Rules
J. Galloway Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Se llena el vacío, solo si escribo
Hace meses ya que perdí los estribos
En tu Dios ya no creo, da igual el trofeo, rapeo y me inhibo
Lo confieso, a veces me olvido de quien coño soy y por qué sigo vivo
No diste tu mano, miraste tu ombligo
Cuando yo esté arriba, querrás cacho primo
A mí no me vale tu cara de cretino
Matando mi tiempo como un asesino, si ella me mira me callo
Predije mi fallo sin ser adivino
Disparo alfileres pero hoy no estoy fino, no estás dónde quieres culpa del destino
Si quieres consejos tengo solo uno, tu ignora y escoge tu propio camino
What can I say, imma just follow my own fuking way
I get tired of their lies, get the fuck out my side if you like to betray
Believed in you, now there's no one to blame
Dreaming the moon, I'm asking who the fuck caused all this pain
You see the wire, on the wall hundreds of paints
Feel desperation like you feel the fire but don't see the flame
See, their lyrics so lame, I hear you shouting my name
All this time being lovesick until I saw her putting my pic in a frame
Fuck you now hoe, thanking everyone who came
You better go, don't look for me if I reach the fame
U don't care about me, it seems like you're playing a game
She left all these scars on my heart, and now you can see the blood stains
What do you want you guys all seem like the same
I don't believe in no God, bro I don't believe in no saint
You asking why, judge by the damage she did to my faith
I don't trust nobody cuz among these people the half will be fake
Dicen que recibes lo mismo que das, pero a mí no me salen las cuentas
Tu música nunca ha sido de verdad si tú único objetivo es estar en top ventas
Así que de qué coño me vas a hablar, si no tienes la mente abierta
Alrededor mía quiero la verdad, si no crees en mí primo cierra la puerta
Sometimes I feel like you can't understand me
He got a good beat I know he Gon send me
Imma just show you what I have done lately
Only good music all g nothing's basic
What can I say, imma just follow my own fucking way
I get tired of their lies, get the fuck out my side if you like to betray




Believed in you, now there's no one to blame
Dreaming the moon, I'm asking who the fuck caused all this pain

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to J. Galloway's song "Rules" touch on themes of self-doubt, betrayal, and the search for authenticity in the music industry. The opening lines, "Se llena el vacío, solo si escribo" ("The emptiness fills, only if I write"), suggest that the act of writing and creating music is a way for the artist to find meaning and purpose in life. However, the following lines reveal a struggle with mental health and personal identity, as the artist admits to losing control and forgetting who they are.


The lyrics also touch on the idea of betrayal, with lines like "You see the wire, on the wall hundreds of paints / Feel desperation like you feel the fire but don't see the flame." The image of a wire and hidden paints suggests that someone is secretly plotting against the artist, while the feeling of desperation reflects the artist's own sense of helplessness in the face of this betrayal. The chorus repeats the line "Believed in you, now there's no one to blame," suggesting that the artist feels let down by someone they once trusted.


Ultimately, the song reflects the artist's desire to carve out their own path in the music industry and stay true to themselves, even in the face of pressure to conform. This is reflected in lines like "Your music has never been real if your only goal is to top sales / So what the fuck are you going to tell me if you don't have an open mind?" The chorus repeats the defiant refrain, "Imma just follow my own fucking way / I get tired of their lies, get the fuck out my side if you like to betray."

I started using his techniques a year ago and have ran 6 10k races and 4 half marathons - I’m a believer

Time + Matter + Chance...now that takes greater faith than I have! Otherwise, I really appreciate Galloway’s philosophy.
