Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Cash (Cause I talk that shit)
Four (Then I walk that shit)
Bounty (Then I do that shit)
They don’t hear me though
Smoking on a big blunt, I fucks with her she keeps it up
Realer than most I hate to brag but if I don't boast they keepin up
All they want is punchlines, clockin in and out of work
Shit is cray!
Punched him in his mouth now he needing dentures
I’m cool I’m calm colder than 3 winters
Top 10 Sportscenter
What’s a sport with no center
Think about it just pulled one finer than her pictures
They scared of my ego my ego play hero
Cocky that’s Jadakiss
2 fucks, yeah they can kiss
Never been scared to miss but if I miss, that’s punishment
Can’t afford to take me out the game
Third ballot, Hall of Fame
Always held to another standard
So clutch they don’t understand it
So good all I hear is damnit
So good all she speak is Spanish
Call me like a wet bandit
Beast mode like I’m animal planet
Bombs like 2 cannons
Fly as hell like 2 Canon’s
All they talk is money shit
I’m getting to the money quick
And I don’t know what’s on they mind
They livid off some other shit
Ballin like a motherfucker
Fresher than them other suckers
I don’t ever tell em shit
Movin like I’m undercover
(They don’t hear me though)
Ballin like a motherfucker (They don’t hear me though)
Ballin like a motherfucker (They don’t hear me though)
Ballin like a motherfucker (They don’t hear me)
They don’t hear me fuck em let em sleep in
I making moves to get this money funny watch em when I’m buzzin now they reach in (Now they reach)
All I can say is dive off the deep in and me I am no life preserver in this shit it’s sink or swim
Let it be 2020 shit I’m focused on me (I’m focused)
I want it all can’t take no shorts you want to work I gotta fee (Work)
Nothin for free I have to eat and provide
Been dreaming to long it’s time to bring this shit to life
From 90 to 95 now I’m on my 3rd decade
30 rotations around the sun as times pass it evades
Too many cycles I’ve been working so hard to change
Generations within the jungle surviving amongst the snakes
Lions and tigers I’ve looked theses beast between the eyes
Told em I’ll make by any means so step aside
I can’t be stopped don’t matter the obstacle you try to find
Standing firm just like the mountain flow like the wind through the skies
All they talk is money shit
I’m getting to the money quick
And I don’t know what’s on they mind
They livid off some other shit
Ballin like a motherfucker
Fresher than them other suckers
I don’t ever tell them shit
Movin like I’m undercover
(They don’t hear me though)
Ballin like a motherfucker (They don’t hear me though)
Ballin like a motherfucker (They don’t hear me though)
Ballin like a motherfucker (They don’t hear me)
(They don’t hear me though)
All they talk is money shit
I’m getting to the money quick
And I care what’s on they mind
They livid off some other shit
Ballin like a motherfucker
Fresher than them other suckers (They don’t hear me)
I don’t ever tell them shit
Movin like I’m undercover
(They don’t hear me though)
(They don’t hear me though)
(They don’t hear me though)
(They don’t hear me)
These lyrics are part of the soundtrack to the movie "Gladiator" and describe a post-apocalyptic world where humanity has been destroyed by a nuclear war. The singer is the last surviving human on Earth, living in a world where robots have taken over control. The song conveys a feeling of desperation and loneliness, as the character reflects on the reasons for the destruction of civilization and his own isolation.
Through the lyrics, we can see that the character is astonished by the destruction he sees around him, questioning why it had to happen and reflecting on the fact that he is the only one left alive. He describes a world filled with radiation, where nature has somehow survived, and he has been made immortal, though there is seemingly no reason for it. He is now wandering empty towns, searching for others, but expects he is the only one left.
The song can be interpreted as a commentary on the dangers of nuclear war and the effects it can have on humanity, as well as the tragic consequences that arise from it. It also touches on the themes of survival, isolation, and the human desire for companionship.
Line by Line Meaning
The human race is dead
Humanity has become extinct
There's not a single head
No human being is present
Wherever I see
In every place I look
There's no one but me
I am the only living being
The last nuclear war
A devastating war that engulfed the earth in nuclear destruction
A horror never seen before
An unimaginable catastrophe
Nobody could understand why
The reason for the war was unknown and incomprehensible
Everybody had to die
All the human beings perished in the war
But the planet is still alive
Despite the annihilation of the human race, the earth survived
Nature did survive
The flora and fauna managed to survive
A world by my own
I am the sole inhabitant of this planet
But still all alone
However, I am lonely
I'm the last man on earth
I am the final living human
Radiation got me as well
I am also affected by the nuclear radiation
Made me immortal in this hell
But the radiation turned me into an immortal being, living in a hellish existence
An old dream coming true
A dream of being the only human being alive has become reality
But why now when there is nothing to do
However, this dream has now become meaningless with no purpose or activity.
Since then I've been searching around
I have been exploring the earth since then
Going from town to town
Travelling from place to place in search of any other survivors
Could it only have happened to me
I wonder if I am the only one affected by radiation and the only one still alive.
Am I doomed to be...
I am forced to contemplate whether I am forever destined to roam the earth alone
The robots are now in control
The world is now controlled by robotic machines
Better be aware of their patrol
I must be cautious and alert of their activities
I have everything to fear
I am constantly scared and apprehensive
If they find me out here
If they discover me wandering outside, I might be in danger
I'm the last man on earth
Alas, I am the only human still surviving.

Big thanks to Hans Zimmer for creating this master piece.
@fadyk85
Beautiful. This is one of the hidden gems in this soundtrack.
@sunnygirlll_2001
I think it's when he sends prayers to his family with the statues asking the Gods to always protect his son and wife. It's such a beautiful scene
@fluffycloud88
Simply gorgeous! Love the “airy” sound effects of the woodwinds throughout the first half of the piece. Reminds me of the sound of touching wheat.
@sideshowbob3402
1:45 is where he prays for his son and wife at the beginning of the movie. Love that part.
@TheSeriousAnalysist
Beautiful music 😭❤️❤️
@TheSeriousAnalysist
And when he kisses Commodus's sister and thank her to have helped him escape
@markwainwright2949
The most gentle and reflective piece of music ever - I would ask for this to be played as my coffin was taken in at the end of this life, please!!
@janetkelly2267
I was just thinking the same
@budgreenwood9359
The last minute of this piece of music is sublime beyond belief, a master of music!
