Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Hide and go seek now I come out to play
Stay by my side and I'll show you the way
Promise me one thing that you'll never fade
Feeling so anxious what i gotta do
Fuck the temptations I gotta be true
People they leaving I'm losing my crew
But I'm still shining my future is new
I'm on my grind you see that's a catastrophe
Shoving them down all the people who doubted me
Seeing me shine well damn right you about to be
I'm doing me, I work for my seat
Tryna live free, I'm at no defeat

In "Upset" by Ladon, the lyrics express a sense of independence and defiance. The artist declares that they don't owe anything and don't need to conform to societal expectations or norms. They are ready to assert themselves and take control of their life. The line "Hide and go seek now I come out to play" suggests a metaphorical hiding or suppression of one's true self, and now they are ready to show the world who they really are.
The artist invites someone to stay by their side and promises to show them the way. This could be interpreted as a call for loyalty and support from a loved one, with a mutual commitment to never fade or lose faith in each other. There is also a sense of anxiety about what needs to be done, but a determination to stay true to oneself and resist the temptations that might compromise their authenticity.
The lyrics also touch on the theme of isolation and losing connections. The artist acknowledges that people are leaving, and they are losing their crew, which could refer to friends or associates who once supported them. However, despite these losses, the artist asserts their resilience and shines brightly with optimism for the future. This suggests that even though others may have doubted them, the artist is determined to prove them wrong and succeed on their own terms.
The second verse continues the theme of determination and self-belief. The artist sees other rappers as insignificant compared to their own pursuit of success and personal growth. They are focused on their own grind and are not concerned with the obstacles or negativity thrown their way. The references to shoving down doubters and achieving a shining future indicate a strong sense of self-confidence and the belief that their hard work and dedication will pay off.
The chorus is a repetition of the earlier lines, reinforcing the themes of independence, resilience, and determination. The artist refuses to allow stress and negativity to consume them and instead channels their energy into their craft. They acknowledge that they may feel upset and resentful of certain people, but they find solace and release through their work and expression. The line "So I'm putting in my all yeah" reflects their unwavering commitment and drive to prove themselves and overcome any obstacles they face.
