Vegan Chat
Meridian Dan Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Iβ€²ve been doing alright but I ain't
Gonna stop β€²til I get where I wanna be
Let's sit down and lay all out 'cause I wanna make proper P
I wanna mash everything down, mash just like I won the lottery
I know you feel those vibes,
I see your eyes, I know that you follow me

See me in a brand new whip thatβ€²s
Out of this world like Spaceship Odyssey
Everything green and that on my vegan chat, yeah, man need broccoli
Got to look after yourself nowadays, family, and I do that properly
Got to keep your eyes on a property,
Yeah, Iβ€²m a proper G, no one stopping me

See me? I'm a fighter and I wonβ€²t lie,
That can't die, guess that must be the dog in me
From a very long line of soldiers, heroes, dem ting part of the colony
See the way they operate systems? You donβ€²t know technology
Always do you with no apology, never slow down, increase your velocity

We fly high, do you know why? Just came back from a holiday
Got a new plan, honestly it's gonna do bits on road most probably
Yeah, top tier, great quality, see my moves? They bang the majority
Yo, do you know who you wanna be?
I bust a few jokes, donβ€²t think it's a comedy

All day, yeah, on point and they better be
Flashbacks come back strong incredibly
You see these hands? They never liked weaponry
Punched up twenty, man, then went secondary

Any day, any time
Oh, now I can't see no one ahead of me
You should rate man heavily
Every day I search inside for the better me
Got an enemy, shit an enemy
All that bad stuff comes with the territory
Think Iβ€²d let a man ruin my legacy?
Nah, β€²cuh a man a badman primarily

Next time you buy a thoroughbred pedigree
Walk on road like "What's man tellinβ€² me?"
But I'm a positive guy, I donβ€²t do bad energy
Look, I do my ting, move smart, think cleverly

What can I offer? No, what can you offer me?
I wanna get paid, not hold the monopoly
Never been badmind, no, I would never be
Is peace that I like, joy and serenity

Thank God for the things that I receive
I was blessed before the P's
Back when they had Ford Capriβ€²s
Had low times and all the peaks
Big man ting, you know the steez
Old school vibes, you best believe




All these things in life that I've achieved
Still I'm here with more shit up my sleeve

The lyrics he wanted to spray:

Get ready there's Dan
Adi it's Dan, in an R6, man that's Dan
Don't disrespect Dan, do you know Dan
You'll get a box from Dan
And you can't rob Dan, don't plot on Dan
Cos you'll get shot by Dan
Straight up and down
Who's greatest? Dan, make space I'm here, it's Dan
