Don't Wanna Hurt Nobody
Lil' Boss Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You already know who it is nigga, 'King of Da Ghetto'
It's a new day and time but shit
It ain't all good but shit it ain't all bad no mo' either doe
Why'knahmsayin'? I'm tryin' to keep it civilized
But motherfuckers keep fuckin' with me doe mayne

In case you don't know my name, I'm 'bout to tell you my name
Z-Ro the crooked, 'King of Da Ghetto' all about my change
I remember when Joseph wasn't able to have thangs
Now I'm able to flip a 300-M and grab grain
There's some niggaz mad at me 'cause I got cash mayne
I'm the future of rap-a-lot, quit livin' in the past mayne
Remember flippin' with a brick, in the dash mayne
Now every time I roll up bitch give me bomb-ass brain

Probably be somebody, baby momma, I ain't ask mayne
Baby, daddy got a problem, we can hit the grass mayne
An asshole by nature, livin' in the fast lane
Stay rilla fo' reala, fuck with me and that's yo' ass mayne
Honor roll student, but I dropped out of class mayne
Ain't got a diploma, but got knots of cash mayne
To you haters I'm a waiter waitin' to serve somebody
I kill all you motherfuckers but I

Don't wanna hurt nobody, just leave me the fuck alone
Don't wanna hurt nobody, just get me through my day
Don't wanna hurt nobody, just leave me the fuck alone
Don't wanna hurt nobody but a nigga might fuck around
And bust your brain

I guess they never seen a guerilla when he stompin' and pissed
But they 'bout to see a young guerilla, whoop, they ass with his fist
I tried to move around, motherfuckers roachin' and shit
My attitude, fuck, watch how you approachin' me bitch
Asshole and ain't gon' fake it 'cause I had it by nature
And that's the result of everywhere you go niggaz hate ya
And I ain't trippin', I'ma catch one of them marks on the back street
With the black heat, slugs run up like a track meet

I'm an anybody killa, but everybody can get it
Servin' suckers in neighborhoods got it crackin' like a stick
I didn't come to hurt nobody but you bumped into mine
But we gangsters I pull a fo' and told you po' out that wine
If I wanted flex, I coulda got a strap at that moment
I'd rather keep ca-cash, ca-cash, 'cause I'm already wanted
I'm an asshole by nature, my flag's on the left side
Gave him a pass before I stepped [Incomprehensible] side

Don't wanna hurt nobody, just leave me the fuck alone
Don't wanna hurt nobody, just get me through my day
Don't wanna hurt nobody, just leave me the fuck alone
Don't wanna hurt nobody but a nigga might fuck around
And bust your brain

Now I don't wanna hurt nobody, but that's a lie
Cause it's a delight for me to bust a lip or black an eye
Or smoke a nigga like a syrup covered black 'n' mild
So don't fuck with me when I'm tryin' to make money stackin' piles
Some niggaz trie to rob me before, try to jack me now
Fuck Danny Glover, I'm the lethal weapon with maxi nine
Can't a nigga lavish any mo'?
Without a gang of niggaz and they kickin in his do'?

And nine times out of ten it'll be one of my friends
That'll lead me to my grave, murder me to get my ends
Do the crime and make a cape escape from my residence
But still show up at my funeral services 'n shit
I ain't fin' to let it happen to me, you gon' respect me
Ain't gon' be no bad actin' with me, homie
And to you haters I'm a waiter waitin' to serve somebody
I kill all you motherfuckers but I

Don't wanna hurt nobody, just leave me the fuck alone
Don't wanna hurt nobody, just get me through my day
Don't wanna hurt nobody, just leave me the fuck alone




Don't wanna hurt nobody but a nigga might fuck around
And bust your brain

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Lil' Boss's "Don't Wanna Hurt Nobody" convey a sense of defiance and exasperation with those who keep interfering with his life. Lil' Boss introduces himself as the "King of da Ghetto" and acknowledges that though things aren't all good, they're not all bad either. He tries to keep things civilized but people keep testing him. He then goes on to describe his journey from Joseph, who wasn't able to have things to a point where he can now flip a 300-M and grab some "grain." Lil' Boss then addresses those who are mad at him for having money and declares himself as the future of rap-a-lot. The chorus repeats the phrase "Don't wanna hurt nobody" four times, but the lyrics that come after every repetition indicate that he might just do that if someone continues to bother him.


In the second verse, Lil' Boss emphasizes that he tries to avoid hurting people but sometimes it's inevitable. He warns people not to approach him the wrong way and that his attitude is a result of people hating him everywhere he goes. He goes on to describe his willingness to use violence to protect his money and himself. He then acknowledges that those closest to him can be the ones who lead to his downfall and asserts that he's not going to sit back and let anyone disrespect him. The chorus repeats four times again, and the song ends with the phrase "And bust your brain."
