No Cap
Rocom Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Knew what to do, never had to listen
Change that, it was all so selfish
Yeah
Gotta help the helpless
Felt this like weights on shoulders
Some friends gone I'm another year older
Colder, but the sun came out
Wanna leave this town, find a way out
Make new sounds, make 'em all proud
Get loud, top of the roof
Break these cages, cut 'em all loose
Run free, what a way to be
Stuck to a desk, locked to a seat
Wanna be anywhere else
Know what it means been there myself
No cap, it could be like that
Change it up, yeah I got your back
Like facts put us on the map
Get this cash and we'll never look back
My bad, did I let you down
Play too much just messing around
Too far, did I make you hurt
Not the last, not the first
Cursed with a hex, hit with a spell
Don't care what's next, I wish you well
Can't tell a crow from a raven
Birds and a stone when I had to cave in
Saving everything for what
The perfect moment, but it just won't come
So fuck the stars, curse the sun
Hit like a brick and I felt so numb
Wanna have the answers, make some laughter
Shift the mood living in the after
Wouldn't dare to ask, how to change it
Make some way, it's on us to make it
No cap, it could be like that
Change it up, yeah I got your back
Like facts put us on the map
Get this cash and we'll never look back
Look around and we're all so down
Beat up, yelled at, pushed back in the crowd
Stood up, felt by myself
Until it got so loud, everyone could help
Got strong, what's yours is mine
If it ain't there, we could make the time
No time like now when I scratch the track
It's our land too, we could take it back
Nobody to lead, we lead together
You and me, we could all do it better
Write the letters, make the change
If you care for me, then I care the same
All the same hours, all the same days
Fight the power, fight for change
Won't let up, won't back down
Never alone because I got you now
No cap, it could be like that
Change it up, yeah I got your back
Like facts put us on the map
Get this cash and we'll never look back
No cap, it could be like that
Change it up, yeah I got your back
Like facts put us on the map
Get this cash and we'll never look back

Gotta help the helpless
We must assist those in need

Click the shifter move one lane down
Changing gears and shifting focus to a different direction

Desiring to escape from this location and discover a new path

Obtain financial success and never dwell on the past
My bad, did I let you down
Apologies, have I disappointed you
Play too much just messing around
Engaging in excessive playful behavior without seriousness
Too far, did I make you hurt
Have I gone to an extreme extent causing you pain
Not the last, not the first
Neither the final nor initial occurrence
Cursed with a hex, hit with a spell
Subjected to a curse or bewitchment
Don't care what's next, I wish you well
Unconcerned about the future, but genuinely hoping for your happiness
Can't tell a crow from a raven
Unable to distinguish between a crow and a raven
Birds and a stone when I had to cave in
Metaphorically striking two birds with one stone when forced to yield
Saving everything for what
Hoarding everything without knowing the purpose
The perfect moment, but it just won't come
Anticipating the ideal opportunity that never arrives
So fuck the stars, curse the sun
Rejecting celestial fate and resenting the sun's influence
Hit like a brick and I felt so numb
Struck forcefully, causing emotional numbness
Wanna have the answers, make some laughter
Desiring to possess solutions and create amusement
Shift the mood living in the after
Altering the atmosphere and adapting to post-event circumstances
Wouldn't dare to ask, how to change it
Reluctant to inquire about how to initiate the transformation
Make some way, it's on us to make it
Creating a path forward, relying on ourselves to accomplish it
Look around and we're all so down
Observing the shared sadness and despair in our surroundings
Beat up, yelled at, pushed back in the crowd
Physically and verbally assaulted, oppressed within a group
Stood up, felt by myself
Being independent and distinctly perceived
Until it got so loud, everyone could help
Eventually, the situation garnered attention and support from everyone
Got strong, what's yours is mine
Obtained strength, emphasizing the concept of shared possessions
If it ain't there, we could make the time
If the opportunity doesn't exist, we can create it
No time like now when I scratch the track
The present moment is ideal for me to produce music
It's our land too, we could take it back
We also have a claim to this territory, and we can reclaim it
Nobody to lead, we lead together
No one person to guide, but rather we collectively take charge
You and me, we could all do it better
Together, we have the potential to accomplish things more effectively
Write the letters, make the change
Compose written messages to instigate transformation
If you care for me, then I care the same
If you express concern for me, I reciprocate that care
All the same hours, all the same days
Sharing identical timeframes and days
Fight the power, fight for change
Confronting authority and advocating for transformation
Won't let up, won't back down
Persisting and refusing to retreat
Never alone because I got you now
Never experiencing solitude because I have your support now
No cap, it could be like that
No exaggeration, the depicted scenario is possible
Change it up, yeah I got your back
Alter the situation, I am here to support you
Like facts, put us on the map
Definitively, our achievements gain recognition
Get this cash and we'll never look back
Obtain wealth and never dwell on the past
No cap, it could be like that
Without exaggeration, the depicted scenario is possible
Change it up, yeah I got your back
Alter the situation, I am here to support you
Like facts, put us on the map
Definitively, our achievements gain recognition
Get this cash and we'll never look back
Obtain wealth and never dwell on the past
