The lyrics to R. Zee Jackson's song Red Red Wine capture the artist's frustration and determination to succeed in the music industry. The opening lines suggest that it's late at night and no one will hear a sound, emphasizing a sense of isolation and solitude. Then, the lyrics shift to a man that is coming, whom the artist describes as dangerous. The repetition of "code red," a phrase used to signal an emergency, reinforces the idea that the man is a threat. Later in the song, the artist expresses his anger and frustration at not having made it yet, despite working hard. He asserts his commitment to the game, describing himself as "married to the game" and "the beast" and pledging to "put them down." However, he also acknowledges that life is different and things have changed, but he remains true to who he is, closing the song with the taunting refrain "HowYouLikeMeNow?" Overall, the lyrics convey a sense of tenacity and resilience in the face of adversity.

Y'all could never commit
Others can't stay committed like I can
Best bet just quit
Your best option is to quit
Faking all your raps
Creating fake lyrics
Say it's the truth, we know it's cap
Claiming it's the truth, but we know it's a lie
Say you just do it cause you love it
Claiming you do it because you love it
But we all know it's the money yeah yeah
But we all know it's about the money
