Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Nobody likes you
You look like an animal
Go back to the zoo
Happy Birthday to You
Nobody likes you
You look like an animal
Go back to the zoo
Lets Dance
Nachoo Nachoo
Birthday Bums
Birthday Bums
Dj Dance and cake have a fun
Birthday Bums
Birthday Bums
Dj Dance and cake have a fun
The lyrics to G.Bonson's song "Nobody but You" feature two contrasting themes. The first verse starts with a religious phrase referencing Psalm 23:4: "Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me. Your rod and your staff, they comfort me." This line expresses hope in the face of adversity, acknowledging that even in the darkest times, one can find solace in faith. The second part of the verse speaks of abundance and triumph in the presence of enemies: "You prepare a table for me, in the presence of my enemies. You anoint my head with oil, my cup overflows. Surely goodness and love will follow me, all the days of my life. And I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever." This verse communicates a sense of victory and confidence in one's ability to overcome obstacles.
The second half of the song is quite different in tone and subject matter. It talks about a life of crime, death, and loss. The rapper describes himself as "the hip-hop version of Nicky Tarantino" (a character from the movie Casino), vengefully taking money and power from the rich, and causing destruction. The chorus repeats the phrase "You're nobody till somebody kills you" multiple times throughout the song, emphasizing the violent, nihilistic perspective. The lyrics overall present a conflicted picture of life, with the hope and despair coexisting in an uneasy balance.

Yea though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death
Even in the darkest of times, I will not fear because of your presence
I will fear no evil, for you are with me
I have no fear because I am comforted by your presence
Your rod and your staff, they comfort me
Your guidance and protection bring me comfort
You prepare a table for me, in the presence of my enemies
Even in the presence of my enemies, you provide for me
You anoint my head with oil, my cup overflows
You bless me with abundance and prosperity
Surely goodness and love will follow me, all the days of my life
I am surrounded by love and good things will come my way
And I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever
I will always be with you no matter what happens
Niggaz in my faction don't like askin' questions
My associates are not fond of inquiring
Strictly, testing, coke measuring
We are meticulous in our drug dealings
Givin' pleasure in the Benz-ito
We enjoy life's luxuries
Hittin' fanny, spendin' chips at Manny's
We indulge in sexual pleasures and expensive things from designer stores
Hope you creeps got receipts, my peeps get dirty like cleats
I hope you have proof of your actions, as my people are willing to do whatever it takes to win
Run up in your crib, wrap you up in your Polo sheets
We will invade your home and use your nice things against you
Six up in your wig piece, nigga decease
We will kill you without hesitation
Mwa, may you rest in peace
I bid farewell to those who have passed away
With my Sycamore style, more sicker than yours
My style is unique and superior to others
Four-four, and fifty-four draw
My guns can cause great damage
As my pilot, steers my Leer, yes my dear
I am driven in a luxurious car with a skilled driver
Shit's official, only, the Feds I fear
I am legit, but still afraid of the government
Here's a tissue, stop your blood clot crying
Stop complaining and deal with the consequences
The kids, the dog, everybody dyin', no lying
Everyone around me is dying
So don't you get suspicious
Do not be suspicious of me
I'm Big Dangerous you're just a little vicious
I pose a greater threat than you
As I leave my competition, respirator style
I easily surpass my competition
Climb the ladder to success escalator style
I am on the fast track to success
Hold y'all breath, I told y'all, death
Prepare yourselves for death, as I have warned you before
Controls y'all, Big don't fold y'all, uhh
I have power over you, and will not back down
I spit phrases that'll thrill you
My words are captivating
You're nobody til somebody kills you
You are insignificant until you die
Watch Casino, I'm the hip-hop version of Nicky Tarantino
I am like the character Nicky Tarantino from the movie Casino
Ask Nino, he know
Ask my associate Nino, he knows
Green with envy, the green tempts me
Money is a temptation for me
To make the rich the enemy, and take their cheese
I view the wealthy as my enemy, and try to take their money
Take their spots, take their keys, make my faculty
I will take their things and establish my power
Live happily, ever after in laughter
I will live happily ever after with wealth and power
Hah, never seen Cristal pour faster
Champagne is freely flowing
And to those bastards, knuckleheads squeeze lead
Anyone I view as an enemy will be met with violence
Three of mine dead, nuttin left to do
I have lost three people close to me, and there is no recourse
But tear they ass to shreds, leave em in bloodshed
I seek revenge by killing others
Incidents like this I take trips
After violent incidents, I go on trips to escape
Lay up in Miami with Tamika and Tammy (huh)
I spend time in Miami with women named Tamika and Tammy
Some Creole C-O bitches I met on tour
I met some women of Creole descent while touring
Push a peach Legend Coupe, gold teeth galore
They drive a nice car and have gold teeth
Told me meet 'em in the future later, they'll take me shoppin'
They want to take me shopping in the future
Buy me lavender and fuschia Gators
They will buy me expensive, colorful alligator shoes
Introduce me to playa haters and heavy weighters
They will introduce me to people in their circle who are wealthy and influential
Rich bitch shit, drinkin' Cristal
Rituals of wealthy people, like drinking expensive champagne
Til they piss the shit, uhh
They continue to drink until they have to pee
Thorough bitches, adapt to any borough bitches
These women are versatile and can fit in anywhere
Be in spots where they were no bitches, you feel me
They can go where women are not usually found
Reminesce on dead friends too
They also think about friends who have passed away
You're nobody til somebody kills you
You are insignificant until you die
You can be the shit, flash the fattest five (that's right)
You can have wealth and material possessions
Have the biggest dick, but when your shell get hit
You may be powerful, but vulnerable to violence
You ain't worth spit, just a memory
After you die, you will only be a memory
Remember he, used to push the champagne Range (I remember that)
We remember a man who used to drive a champagne-colored Range Rover
Silly cat, all suede in the rain
He wore suede shoes even in the rain
Swear he put the G in Game, had the Gucci frame
He boasted about his fashion and style
Before Dana Dane, thought he ran with Kane
He thought he was as cool as rappers Dana Dane and Big Daddy Kane
I can't recall his name (what was his name?) you mean that kid
We have forgotten his name, and have to clarify who we are talking about
That nearly lost half his brain over two bricks of cocaine?
The man we once knew lost brain function due to his involvement with drugs
Gettin' his dick sucked by Crackhead Lorraine
He engaged in sexual activity with a crack addict
A fuckin' shame, duke's a lame, what's his name?
It's a shame what happened to him, and we don't even remember his name
Darkskin Jermaine (see what I mean?)
We remember another man named Darkskin Jermaine, and see the similarities between the two men
You're nobody til somebody kills you
You are insignificant until you die
