Gatekeeper
Geoblu Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Guarding my realm, I'm the gatekeeper
Said you're about but I ain't seen ya
I stay paranoid, never been a great sleeper
That's probably why I spray deeper
Think back, used to be a day dreamer
And I might throw down the staff, tell a man he can't pass what d'you mean, I'm the gatekeeper
And I am the gate keeper
Said you're about but I ain't seen ya
I stay paranoid, never been a great sleeper
That's probably why I spray deeper
Think back, used to be a day dreamer
And I might throw down the staff, tell a man he can't pass what d'you mean, I'm the gatekeeper
MCs are dire
Make man envy the fire, send that's a deadly desire
Great plans, I don't wanna know about bait brands, you think it's trendy attire
And I never gotta stunt for yats
Everybody wanna snake it for the funds and racks
I know there's lots in my city and I got em saying one Mississippi coz I strike em like thunder claps
They're like, who's that, who's that? G to the E, that don you could never try flex on, no
Roll sets, lyrically blaze guys, got all of his mates like where did his headtop go?
Bare heart, letting off lyrics, I never cock a semi
You ain't ever gonna see this human like it's Tom and Jerry
And I never follow the cattle, I leave em muddled and baffled, it's not the luck of the raffle, I did it voluntary
Yeah, I am the gate keeper
Guarding my realm, I'm the gatekeeper
Said you're about but I ain't seen ya
I stay paranoid, never been a great sleeper
That's probably why I spray deeper
Think back, used to be a day dreamer
And I might throw down the staff, tell a man he can't pass what d'you mean, I'm the gatekeeper
You dun know
Killing these niggas till the sun's low
Brudda told me he want all the smoke
But I told him do you even bun though?
My nigga, don't blame me coz your funds low
Pull up on a nigga it's a punto
Mask on, aku aku, bet you thought I was gonna say kun
Coz I told them man no love for the law
Fuck Babylon, man I wanna wage war
These scrapers in my hood every week
So tell me why my brudda's still poor
Nothing to do so the mandem's bored
That's another youte cheffed, that's another youte bored
I ain't really into politics like that, but if it's fuck Boris Johnson then I'm down for the cause
You man are learners, L plates
You ain't got burners, burn when I send man hell's gates
Youth misguided, never spellbinded, coz you won't know where to go when the spell breaks
Square up with nighttime monsters, and my mind wonders when writing these words on the notepad
Widda lingo got em learning my vocab
Tryna find home, no like a nomad
Flare when I rap, got em quaking in fear
Scared in the back, I ain't changing the gear
Never seen brake lights, never sleep, late nights
Man move predatory, watch out for snake bites
And I don't care if he's armed widda arsenal
Make man freeze like passing the parcel
And I might sex man's boo, never let man through, coz I'm guarding my castle, listen
That is very intense
Pull up on who? Leave a Chevy with dents
My team, never see a Jezzy with gents
Wealth of the mind, not a heavy expense
Man are like rah, man are like damn son
Letting off a sixteen bar like a handgun
And I think back when the door was locked but now I straight lock off the shoobs then a man's done, watch this
Yeah, I am the gate keeper
Guarding my realm, I'm the gatekeeper
Said you're about but I ain't seen ya
I stay paranoid, never been a great sleeper
That's probably why I spray deeper
Think back, used to be a day dreamer
And I might throw down the staff, tell a man he can't pass what d'you mean, I'm the gatekeeper

I'm not afraid even if he has a wide range of weapons
Make man freeze like passing the parcel
I paralyze and shock others, like the game 'pass the parcel'
And I might sex man's boo, never let man through, coz I'm guarding my castle, listen
I might engage with someone else's partner, but I won't let someone intrude because I am fiercely protecting what's mine
That is very intense
That is extremely powerful and overwhelming
Pull up on who? Leave a Chevy with dents
Confront anyone? I'll damage their car
My team, never see a Jezzy with gents
In my group, you won't find weak individuals
Wealth of the mind, not a heavy expense
Our intelligence and knowledge are our greatest assets, not material wealth
Man are like rah, man are like damn son
People react with surprise and astonishment to our actions
Letting off a sixteen bar like a handgun
Delivering a powerful and impactful rap verse like firing a gun
And I think back when the door was locked but now I straight lock off the shoobs then a man's done, watch this
I reminisce about when opportunities were limited, but now I control and dominate the events, just watch how I conquer
