Reason Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Yeah
Soulful, soulful
Yeah-yeah
Yeah-yeah

Look, she just wanna be a artist
She just wanna be a artist
She just wanna be a artist
But shit a little difficult walking with a vagina
Gotta find a manager that wanna get behind her
Without tryna get behind her, impossible
Know she can make it, believe it with every follicle
But not giving up pussy could be a obstacle
Look, she just wanna be an artist
Go bar-to-bar with your favorite rapper
Lines doper than your favorite trapper
But who gives a fuck? Bitch, we wanna see you shake somethin'
Ain't havin' surgery, ain't tryna fake nothin'
Huh, good luck, boo, now you stuck too
Her talent could kill all of your weapons real
But we ain't listenin' to shit without the sex appeal
I had a convo with Layla, sharing some of her wisdom with me
Came to kick it with me, talent, she wasn't missing any
Lady 'Pac and Biggie, but still underrated
It's like we all know the game, but still gotta play it
Look, nigga, she just wanna be a artist
But that shit feel impossible
Know she can make it with every follicle
But not giving up pussy could be your greatest fucking obstacle
That's real

Don't you fall, don't you fall, don't you fall
Don't you fall, don't you fall, don't you fall
Don't you fall, don't you fall, don't you fall
Don't you fall, don't you fall, don't you fall

Look, he just wanna be a artist
But where you from, nigga? Who you bang with? (Right)
Where your guns, nigga? Who you hang with? (Right)
Oh, you woke, huh? Fuck that lame shit
You just another nigga, put some murder on
Do your dance, nigga (hey), get your Shmurda on (hey)
Huh, we need these young kids to follow in your steps
We gon' walk you to your grave and celebrate your death
Look, you said you wanna be an artist
Well, we gon' turn you to an addict
Get rid of the niggas that you got on with
Then give you the tools to dig your own shit
Surround you with some wack niggas
Some yes men that's gon' tell you that your raps iller
A couple cars, some jewelry, make your stacks bigger
Then one day you could become the next Mac Miller
Here's your chance, nigga, sign here

Don't you fall, don't you fall, don't you fall
Don't you fall, don't you fall, don't you fall (yeah, yeah)
Don't you fall, don't you fall, don't you fall (don't you fall)
Don't you fall, don't you fall, don't you fall

I wish I could change it
My soul getting dangerous
I wanna be famous, ooh-ooh
I wish I could change it
We all want the same shit
Just wanna be famous, ooh-ooh

Yeah
Yeah

I know my demons never change
I know my heart should stay the same
Said I would never sell my soul
But I can't seem to find the way
I wish my dreams could wake me up
But all these demons never change
Said I would never sell my soul




I pray that never ever change
Don't you fall

Anyone getting upset over the Mac line realize he was mentioned only to illustrate Reasons point. So many young aspiring rappers fall victim to addiction, Mac was the biggest and most relatable example of this. TDE artists and Mac had great relationships and more importantly respect for each other. This isn't throwing shade, its bring enlightenment to a dark and real problem going on in this country/music industry. Well done Reason. This entire track was crafted with clear intent that did not miss its mark. RIP MAC

On point

Two.Strokes

He disrespected him bro, the dead, u don’t do that. I understand is point but he made it before and after he mentioned Mac, there was no need.

Dan Zimage

@Two.Strokes I didn't interrupt it as disrespect. He mentioned his name to illustrate his point about the tragedy of Mac's death. Art is subjective I get why you perceive it how you do.

jose calixtro

@Two.Strokes he didnt disrespect hes using him as an example to try and stop people from doing what mac did

B- Head

@Two.Strokes what Dan said. You perceived it as being disrespect when it really isn't. If thats how u feel no one can change that but i can guarantee you there he doesnt have a REASON to disrespect mac miller

Personally, I believe he was addressing larger issues in the music industry. The name dropping Mac was in no way disrespect. He’s spitting some real shit and it’s getting people talking forsure.

Aesop

I mean Mac's dead and he's using him to get views/reactions. And in that he's using his name in a derogatory way. Also, he implied that his fame was hype. He had and remains to have a loyal fanbase. No he is being disrespectful. That's being straight. I wouldn't break a sweat arguing over it or anything but I do think it is intentionally disrespectful.

Tjay D

Mark Harrison stop reaching

Aesop

@Tjay D its not reaching at all its pretty simple and concise logic. You don't think saying that "they made him do it" doesn't at all diminish one's own mental health and independence? Its disrespectful. That's not reaching. People are fanboi'ing and being edgy because homeboy is being edgy. Can't say I get on people's hype i just tell it for what it is and it's disrespectful. Words mean things
