43
Kenny Mason Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'm a product of how I was brought up
Everyone bought up the Fortune 500 from startup
I know I'm fortunate I ain't get shot up
I just hit the charts and I shot up
Now I'm 'bout to bring Jayxin and Vonte and Scott up
You through with if you ain't been caught up
What they talkin' 'bout if it's not us?
What they talkin' 'bout if it's not us?

Straight out Jack City, got some raps with me
All my naps pretty, all my raps witty
Got a ten texting, say the cat miss me
Got your hit records on the Mac mini
I'ma spend extra if the pack pissy
I'm a real blessing
Bless my niggas that ate scraps with me
Treat 'em stiff it they ain't stack with me
In the field
But it's some majors in the back with me
It was angels in the trap with me
I put them angels on the track with me
I went to Heaven, brought a bag with me
I brought the Devil out to scrap with me
I challenged death and got a bag, winning
They gotta level up to match with me
43, do it for the 3
In the 43, niggas growing wings
I said it's cool but they know it's heat
I never move unless I need
I was fourteen when we for the team
Now everything I do is for the team
Accept the pearly gates before defeat
Expect a victory before the peace
Hit the roof like a lightning bolt
Hit the booth like a right to vote
They done made it out of mattresses
So I ain't sleeping, bitch I'm practicing
With the crew like I like to roll
Finished school, would you like to roll?
Back to Heaven, would you like to go?

I'm a product of how I was brought up
Everyone bought up the Fortune 500 from startup
I know I'm fortunate I ain't get shot up
I just hit the charts and I shot up
Now I'm 'bout to bring Jayxin and Vonte and Scott up
You through with if you ain't been caught up
What they talkin' 'bout if it's not us?
What they talkin' 'bout if it's not us?

Watch out
Chill, ay, come on Kenny, bruh
Chill out, bruh (ay bruh, chill, chill, chill)
Watch out, bruh, that dog big as fuck, bruh (get yo' dog, get yo' dog, bruh)
That shit bite me bruh (chill, chill)
(Ay, chill, chill, chill) Come on, bruh, chill




Ay, watch out, watch out, watch out
Come on bruh

Overall Meaning

In the opening verse of "43," Kenny Mason acknowledges his privilege, recognizing that he is a product of a fortunate upbringing that spared him from the gun violence that often plagues neighborhoods like his. However, he does not take his success for granted, as he quickly shot up the charts and now seeks to bring up his friends, Jayxin, Vonte, and Scott, with him. This is a theme that runs throughout the song, as Kenny reflects on his loyalty to those who grew up with him and the importance of staying true to one's roots despite newfound success.


Kenny then transitions into discussing his own talents as a rapper, proudly proclaiming that his "raps [are] wit[tier]" than his competitors' and that he is willing to spend extra money to get the best product. However, he also acknowledges the struggle that it took to get where he is, citing the "angels in the trap with [him]" who helped him achieve his dreams. He is determined to continue pushing himself and his friends to new heights, singing that they are all "growing wings" in the 43, implying that they are ascending to a higher level of success.

@@KennyMason do you have any way to Maybe link up with City Morgue crew ? Your music is legendary already. Play ball was stuck in my head so bad I jammed it for a week and it's still there 🤣 you're ahead of your time and a fool if you stop or let anyone else try and stop you. You apparently understand the importance of sound frequency
