Maurice & the Cliches Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Niggas gon
Show me love
Every function

Know the gs
Fuck wit me
Every city that I go
Show me love
Every function

Know the hoes
Fuck wit me

Slidin on these niggas like I'm post to
Like a real Midwest coaster
Never been a bragger or a boaster
So believe none of what niggas say in they songs and half of the shit they post up
You can't box a nigga in I'm too claustrophobic
Shit I'm sparkin got me coughing like we caught the covid
Me and Benny Banks pull up on them deuce deuces
And we still screaming fuck JW Lucas
Wit a passion
See ya I'm spazzin
Catch you on the strip out in Vegas I'm mashin
Millionaire drip lil baby I'm splashin
It's on me when you see me baby I'm cashing
Let a fuck nigga play crazy I'm flashin
And every song that you hear me on know I'm spazzin
Broke Millionaire fuck em wit the fashion
Wanna know how they feel you can ask em
Every city that I go
Niggas gon
Show me love
Every function
That I be
Know the gs
Fuck wit me
Every city that I go
Bitches gon
Show me love
Every function
That I be
Know the hoes
Fuck wit me

The lyrics to Maurice & the Cliches's song "Show Me a Love" depict the rapper's experience of being shown support and admiration by people wherever he goes, particularly in different cities and functions he attends. He emphasizes the loyalty of his peers, stating that they all 'fuck with him', which he takes as a sign of their love towards him. The second verse particularly focuses on his own experiences and the things he has achieved, from being a Midwest coaster to achieving millionaire drip. The lyrics also touch upon issues of claustrophobia and anxiety with the line "You can't box a nigga in I'm too claustrophobic", suggesting a deeper personal meaning to the lyrics.
The song seems to be a reflection of the rapper's own experiences of popularity and success in the rap industry, while also addressing issues of authenticity and trust amongst peers. The lyrics suggest that the "love" that he receives isn't solely based on his accomplishments or career, but rather on a genuine connection with the people around him.
