IV
M.O.T.T Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

It's been eight months and I still don't totally understand why everything happened the way it did
The whole time we've been back and forth with eachother
Divorced three months now
It still doesn't feel right
I loved you to the moon and back
I care about you till the end of time
I guess I need to let go so you can too
Sucks

I'm forced to be with someone else when I know you feel the same way about me and you're the only one I think About
The only one I truly want
And now I can't have you
I know you have low self esteem
But you were my everything
I think I was yours too
But now I'll never know
Sometimes you don't make sense
Sometimes you make all the sense in the world
We do shitty things to eachother
Why can't we stop?
I can't sleep
I work myself as hard as I can for as long as I can and I still can't sleep
I toss and turn at night thinking we failed
Why were we so lazy?

If I knew this is how it was gonna end, I would have pushed us harder
I'm sure you would've too

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to M.O.P.'s song IV are about the group's pride in their hometown of Brooklyn and their determination to protect it at all costs. The first verse is rapped by O.C. and he announces that M.O.P. and O.C are collaborating, coming together like a gun and a clip, and they're ready to do damage to any big rappers who get in their way. He's tired of playing the background and now he's taking Brooklyn back to its roots with a ten-man crew who are looking for a fight. O.C. warns that if you ever think it can't happen to you, you might end up in the East River with concrete sneakers. He declares that this means war and gives a 21-gun salute to Brooklyn.

The chorus is a reminder of the different neighborhoods that make up Brooklyn, Flatbush, Crown Heights, Brownsville, Bushwick, and East New York. Lil' Fame is the rapper of the second verse and he boasts that he's still a black cat who's quick and ready to shoot. He warns anyone trying to act rude to play the mascot, and calls out a cartoonish rapper who thought he was King of the Hill, but Fame shipped him out like immigration. Lil' Fame mentions Emancipation Proclamation, Constitutional rights and the last generation, highlighting the history of Black people in America. Then he declares that M.O.P. and O.C. hold it down for Brooklyn where guns spark and leave things smoking.

The final verse is rapped by Billy Danze, who announces his presence with a "Hot damn!" He's taking donations and if you got that fat while they were gone, he's taking it back. Danze is in control of his own destiny and only has love for the thugs that are next to him. He calls out one of his crew members, Berkuance, and boasts that he's real, and he's been doing a double danly. He's one of those dudes that niggaz refuse to believe in, but he's focused on his goal of just keeping breathing.
