Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
'Fore I let you take my life, boy, I'll kill you
Dangerous when I come out, she like, "I feel you"
Talk before but now it's always like I hear you
(This beat from Murda)
Like what's up with all that back and forth, no other side
Know they sick, them niggas bitches, let they brother die
They come around, no tellin' when, nobody knows
And she got feelings when they bomb 'em and throw 'em away
It can't go no other way, what made you happy every day
And you know truly, I don't never wanna see you cry
But he just wanna see you cry, and you don't wanna see me die
Got a nigga lookin' like kill
'Fore I let you take my life, boy, I'll kill you
Dangerous when I come out, she like, "I feel you"
Talk before but now it's always like I hear you
But you don't hear me, like nigga, we got guns too
You don't fear me, that's stickin' shit like Kung Fu
Chung eerie, I kinda think I want you
Sight blurry like the rain on the way, say she really wanna move to Seattle
I kept it real but them niggas ain't keep it with me
Now I'm the target, went the farthest, they gon' pay me for a feat
I feel the tallest, they the smallest when they standin' next to me
And they gon' take me how I come
Air Force 1's, that's just for fun, but that ain't gas
She might think it's somethin' but to me that's just ass
You live 'round the opps but you still want me to come pass
Make me feel I want another gun, then I want another one
Got a nigga lookin' like kill
'Fore I let you take my life, boy, I'll kill you
Dangerous when I come out, she like, "I feel you"
Talk before but now it's always like I hear you
But you don't hear me, like nigga, we got guns too
You don't fear me, that's stickin' shit like Kung Fu
Chung eerie, I kinda think I want you
Sight blurry like the rain on the way, say she really wanna move to Seattle
Uh, ayy, ayy, ayy, ayy
Uh, ayy, ayy
Got a nigga lookin' like kill
'Fore I let you take my life, boy, I'll kill you
Dangerous when I come out, she like, "I feel you"
Talk before but now it's always like I hear you
But you don't hear me, like nigga, we got guns too
You don't fear me, that's stickin' shit like Kung Fu
Chung eerie, I kinda think I want you
Sight blurry like the rain on the way, say she really wanna move to Seattle
(Yung Lan on the track)
(Tom French with them racks)
(James about that check, boy)
Uh, uh, say she really wanna move to Seattle
The lyrics to "Seattle" by Murda Beatz explore themes of power, revenge, and the consequences of betrayal. The song starts off with a bold declaration that the singer would rather kill than let someone take their life. This sets the tone for a confrontational and dangerous atmosphere. The singer senses the danger when they come out, and someone expresses understanding or sympathy for their aggressive mindset. The line "Talk before but now it's always like I hear you" signifies a shift in the way the singer perceives the other person's words. It could imply that they are starting to take their threats more seriously or that they are becoming more cautious and attentive.
The lyrics also touch upon a vendetta towards others, as the singer mentions people who were serving (possibly referring to drug-related activities) but didn't retaliate against their enemies. There is an element of unpredictability as these enemies could come around at any time, creating an atmosphere of anxiety and uncertainty. The mention of bombing and discarding emotions further illustrates a disregard for the lives and feelings of others.
The chorus emphasizes the singer's commitment to self-defense, stating their willingness to kill rather than be killed. The lyrics paint a picture of a dangerous individual who demands respect and acknowledges the presence of their own firepower. The mixed emotions are also shown through the line "Sight blurry like the rain on the way, say she really wanna move to Seattle." This could represent a desire for a fresh start or a longing for escape from a chaotic and conflicted relationship.
Overall, "Seattle" portrays a character who is defiant, protective, and unwilling to back down from any threat to their life.

Like what's up with all that back and forth, no other side
Why are we constantly arguing without any resolution
Know they sick, them niggas bitches, let they brother die
They are weak and cowardly, allowing their own brother to suffer or perish
Know they were servin' but they ain't spin like washin' clothes
They claim to be involved in illegal activities, but they haven't retaliated or taken action
They come around, no tellin' when, nobody knows
They appear unpredictably, with no one aware of their intentions or motives
And she got feelings when they bomb 'em and throw 'em away
She experiences emotions when they harm and discard individuals
It can't go no other way, what made you happy every day
There is no alternative, since that is what brought you joy each day
And you know truly, I don't never wanna see you cry
You should genuinely know that I never want to witness your tears
But he just wanna see you cry, and you don't wanna see me die
Unfortunately, he desires to witness your sorrow, while you don't wish to witness my demise
But you don't hear me, like nigga, we got guns too
However, you fail to understand me, like, come on, we also possess firearms
You don't fear me, that's stickin' shit like Kung Fu
You don't intimidate me, that's just trivial actions like Kung Fu
Chung eerie, I kinda think I want you
It's strange, but I'm starting to develop feelings for you
Sight blurry like the rain on the way, say she really wanna move to Seattle
Her vision is hazy, similar to the rain on the horizon. She expresses a strong desire to relocate to Seattle
I kept it real but them niggas ain't keep it with me
I remained genuine, but those individuals did not reciprocate
Now I'm the target, went the farthest, they gon' pay me for a feat
Now I'm the focus of their attention, having achieved the most success, they will compensate me for my participation
I feel the tallest, they the smallest when they standin' next to me
I feel the most confident and significant, while they appear insignificant when beside me
And they gon' take me how I come
They will accept me as I am
Air Force 1's, that's just for fun, but that ain't gas
Wearing Air Force 1 sneakers is merely for enjoyment, not a symbol of greatness
She might think it's somethin' but to me that's just ass
She might consider it important, whereas to me it holds no value
You live 'round the opps but you still want me to come pass
You reside near our enemies, yet you expect me to visit you
Make me feel I want another gun, then I want another one
You make me feel like acquiring an additional gun, leading to the desire for yet another
Uh, ayy, ayy, ayy, ayy
An exclamation to express excitement or agreement
Got a nigga lookin' like kill
My presence gives off a dangerous aura
'Fore I let you take my life, boy, I'll kill you
I would rather harm or kill you instead of allowing you to end my existence
But you don't hear me, like nigga, we got guns too
However, you fail to understand me, like, come on, we also possess firearms
You don't fear me, that's stickin' shit like Kung Fu
You don't intimidate me, that's just trivial actions like Kung Fu
Chung eerie, I kinda think I want you
It's strange, but I'm starting to develop feelings for you
