Pass the Mic
Qari Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

The screen writer screwed up
My monolouges booted up
They chew it up
Regurgitate the tape tune up
Yeah I done turned up
Missing for a few months
Fishing tuna trapping clown fish
Nemo I'm the captain tutor tappin into these clownfish
Just watch who you drown with
I'm dripping when I'm walking sauce
Too Suzuki fast for y'all
Don't make me take my sandals off
Smoking mega-man getting this fashion off
I inherited game before I ever touched a basketball
How I'm supposed to pass to y'all
Who the fuck passed you the mic nigga
I got a nice smile but I don't like niggas after all
I'm pulling up I'm passing y'all
I don't think you want to get me started
I don't think home is where your heart is
I don't think
We should take some time, I'm going blind in one my eyes
I can't decide against my pride
When these hoes Givenchy slide
All these giants on my shoulder
Scoliosis down my spine
I hear organs deep inside
Stray bullets wipe me down
If I only spoke my mind
If you only spoke your mind
We would only grow with time
Now we only decompose
And my nose is bleeding gold
And my fingertips are froze
And my anger lives at home
And they love me when I'm gone
And they love me when I'm gone
And they love me when I'm gone




And they love me when I'm gone
And they

In the first verse, Qari talks about his frustration with screenwriters who don't understand his vision and turn his monologues into something else entirely. He's been gone for a while, fishing and trapping clownfish, and now he's back and ready to take on anyone who gets in his way. He warns others to be careful who they associate with, as he's dripping with sauce and too fast for them to keep up. Qari then questions who passed them the mic, signaling that not everyone is cut out to be a rapper.


In the second verse, Qari discusses his struggles with fame and how it's affecting him personally. He talks about how he's going blind in one eye and that he can't decide against his pride.
