Show Me
Natalie Wilson & The S.O.P. Chorale Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴
Don't show me love
Don't show me love
Bitch I don't even know yo name
Don't show me love
Don't show me love
Don't show me love
Bitch I don't even know yo name
I was down bad said fuck to a class
But I made it just happen it is what it is
Niggas gone judge from the out but I laugh in they face cause they never just know how I lived
Brodie was raised in the burbs but he act like a demon you never was takin them trips
I do not tote on a gun won't be cappin for fun but he got it might up from his hip
See that you capping for fun it's smoke you run but main nigga runnin your lips
I'm on a mission for blues ain't having a clue but need it I'm getting my strips
These bitches be bonkers gone swerve in a tonka might get me some head from a chick in the whip
Don't show me love
Don't show me love
Don't show me love
Bitch I don't even know yo name
Don't show me love
Don't show me love
Don't show me love
Bitch I don't even know yo name
Shit be exhausting
Grinding and shining until I'm in a coffin
Want green out a bitty ain't talking about Boston
Make it happen I get it I'm doing it often
Send a text to the bitty ain't talking bout Austin
Was down on the dirt now I'm up and I'm bossing
Lane to lane in the Alti' don't know where I'm crossing
If I'm making a play with the team I'm tossing it
Never losing never lost it
Ball in this shit no Spalding
Make it go and I'm leaving my all in
Off my back on the ground, I was falling
On my line why the fuck is she calling
Mask the pain put it up like I'm walling
Don't express always search for my calling
Don't do it these niggas be stalling
Ha ha ha ha
Don't show me love
Don't show me love
Don't show me love
Bitch I don't even know yo name
Don't show me love
Don't show me love
Don't show me love
Bitch I don't even know yo name
The lyrics of "Show Me" by Natalie Wilson & The S.O.P. Chorale convey a sense of detachment and cynicism towards the concept of love and affection. The repetition of the phrase "Don't show me love" emphasizes a rejection of emotional connection and intimacy. The use of the term "Bitch I don't even know yo name" suggests a distrust or lack of familiarity with the person being addressed, indicating a reluctance to engage in any kind of romantic or friendly gestures.
The verses touch upon themes of personal growth and resilience in the face of judgment and adversity. The singer speaks of not changing for those who criticize or doubt them, highlighting a sense of self-assurance and determination to stay true to themselves. The reference to coming from a challenging background but rising above it to achieve success reflects a narrative of overcoming obstacles and proving others wrong. The mention of not needing to carry a gun but having access to one suggests a readiness to defend oneself if necessary, while also alluding to a streetwise mentality.
The lyrics also delve into the grind of pursuing one's ambitions and striving for financial stability. The imagery of grinding and shining until "in a coffin" conveys a relentless work ethic and a drive to succeed no matter the obstacles. The references to making money and making things happen frequently indicate a hustler's mentality and a willingness to seize opportunities. The wordplay involving different cities like Boston and Austin, as well as the word "bossing," adds a layer of geographical and entrepreneurial significance to the narrative.
Overall, "Show Me" portrays a complex mix of detachment, determination, and street smarts. The rejection of love and the focus on personal success underscore a narrative of self-reliance and resilience in the face of adversity. The song's lyrics capture a sense of defiance and a refusal to be vulnerable, while also showcasing a strong sense of ambition and drive towards achieving one's goals.
