Use It Or Lose It
Molotov Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Come feel the rush coming out of your speakers
Feel the power of the Molotov clica
You don't speak unless your spoken to
Be careful what you say when you do
'Cause you might find yourself en la calle
Tu ya sabes que me vale
I'm gonna sit back with a cold Kahuama
While my crew is out there bombing ya
There's a lesson, boy, that I'm gonna teach you
You mess with the bull you gonna get the salchicha
Cause you know que sentiste pasos
If you think you can fake it boy you'se an asshole
If you could take me out what's stopping ya
I'll pull out my gauge cold pop yeah
I'm giving you a chance so don't abuse it
If you got the skill use it or lose it

If you're gonna grab a mic, learn to use, learn to use it
If you represent a crew, show and prove, show and prove it
If you got a big ride, learn to cruise, learn to cruise it
If you want to test this, learn to lose, learn to lose it

If you're gonna grab a mic, learn to use, learn to use it
If you represent a crew, show and prove, show and prove it
If you got a big ride, learn to cruise, learn to cruise it
If you want to test this, learn to lose, learn to lose it

Out of the cut view el Gringo Tiro Loco
I'm here to get the people prendido
So watcha want to do
Rap is not afraid of you
And neither homie is the Molotov crew
So in the cantina while I'm drinking my brew
If you wanna test this learn to lose
'Cause I'm gonna bruise ya, crack ya, end up on your back
If your girl steps in, won't hesitate to smack her
So if can't take a dump get off the commode
And if you don't come correct Jack hit the road
'Cause like a '57' chevy
I'm gonna cruise ya
You step in my way I'm gonna have to bruise ya
Break you, partirte la madre
Face down lying in the mothafuckin' calle
I'm giving you chance so don't abuse it
So if you got the skill use it or lose it

If you're gonna grab a mic, learn to use, learn to use it
If you represent a crew, show and prove, show and prove it
If you got a big ride, learn to cruise, learn to cruise it
If you want to test this, learn to lose, learn to lose it

If you're gonna grab a mic, learn to use, learn to use it
If you represent a crew, show and prove, show and prove it
If you got a big ride, learn to cruise, learn to cruise it
If you want to test this, learn to lose, learn to lose it

If you're gonna grab a mic, learn to use, learn to use it
If you represent a crew, show and prove, show and prove it
If you got a big ride, learn to cruise, learn to cruise it
If you want to test this, learn to lose, learn to lose it

If you're gonna grab a mic, learn to use, learn to use it
If you represent a crew, show and prove, show and prove it
If you got a big ride, learn to cruise, learn to cruise it
If you want to test this, learn to lose, learn to lose it

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Molotov's "Use It Or Lose It" speak about the power of hip hop, and the importance of being skilled in the art form. The opening line, "Come feel the rush coming out of your speakers," draws the listener in and sets the tone for the rest of the song. Molotov clica, the crew the artist belongs to, is depicted as powerful and not to be messed with. The artist warns listeners to be careful of what they say, as they might end up in trouble with the crew. The use of the Spanish phrase "en la calle" emphasizes the rough and tough nature of the situation.


In the second verse, the artist talks about being fearless and ready to take on anyone who wants to test him. He speaks of drinking his "brew" in the cantina, ready to fight anyone who challenges him. The repeated refrain, "If you got the skill, use it or lose it," reinforces the importance of being able to back up one's words with actions. The use of colloquial slang such as "prendido" and "partirte la madre" adds to the rebellious and street-wise tone of the song.


This song is a call to arms for hip hop fans and artists to be true to the art form and not just pose for show. It speaks to the raw and authentic nature of hip hop and the importance of being skilled and ready to defend one's craft.

Temazo de los buenos tiempos del 1998, cuando la musica era buena y valia la pena

El CALABRIA

Con este video fue que conoci a MOLOTOV, apenas llegaba la Tv por cable a mi ciudad y habia un canal llamado PumaTv(Tv que pertenecia al cantante Venezolano Jose Luis Rodriguez, El Puma) que lo pasaba a cada rato. Aunque ya habia escuchado Gimme Tha Power, no sabia que eran ellos mismo, por la obvia razon de las voces diferentes y aparte de que una es rock y esta es Rap.
