Lie lie lie

Overall Meaning

The song Lie by St. Black is a powerful commentary on the prevalence of lies in our society. The lyrics open with a list of different people who are lying, including preachers, teachers, and newsmen. This can be interpreted as a criticism of those who are supposed to be trusted sources of information but are instead perpetuating falsehoods. The song goes on to describe the devastating consequences of these lies, with people dying, children crying, and others starving. This creates a sense of urgency and emphasizes the importance of telling the truth.


The chorus of the song is where the title comes in, as St. Black repeats the phrase "lie lie lie" in a way that feels both accusatory and exasperated. The use of the phrase "ayayay" and "woyoyoy" adds an emotional intensity to the song, as if the lies are causing so much pain and frustration that words alone aren't enough to express it.


The second verse continues with the theme of the first, calling out more people who are lying and warning others to be careful with their information. The line "children learn from you" is particularly impactful, as it highlights the ripple effects of lies and the impact they have on future generations.

LYRICS


Uh yo yo
I'm tired of the he say she say
Why every time they get mad man we pay
She wanna act like the judge and the jury
The police FBI and CIA (all in one)
And now it's me she trying to konvict
She better show me some DNA and fingerprints
She better show me the name of the one who snitched
Matter of fact right now I'm a plead the 5th
She's a muthafucking lie
(Boy please) no way
(Whatever) not me
(Yeah you) man she's just hating
She's a muthafucking lie
(Boy please) no way
(Whatever) not me
(Yeah you) girl you sound crazy
She's a muthafucking lie
(Boy please) no way
(Whatever) not me
(Yeah you) fellas what we gonna do
Take it to the grave
Take it to the grave
Take it to the grave
I'mma take it to the grave
I'mma take it to the grave
Take it to the grave
Take it to the grave
I'mma take it to the grave
She said she did what? With who? She wrong
If she know so much ask her what I had on
True religion air jordan ed hardy c'mon ma that's every nigga at the party
But I was at the studio perfecting my hustle
With kee murphy mo just finishing Brass Knuckles
Now with all these verses fur coats fly whips I done bought for you ma now you still believe that shit
She's a muthafucking lie
(Boy please) no way
(Whatever) not me
(Yeah you) man she's just hating
She's a muthafucking lie
(Boy please) no way
(Whatever) not me
(Yeah you) girl you sound crazy
She's a muthafucking lie
(Boy please) no way
(Whatever) not me
(Yeah you) fellas what we gon do
Take it to the grave 3: 24 when I walked in the door
Phone on lie what it do that for (damn)
She said she went down south all in my texts
3: 30 in the morning got this loud ass message
I didn't even do it though mamma girl lying
(You tried to fuck her)
I didn't even have time
Ask her where she know me from
Who I be with
What number she dial that crazy girl wild
She's a muthafucking lie
(Boy please) no way
(Whatever) not me
(Yeah you) man she's just hating
(She said you met her last summer)
She's a muthafucking lie
(Boy please) no way
(Whatever) not me
(Yeah you) girl you sound crazy
(She said ya'll exchanged numbers)
She's a muthafucking lie
(Boy please) no way
(Whatever) not me
(Yeah you) fellas what we gon do
Take it to the grave I really don't know her
I've seen her on myspace
Looked on her page all I seen was my face
Her user name read kewan for life
With videos and pictures set up so right
The only bad thing she writes me all night
Saying shit like her tits are so tight
She ends it with I love you that starts a big fight
Baby I can't control what she type
She's a muthafucking lie
(Boy please) no way
(Whatever) not me
(Yeah you) man she's just hating
(She said you met her last summer)
She's a muthafucking lie
(Boy please) no way
(Whatever) not me
(Yeah you) girl you sound crazy

She's a muthafucking lie
(Boy please) no way
