Intro
Manes Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I still don't give a fuck how a fuckboy feel
How you gon' keep it real and your diamonds not real?
I do it so big I make a hater feel little
I can't tell you why they hating but I have an idea
You never liked me, probably don't like me still
But a nigga liking me ain't never paid my bills
I'm the realest nigga living, let's get one thing clear
And if you wanna get it popping we can do it right here
I ain't never been embarrassed, I ain't never felt fear
I got post-traumatic stresses like I can't shed tears
I ain't even been out 6 months but I spent 6 mil
Got a million dollar grin and a 10 million dollar crib
And my heart done turnt burr-burr like my adlibs
In the kitchen going skrt-skrt tryna make a mil
Got these bitches screaming bling-blaow, diamonds in my ear
I send my shooters then it's pow-pow, another tatted tear
Yeah it's 2016 so it's Guwop year
When I was 16 I was making drug deals
These niggas say they getting money, I can't really tell
I made more money than them and I was in a jail cell

I'mma say it once again, trust God, fuck 12
A real street nigga will never ever call 12
Say it once again, trust God, fuck 12




A real street nigga will never ever call 12
Wop, Wop, Wop, Wop

Overall Meaning

The lyrics in Manes's song Intro are bold and unapologetic, confronting the idea of authenticity in the music industry and proclaiming the artist's own success and resilience in the face of adversity. The opening lines, "I still don't give a fuck how a fuckboy feel / How you gon' keep it real and your diamonds not real?" immediately set the tone for the rest of the song, as the artist challenges the authenticity of those who claim to be real but don't live up to the standards set by their outward appearance.


The chorus, repeated twice, reinforces the artist's trust in God and disdain for law enforcement, with the repetition of "trust God, fuck 12." This line shows a common belief amongst those in the rap community, that the streets and their own community are more trustworthy and reliable than police officers, who are often seen as corrupt and biased against individuals of color.


Throughout the rest of the song, Manes boasts about his own success and fearlessness, stating that he has never felt fear and has accumulated millions despite spending time in jail. The lyrics reflect the artist's own journey and serve as a message to others that they too can achieve greatness, no matter where they come from.
