When I Was Down
OMB Peezy Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Like I'm fuckin with you
I'll take a life or give my life cause you
My fuckin' nigga can't find nobody realer
See fake in a lot of niggas
I'll take your head off before
I become somebody victim
But fuck your enemies you
Cause money and greed will
Change the silent nigga
And when the money leave
Nobody rockin' with you
Cause wherever the money go
People gon follow nigga
Instead of being real niggas
Will fuck you over
Fuck me over ill be in your
Kitchen with that fuckin' toaster
Let my seat back to the neck blowin' doja
These niggas hoes bruh I ain't
Duckin' nothing but the roller
Where was you when Lil peezy
Was sleeping on the sofa
Where was you when I was robbin
Just to get my dough up
When a nigga getting cheese then
These hoes show up
Tryna ride a nigga wave and
Pray a nigga blow up
When I was down ain't nobody come around
Now I'm up, they all in a nigga face
Back then I ain't see that shit
I ain't see it cause my heart
Was in a nigga way
But you don't really fuck with me
Fuck with me like I fuck with you
You don't really fuck with me, fuck with me
Like I fuck with you
Fuck love, without loyalty
I can't love you a nigga can watch you
Starve while he eatin' that ain't yo brother
Is you down or is you
Just a pussy nigga undercover
Made men don't make statements you
Tellin' you got smothered
When I was down they let a nigga suffer
Now me and my dawgs eating all
These bitches wanna fuck us
What the fuck is a server you
Niggas switchin' on each other
Can't fuck with these bitches
They wanna fuck without a rubber
Tryna keep my feet clean they wanna
Push me in a puddle
Smoke purple chasin' green I don't
Know no other color
Ain't nobody teach me shit I taught
Myself how to make it double
Ain't see nobody face when I
Was thuggin' in that jungle, for real
I got a lot of niggas hatin'
I ain't worried 'bout em
Cause when I'm in they section I
Don't hear a word out em
And I keep mine on me so where's yours partna
And I keep mine on me so where's yours partna
When I was down ain't nobody come around
Now I'm up, they all in a nigga face
Back then I ain't see that shit
I ain't see it cause my heart
Was in a nigga way
But you don't really fuck with me
Fuck with me like I fuck with you
You don't really fuck with me, fuck with me
Like I fuck with you

Line by Line Meaning
You ain't fuckin' with a nigga
Like I'm fuckin with you
I am loyal to you like no one else and would do anything for you.
I'll take a life or give my life cause you
My fuckin' nigga can't find nobody realer
I am so real and loyal to you that I am willing to sacrifice anything, even my own life or others, for you.
See fake in a lot of niggas
I'll take your head off before
I become somebody victim
I am able to identify fake people around us and will make sure to take them out before they harm us.
But fuck your enemies you
Better watch your nigga
Cause money and greed will
Change the silent nigga
Don't worry about our enemies, but be careful of your close friends who can be bought by money and greed and turn against us.
And when the money leave
Nobody rockin' with you
Cause wherever the money go
People gon follow nigga
When you are no longer on top and the money is gone, the same people who used to surround you will leave because they are only interested in following those with wealth and fame.
Instead of being real niggas
Will fuck you over
Fuck me over ill be in your
Kitchen with that fuckin' toaster
People who act fake will eventually betray you, and if that happens to me, I won't hesitate to take revenge.
Where was you when Lil peezy
Was sleeping on the sofa
Where was you when I was robbin
Just to get my dough up
When I was struggling and in need, where were you? I had to do whatever it took, even steal, to make money.
When a nigga getting cheese then
These hoes show up
Tryna ride a nigga wave and
Pray a nigga blow up
Once a person becomes successful and wealthy, people who never bothered with them before start showing up and trying to ride their success for their own benefit.
When I was down ain't nobody come around
Now I'm up, they all in a nigga face
Back then I ain't see that shit
I ain't see it cause my heart
Was in a nigga way
But you don't really fuck with me
Fuck with me like I fuck with you
You don't really fuck with me, fuck with me
Like I fuck with you
When I was struggling, nobody was there for me. Now that I'm successful, everyone is trying to be close to me. However, I can see through people who don't truly care about me and are only around for their own benefit.
Fuck love, without loyalty
I can't love you a nigga can watch you
Starve while he eatin' that ain't yo brother
Love is not enough for me. Loyalty is of utmost importance and I cannot love someone who is disloyal. A true brother would never let another starve while they are eating.
Is you down or is you
Just a pussy nigga undercover
Made men don't make statements you
Tellin' you got smothered
Are you really down for our cause or are you just pretending to be loyal? A true man does not snitch on others and claims they were not involved in any situation.
When I was down they let a nigga suffer
Now me and my dawgs eating all
These bitches wanna fuck us
When I was struggling, nobody helped me. Now that I'm successful, people want to be around me and my crew.
And I keep mine on me so where's yours partna
I always carry my weapon with me for protection; do you?
