Gift Of Gab
Outnumbered Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

All the bullshit you kids talk
What a fucking joke
Hide behind scene politics
A crutch to help you cope
As long as I remember why i'm here
And who's got my fucking back
What you say and do
Will show all the shit you lack
I've earned what I have today




You don't what it's about
Still there

Overall Meaning

are those who try to take it from me
They'll never understand what it's truly about


The song "Gift of Gab" by Outnumbered is a commentary on the superficiality and insincerity of some elements of the music scene. The lyrics express a sense of frustration with the "bullshit" that young people talk and the "scene politics" they use as a crutch. The singer asserts that he knows why he is there and who has his back, and that he has earned his position through hard work and dedication. The song is a rebuke to those who would try to take what he has earned without truly understanding what it's all about.


The lyrics create a sense of defiance and passion, and the tone of the song is one of determination in the face of adversity. The singer's insistence on staying true to himself and his values is inspiring and empowering, and the song is an anthem for anyone who has ever felt marginalized or misunderstood. Through its powerful lyrics and driving beat, "Gift of Gab" is a call to action for all those who refuse to be defined by other people's expectations.
