Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Turn me up, turn me up
I ain't got no friends but I got opps because I'm steady burnin' bridges
You was close, we was gang, now your ass the opposition
You was in my campaign and now you turned your back against me
And I had to leave my bitch 'cause she always in her feelings
Baller blocking, niggas be hating, always steady fouling us
I told lil' baby leave the scale, all that work I weigh it up
Switching cars, went to Baltimore and up from dawn to dusk
I'm a real nice guy but get violent 'cause I kill you with kindness
I'll let you get this pass today, later I'm gon' find you
Your bitch goofy, my bitch gangster, when we see y'all, y'all be quiet
All that woofing and that talking, when we see them, they it's silent
Can't be indecisive, make your mind up, you want this guap?
I'm in these streets, you fuck with the streets, bitch we go two different walks
Fuck the middleman, we done met the plug at the spot
Plot twist, he tried to backdoor me and he still got dropped
After I fuck I disappear, like Criss Angel, I don't know magic
If I did then I wouldn't let you know about my habits
Fell on my ass and then got up cause' I'm Mr. Make It Happen
It could be a disaster, I don't give a fuck, I just be cashin'
Courtney and Ember knocked on the door and me and Bravo kicked it down
Up that fire, if he reach for his, gon' ahead, lay him down
Life ain't fair, we spin that block, I get that choppa merry go round
I wish my bitch was like my gun cause' that compressor make no sound
I got no girl, 'cause she can't handle the truth, want me to be honest
Lie to my bitch 'cause if I didn't then she think everything promised
God with me, knew what I was and I'm a demon, I'm just modest
If I was broke you wouldn't be ridin'
Have no clout or buzz, you outtie
In Thouxanbanfauni's song "Brutally Honest," the lyrics depict a sense of betrayal and isolation. The opening lines, "Aye Grimes that's hot, Turn me up, turn me up," serve as an introduction and a request for increased volume.
The first verse delves into the theme of burning bridges and losing friends. The artist acknowledges that he may not have any close friends but instead encounters opposition from those he once considered allies. This change in dynamic is fueled by the betrayal of someone who was once a part of his inner circle. The artist was previously closely affiliated with this person, but they have now turned their back on him. Furthermore, the artist had to end a romantic relationship due to his partner's heightened emotional sensitivity.
The song continues with references to basketball and the constant presence of haters, who consistently try to disrupt the artist's success. The artist expresses confusion as to why these individuals continue to wait for him to fail. Despite this, the artist confidently proclaims that he won't wait for anyone's approval or support. He also mentions his involvement in illegal activities, such as drug dealing, and his ability to navigate different cities, like Baltimore.
Thouxanbanfauni goes on to describe his approach to conflicts. While he states that he is generally a nice person, he also acknowledges his potential for violence if provoked. He warns someone that he's willing to give them a pass for their behavior today, but later, he will seek retribution. The artist contrasts the behavior of his own gangster girlfriend to the timidity of his opponent's female companions.
The following lines highlight the artist's commitment to making decisive choices for financial gain. He emphasizes his dedication to street life and how it differs from other people's experiences. He believes in direct dealings, avoiding intermediaries and directly meeting suppliers. However, he recalls a situation where someone he trusted attempted to deceive him, resulting in their downfall.
Thouxanbanfauni addresses his lifestyle and personal habits. He mentions disappearing after sexual encounters, drawing a parallel to the magician Criss Angel and his ability to seemingly vanish. The artist wants to maintain a level of mystery, not divulging all aspects of his life to others. He acknowledges that he has faced setbacks but affirms his ability to persevere and succeed.
The final lines of the verse touch on encounters with individuals named Courtney and Ember, who unexpectedly arrived at his door. The artist and his companion, Bravo, confront the situation with force, displaying a willingness to protect themselves. The lyrics also express a belief that life isn't fair, as they describe retaliatory actions and the usage of firearms.
The last few lines depict the artist's preference for a gun over a romantic relationship, metaphorically commenting on the reliability and silence of a firearm. Finally, he questions the loyalty of a hypothetical partner, suggesting they would not be by his side if he didn't possess fame or social influence, emphasizing the potential superficiality of relationships.
Overall, Thouxanbanfauni's "Brutally Honest" illustrates themes of betrayal, isolation, the trappings of fame, and the artist's resilience in the face of adversity.

Changing vehicles, went to Baltimore and hustled relentlessly from sunrise to sunset
I'm a real nice guy but get violent 'cause I kill you with kindness
I may seem pleasant, but I can become aggressive and harm you in a seemingly benevolent manner

You can't be unsure, make a decision, do you want this money?
I'm in these streets, you fuck with the streets, bitch we go two different walks
I'm deeply involved in street life, while you just associate with it, we have vastly different lifestyles
Fuck the middleman, we done met the plug at the spot

Unexpectedly, he attempted to betray me, but I retaliated and defeated him
After I fuck I disappear, like Criss Angel, I don't know magic
After sexual encounters, I vanish, just like Criss Angel, but it's not due to supernatural abilities
If I did then I wouldn't let you know about my habits
If I possessed magical powers, I wouldn't disclose them to you
Fell on my ass and then got up cause' I'm Mr. Make It Happen
Even after facing failure, I quickly recovered because I'm determined to achieve success
It could be a disaster, I don't give a fuck, I just be cashin'
It might turn into a catastrophe, but I don't care, I'm only focused on making money
Courtney and Ember knocked on the door and me and Bravo kicked it down
Courtney and Ember made their presence known, and me and Bravo forcefully entered
Up that fire, if he reach for his, gon' ahead, lay him down
Raise the heat, if he attempts to draw his weapon, go ahead and shoot him
Life ain't fair, we spin that block, I get that choppa merry go round
Life is unjust, we circle the neighborhood, I acquire a rapid-firing gun
I wish my bitch was like my gun cause' that compressor make no sound
I desire my girlfriend to imitate my firearm because its silencer produces no noise
I got no girl, 'cause she can't handle the truth, want me to be honest
I don't have a girlfriend because she can't handle the reality, she wants me to be completely honest with her
Lie to my bitch 'cause if I didn't then she think everything promised
I deceive my girlfriend because if I didn't, she would believe every promise made
God with me, knew what I was and I'm a demon, I'm just modest
I have the support of a higher power, who knows my true nature as a sinful being, but I downplay it
If I was broke you wouldn't be ridin'
If I were financially unstable, you wouldn't be associated with me
Have no clout or buzz, you outtie
If I had no influence or popularity, you wouldn't be around me
