Man Man Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Smoke one gotta take to the face
Add it up when I'm counting these plates
Push up can't come to my place
Eating good lot of veggies I'm straight
I position myself to be great
Big dog don't step in my way
One in the head I'll shoot in ya face
Move out the way when I'm swinging this K
Hanging out I like counting these chains
Cold stepper
Smith and Wesson say hello
Been balling mellow
Calling shots like let's go
Line them up like lambo's
Been ballin' this shit 4real Banana clip them boyz' gon' peel
Gettin' money them niggas on chill
Get ya suit, tie you know wat time it is
Made a deal I'm getting this crib
460 I'll make back quick str8 Glitzin' now them boyz on the dick
Try to tell these niggas to invest that quick
Make away had to get on my shit
Burning rubber tryna test this bitch
Movin' fast str8 gas in this bih
Hard headed I ain't listen to shit
Thirty I keep swinging my dick
Bitch nigga don't try me I ain't yo bitch
I was born to step a whole in this shit
Niggas stepping but ain't stepping like this
My bothers keep quiet they ain't saying shit
Dig a whole and lay in that bih
Family first it's like a champion ship
Took some losses but still won that bih
So what i know you hate me lil bitch
Spend couple bags I got that on my wrist
Choose to wait you gone starve in this bih
Move around I get bags no shit
Take off young nigga going insane
Smoke one gotta take to the face
Add it up when I'm counting these plates
Push up can't come to my place
Eating good lot of veggies I'm straight
I position myself to be great
Big dog don't step in my way
One in the head I'll shoot in ya face
You the bitch better stay in yo place
Move out the way when I'm swinging this K
Hanging out I like counting these chains
Cold stepper
Smith and Wesson say hello
Been balling mellow
Calling shots like let's go
Line them up like lambo's
The lyrics to Man Man's song "Real Shit" speak to a sense of empowerment and resilience in the face of challenges. The opening lines convey a rebellious and confident attitude, with the singer asserting their independence and refusal to conform to societal norms. The reference to smoking suggests a means of escape and finding solace in oneself.
The lyrics continue to emphasize a self-made mentality, with the singer counting their own success and positioning themselves for greatness. The mention of being a "big dog" warns others not to cross their path, as they are willing to defend themselves fiercely. The gun imagery in the lyrics reflects a sense of protection and potentially a desire for control in a hostile environment.
The second verse delves into the singer's experience of acquiring wealth and power. They boast about making deals and gaining material possessions, displaying a "glitzy" lifestyle. The lyrics also touch on the importance of investing and making smart financial choices.
Throughout the song, there is an air of defiance and a refusal to be held back. The repeated refrain of "move out the way" suggests a determination to push forward and make one's way in the world, regardless of obstacles. The lyrics also suggest a strong loyalty to family and a willingness to overcome losses and adversity.
