Never Again
Mayo-3 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
This won't happen ever again
Never again
How you really living
The way you answer questions
Got people thinking you must be kidding
Cause you can't walk it how you talking
Gave you energy like a socket
And now I'm blasting off like a rocket
It's crazy how things are changing
I'm walking cross the stage and I can't help but think
How happy that you would have been to get the chance to see me sink
But all you got was cheers and good tidings from this side
I guess that's part of what made you decide
To do what you did
But it's cool we all straight
Giving thanks to the most high
Mama said I'd be great
That's all I needed to do it
And when they try to imitate
They find out they ain't congruent
Jeers and stares when i tell them
That i ain't rushing this music shit like Vladimir Putin
To the game I'm a student
Just know it's kumite if not cum laude
Cause I could pop smoke if not welcomed to the party
But I'm more of a loner anyways
Forever dazed but never phased
I said fuck working for a raise
I'd rather raise my people up
Cause I'm only good if they are
It's either play or get played in this life
I am a player and this feeling like the playoffs
So I cannot take no days off
Ima make it even if I gotta scheme
Like Bernie Madoff
And I put that on Oluwa
Things I've learned you can not tutor
Stacking root of all evil to facilitate some betterment
I'm the best to ever do it nigga who you think you better than

Never again
This will not happen in the future
This won't happen ever again
This specific situation will never occur again
Never again
I am emphasizing that it will not happen again
How you really living
How are you truly experiencing and navigating through life
The way you answer questions
Your manner of responding to inquiries
Got people thinking you must be kidding
It causes individuals to believe that you are joking
Cause you can't walk it how you talking
Because your actions do not align with your words
Gave you energy like a socket
Provided you with enthusiasm and motivation
You took that shit and dipped
You took advantage of it and then left abruptly
And now I'm blasting off like a rocket
Now, I am experiencing rapid success and advancement
It's crazy how things are changing
It is remarkable how circumstances are evolving
I'm walking cross the stage and I can't help but think
As I walk across the stage, I cannot avoid contemplating
How happy that you would have been to get the chance to see me sink
You would have been delighted to witness my failure
But all you got was cheers and good tidings from this side
However, all you received was support and well-wishes from those around me
I guess that's part of what made you decide
I suppose that influenced your decision
To do what you did
To take the action you took
But it's cool we all straight
But it's fine, we are all doing well
Giving thanks to the most high
Expressing gratitude to a higher power
Mama said I'd be great
My mother assured me that I would achieve greatness
That's all I needed to do it
That was the only encouragement I required to pursue my dreams
And when they try to imitate
And when others attempt to copy or mimic
They find out they ain’t congruent
They realize they are not consistent or compatible
Jeers and stares when I tell them
I receive criticism and intense gazes when I inform them
That I ain't rushing this music shit like Vladimir Putin
That I am not hastily pursuing success in the music industry like Vladimir Putin would
To the game I'm a student
I am constantly learning and gaining knowledge in this field
Just know it's kumite if not cum laude
Understand that it's a fierce competition if not achieving the highest academic honor
Cause I could pop smoke if not welcomed to the party
Because I have the ability to effortlessly excel or leave if not accepted or appreciated
But I'm more of a loner anyways
However, I tend to prefer solitude regardless
Forever dazed but never phased
Perpetually amazed but never affected negatively
I said fuck working for a raise
I disregarded the idea of striving for a salary increase
I'd rather raise my people up
I would prefer to uplift and support my community
Cause I'm only good if they are
Because my own well-being is only significant if they are also thriving
It's either play or get played in this life
Life is a game where you either act or become a victim
I am a player and this feeling like the playoffs
I am actively participating, and it feels like a crucial stage of intense competition
So I cannot take no days off
Therefore, I cannot afford to rest or be idle
Ima make it even if I gotta scheme
I will achieve success even if I have to devise unconventional strategies
Like Bernie Madoff
Similar to how Bernie Madoff operated his fraudulent schemes
And I put that on Oluwa
I swear upon Oluwa (a Yoruba term for God)
Things I've learned you can't tutor
There are certain lessons that cannot be taught
Stacking root of all evil to facilitate some betterment
Accumulating money (often perceived as the root of all evil) to enable personal improvement
I'm the best to ever do it nigga who you think you better than
I am the greatest at what I do, so who do you believe you are superior to
