Doormats
E.Town Concrete Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
We took the script, ripped it, cause we wrote it
And if you ain't notice, I'm so goddam focused and
Dominant. While ya'll cats is dormant.
Turn 'em into doormats, let my footprints adorn it.
Cause I want it, and ya'll really don't.
I wish you really would, but ya'll really don't.
[Chorus:]
We be tough like the concrete
We get right back on our feet.
We get up after we fall
We keep it gansta than mostest.
What you know about tours, sleeping on floors
With the rats and roaches?
We been paid our dues, matter of fact, we overpaid.
Say goodbye, your welcome was overstayed.
In the first verse of E.Town Concrete's song "Doormats," the singer is confidently announcing that they are back and ready to take on any challengers who have been using their work for inspiration. The singer claims that they have written their own script and are completely focused and dominant, while their competition remains stagnant. The singer wants to leave their mark on their competition by turning them into doormats adorned with the singer's own footprints. The chorus reinforces the band's tough and resilient nature, stating that they get right back up after they fall and have paid their dues as a band, likely through the hardships of touring and sleeping in less-than-ideal conditions. The singer ends the verse by telling their competition that their welcome is overstayed and it's time for them to leave.
Overall, the lyrics in "Doormats" seem to be a declaration of the band's strength and resilience in the face of any adversity, both in the music industry and in life in general. The band is not afraid to assert their dominance and claim their rightful place as successful musicians who have worked hard to get where they are.
