The Answer
N.A.D.M.A. Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Everybody better hold up
{Cause they don't be feeling you like they feelin' me
And I think I'm the answer
I really had to break it down
I really had to keep it simple
I had to run up and down the court watching y'all like the league official
If I did shoot, I'd shoot to kill
Talk is talk and that's cheap to me
But nobody really know what I do for real
I am what I always been, white kid with the rapping skill
Maintain that I'm self-sustained
Still CES came as a package deal
Run shit like in track and field
I'll pass baton in decathlon
Search around and go find a verse where I came soft and I was slackin' on
Puff puff and I'll pass it on
My team strong and we here to win
Repping hard for the underground, I'm an emcee and a lyricist
Many men tried to mirror this
They was scheming on me like a pyramid
But they theory is full of bullet holes
Period point blank I shoulda known
Yeah, I think they got me fucked up
Everybody better hold up
'Cause they don't be feeling you like they feelin' me
But I think I'm the answer
I rap until my tongues tired
I spit it like it's gun fire
Anybody tellin me I'm not the best it gotta be I wear a mask like an umpire
Sayin' I should hang it up in music you're a plum liar
A dumb guy or you're a bum sire tellin me I'm inadequate knowing it's not anyone higher
Up!
That is where I am bitch
Up in the clouds eating a industry sandwich look it I can spit cutting 'em up
And is fuck it I'm feelin funny bout fair weather fan shit
Kansas, City King has landed
Anything remotely close to nope when I quote you're choked with a velvet rope, Janet
Is he crazy? Sho Lia wicked like Fangoria
Fool is hatin' cause he don't understand my communication, Nokia
Tecca N9na spit it so clear like Ho sheer
When I get to rippin' this flow here
All the women gotta grabbin' their crotch, they all screamin' 'oh dear!'
Yeah, I think they got me fucked up
Everybody better hold up
'Cause they don't be feeling you like they feelin' me
But I think I'm the answer
Armed and dangerous
Kali baby, y'all can never hang with us
Y'all strange to us
Y'all niggas be gambling or rambling
Count another mil', it's chump change to us
I'm joking
If I'm N9ne I keep that pistol smoking
By design to find your prime time if their eyes open
Sign of the times ain't dependent on the rhymes
Quoted rockabye to smoking on the pipe but doing lines of cocaine
I don't rock that shit
I'ma drop that dime like they committed to crime on divine lines that I've spoken
So get up if you can get the picture
Only hurt ya if the shoe fits ya
I really can't stay on my time zone
I ain't user friendly word to iPhone
A different creature, every feature I get on is my song
Well I, well I know you got me fucked up
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, better hold up
See they don't be feeling you like they feeling me
And I know I'm that answer
Too old for this bullshit
Zoned out, turned up
Your gross must pass through fire and that's why
I'm burned up
Hell all in my head, peace (Got a)
Gapin' hole in my heart too (But I)
Won't pray to no savior (Why?)
These days I'm too smart to
I ain't came up for no air yet
I put dough down on a fare bet
Niggas hood rich, I ain't there yet
But I got holes like a clarinet
And I jug lean and I pop pills
And they hate Dean 'cause I got skills
If these pussies don't shoot me, you can bet that the punk cops will
I give two shits about who's with you
Laugh loud when that boom hit you
On the role, like I'm too cripple
Getting twisted like two nipples
My soul's darker than nightride but no night light, I write all day
I get fancy with them blades in, and leave blood stains in the hallway
Yeah, I think they got me fucked up
Everybody better hold up
'Cause they don't be feeling you like they feelin' me
And I think I'm the answer

Yeah, I think they got me fucked up
I feel like people misunderstand me
Everybody better hold up
Everyone should listen closely to what I have to say
'Cause they don't be feeling you like they feelin' me
I believe that people respond to me differently than they respond to others

I had to observe people very closely to understand their behavior
I never had to keep a pistol
I have not needed to resort to violence
If I did shoot, I'd shoot to kill
If I had to use a gun, it would not be for fun or show - it would be to cause serious harm
Talk is talk and that's cheap to me
Words are not always meaningful to me
But nobody really know what I do for real
People do not truly understand my actions or motivations
I am what I always been, white kid with the rapping skill
I am still the person I have always been - a skilled rapper who happens to be white
Maintain that I'm self-sustained
I am self-sufficient; I do not need others to support me
Still CES came as a package deal
Although I am independent, I have built relationships with others who support me
Run shit like in track and field
I am very effective in managing situations and people
I'll pass baton in decathlon

