Yessuh
Oswin Benjamin Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Said I been the man
Yessuh
First class flights on the Delta
Checks still sittin on the dresser Yessuh
Y'all settle for the lesser
Said I been the man
Yessuh
God told me that I'm next up Yessuh
Yessuh
Verse 1
Uh,
Glad that I loved and I lost,
Then never had loved at all
Ma said keep God in the line
Even when sprint try to cut you off
My resume wasn't good for the call back
But the plan A too good for a fallback though
Royalty in these quotes,
Made me put a crown where the ball cap goes
Big talk, from the underdog
Don't fear no man under God
Lime light don't build character
But the lessons learned in the shadows does
You see I seen the most death when loves involved
Lived to see my odds even out
And the ones that said I wasn't shit, all on my dick and I ain't even pull the penis out
Chorus
Said I been the man
Yessuh
First class flights on the Delta
Checks still sittin on the dresser Yessuh
Y'all settle for the lesser
Said I been the man
Yessuh
Head down but I stay blessed up
God told me that I'm next up Yessuh
Y'all settle for the lesser hold up
Verse 2
Simmer down, simmer down
Figure all your feeling out
Aye
Momma said that skies the limit
I don't see no ceilings now
Aye
I don't see no limitations expectation lost a lot of meaning
Killa cam I'm diplomatic in my speech you know I really mean it woah
See it now
No weed and I see the clouds
Old deacons believe me now?
This what I dreamed about
Feel like Nutso looking down on you Uncle Toms like we even now
Cabrón
Clark Kent called my phone and told me I remind him of Hov
Teachers told me bacon, eggs, and cheese
Was the closest I'd be to honor roll
Ha ha
Jokes on you
Never put the soul on snooze
Mm mm mm
I either win or I learn Oswin don't know how to lose
Nope
I remember Oz being late on Rent
To getting brain like scarecrow
Make no sense
I kept fear from lion
Kept heart on tin (ten)
With no pen
Just draw off inspiration
Chorus
Said I been the man
Yessuh
First class flights on the Delta
Checks still sittin on the dresser Yessuh
Y'all settle for the lesser
Said I been the man
Yessuh
Head down but I stay blessed up
God told me that I'm next up Yessuh
Y'all settle for the lesser hold up
Yessuh
Can I get a Yessuh
Yessuh
Yes you can, yes you can
I'm bout to talk to em Chris
Yessuh
Yessuh
In this song, Oswin Benjamin speaks about his continued success and the challenges he has faced to become successful. The opening stanza describes how he has achieved a lot and is still on the top, taking first-class flights and leaving checks sitting on the dresser. He believes that others settle for what's given to them, lesser than what they can achieve. The chorus repeats that he's been the best, he's been blessed by God, and he's on the way to the top.
In the first verse, he talks about his journey to being successful. He mentions appreciating that he has loved and lost, rather than not having loved at all. He got advice from his mother to keep God close even when there are obstacles on the way. Although he had a bad resume, he still believed in his plan A and worked towards it. He has learned a lot from the shadows and the underdog position that inspired him to put a crown in the ballcap. He doesn't fear people but relies on God, and he has learned a lot when love was involved in his journey. Now, the people who once belittled him are clinging to him even more.
In verse two, Oswin describes how he never had limitations and how his sky's the limit. He used to dream about what he's experiencing now. Although his expectations lost their meaning, he's still happy because he's succeeding. He also compares himself to other successful rappers, and he likens himself to Jay-z when Clark Kent called him. Additionally, he mentions how he's not like his teachers' understanding that he'll never be on the honor roll. The song ends as Oswin encourages himself, saying he only wins or learns.

Cabrón
An affectionate term, similar to 'bro'

Teachers told me bacon, eggs, and cheese was the closest I'd be to honor roll
My teachers set low expectations for me, but I have surpassed them
Jokes on you
I have proven others wrong
Never put the soul on snooze
I am always motivated and working towards my goals
I either win or I learn Oswin don't know how to lose
Even failures are valuable learning experiences for me
I remember Oz being late on Rent
I remember when I struggled financially
To getting brain like scarecrow
From facing financial struggles to receiving sexual attention
Make no sense
It's illogical
I kept fear from lion
I remained brave in the face of danger
Kept heart on tin (ten)
I remained courageous and strong
With no pen
Without any external motivation or resources
Just draw off inspiration
I rely purely on my own passion and motivation
Can I get a Yessuh
Can I receive confirmation of my success?
Yes you can, yes you can
You have succeeded and deserve praise
I'm bout to talk to em Chris
I'm about to share my thoughts and experiences
Yessuh
Yes, sir
Yessuh
Yes, sir
