Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

If it's not one thing then I swear that it's another
In one week I lost 5 bitches and 2 brothers
Errybody screamin mob mob mob
But then when it's time ta ride them niggaz soft
All these bitches say they down for me till death
Then all these bitches musta died somewhere I swear
Real bitches is rare
Swear I never see em anywhere
Swear they say they care but they don't care
Real bitches is

Rare
You cannot find them anywhere
They ain't over here or over there
Real niggaz is
Rare
I swear I swear I swear
They lie and say they there but they ain't there
Honesty is
Rare
These two shoes up on my feet that shit is
Rare
Name a time I don't have blammy on me
Rare
If I shoot at dude and miss that shit is
Rare
When you niggaz tell the truth that shit is
Rare

Opportunity never knocked for me, cuz we didn't have a door
Been on my knees praying all my life, but God didn't answer back till I got off the floor
Got some choppers then got some more
Cuz we got in fights and then got in war
Ran outta dope then got some more
Bubbled up and then I went and got a whore
And of course you know I had to get some more
Bitches leave, bitches lie
Puttin your life in their hands would be suicide
I done tried a dozen times I Almost died
Errybody wanna eat but none a them want to cook
You're either at the table or you're just another ingredient in the cook book
Bitch I'm on that shit now
I don't leave the house without pistol
Fitting this big ol' dick down your fuckin throat is the only positive thing you can do wit a big mouth
I been ridin Tesla, watch these doors lift up and then lift out
I was the first trapper ta go electric
Watch errybody be on that shit now
If you ain't a stand up nigga then sit down
You left me bitch you missed out
You the type ta answer your niggaz prison call and then hit 2 or then hit pound
These niggaz say they real and it's mob for life
Then how the fuck you gon switch now
You wanna sing ta 12 this chop'll make a big nigga dance, got that Chris Brown

Rare
You cannot find them anywhere
They ain't over here or over there
Real niggaz is
Rare
I swear I swear I swear
They lie and say they there but they ain't there
Honesty is

These two shoes up on my feet that shit is
Rare
Name a time I don't have blammy on me
Rare
If I shoot at dude and miss that shit is
Rare
When you niggaz tell the truth that shit is
Rare

If I let you tell me about me
I destroy everything I touch
If I let you tell me about me
Everything I did was not enough
If I let you tell me about me
I'm a monster I didn't Love
If I let you tell me about me
I'm a machine I can take the punch
If I let you tell me about me
I destroy everything I touch
If I let you tell me about me
Everything I did was not enough
If I let you tell me about me
I'm a monster I didn't Love
If I let you tell me about me
I'm a machine I can take the punch

I can't fuck around wit you snakes
So I levitate
I had people's tryna take my life
You didn't give a shit
You said you was down for me till death
You tried to kill yourself
That's a cheat code this ain't a game
Get the record straight
You was only rockin for a year
You don't know my pain
We all have PTDS over here
I just show restraint
You had perverts touch you in the club
That shit fucked wit you
I had bitches touch me wit no love
I had ta Fuck em to
My head and my heart been fucked up
You didn't help with that
You told me you'd be girl for life
Why did you tell me that
Why'd you bring a snake to the pack
And vouch for her like that
Why do you lie and say that nothing's wrong then hiss and purr like that
Why do you feel entitled to my trust
When you lie to me
That one privilege of yours got you fucked up
You called them guys on me
I'm gettin war calls from my bros
When try ta sleep
Real ones know that I am not a lame
And that imma squeeze

Rare
You cannot find them anywhere
They ain't over here or over there
Real niggaz is
Rare
I swear I swear I swear
They lie and say they there but they ain't there
Honesty is
Rare
These two shoes up on my feet that shit is
Rare
Name a time I don't have blammy on me
Rare
If I shoot at dude and miss that shit is
Rare
When you niggaz tell the truth that shit is
Rare

You think that you understand it all
You don't know a thing
I never told you a single lie
You on your own wit that
Why you paint me out to be a Ape
I never hit you girl
They try ta put us all up in a cage
We live in different worlds
I pray for the future kids you want
That mindset passes on
Just because you fuck wit black men
Don't mean you give a fuck
Whenever I'm ridin in the city I got the windows up
Hopin that they don't see thru these tints
And take me from my loves

If I let you tell me about me
I destroy everything I touch
If I let you tell me about me
Everything I did was not enough
If I let you tell me about me
I'm a monster I didn't Love




If I let you tell me about me
I'm a machine I can take the punch

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Raz Simone's song Rare are a reflection of the rapper's experience of losing people he cared about and being surrounded by fake and untrustworthy people. He starts off by lamenting that if it's not one thing, it's another, and goes on to talk about how in the span of one week, he lost five women and two brothers. Despite everyone around him claiming to be loyal, Simone thinks that most people are soft and cannot be relied on. He emphasizes that real people are hard to come by, and even though they claim to care, they're never truly there when it matters. His use of the word "rare" in the chorus is a nod to the overall theme of the song: finding genuine people and good things in life is rare.


Throughout the song, Simone delves into issues like trust, loyalty, honesty, and identity. He feels misunderstood and has a sense of being misrepresented. Simone feels the weight of people's expectations and tries to reconcile it with his own experiences. The lyrics are matter-of-fact and unapologetic, reflecting his straightforward style.


In the end, the song's lyrics are about survival — the survival of the fittest, the strong, and the authentic. The song is a commentary on how in a world of fake and materialistic people, the actual human connections are hard to come by.
