Social Club Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Yep!
Ahem
I feel like the blue power ranger, the one that nobody likes
Yeah, uhh, okay I never been afraid of dying
And I know I'm not perfect, what's the point to trying?
They love us but the jealousy will keep em' lying
She said if I loved her I would stay around
Well, I'm absent so now she hates me now
A king to a mob, I could take the crown
Misfits rather burn to death before you see us bow
The rejects, the runaways, the goodie-two shoes will never come this way
I got a bunch of friends that everybody loves to hate
Then I got a bunch of friends but everybody knows they're fake
Yeah, what's a king to a mob?
Matter fact, what's a king to a god?
Yeah, but what's that king to The King of kings?
To bring my family back, I risk everything
Wolf pack, misfit gang, misfit gang, everything
W-w-wolf pack, misfit gang, misfit gang, everything
W-w-wolf pack, misfit gang, misfit gang, everything
The rejects are everywhere. The rejects are everywhere
They said we comin' out of nowhere
My city been on me from havin' this flow, yeah
I had coke plus I had the smile
No more prison livin', my Savior has risen
Dig it?
A wild boy toned it down to executive
Turned my life around, no axis is excellent
The way that we do it is different from ya'll, but don't think that we crazy
This that flow from the future
I told you Cardec rhythm is crazy
Ever since my baby, I've been going so hard
Lecrae got a grammy, now you know that the flow is no prob
It's social club, misfit, better rejects on this go round
Still spittin' like a four pound, till them diamonds come down
Take a song, change a life with it
See I'm rappin word for word, that's so serious
Be a blessing, that's what I say
Heard it from The Lord, but we are in one accord
Hey!
The lyrics to Social Club's song "Animal Kingdom" contain a message of rebellion against societal norms and a focus on individuality within a group of misfits. The first line, "I feel like the blue power ranger, the one that nobody likes" sets the tone for the rest of the song in which the rapper discusses his rejection of fitting in with a preconceived idea of what it means to be successful or popular.
The lyrics acknowledge that the artist is not perfect, but he is not afraid of dying and has no interest in pretending to be something he's not just to please others. The chorus repeats the phrase "misfit gang, everything" which is meant to unite those who feel out of place in society and celebrate their differences. The song also touches on themes of jealousy and the difficulties of balancing relationships with ambition.
Overall, the song celebrates individuality and the courage to stand apart from the crowd. It may also serve as a call to action for those who feel undervalued or excluded to embrace their unique qualities and recognize the power of their misfit community.
