Sean Price Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You hate me, I hate you, this the part where I shoot at you
*Alright in this scene, the rapper disses you, here's the gun aaand action !*
Ayo, idle threats from you rappers don't move me
I know tough, and you niggers straight out the movies
*And cut ! That was a good one, that was a good one, get ready for the next shot*
Shorty, you treated with class, I treat it like dirt
I put my, dick in the ass and my hand in the purse
" Oh I can fuck you in your ass, fuck around and catch somethin', but I can't get no motherfuckin card man, punk bitch"
Ayo, its nothing to throw the gat to you guys
I wouldn't do it cause rattin' at an all time high, you'd probably do it.
"Them niggas talk too much man, signin statement after ??????? man"
Ya'll motherfuckers weak and you frail
I'm not fool I went to war with the 'ricans in jail, I'm old school
Peice to Ike Oz, Ag Allah, my man PF cuttin' on my spanish niggas, what up
Mater fact I took your sneakers in jail,
Cut your cheek, blood, skeet, next week I make bail
Word up, the fresh new envy's, the white and burgundy ones
Ayo, chillin in the city is hard
Niggas bugged out livin' like the "City Of God"

In the first two lines of "Directors Cut" by Sean Price, the rapper acknowledges that someone hates him and he hates them back. He then sets the scene for a film, where he pulls out a gun and says "alright in this scene, the rapper disses you, here's the gun aaand action!" He proceeds to rap about how idle threats from other rappers don't move him and he knows real toughness, unlike those who are simply playing a character from the movies. The scene changes, and he reveals how he treats women poorly, putting his own pleasure above theirs. Then he switches back to the film, where he comments on how he wouldn't trust the other guys with his gun because they're likely to rat him out. He gives a shoutout to friends and associates, and then shares how he took someone's sneakers and cut their cheek in jail. Finally, he raps about how tough life is in the city, referencing the Brazilian film "City of God".
The lyrics in this song highlight Sean Price's aggressive and confrontational style. He doesn't shy away from controversial lyrics and instead chooses to embrace them, drawing attention to the contradictions and violence present in hip hop and urban life. By framing the song as a scene in a movie, he's commenting on the performative nature of rap and how it can be used to create an image or persona rather than telling a true story. Overall, "Directors Cut" is a dark and gritty track that showcases Sean Price's unique perspective and approach to rap music.
