STFU Part 2
Sean Price Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I don't know today's math, don't keep track of time
Universal beat down, beat down your universe
Sean P AKA you the worst
The best rapper, the worst rapper
The sket clapper, the purse snatcher
The neck snapper, the Earth slapper
The opposite of a fucking Duran Duran song
That nigga soft with the wack shit
My raps slap the Earth off of its axis
You dealing with a motherfucking boss, you bastard
Niggas die when I'm raising my voice a ratchet
Motherfucker, do you
Form a fan, cast it, smacked posted on YouTube
P, I spray the gat at your ride
Sean Price the greatest rapper alive
Shut the fuck up
The first verse uno, second verse dos
First verse is bueno, the next one is boss
Back when Milk was chilling
My man smoked a bag of dust and killed his children
No fucking around, no Wilt the stilting
Niggas that's off balance gets killed for tilting
I bang burners at bitches that's built for building
Cover your Ralph Tresvant, quilt your feelings
Too hot, take off the hot sweater
Expose a lot of chedder, get popped with a hot Beretta
African boss Mandela
Idi Amin when smoking the ya mean
Clutching the pound
Then I start waving my arms and fucking around
Niggas stop playing with Sean, listen
I spit prison imam bars
That'll put you in a ER, pa
Shut the fuck up
In the song "STFU Part 2" by Sean Price, he uses witty wordplay to boast about his skills as a rapper and to put other rappers in their place. The first two lines of the lyrics speak to Sean's focus on his craft, with an implication that he is unconcerned with anything else. He then asserts his dominance over the listener's universe with a "beat down," playing on the dual meaning of the term as both physical violence and musical rhythm. Sean then reinforces his status as the worst or best rapper, depending on how one interprets the lyrics, and uses a series of vivid descriptors to paint a picture of his dangerous and uncompromising persona.
The second verse continues in this same vein, with Sean referencing the drug PCP and a tragic real-life incident as a way of claiming his "no fucking around" attitude towards his craft. He again uses metaphors of physical force and destruction to make clear his dominance, referencing African leaders Mandela and Idi Amin as a way of lending his braggadocio a sense of global reach. Finally, he ends the verse with a warning to anyone who would challenge him, asserting that his knowledge and experience are powerful enough to put someone in the emergency room.
