Ha
Shake
Move
Hello how you doing
It's nice to meet you
To take in this music
I'ma move in your space and snake the pawn
And crown myslf the Don
Of a bass and bomb
Uh
Keep calm
The wrath of retards
Is the fast recharge
The last unique form
The walls you put up
That had to be return
When I told Cheapshot to stab the begone
Verse 2 (Ryu)
Yo
You know it's on
You can check my grin
Every songs got bumps like infected skin'
I don't got big trucks with expensive rims
I got five bucks till my check comes in
I can show you real quick what offensive is
Touch my fat and beg till you suck my tits
In the front row pissing on a bunch of kids
You better damn well know who the fuck this is
Chorus
Oh no
No no no no
Roll out
Let's go
Got my smokes and my liquor
Don't think that we won't get you
One day real soon
You'll be looking around like who knew
Then we come out quick and boom boom
We win
You lose
Verse 3 (Ryu)
Yo
Megadef
Uh
Buck the system
My shit knocks like a busted piston
Double fisted
Piece of cake
My click hold more liquid then a freaking lake
Hit my cell
You can meet your fate
What's up
Hell is hot
And the pizza's great
Who the balls out camp bang and stay home with
Woooo
Ryu and Tak, Cheapshot you know this
Verse 4 (Tak)
She had the
Skin of a cashew
Tall physique
She spoke greek
With a low key
Tone that grabs you
Ripe to pick once
Lips type to kiss
But
She's outta my league
Well life's a huh
Still I'm on the hunt
Looking for whoever to kill
Must've see at least a hundred like Cruella Deville
So when I'm in the joint
Packing a beretta to chill
I'm just acting
Money's what I get for the thrill
Yeah
Chorus
Verse 5 (Tak)
Watch the edge
Two shots of vodka
Said I look much different
Since I chopped the dreads
Cool
Now I'm in disguise
With a hat to the side
You can't catch me
Ooops
Look beware of the line
I'm so sassy
Slap a tab on the plastic
Till I puke
And ride shotgun in a taxi
Oh
In the land of Megadef
It's over
Never get sober
Hell of a steamroller
Verse 6 (Ryu)
Yo
The doors open
Be my guest
Ugh
You know it's hot
You can see my breath
In the summer the sun's up
The gun becomes us
What
You know my name
Tiger Chan you numb nuts
Got the props and the kicks to match
Off my dick for once let me itch my sack
Go to war with the Irish
Wish you did
I'll tell your whole fanbase what a bitch you is
Chorus
The song "You Lose" by Styles of Beyond is a rap/hip-hop track that features strong beats with intense and aggressive lyrics. The song has six verses and a repetitive chorus. The first verse, performed by Tak, talks about his confidence in his music and how he is ready to take on anyone who tries to bring him down. He uses the metaphor of a chessboard, calling himself the "Don" who will "snake the pawn." Tak also talks about the "wrath of retards," referring to the haters who cannot appreciate his music. On the other hand, the second verse by Ryu showcases the offensive nature of his rap. He talks about his ability to create "bumps" like an "infected skin," and he boasts about his ability to "piss on a bunch of kids." This verse shows Ryu's disregard for authority or social norms.
The chorus of the song repeats the phrase "You lose," which reinforces the aggressive nature of the song. The third verse by Ryu talks about his ability to "buck the system" and create powerful music that can knock like a busted piston. He also talks about his crew called Megadef and their unique style, which is all about staying high and never getting sober. The fourth verse by Tak talks about his struggle with finding the right woman and how he is always on the hunt for a perfect match. He talks about his confidence in his ability to kill anyone who tries to bring him down. Finally, the fifth verse by Tak talks about his transformation after chopping his dreadlocks, which helped him to disguise himself. He mentions his love for vodka and the Megadef culture, which is all about being rebellious and living life on one's own terms.
Overall, "You Lose" is a powerful track that showcases the confident and aggressive nature of Styles of Beyond's style. The lyrics are intense and contain a lot of profanity, but they also showcase the group's ability to create unique metaphors and powerful rhymes.
