And you know, chea, and you know
Chea, get the money, get the money

Nigga, five hundred grams, rock solid, no shake
Call them thangs Chappelles, he wants his other half baked

You know I like to scramble mine, Waffle House style
Or leave 'em sunny side up and let 'em chill for a while
Not only have I done it, I did it, I lived it
Delivered it myself, yeah, I'm making house visits

I'm praying while I'm driving, it's making me religious
In the headlights behind me, it's making me suspicious

If it got two bags, it must be five stacks
So you owe five stacks, bring that right back

If it take too long, must be rerock
Two in the shoe box, nah, these ain't Reeboks
I don't live there, I just cook there
Ain't nothing in there but fish and cookware

Can't drop our shit, work that fork though
Lock up like woah, Young like fo' sho'

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of U.M.A's song "Don't You" is a raw and unfiltered depiction of the rap industry and the drug game. The song opens with U.M.A rejecting the claims of those who talk about the "work" they do, implying that he is not convinced by those who boast of their illicit activities, as he says, "That don't mean shit, I don't know you." He then goes on to assert his own experience in the drug trade and his ability to manage his business, touting his success and daring anyone to match his level of skill.


U.M.A further emphasizes the need for discretion and caution in dealing with drugs, stating his preference for small-time sales and suggesting that the slightest mistake could lead to dire consequences. The paranoia and danger of the illicit drug trade are evident in his lyrics as he prays while driving and expresses fear of the authorities catching up with him.


Finally, U.M.A concludes by attacking those he views as fake or inexperienced in the drug trade, saying that they are beneath him and not worth his time. He even mentions Jezzy, who is considered one of the realest rappers in the game, as an endorsement of himself.


Overall, "Don't You" is a straightforward and unapologetic song about the drug game and the competitive nature of the rap industry.

The quality of your storytelling and cinematography gets better with every episode. It puts National Geographic to shame!

Arto Nikula

I fully agree that👍🏻

dustman

National geographic sensationalizes everything. This is on much better and more realistic level.

Allison Metcalf

I had the SAME thought about NatGeo while watching this episode.
