SAY SOMETHING
J-Town Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I said, good morning ladies and gentlemen
How is everybody feeling today
I hope everybody is feeling blessed
Now uh
I got
Something to say while you roll up a jay
Keep my name up out your mouth unless I'm someone you pray-ing for
Praise the LORD everybody
But anyway, here go something to play
And it may just go so hard that predators think they prey
Think I'm going for their head like I been hunting for game
But at this point why would I do that we are not the same, okay
Like don't worry dawg, I don't want you rappers spot
Talking about guns money trappin' and attractive thots
Shoot, I used to do the same then realized that I yapped a lot
But I got a secret for you, no one cares, pass it on
Don't pass me off as conscious rapping, this is just my conscience snapping
My new single slappin' while I do the dash, like subtraction
They don't really want no traction, action, like I'm Jackson
But I ain't gon smoke you I got bros that's clickin' like a seatbelt fastened
While I'm relaxing, but on a roll like I'm acting
I can't be stuck in a box homie you couldn't even package me
Hold up no human trafficking, have em' asking what's happening
Crazy cause I ain't even maxing really I'm just practicing
But I'm coming up like Heimlich maneuvers
Even hypothetically if my dream went down the sewer
Could get the sack cause I don't trap but I could sell a dream to Freddy Kruger
Sell Batman a ruger, maybe even kryptonite to super... man
So they can't even play me like I'm stupid man
Might dye my dreads back to blonde to show I'm going super saiyan
Oh I heard they talking and that's how I know that sooner than
Later my guys gon be up it's apart of the future plan
But it ain't all good talk and that's already noted
Why you talking like you finna up a pole like you voted
I ain't even 19 yet and my flow sicker than covid
I'm like a diamond in the ruff you like a nail that's corroded

As a musician I pay close attention to not only the sound, (melody, BPM, key etc) but also to the message or the words of a song. And after seeing the music video, and other vocal samples I begin to question the actual message of this song. All songs, all stories, and all poetry have a message. College English courses will teach you this. The question what is the real message of this song.
