IAMDDB
I tried to take my time
But it's not working, I'ma go and get mine
Money affi mek, money's on my mind
Someone should've warned you this ain't fun it's night-
Mares, running through my mind
It's me, myself and I until the day I die
Might smile up in your face but I do not trust anything
Not even my own sight
They don't want you, they want you to fall
But I'm not falling, I'm rising above them all
And now they want my sauce
And now they singing my songs, ah
What did you think I lost, nah
My third game eye strong
And now I'm swiggin' sauce on them all, yeah
Baby girl we started from the bottom now we on top of the globe
Can you see the world?
You ain't gotta love me cause we
Got the sauce to cure the world, yeah
I don't know who they are, I am clueless
I don't know who the fuck I am choosing
You switch sides and then I keep it moving
I'm the greatest, I know they be choosy
I'm the greatest, I know I be crazy
Drinking lean and I lean moving brazy
Pour mo Henny, mo' Henny, I love it
20 20 it's savage ish money
20 20 that's gang, that's fam
20 20 don't trust you in hell
20 20 that doom not that regular
20 20 you gotta be savage
20 20 you gotta be savage
20 20 you gotta be bad
20 20 gone feed you some drugs
You come up and you're going just straight back to hell
In "Pause" by IAMDDB, the artist refers to the idea of having "sauce" as a metaphor for success and dominance. "Kill em with the sauce" means that the artist will overcome and defeat their enemies using their charisma and power. The artist expresses their motivation to work hard and make money, which is all-consuming for them. They acknowledge that the world can be a dark and scary place, and that people should be warned about the dangers and pitfalls. The artist also mentions feelings of isolation, self-reliance and mistrust in others, which seems to stem from a place of determination and independence.
Throughout the song, IAMDDB maintains a confident and powerful tone, declaring their own greatness and perseverance in the face of obstacles. They suggest that others may be jealous or envious, wanting to take advantage of their success, but the artist is not worried about that. The chorus emphasizes the idea that they have "the sauce to cure the world" which could be interpreted as a desire to help others through their success, or a sense of responsibility to use their platform for good. The final lines of the song suggest that despite any external pressure or temptations, the artist is in control of their own fate and feels confident in their ability to handle whatever comes their way.
