Way
O.U.T.I.Z.M. Inc. Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But since then I've got away with worse (It's true)
I've got a way with words
Flashbacks every time that I see a hearse
So tell Mercedes that I want that car reimbursed
Tell the police it ain't our group they should try disperse
Got away once but since then I've got away with worse (Way worse)
I've got a way with words
Do something with your life stop thirsting over women
Hard to compete with these guys when they're sinning so I sin too (I do)
And end up cheating like that Lance Armstrong dude (I do)
Life changed up man we're really tryna live sweet (So sweet)
I'm buying beats but I went to Amsterdam for weed and not to clap cheeks
I've got a way with words you can't repeat these techniques
But now they see the wave like when I drive past Ellie
I wanna pay my own wages and for mum to see me on the tele (It's me)
Pub culture I'm at the jukebox playing Jamie Foxx
But the girls turned up now it's playing Nelly
Must've wrote dear Shelley like a thousand times
They wanna kill me for the crimes
But for now raps mainstream nobody dies (Nobody dies)
Rat race chasing money running for their lives
But that's how it go
I'll row on my boat on my own just going with flow
Taking whatever comes or what doesn't come bro (Just going with the flow bro)
And I can rap on a dark beat that sticks in your mind
And increases your heart beat
But on the other side sometimes I provide mellow vibes
For cruising in the ride
Or blowing hella smoke another cloud in the sky (Ayy)
You know the music loud 'cause the car vibrates
And it's a twenty one plate no hate
It's bait on the curbs
I've been blinded by her curves
Only once that occurs
Funny now it's the cool kids looking up to nerds (Funny that)
'Cause they're financially stable no food on your table (None at all)
How can't you see the path their going down is fatal
Be willing and able to learn and learn in different ways
I've been sick for seven days
Symptoms not been getting paid
Yeah you felt pressure but not the pressure that the world weighs
Or pressure when the haze pays
UK rap full of fucking cliches
Had to pray 'cause my girl went and caught the bouquet
I'm here and I'm here to amaze
Amazed that you man get an eighth and go and split it four ways
Life a battle and silly is a rest
So it got silly mixing bag with the zest
So I just roll with my clique like a trundle wheel
If I'm in the function, wheel (Wheel that)
Then keep your eyes peeled (Eyes peeled)
But an eye for an eye just turn the whole world blind
So swallow your pride
An eye for an eye just turn the whole world blind
So swallow your pride and fuck
In the first verse of O.U.T.I.Z.M. Inc.'s song "Way," the singer talks about being away from home, out of sight, and feeling bored. Despite being away, nothing has changed, and they wonder who let the boredom into their life. The next stanza talks about their "rockin' rights" and how they will overcome any challenge. The mirror never lies, and they will show everyone how it's done. They always dress in black, not to be kind, but rather to be unkind.
The chorus is repeated multiple times throughout the song and emphasizes that the way of life they live in is not wrong. They take pride in the way they live and are strong individuals who will not be deceived or take any double-talk. The "fat cats bull" don't like the way they walk, and they are often the subject of unwelcomed class.
The last stanza questions whether people have truly lived their lives or if they are just going through the motions of working nine to five and finishing at fifty-five. The singer believes that life is a lie for some people who have clipped their wings to fly. If they had taken a different path, they could have had it all.
Line by Line Meaning
I've been away from home
I have been away from the place where I belong
Was outta sight
I was not visible, I was not present
No other change has come
Nothing else has changed, it's still the same
Who let the boredom in
Who allowed the monotonous state to set in?
We got our rockin' rights
We have the freedom to rock in our own way
We'll overcome
We will prevail over any obstacle
The mirror never lies
Our reflection shows the truth about ourselves
We'll show 'em how it's done
We will demonstrate to others how to get things done
We always dress in black
We choose to dress in black, as a symbol of rebellion and individuality
To be unkind
To distance ourselves and be seen as unfriendly
With you in mind
We dress in black with you, as our audience or fan, in our thoughts
It's the way of life we live, you know where we are coming from
This is the lifestyle that we choose and you can understand our perspective
It's the way of life we live in, and we're not wrong
Our way of living is not incorrect, we just choose to be different
We are the strong
We have the inner strength to resist conformity and stand out as individuals
We never will deceive
We will never be dishonest or misleading
Take no double-talk
We will not tolerate any ambiguous or insincere language
And all the fat cats bull
We do not believe in the empty promises of wealthy and powerful people
Don't like the way we walk
They dislike our behavior or actions, but we continue to do what we want
They want to be like us
Deep down, those who criticize us want to have the courage to be different like us
Time is ticking by
Time is passing quickly
For you life is such a lie
Your life is full of falsehood and deception
You clipped your wings to fly
You limited yourself from achieving greatness
You could of had it all, but!
You could have accomplished much, however...
Work nine to five
Working a standard daily shift from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM
Finish fifty-five
Retire at the age of 55
Only born to die
Our existence has a predetermined end
You ever been alive?
Have you truly lived your life to the fullest?
