The band consists of vocalist Densil McFarlane, guitarist Joe Brosnan and drummer Colanthony Humphrey. Keyboardist Jemuel Roberts was also a member of the band in the mid-2010s, but is no longer with the band.
The band was formed in 2007, initially as a hip-hop production duo consisting of McFarlane and Humphrey. Their music became more punk-oriented after they were arrested in a racial profiling incident, which interfered with McFarlane's plans to attend university in the United States. They released their debut EP, Interchorus, in 2009.
Outsah
The OBGMs Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'll fuck you up
I'll fuck you up
I'll fuck you up, ya
That's on my momma
That's on my momma
That's on my momma
On my mind just a bit
In my mind, I hit a lick
Never been a thug or a bitch
Never been the one to start the shit
But I've been the one to end the shit
On sight and then again
Please don't be the way my life is
Kill me frustrations
'Cause I don't want to play
'Cause I don't want to play
You can meet me outsah
You can meet me outsah
'Cause I won't mess around
'Cause I won't mess around
You can meet me outsah
You can meet me outsah
'Cause I don't give a fuck
'Cause I don't give a fuck
You can meet me outsah
You can meet me outsah
'Cause I don't want to play
'Cause I don't want to play
You can meet me outsah
You can meet me outsah
The song "Outsah" by The OBGMs is a hard-hitting anthem that reflects the frustration and anger of the African-American community towards police brutality and systemic racism in America. The lyrics express a sense of pent-up rage and defiance, with the repeated refrain "I'll fuck you up" serving as a call to arms against oppressive forces. The line "That's on my momma" adds a layer of personal conviction, suggesting that the singer is willing to put everything on the line to fight for their rights.
The verse touches on the idea of being pushed to your limit and taking matters into your own hands. The singer acknowledges that they are not a typical "thug or bitch" and do not start trouble, but they are also not afraid to defend themselves and end conflicts. The line "Kill me frustrations" speaks to the internal struggle of dealing with constant injustice and the toll it takes on one's mental health. The chorus emphasizes that the singer is not playing games and will not compromise their principles, urging anyone who disagrees with them to "meet me outsah" (outside).
Overall, "Outsah" is a powerful statement of resistance that reflects a widespread sentiment of frustration and anger towards systemic oppression. It is a reminder that when the justice system fails to protect its citizens, they will need to rely on themselves to fight for their rights and take a stand.
