Believe In Me
MC. G. Gabriel Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Sleep is the cousin of death I get tired
Yet a creep still In love with the Stress it build knowledge
Lovin all these lessons teach
Cookin up a recipe
Playin with fire Japanese KOBE
This burning desire I would have to be KOBE
Concerned with the styling
Used to laugh at me phony
I return attire they clap for me it’s Oski been through a lot muthafucker
You don’t know me
Harry swann that’s my guy
Carry on you telling lies
Every song I used to cry
Wet paper and all Nigga
Through the pain I would write
Rough days of my life
Pray to God look to sky’s
At new psalm testify
Gotta thank my brothers who Explained eventually it light
King of Bragadicous
Dopeness in the vocals Overdosing From the keys Of words
Niggaz wish they wrote this
The closest to be legendary never Secondary get it from my ancestors All hereditary
A plus vocabulary teachers couldn’t Grade it Smoking this purple haze
While I’m playing purple haze
Classic killa cam during my High School faze
Cheffing for these kids with some Soul Isaac Hayes
This is instant replay phrases moving Crowds
Spit that 12 play in 93 ways
No minors allowed
Seems like they ain’t ready
Sharp as a machete
Stans are like Oh my God like I killed Kenny
Legends from the heavens throw ice To the nicest
Rookies recite this leave their face all Priceless
A rap god performer no need no Corny hype men
This is no hype man
I got em all excited
You making moves
But man I’m moving
No way can let Fear intimidate my Future
Could sabotage my dreams
To become useless
The fruit of my moms labor
Nigga I’m juicing
Root to the core navel
Witnessing movement
The truth way born stable
A kiss for the soothin
Mom you’re a angel
Remember your tooling
Now I’m hot like Barbados
Hittin with music like
Rihanna cake pour it up
Pon da replay umbrella
Let me dumb it down getting money With champagne songs run it back Rain no shelter
To be honest fate on us
Can’t harm the dj just come better




That’s 100 pal and you a simple Dummy
Switching lanes cars crash blame the Passengers

Overall Meaning

The opening line “Sleep is the cousin of death I get tired” suggests that MC. G. Gabriel is constantly hustling and working hard, as if he sees sleep as a way of avoiding the progression necessary for success. He is addicted to the stress and the knowledge it brings, likening it to “cooking up a recipe” and playing with fire: dangerous but exciting. The reference to Japanese Kobe is an allusion to the best beef being born out of fire, potentially reflecting that MC. G. Gabriel’s creativity comes from turmoil.


He acknowledges that people used to laugh at him, but now they celebrate him, which he calls “Oski,” meaning “the chosen one” in Yoruba. MC. G. Gabriel reveals that he’s had a rough life but has turned that pain into creative fuel. He mentions that music was his outlet and passion, revealing that every song he used to write would bring tears to his eyes. In this, he’s testifying about his hardship, his commitment to God, and his perseverance in dedicating his life to music. The line “The fruit of my mom’s labor/ Nigga, I’m juicing” is a metaphorical reference to his success being an extension of his mother’s hard work.
