Don't Fuck With Me
Travis Barker Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

[Paul Wall]
Shit shit

I'm just a skinny ass nigga
With the world on my shoulders
Heart black as a motherfucker
My daddy was a solider
Bipolar never

I'm straightforward when I'm with it
Feeling froggy
Leap, ribbit ribbit
Get splitted

Haters all in my vision
Probably trying to stop my living
So I'm strapped with a mag
Yeah them shots what I'm giving

I ain't missing when I hit 'em
That's for sure, I'ma kill 'em
Yeah, the Lord may show mercy
But my squad got no feelings

Its just business
Gotta get it
Get on my grime, stack a milli
In my city better watch it
Cause the Devil's always busy

When the stress on my brain
Shit, I'm smoking til I'm dizzy
Yeah, they'll probably keep me lifted
Trying to stay out of prison

When I'm speaking my mind
Lames think that I'm tripping
But its nothing but the real
Every time that I'm spitting

When haters get to riffing
Then it's caps that i'm peeling
Shit I'm wet, pick a ceiling
I'm Natural born killer

Don't fuck with me

[Chorus]
Trying to get mine when you see me at the crime
Don't fuck with me
If you see me getting high
Trying to keep my piece of mind
Don't fuck with me
You don't like what i'm saying
You don't like my appearance
Don't fuck with me
The doctor told my mama that i'm 50-150
Don't fuck with me

[Jay Rock]
Ain no motherfucker gonna hold my grind
Put the line
Ain't got time
I gotta keep it
While i'm still in my prime
My future looking clearer
Darth vader
Escaping like ya mean
No feel
No deal
Post it up on the top tier
Too many powder breaks
Shaking in the case dear
Skid row
Right back at the spot
Till they drop me in the grave
I can't stop
One way or another
I will be on top
In jail
Knock on wood
I gotta get it outta here
Don't fuck with me

[Chorus]
Trying to get mine when you see me at the crime
Don't fuck with me
If you see me getting high
Trying to keep my piece of mind
Don't fuck with me
You don't like what i'm saying
You don't like my appearance
Don't fuck with me
The doctor told my mama that i'm 50-150
Don't fuck with me

[Kurupt]
Im a hellhound
For youth
Blue chukka motherfukcer
Steve soul
Healer monster
Keeler monster
Jay humphries
Godzilla
Killa
Nigga
Backup swilla
Multiple villains
Eclipse the gorillas
I'm ape shit for
Cooked like bacon eggs and grits
On some G-shit
Take some cheddar
Bricks
Get you clips
Get the fuck off the
Molatov
Kurrupt im sick
And quickly so nigga
Don't fuck with me

[Chorus]
Trying to get mine when you see me at the crime
Don't fuck with me
If you see me getting high
Trying to keep my piece of mind
Don't fuck with me
You don't like what i'm saying
You don't like my appearance
Don't fuck with me
The doctor told my mama that i'm 50-150
Don't fuck with me
Don't fuck with me
Don't fuck with me
Don't fuck with me
Don't fuck with me

@philcourty

Love this song at the moment..can really relate to it with music people trying to change me! 'You don't like my appearance, don't fuck with me' Love the whole album though man, it's a good example of why you're my role model :)

@wambamthankumam

You don't like what I'm saying you don't like my appearance? Don't fuck with me
One of my favorite lines of all time

@JM1993951

That's the hardest Kurupt verse since "Bounce, Rock, Skate" on Streetlights (2010) that actually came out in 2008. I hope this means the upcoming 3 or 4 projects he has are gonna consist of quality lyrics. There are supposedly 2 Dogg Pound albums, a HRSM album, a solo album, a 2nd album with Quik and that album with Daz, RBX & Rage....shit, Kurupt stays busy as fuck.

@dyazmovies

You should check out the new song that leaked with Quik "Devil's Carol", the first release from the DPG/RBX/LoR album "Trajical", and his new song "Let Off"
