Say Nothin'
OMAR Lyrics

Yo, Yo, Yo, Yo
An enthusiastic greeting or call for attention.

No I ain't sayin' nothin' baby No I ain't sayin' nothin' baby (Baby baby ba ba baby) No I ain't sayin' nothin' baby Yes I ain't sayin' nothin' baby (Yay yay, moo moo.)
The singer is not speaking up or giving any information, despite being encouraged to do so.

What's with you I want to know Your inner self is starting to show Speak your mind in the best way Don't want to waste your time another day
The singer is urging someone to express themselves honestly and not hold back, emphasizing the importance of living fully and not wasting time.

No matter how hard I fall, nothing ever seems to change Whenever I hear you call, I come running just the same
The singer feels stuck in a routine, always responding to the other person's demands even though it doesn't lead to progress or positive change.

[Chorus: Omar (background singers) {Ol' Dirty Bastard} If you say nothin' (Say nothin') Want nothin' (Want nothin') want nothin' from me Please Don't waste my time I said somethin' (Said somethin') wanted somethin' (wanted Somethin') for you Now your wasting my time
The chorus repeats the theme of the song: the singer doesn't want a relationship where the other person is uncommunicative or uninterested.

If you know cause I wanted {Yo yo yo yo} Don't put me down cause I want it Don't put me down cause I need it
The singer is asking the other person to respect their desires and not dismiss them.

I don't know just what to say I know my mouths is gonna run away Can't you please excuse my mood I ain't gonna go out my way to being rude no, no, no
The singer is feeling overwhelmed and anxious, but trying not to let it affect others, and asking for patience and understanding.

Eveyday is a day that is wasted trying to make a change yeah That just like seas trying to change the places with time and space (Sing this)
The singer is expressing a sense of futility in trying to change the world, comparing it to an impossible feat like moving the seas.

You say nothing (Say nothin') Want nothin' (Want Nothin') Want nothin' from me Please don't waste my time (Don't waste my time) I said somethin' (I said somethin') Wanted somethin' (I wanted somethin') I think It's for you to respect me {Yo Yo Yo Yo} (Don't waste my time no) {No I ain't sayin' nothin' baby}
The chorus repeats, with the added request for respect.

Yo yo Omar Check it, CIA told me not to say nothin' About Biggie and 2Pac, life's a little somethin' Whenever there's no witnesses You know the government had to do with this Eighty six churches got burnt, no witnesses Guess I'm next on the hitlist They tried to kill me three times Same Osirus from the type of God, brought forth the people refined I'ma start hittin' the schools Teachin' my children about the devil without the God within You thought they was dead BIG and Pac lived in me I know all you sick human families I mastered all you human lessons kid Takin' my photograph tryin' to manipulate my negative The raws and R's will do far, Omar I'm not sayin' nothin', the black kid is God
The final verse takes a sharp turn, with Omar calling out corruption and conspiracy in the military and government, as well as his own role as a teacher and messenger of God. He asserts his power and knowledge, and aligns himself with the legacy of Biggie and 2Pac, but also emphasizes his silence on certain matters.
