at peace and able to rest
And your lover's screaming loudly
The person you cheated on me with is causing a scene
I hear a sound and hit the ground
I sense danger and react quickly
I'm so sorry, darling
I apologize, my love
Did I do the wrong thing?
Did I make a mistake?
Oh, what was I thinking?
I made a bad decision
Is his heart still beating?
Is he still alive?
