MATH
Latrell James Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You ain't gotta talk you saying it a lot just from the link in your bio
You bring your five I bring my fave make it a cinco de mayo
You picking sides, I make a line then I go single them out
Usually I'm quiet but I got the time, here's few things that been on my mind
Got a beemer in the projects man that shit ain't adding up
Got a rollie and you walking man that shit ain't adding up
Got more followers than dollars man that shit ain't adding up
That's why you be mad as fuck
That's why you be mad as fuck
Ain't left my bed and I made me a stack
Can I get more independent then that
Hit up my homies and roll up a jersey that's one in the front and one in the back
Make winning plays I don't worry bout stats
Smoking a blunt it ashed in my lap
The ball's in the trunk and so is the so is the
Still in the basement and got me plaque
General statement I'm stating the facts
Y'all claiming these spaces, im calling it vacant
Then I heard my echo say where y'all be at
38 special need more than a gecko to save your lil ass from this rat tat tat tat
Granny's pearl return of the mack
I can not tell you a word about that
You ain't gotta talk you saying it a lot just from the link in your bio
Your bring your five I bring my fave make it a cinco de mayo
You picking sides, I make a line then I go single them out
Usually I'm quiet but I got the time, here's few things that been on my mind
Got a beemer in the projects man that shit ain't adding up
Got a rollie and you walk man that shit ain't adding up
Got more followers than dollars man that shit ain't adding up
That's why you be mad as fuck
That's why you be mad as fuck
Ain't no more playing it safe, you planted a lie
They planning your wake, I pan to the sky when I need a break
You plan to reply, the planet of apes will be at your front door
I got my eyes on bigger estates, your hamster wheeling your running in place
My hands are sweating don't make a mistake
Ain't get the memo, I've been this way from the get go
The man from the land of the Citgo
I'm instrumental to all the careers of rappers that's rapping on my instrumentals
This ain't my ego, just ask my people they'll prolly take care of you for a few eagles
Latch on the door don't you look through the peephole
It's in the air I recall Beanie Sigel
You ain't gotta talk you saying it a lot just from the link in your bio
Your bring your five I bring my fave make it a cinco de mayo
You picking sides, I make a line then I go single them out
Usually I'm quiet but I got the time, here's few things that been on my mind
Got a beemer in the projects man that shit ain't adding up
Got a rollie and you walking man that shit ain't adding up
Got more followers than dollars man that shit ain't adding up




That's why you be mad as fuck
That's why you be mad as fuck

Overall Meaning

In the song "MATH" by Latrell James, the lyrics touch on a variety of themes and ideas. In the first verse, the lyrics suggest that actions speak louder than words, and someone's online persona can reveal a lot about them. The line "You ain't gotta talk you saying it a lot just from the link in your bio" implies that the information shared in someone's online bio can give insight into their personality or priorities.


The second verse introduces the concept of comparing oneself to others. The line "You bring your five I bring my fave make it a cinco de mayo" suggests that the singer is confident in their own abilities and can hold their own in any situation. They focus on highlighting their strengths and singling out people who might be standing in their way, saying "I make a line then I go single them out." This verse highlights the importance of self-assurance and individuality.


The following lines shift the focus to material possessions and social status. The lyrics mention having a BMW in a disadvantaged neighborhood, owning a fancy watch but still walking, and having more followers on social media than actual wealth. These observations critique the notion that material possessions or social media popularity equate to true success or happiness. The repeated line "That's why you be mad as fuck" suggests that those who prioritize these superficial indicators may be unsatisfied deep down.


The third verse takes a more introspective turn, focusing on personal growth and ambition. The lyrics mention being done with playing it safe, recognizing the need to step outside one's comfort zone to achieve greater things. The line "I pan to the sky when I need a break" implies seeking inspiration or guidance from something greater than oneself. The lyrics also touch on the idea of influence, with the singer claiming to be instrumental in the careers of other rappers who use his instrumentals. This could imply a sense of pride and confidence in his artistic abilities.


In summary, "MATH" by Latrell James explores themes of authenticity, individuality, societal expectations, materialism, and personal growth. It encourages listeners to value actions over words, embrace their unique qualities, question societal norms, and pursue personal aspirations with determination and confidence.
