Reason
Gato Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Started with Nothing
But Don’t Feel Bad for Me
Maybe That Was God Plan
For Me to Grind Hard

Left My House Early
My Whole Life in the Street
Born in the Sal
the Game Been Good to Me

Even Tho I Lost a Lot of Friends in the Game
I Be Screaming Zoeland Til the Day I Die
Man I Never Thought Lajan Would Make Him Turn on Me
Now My Used to Be Zanmi Say they Going Murder Me

Tell them Come On
I Wonder Why the Fuck they Taking So Long
Im Always in the Sal I’m Never at Home
Im Not Hard to Find So Nigga Come On

Au Nom de Kelanight
That My Reason for Getting High
Always Smoking When they See Me Kelanight

I Got It on Me the Draco or the Nine

Now My Baby Mother She Mad
Cause Some Girl Dm Her Say Im Fucking
I Don’t Know

Now My Baby Mother She Sad
Cause Some Girl Dm Her Say I’m Fucking
I Don’t Know
Niggas Dap Me Hug Me Turn Around and Go Talk Shit About Me Why Me
Nigga Say I’m Working for them Manti Djoles
Nobody Never Give Shit to Me in the Lari

I Start a Small Time Dope Game Selling Little Rock’s of Cocaine

Now This Bouzin Claim We Fucking of the Chain Man I Swear to God That Shit Is Insane


Tell them Come On
I Wonder Why the Fuck they Taking So Long
Im Always in the Sal I’m Never At Home
Im Not Hard to Find So Nigga Come On

Au Nom de Kelanight
That My Reason for Getting High
Always Smoking When they See Me Kelanight

I Got It on Me the Draco or the Nine

Now My Baby Mother She Mad
Cause Some Girl Dm Her Say Im Fucking
I Don’t Know

Now My Baby Mother She Sad
Cause Some Girl Dm Her Say I’m Fucking
I Don’t Know

Au Nom De Kelanight
That My Reason for Getting High
Always Smoking When they See Me Kelanight

I Got It on Me the Draco or the Nine

Now My Baby Mother She Mad
Cause Some Girl Dm Her Say Im Fucking
I Don’t Know

Now My Baby Mother She Sad
Cause Some Girl Dm Her Say I’m Fucking
I Don’t Know

Saaaaaal You Saaaaaal
You Saaaaaal You to Saaaaaal

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Gato's song "Reason" depict his personal journey from humble beginnings to his current success in the music industry. He acknowledges that he started with nothing, but he doesn't want anyone to pity him because he believes it was part of God's plan for him to work hard and achieve his dreams.


Gato highlights the challenges he faced growing up in the streets, particularly in his hometown of Sal. Despite losing friends along the way, he remains proud of his roots and expresses his loyalty to Zoeland (a reference to a neighborhood or community). However, he also shares his disappointment in someone from his past, Lajan, who betrayed him. This betrayal leads to threats against his life, but Gato fearlessly challenges his detractors to confront him.


The chorus of the song revolves around Kelanight, which seems to represent a state of being high or intoxicated. Smoking and having a weapon (Draco or a nine-millimeter gun) are mentioned as ways to protect himself and cope with the challenges he faces. Gato's lyrics also touch on the turmoil in his personal life, as rumors about his infidelity reach his baby mother, causing her anger and sadness.


Overall, "Reason" reflects Gato's resilience, determination, and willingness to confront adversity head-on.

Je pense qu'avoir Gato comme poto soldier à tes côtés c'est comme d'avoir tout un quartier derrière soi si ça dégénère.
C'est peut-être même mieux vu le nombre de loustics qu'avec de la bouche sans aucun vécu que tu trouves dans les quartiers.
La qualité l'emporte sur la quantité c'est connu.

PS : Sans parler de tout l'entourage de Kopp et leurs entourages respectifs...
On le voit tout le temps seul avec ses 2 enfants mais si les gens savaient, ils seraient choqués.
C'est juste qu'il a d'autres priorités maintenant.
C'est pas pour rien qu'il se permet tout et n'importe quoi sans aucune vergogne.
Tu peux rire des ratpis mais eux ne rigoleront pas avec toi.
