No Good
M.Rav Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
All I know is work, I don’t even sleep
Bitch I’m gassed up like I ate the magic beans
Got a bunch of dead prezzies weighin on my triple beam
Made my own path became a king
I’m sorry in advance cuz it made me kinda mean
Gotta be the cleanest when I’m hittin' every scene
A lot of people hatin' I can’t let them get between
I switch on these hoes, cuz I can do better
I’m rockin' the gold and sitting in leather
Thinkin' bout money while coutin' the cheddar
Thinkin' bout moves, just made a play
I'm after the cake, don’t get in the way
Don’t give a fuck if you straight or you gay
This yoppa don’t discriminate
Please don't get in the way
Me and the gang on a mission
Manifest my vision, no time for indecision
We work hard don't play
Chains on like slaves
I'm so high I can't feel my fuckin' face
Me and the gang on a mission
Mi-mission
No time for indecision
Manifest my vision
Grind like I'm stuck to a timebomb
Weaving my way like I'm nylon
Top 5 I'm Dylan
Damn where's the time gone
Now look at all the dollars
I remember days without none
I'm up to no good
That's forever what I'm on
Here for a good time not a long
I put my all into every song
Yea I'm up to no good at all
All I ever wanted was to fuckin' ball
Me and the gang on a mission
Mi-mission
No time for indecision
Manifest my vision
In the song "No Good" by M.Rav, the artist expresses his relentless drive towards success and how it has made him somewhat cold and unfeeling. He describes how his constant work has become like a nightmare without the aid of marijuana, indicating that it is the only relief he gets from his tireless routine. He goes on to describe how he is obsessed with money and is constantly making power moves ("Made my own path became a king", "Thinkin' bout money while coutin' the cheddar", "Me and the gang on a mission") and how he has to be clean and stylish to stand out in the cutthroat environment he is in. He acknowledges that this lifestyle has made him mean and that it can cause conflicts with people who don't understand his goals ("A lot of people hatin' I can't let them get between").
M.Rav also admits to being a part of a gang with a singular goal and that they work hard without indulging in leisure ("Chains on like slaves"). He references his drug use (possibly cocaine) again in the line "I'm so high I can't feel my fuckin' face". He also wants to make it clear that he doesn't discriminate against anyone ("Don’t give a fuck if you straight or you gay / This yoppa don’t discriminate"), but if anyone gets in his way, he won't hesitate to cut them out of his life.
Overall, "No Good" is a song about an ambitious young man who is focused on achieving his dreams of wealth and success, at the expense of his own well-being and relationships. It speaks to the hustle culture and the mentality of "get rich or die trying" often glorified in hip-hop.

Lovely pads on this track. Patricia's on top of the game when it comes to this lo-fi, dusty music. Anyone looking for similar wouldn't do badly checking out his collaboration with Jahiliyya Fields as Inhalants (also on L.I.E.S.). Hopefully this will see a fairly wide release!