Many men tried to mirror this
Others have tried to copy my style or emulate my success
They was scheming on me like a pyramid
They were trying to get something from me without offering anything in return, like a pyramid scheme
But they theory is full of bullet holes
Their ideas are flawed and will not work in practice
Period point blank I shoulda known
It was obvious that their ideas were faulty and would not succeed
I rap until my tongues tired

I spit it like it's gun fire
My delivery is fast, intense, and powerful
Anybody tellin me I'm not the best it gotta be I wear a mask like an umpire
Anyone who disagrees with my success is either lying or deliberately not seeing the truth
Sayin' I should hang it up in music you're a plum liar
Anyone who suggests I should retire from music is lying or not being honest with themselves
A dumb guy or you're a bum sire tellin me I'm inadequate knowing it's not anyone higher
Anyone who says I am not good enough is either ignorant or not acknowledging my true talent
Up!
I am successful and on top
That is where I am bitch

Up in the clouds eating a industry sandwich look it I can spit cutting 'em up
I am successful and thriving in the music industry, and can outperform my competition
And is fuck it I'm feelin funny bout fair weather fan shit

Is he crazy? Sho Lia wicked like Fangoria

People who dislike me may not understand my methods or message

When I get to rippin' this flow here
When I am performing, my skills are unmatched
All the women gotta grabbin' their crotch, they all screamin' 'oh dear!'
My performance is so captivating and intense that it elicits a physical and emotional response from the audience
Armed and dangerous
I am powerful and not to be underestimated
Kali baby, y'all can never hang with us
I am part of a group that is powerful and superior to others
Y'all strange to us
Other people are unfamiliar and not on the same level as me and my group
Y'all niggas be gambling or rambling
Other people are taking risks or making bad decisions
Count another mil', it's chump change to us
Making money is easy and insignificant to me and my group
I'm joking
I am not being serious right now
If I'm N9ne I keep that pistol smoking
If necessary, I am not afraid to use a gun
By design to find your prime time if their eyes open
I am strategic in finding and exploiting my competition's weaknesses
Sign of the times ain't dependent on the rhymes
Success is not only about lyrics
Quoted rockabye to smoking on the pipe but doing lines of cocaine
Referencing popular culture and trends
I don't rock that shit
I do not follow mainstream trends or opinions
I'ma drop that dime like they committed to crime on divine lines that I've spoken
I will reveal the truth about those who have been pretending or committing wrongdoing
So get up if you can get the picture
Pay attention if you want to understand what I am saying
Only hurt ya if the shoe fits ya
My words will only be harmful if they apply to you
I really can't stay on my time zone
I do not like to remain in one place or mindset for too long
I ain't user friendly word to iPhone
I am not easily understood or predictable by others
A different creature, every feature I get on is my song
I am unique and original in everything I do, especially when I am performing
Too old for this bullshit
I am tired of unnecessary drama or issues
Zoned out, turned up
I am focused and energetic
Your gross must pass through fire and that's why
Coming out of difficult situations has made me stronger
I'm burned up
I am angry and passionate
Hell all in my head, peace (Got a)
I am struggling with inner turmoil but also have moments of peace
Gapin' hole in my heart too (But I)
I have emotional pain and difficulty but am still resilient
Won't pray to no savior (Why?)
I will not rely on someone else to solve my problems or save me
These days I'm too smart to
I am intelligent and make wise decisions
I ain't came up for no air yet
I have not taken a break or pause yet
I put dough down on a fare bet
I have invested a lot in my career and future
Niggas hood rich, I ain't there yet
Others may have quick or superficial success, but I am on a path to greater things
But I got holes like a clarinet
Although I am not yet where I want to be, I am still talented and successful
And I jug lean and I pop pills
I have my own struggles and vices, but they do not control me
And they hate Dean 'cause I got skills
Others may not like me or try to bring me down because of my talent and success
If these pussies don't shoot me, you can bet that the punk cops will
I face danger and opposition from others who might try to hurt or arrest me
I give two shits about who's with you
I do not care who supports you or who you associate with
Laugh loud when that boom hit you
I will celebrate when you face consequences for your actions
On the role, like I'm too cripple
I am unstoppable like someone who cannot feel or use their legs
Getting twisted like two nipples
I am unpredictable and unconventional
My soul's darker than nightride but no night light, I write all day
I have a dark side but am still creative and productive at all hours of the day
I get fancy with them blades in, and leave blood stains in the hallway
I am skilled with weapons and am not afraid of violence, even if it leaves a mark
