Made you Look Freestyle
Diggy Simmons Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Yeah, it's been debated and contemplated if Diggy's overrated
But what the haters have stated never penetrated
I'm so creative and innovative and I stay motivated
by the concept of famous
And I ain't even made it
The flow I cater is something major an indicator of what happens later
It's greater than you've anticipated
That's why I leave them buzzing cause they callin me
sick sometin like robitussin
I hear you coughing I treat you often with freestyle
And as I'm walking the people talking they see now
And I know rap for my age like Lil Bow Wow
Son of a King so why would I ever bow down
Young lyricist uh, nigga be killing it
You hearing it the words out of my mouth fresher than spearmint
It's no experiment, independent appearances the way that I'm appearing
I did it without my parents but I'm still God-fearing
Filled with the holy spirit so I fly like an angel
and none of y'all even near it
Like is just like a whip and I'm old enough to be steering
And you know I'm born in Queens so Nas gave me the clearance
[Chorus:]
Flow Stoopid
How I made you look
Y'all are slaves to a page in my Macbook
They didn't know I could rap
I had them all shook
Yeah I'm a fashion nigga here's a new look
[repeated]
[Verse 2:]
Yeah I got em looking so pardon me as I check my fresh
[?] success and end up [?] class
They hearing guesses about the ventures I'm doing next
[?] just trying to be the best dressed
Well I'm just aiming to be the greatest and nothing less
Entertaining stadiums, radio's as I progress
On my whole tribe on the quest to be the best
So I came in the whole Q in the tip livin with no regrets
No stressin' is evidence of my confidence
Cutting down arrogance but still being monstrous
Part of the problem is it's all about the politics
And most of what they posting on the blogs ain't as hot as this
In the first verse, Diggy Simmons addresses the criticism he has received from haters who claim he is overrated. However, he argues that their opinions have never affected him because he is confident in his creativity and motivation. He believes he has a unique style and his talent is greater than people anticipated. Diggy mentions that some people love his music and compare it to taking a dose of cough medicine because it's addictive. He also mentions that he started rapping at a young age, following in the footsteps of his father, Reverend Run (from the group Run-DMC). Despite his young age, Diggy asserts that he won't bow down to anyone and considers himself a skilled lyricist.
In the chorus, Diggy emphasizes his flow and how he has impressed his listeners. He claims that people are metaphorically enslaved to a page on his MacBook, implying that his music has captivated their attention. He then references his fashion sense, implying that he is introducing a new style or look to the industry.
In the second verse, Diggy continues to showcase his confidence and ambition. He checks his own freshness, symbolizing his unique style and success. He mentions that people are speculating about his future ventures, specifically his fashion choices. He clarifies that his goal is not just to be good, but to be the greatest in the industry. He aims to entertain large crowds at stadiums and be heard on the radio. Diggy mentions being part of a tribe, possibly symbolizing his team or crew, and their collective mission to be the best. He embraces living without regrets or stress and believes in his own abilities, while acknowledging that arrogance can be problematic. He also acknowledges the politics and superficiality of the industry, suggesting that what is being promoted or talked about online is often inferior to his own music.

This is STILL my favorite redo of a rap song. DIGGY KILLED THAT SHIT! I listen to this song at least once a month. And that’s a lot for an old song. It goes so hard and he still stood for his beliefs in God. LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this remake song by Diggy.
