Don't Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'm a trendsetta', I'm a showstoppa'
Yeah yeah
This a coke bop, we got hope bop
I'm a trendsetta', I'm a showstoppa'
Turn his whole strip, to a soap op
See the police, crease my toe box

Yeah
Romeo Romeo
Screamin' r.i.p Nip eatin' shrimp on Rodeo
Chanks told me don't stop they gon' feel it like braille
This was all in God's plan it was written in Creole
We be Green Bay packin' it
Team ain't lackin' it
We stay mackin' it
Sip on Activist
My old money had me savin' what I could
My new money got me savin' on accident
Way I get it pops say its bad news
But pops, to be true, I'm still mad at you
At age 22, can't tell me how to move
Where was your two cents when moms rent was past due
Cause I know you ain't raise me and I'm not malleable
Its no shade, all factual
The Balmains, cost a rack or two
Got a sniper in my regiment he move tactical
With a lot of pain, one day Imma start losing it
The hate gon' bring a hater to prove some shit
If I die, pray it's not on some stupid shit
Jesus died broke, Imma bust down the crucifix

This a coke bop, we got hope bop
I'm a trendsetta', I'm a showstoppa'
Turn his whole strip, to a soap op
See the police, crease my toe box
This for my drug dealas'
All my gwap gettas'
All my F boys
Running up digits
All my P.I's
All my bread winnas'
I got love for ya
Lemme fuck witchya'

Damn
Neva served hand to hand
I left university dropped all my plans
Bro was movin' burners and got caught up in a jam
I ain't have that in me so I learned how to scam
Been nice since the Tokyo Sean John
It's still free Scoby and free all my dawgs
To my ex I blamed you when it all gone wrong
But I won't point the finger cause it's all my fault
Went carry out, two chop sticks and won tons
To the marriot, room service the won tons
Got the game from Tremayne and Chanks basement days
Wish shit was the same but those days are long gone
If I could relive, I wouldn't take the risks that were tooken
Even though I got paid from how you shouldn't
I did a few thangs to put my name on a bullet
I sacrificed what you wouldn't
And became who you couldn't, it's Romeo

This a coke bop, we got hope bop
I'm a trendsetta', I'm a showstoppa'
Turn his whole strip, to a soap op
See the police, crease my toe box
This for my drug dealas'
All my gwap gettas'
All my F boys
Running up digits
All my P.I's
All my bread winnas'




I got love for ya
Lemme fuck witchya'

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Don't's song "God" are a reflection on his personal journey to success and his deep-rooted beliefs. Don't starts off by proclaiming that he is a trendsetter and a showstopper. This is followed by the line "This a coke bop, we got hope bop," which seems to refer to the fact that he has made it big in the music industry and is willing to use his platform to spread positivity.


Don't goes on to reference the death of rapper Nipsey Hussle and the fact that he is eating shrimp on Rodeo Drive, seemingly living a life of luxury. However, he acknowledges that everything that has happened in his life was written in Creole and part of God's plan. Despite his success, he remains grounded, showing love and respect for those around him, like drug dealers, breadwinners, and P.I's.


The second verse sees Don't reflect further on his upbringing and how he never served hand to hand, opting to drop out of university and learn how to scam instead. He also recognizes that his success came at a price and that he did a few things to put his name on a bullet. In the end, however, he became who others couldn't, which is why he ends the song by calling himself Romeo.


Overall, "God" is a song that explores Don't's roots and his journey to success while also acknowledging the role that faith and belief have played in his life.

Neva served hand to hand

I left university dropped all my plans
I abandoned my academic career to pursue a life of hustle and profit


Bro was movin' burners and got caught up in a jam
My friend was selling guns and got arrested


I ain't have that in me so I learned how to scam
I never wanted to be involved in anything dangerous or illegal, so I found another way to make money


Been nice since the Tokyo Sean John

It's still free Scoby and free all my dawgs
I have friends who are in jail or facing legal trouble, and I want to support them


To my ex I blamed you when it all gone wrong
I felt like my ex was a contributing factor to my problems, but I realize now that I was responsible for my own decisions


But I won't point the finger cause it's all my fault
I take responsibility for my own choices and mistakes


Went carry out, two chop sticks and won tons
I went out to eat Chinese food and ordered traditional chopsticks and wontons


To the marriot, room service the won tons
I ordered room service at a fancy hotel and enjoyed the same Chinese food


Got the game from Tremayne and Chanks basement days
I learned how to hustle from my friends Tremayne and Chanks


Wish shit was the same but those days are long gone
I wish I could go back to simpler times, but I know things have changed irreversibly


If I could relive, I wouldn't take the risks that were tooken
Looking back, I can see that some of my choices were too risky, and I wouldn't make the same decisions now


Even though I got paid from how you shouldn't
I've made money in ways that society doesn't approve of, but I still earned it through my own hard work and perseverance


I did a few thangs to put my name on a bullet
I've done some dangerous things in the past, but I don't regret them


I sacrificed what you wouldn't
I took risks and made sacrifices that others were not willing to make


And became who you couldn't, it's Romeo
Through my hard work and perseverance, I've become someone who my detractors never expected me to be

[Pre-Chorus: Kid Cudi & Philip Bailey]
Hmm-hmm
Just know what this about
Hmm-hmm-hmm, hmm-hmm
Palm trees, oceans, fresh air, that can break your heart

[Chorus: Kid Cudi & Philip Bailey]
Hmm-hmm (Stop tryna be God)
Hmm-hmm, hmm-hm

[Verse 1: Travis Scott]
Ride for it every night
Visions and these angles tight
Truth be told, I never try
Diamonds are the wife of life
All three Rollies look alike (Hm)
After two you get a hook-up price
Stripper never worked a nine-to-five (Hm)
Delta and I ship it overnight (Hm)
Stop tryna be God Almighty (Hm)
Fuck the money, never leave your people behind, yeah
It's never love, no matter what you try
Still can see it comin' down your eyes
'Cause they did not create commandments (Ooh-ooh)
When you hustle, always make it fancy (Ooh-ooh)
The signal's far from what you can be (Ooh-ooh)
'Cause air traffic controls the landing, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

[Chorus: Kid Cudi & Philip Bailey]
Hmm-hmm (Stop tryna be God)

[Verse 2: Travis Scott]
Stop tryna play God Almighty
Always keep your circle tight
I been wantin' shit my whole life
I'm warning you, better not try to play God tonight
If I love her, I'ma pass on her
First rule of war, you find an act on her
You can't win a trophy or a plaque off her
But never turn your back on her
'Cause they did not create commandments
When you hustle, always make it fancy
The signal's far from what you can be
'Cause air traffic controls the landing, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
You won't succeed tryna learn me
Stick to the roads in my journey
Stay out of court when you got the attorney
She say she love, but want to really burn me

[Chorus: Kid Cudi & Philip Bailey]
Hmm-hmm (Stop tryna be God)
Hmm-hmm, hmm-hm
Hmm-hmm (Stop tryna be God)
Hmm-hmm (That's not who you are)
Hmm-hmm (Stop tryna be God)
Hmm-hmm (That's just not your job)
Hmm-hmm (Stop tryna be God, God)

[Bridge: James Blake]
Is it the complex of the saint
That's keepin' you so, so, so still still?
Is it a coat of old paint
That's peelin' every day against our will?

[Outro: James Blake, Kid Cudi & Stevie Wonder]
Woah-oh-oh
Woah-oh-oh
Woah-oh-oh
Woah-oh-oh
That it?
