No Fear
O.G.C. Lyrics

Aye aye aye
A chant to grab attention

I hope they know that
Indicating a situation where others need to understand something important

I won’t hold back
Explaining the determination to not be held back by anyone or anything

They can go back and check the records
Encouragement to reflect on past achievements and accomplishments

A king surrounded by pawns I’ve been playing chess while y’all playing checkers
A metaphorical statement indicating superiority in strategy

Kicked me out of every school I had to be a go getter
Disclosing past obstacles and taking control of one's own path

Almost stayed in the streets sad thing was I know better
Reflecting on past mistakes and regretting not taking the correct path

Couldn’t help it my soul bitter
Resentment and dissatisfaction with past experiences

Long summers and cold winters
A statement of the difficulties faced in life

Home alone had no dinner
A statement of past challenges in obtaining basic needs

Fourteen with the dope dealers
Disclosing a situation where they had to be around people involved in illegal activities

‘Tryna make another sale
A statement indicating involvement in illegal activities to make ends meet

I was trying to get a scholarship bro was ‘tryna make bail
Comparison indicating different priorities and aspirations

Knew a lot of single mothers who really felt like they failed
Highlighting a situation where others were facing difficulties and sharing empathy

The oldest one in and out the youngest grew up in jail
Sharing experiences of people within their circle

Thankful I ain’t got the same story but I know it all too well
Gratitude for not being in a bad situation while acknowledging the experiences of others

I gotta prevail soon
Acknowledging the need to succeed soon

Stories I tell you
Sharing personal experiences with others

Come from a real place to go I dare you
Challenging others to be genuine and honest in their own experiences

This the land of no fear
A metaphorical statement indicating a place where fear does not have any place

Love don’t live here
An indication that the environment is tough and uncompassionate

Make sure the coast is clear the judge gon’ give us years
Being cautious in illegal activities to avoid getting caught

We're crying out for help the world won’t lend an ear
A statement acknowledging that society turns a deaf ear to those who need help

I’m running from myself won’t even a shed a tear
Being in a difficult emotional state and choosing to avoid expressing those emotions

Can’t even cry my soul dead
Expressing emotional numbness and feeling unable to even cry

I ain’t got opps you no threat
Feeling confident in one's own abilities with no perceived external threats

Say you gon’ do it then go ahead
Encouragement to take action and follow through on promises

Said I’ma do it I ‘sho did
Following through on own aspirations and succeeding

That’s the difference between me and you
Indicating superiority in determination and follow-through

You only say it because it’s cool
Suggesting insincerity and lack of genuine passion in others who make similar statements

I only say it because it’s true
Sharing own genuine beliefs and aspirations

Natural born rebel don’t follow rules
Indicating a rebellious and independent nature

Whatever I want is what I’ma do
Expressing a determination to pursue own desires

I can’t fold or move slow on this road
Expressing determination and resilience in pursuing own path

You show what you know silence ain’t your code
Suggesting that being vocal and assertive is better than being passive and quiet

Slow down playboy play your role
Advising others to calm down and act appropriately

One wrong move they’ll take your soul
Indicating that the consequences of making a mistake in a tough environment can be severe

Only said ‘cause I’ve seen it
Sharing observations from personal experience

I’m still here ‘cause there’s a reason
Feeling grateful for still being alive and believing in a higher purpose

You want it I swear I need it
Expressing passion and desire for own aspirations

Won’t even a shed a tear aye aye
Reiterating the determination to not express emotions

Won’t even a shed a tear yeah aye
Reiterating the determination to not express emotions
