Attitude
Deante' Hitchcock Lyrics

Ay (yeah), yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Start of the song with ad-libs

Oh yeah, (can't be scared, ho)
The artist is hyping himself up to not be afraid

Ay, ay
More ad-libs

Ay, ay, ay, ay, ay, ay
Even more ad-libs

Ay, ay, ay, woo, mmm, mmm, ay
Final ad-lib before the first verse

And my bitch got a attitude
The artist's girlfriend has a strong personality

Stack it up and show gratitude
Save money and be thankful for what you have

Got a drink in my cup and this bitch goin' up
Having a good time and getting intoxicated

Bitch, I'm changin' my latitude
The artist is changing his mindset and perspective

How I walk the play with a mug on my face
The artist is confident and unaffected by others

You would think I was mad at you
The artist's demeanor may be interpreted as angry

I'ma do what I does, what a motherfucker does
The artist is going to do what he does best without apology

And I did what I had to do, okay
The artist made tough decisions to get to where he is

My bitch got a attitude
Reiteration that the artist's girlfriend is strong-willed

Posted up in the cut with a mug on my face
The artist is posted somewhere discreetly with a serious expression

I'ma do what I does, what a motherfucker does (yeah, yeah)
Reiteration that the artist will stick to what he knows best

And I did what I had to do, okay (yessir)
Another affirmation of the artist's past actions

'Kay, you been out doin' you, I been outdoin' you
The artist has been more successful than his opposition

Smoke a blunt, meditate like the Buddhist do
The artist relaxes and reflects like a Buddhist would

Chip on my shoulder, but fuck it, that's usual
The artist has a lot to prove and is willing to work hard to do so

Boxed in, I can't work in no cubicle
The artist can't see himself working a mundane job

Dead to the world, I ain't even get a funeral
The artist feels like he's been overlooked despite his efforts

See, this life black and white like Zoboomafoo
Comparing the complexity of life to a children's show

Tryna figure it out like a Rubik's cube
The artist struggles to understand his surroundings

Still livin' life like I'm bulletproof
The artist is bold and can handle anything that comes his way

We in this bitch fucked up, double-cupped up
The artist is under the influence and partying hard

Mad for no reason, feelin' stuck, bruh
Despite his success, the artist still feels trapped

How I'm finna let a nigga brush us?
The artist won't let anyone get the best of him

Tell 'em, "We swingin'," we ain't playin', puck cut
The artist and his crew are ready to fight if necessary

Ain't no shot in the party, gotta look-look
The artist must always be vigilant and aware of his surroundings

12 got the call, they pullin' up, what?
The police are arriving on the scene

Who? When? Where? Better duck-duck
The artist needs to be careful and hide from the police

They ain't asking' questions, they just
The police are aggressive and will arrest anyone in sight

Don't fuck with pills, I live like a salaam
The artist doesn't take drugs and lives a peaceful life

Good people die but we stay all the time
Even good people can die, so the artist cherishes his life

Is what you livin' for real or worth dyin'?
The artist questions the worth of his lifestyle and choices

When that MAC on your head gotta make up your mind
If someone has a gun to your head, you have to make a decision

Live like an optimist, die in your prime
The artist lives positively and happily

They gon' hate, I can't relate
The artist doesn't care about haters or negativity

I ain't got time to be worried 'bout beef
The artist doesn't have time for drama or conflict

With nobody, my nigga, we got more at stake
The artist's crew has a lot to lose, so they must stay focused

"The fuck is you sayin' bruh, like, what?"
A soundbite from someone's question or disbelief

"What I'm tryna say is I can't really deal with all these worldly issues
A response to someone's question or disbelief, explaining why the artist doesn't get involved in drama

Because on top of all of that, the facts that remain"
Continuing to explain why the artist avoids conflict

Can't-can't be scared, ho, can't be scared, lil' nigga
Reiteration of the artist telling himself not to be afraid

Can't-can't be scared, ho (scared), can't be scared, lil' nigga (scared)
Reiteration of not being afraid, with emphasis on the word scared

Can't-can't be scared, ho, can't be scared, lil' nigga (can't be scared)
Final reiteration of the artist telling himself not to be afraid

Can't-can't be scared, ho (uh), can't be scared, lil' nigga (hold on)
Despite any doubts or fear, the artist will persevere

Can't be scared to go get some money
The artist can't let fear stop him from making money

Can't be scared to commit a crime
The artist may take risks to make money and succeed

Can't be scared to go do some time
The artist may face consequences for his actions, but he won't be afraid of them

Can't be scared lil' nigga (can't be scared lil' nigga), yeah
Reiteration of not being afraid despite any risks or obstacles

Put me on the money, sh-shoot you in your head, young nigga
The artist will do whatever it takes to make money and protect himself

Yeah, nigga talk gangsta (yeah), show me he scared lil' nigga
The artist sees through fake gangster personas and recognizes fear

Yeah, I got my Glizzy, Glizzy got the .30 (yeah)
The artist has a gun and is prepared for anything

Aim in your face, a motherfuckin' murder
The artist is ready to kill if necessary

Yeah, yeah, know a nigga dead, my nigga
The artist has killed before and is unapologetic

Yeah, beam on the Glock, knock off your head, my nigga
The artist's gun is equipped with a laser sight and can easily kill

Yeah, she won't stop, no (nah, nah), I'm not scared my nigga (I ain't)
The artist's girlfriend won't stop doing something, and he's not afraid of anyone

Smoke one of you nigga like this spliff, easy (don't be scared, nigga)
The artist is confident and unafraid of anyone who opposes him

Don't be scared, nigga, you scared to die? (no)
The artist challenges anyone who is afraid of death

Can't-can't be scared
Final reiteration of the artist telling himself not to be afraid
