You don't seek murder like this this often
God level

You see sharks in the water
Then they try to do nothin' but put cocks in your daughter
Don't say nothin' 'bout what Ye said
Don't move, motherfucker, play dead
Yeah, we cool, motherfucker, yeah, yeah
God level
The opening lines of the song God Level by Kanye West, "Provide a new coffin, you don't seek murder like this this often" suggest that there is a level of violence and danger involved in the situation. It seems as though someone is trying to take someone else's life and the singer is urging for a new coffin for the potential victim. The next lines, "Our father, might as well make a new casket" indicate that there is a spiritual or religious aspect to the situation. The singer suggests that it may be futile to make a new coffin as the victim is destined to die anyway, and they reference the Christian prayer "Our Father" as if to suggest that the victim is in God's hands.
The chorus of the song repeats the phrase "God level" three times, emphasizing the spiritual nature of the situation. The lyrics in the verse "You see sharks in the water, then they try to do nothin' but put cocks in your daughter" suggest that there are people who are predatory and dangerous, waiting to take advantage of vulnerable individuals. The line "Don't say nothin' 'bout what Ye said, don't move motherfucker, play dead" indicates that the singer is aware of the danger and is advising others to stay quiet and still to avoid harm. The line "Yeah, we cool, motherfucker, yeah, yeah" could suggest a sense of bravado or confidence in the face of danger, but also implies that the singer may be putting on a tough front to hide their fear.
Overall, the lyrics to God Level seem to be exploring themes of violence, danger, spirituality, and bravado. The repeated phrase "God level" suggests that there is a higher power involved in the situation, and the references to sharks and vulnerable individuals suggest a sense of peril. The verse and chorus ultimately create a feeling of tension and unease, highlighting the complexity of the situation and the singer's attempt to navigate it.
