Wait a Minute
Kxng Crooked Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You do too much singin'
Whatโฒs up, my COB? Wait a minute
Today, it's time to stop singin' and start swinginโฒ
Wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute
Wait a minute, wait a minute
I gave you Good vs. Evil, and then I gave you a sequel
They snatch you up out the Regal, they chokin' you for no reason
The force that they use is lethal, I told you to leave โฒem bleedin'
You gonโฒ feel me next time, COB, ain't ya? Wha? Huh?
Now wait a minute, wait a minute
You gonโฒ feel me next time, COB
Now wait a minute, wait a minute
Thะตy tell you just who they are, but you lovะต 'em so y'all forgive it
Yโฒall committed to put your skeletons with the closet bigots
They plottinโฒ to take your life, got a coffin you all could visit
Call it civic duties, I pull the curtain from Oz's wizard
You cowardly lions, we proud and defiant, we prowlinโฒ with iron
We found an alliance with the powerful science and weaponry
You comin' around here and your life is in jeopardy
Blaow and you dyinโฒ, rounds'll be flyinโฒ, your spouse'll be cryin'
You see โฒem through weโฒre equal, we see all our people die
Turnin' our other cheek to cry, watchinโฒ the government cheat and lie
We just wanted a piece of pie, we just wanted to reach the sky
I know you hate a decent guy, the reason why, he is I
Got me on a corner pistol packin' like I should
Iโฒm a genie from the hood, man, I wish the world was good
'Cause these racist muhfuckas out here dressinโฒ like the cops
How our opps dressing like the opps? I already told you
You gon' feel me next time, COB, huh? Wha?
Wait a minute, wait a minute
You gon' feel me next time, COB
Now wait a minute, wait a minute
You gonโฒ feel me next time, COB, ainโฒt ya? Well ain't ya?
Wait a minute, wait a minute
You gonโฒ feel me next time, COB
Wait a minute, wait a minute
Got some hooties in my DM
Crooked, Crooked
The fat booties wanna see him
Yeah, the tannin' of America, Iโฒm scarin' ya
I grind AM to the PM
Wait a minute
I turn my loser ass GM to a BM
Thatโฒs a W, wait a minute
I stimulate the economy, tryna get outta poverty
Tryna get out the hood, you refuse to sell me the property
I thought we was cool, why you cockblockin' and stoppin' me?
I look at TV, everything is hippity-hoppity
You takinโฒ my culture so Iโฒm comin' to take some equality
I solemnly swear to ball out, fuck your monopoly
Iโฒmma be in the coop, lettin' the llama ring
Drivinโฒ so fast, I'm poppinโฒ some drama mean, yanadamean?
(Yo, hello man, who you got on this album man? Who are you featuring?) Huh? What?
(I wanna see you rap with this dude, that dude) The fuck you talking about?
(Hey, you know what? What's the track list?) Fuck outta here
(I ain't gonna like this shit if you donโฒt-)
Man, shut the fuck up, bitch
Yo, yโฒall tryna keep your Jordan and leathers fly
Google 'transhumanizationโฒ and find out why Elon Musk'll never die
Thatโฒs the truth, where the lie?
Wait a minute
You gon' feel me next time, COB, huh? Well ainโฒt ya?
Huh, wait a minute
You gon' feel me next time, COB
Wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute
You gon' feel me next time, COB
Wait a minute, wait a minute
You gonโฒ feel me next time, COB
Well ainโฒt ya? Wait a minute
Kxng Crooked's "Wait a Minute" is a politically charged rap song that addresses issues of racial inequality and police brutality. The opening lyrics criticize those who prioritize fame and music over activism and social justice. The rapper then refers to his previous album, "Good vs. Evil," and its sequel, which highlighted the unjust killing of African Americans by law enforcement, and the subsequent lack of accountability. He condemns the excessive use of force by police and implores his fans to take action against systemic racism.
Crooked then criticizes those who remain silent and complacent in the face of oppression, even when they know the truth. He calls out those who harbor prejudice and bigotry but still try to hide it. The rapper asserts that such people are plotting against the African American community and warns that their lives are in danger if they continue to turn a blind eye to injustice.
In the last verse, Crooked addresses his critics who only care about material wealth and fame rather than substance. He encourages fans to google "transhumanization" to better understand why people like Elon Musk will never die. He ends the song with a powerful call to action, warning that change is coming and that African Americans are no longer willing to sit by and watch as their people are targeted and oppressed.
