Ubiquitous Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
First time offense in a class full of felonies
Class A, class sheet passion is elatry
He had a rock, she done got knock selling trees
Hella feast still can't pay the bill, Bellamy
It's all relative, by pound sell a brick
Preach from the soapbox mask your intelligence
Drop in a buck and get him in back in his element
Drop with the state throw a lock on the gate
Stop, stay stop while I drop on a snake
Wipe that, clean up relapse you're right back
Getting bloods to the ring maybe he can fight back
Hustle for cheese, trap mice in a rap light
Ask once please, second time I don't ask nice
Blunt wraps trees digital's in the bag right
Pistol slung by the clocks with the sag right
Ubi's aware by the tootiem blare
That's a life, dog do me a dare it's all musical chairs
Y'all better move to the beat, suit with the beat, beat
By the music now you're losing your seat, seat
The music stopped, the lady died
New school hustlers born in '85
If you play with dice you pay the price
Pray to Christ somebody come say they light
Cause when the music stop the lady died
New school hustlers born in '85
And if you play with dice you pay the price
Pray to Christ somebody come say they light
2: Godemis]
Street soldier, 5 star general
Everybody know we go hard for the chemical
Lock the block down, beat the strip up
For the things in the clubs who come to re-up
On the often, floss them stuntin' is a habit
If somebody got it then I mean he gotta have it
As well, he ain't got a bag of himself
All he gotta do is collect the dough when it's dealt
Back to him in the fat black human
Keep a post in the back with a crack pack on him
Black mask and a fully loaded Glock strapped to him
Cops assume they don't wanna pour Glocks on 'em
Cause it will most certainly be a shootout
Gun hold pause don't wanna bullet through law
New route on 'em when the SWAT picks him
Tear gas, no mask when the door kicked in
And then they rushed him, cuffed him
Put him to the pavement, read him his rights
Something to say save it, they told him
Whether you was cool or not
You paid your dues, the fools know the music stop
And the lady died
New school hustlers born in '85
And if you play with dice you pay the price
Pray to Christ somebody gon' say they light
3: Ubiquitous]
Cause when the music stop the lady died
New school hustlers born in '85
And if you play with dice you pay the price
Pray to Christ somebody save them
You better pray for them
Street life weren't made for them
Amen, say ten laying wait for them
No escape for them, celebrate for them
Pour the liquor out now, buy a case for them
They pass the pastor, hold a wake for them
No chiropractor gonna straighten them
'Bout nobody got faith in them
Nothin' to hold them together like a safety pin
They don't play to win
Seems drug money's never enough
They stacked they chips up never settled them up
The house will take you, you don't take the house
The mouse don't chase the cat, cats chase the mouse
They dig up in your pocket, scrape them out
So like Diddy Venage you can hate them now
But you can't stop, won't stop the music
'Til the Glock go click-clack (pah! pah!)
In the song “Musical Chairs” by Ubiquitous, we see a reflection on the harsh realities of street life and the consequences that come with playing in the game. The lyrics express the common theme of survival in the streets, where individuals often act out of necessity and desperation to make ends meet. The song talks about drugs, violence, and the price one pays when they choose to involve themselves in that lifestyle.
The lyrics paint a picture of a world where every action has a reaction, and one's safety can be threatened at every turn. The lines "Street soldier, 5-star general, Everybody knows we go hard for the chemical" suggest the idea that being in the streets is like being at war. The line, "They stacked they chips up never settled them up" suggests that the hustlers never truly win, and there will always be more bills to pay. Furthermore, the lyrics use musical chairs as a metaphor to illustrate the ever-changing nature of street life; when the music stops, "the lady died," and someone will always be left without a chair.
Overall, the lyrics in “Musical Chairs” provide a sobering message about the harsh realities of street life, reminding listeners that there are always consequences to one's actions.

Carrying a gun in a concealed way
Ubi's aware by the tootiem blare
The artist is alert and aware of their surroundings
That's a life, dog do me a dare it's all musical chairs
The singer compares the drug life to a game of musical chairs, where people are constantly competing for a limited number of seats
Y'all better move to the beat, suit with the beat, beat
The singer warns others to stay in line and follow the rules
By the music now you're losing your seat, seat
Those who break the rules will lose their place in the drug ring
Street soldier, 5 star general
The artist is a high-ranking member of the drug ring, like a general in an army
Everybody know we go hard for the chemical
The artist and their team are dedicated to drug-selling
Lock the block down, beat the strip up
Clearing out the competition from a certain area
For the things in the clubs who come to re-up
Selling drugs to club-goers who run out and need more
Floss them stuntin' is a habit
The singer shows off their wealth as a habit
If somebody got it then I mean he gotta have it
If someone else has something valuable, the singer feels entitled to obtain it
As well, he ain't got a bag of himself
The singer doesn't personally have drugs for sale
All he gotta do is collect the dough when it's dealt
The artist's role is to collect money for the drugs others sell
Back to him in the fat black human
Money from drugs sold is given back to the artist in the form of a large amount of cash
Keep a post in the back with a crack pack on him
Having a lookout at all times, who also carries drugs with them
Black mask and a fully loaded Glock strapped to him
The lookout also carries a gun and hides their face
Cops assume they don't wanna pour Glocks on 'em
Police are hesitant to engage in a shootout with the artist's team
Cause it will most certainly be a shootout
The artist is willing to use violence to protect their drug-selling operation
Gun hold pause don't wanna bullet through law
The artist has to be careful not to kill a police officer
New route on 'em when the SWAT picks him
The singer's team will have a new plan if confronted by SWAT teams
Tear gas, no mask when the door kicked in
SWAT teams will release tear gas and the artist's team may not be prepared with gas masks
And then they rushed him, cuffed him
The singer was arrested
Put him to the pavement, read him his rights
The police took the singer down and read them their Miranda rights
Something to say save it, they told him
The singer was advised by police not to say anything that could incriminate them further
Whether you was cool or not
It doesn't matter if the artist and police were on good terms or not
You paid your dues, the fools know the music stop
The artist is facing the consequences for their actions and the drug operation has come to an end
You better pray for them
Others should pray for the singer and their team
Street life weren't made for them
The street life is not a place for everyone
Amen, say ten laying wait for them
Even if death is waiting for them, the artist and their team continue their drug operation
No escape for them, celebrate for them
Even if there is no escape for the artist and their team, they still feel successful
Pour the liquor out now, buy a case for them
In honor of the artist and their team, others should drink in celebration
They pass the pastor, hold a wake for them
Others should hold a wake in honor of the singer and their team
No chiropractor gonna straighten them
No one can fix the artist's and their team's problems
'Bout nobody got faith in them
Others don't believe in the singer and their team
Nothin' to hold them together like a safety pin
The singer and their team have nothing keeping them together
They don't play to win
The singer and their team operate without a plan for success
Seems drug money's never enough
The artist and their team always want more money from selling drugs
They stacked they chips up never settled them up
The artist and their team have a lot of money but never settle their debts
The house will take you, you don't take the house
The drug-selling operation will ultimately bring the singer and their team down, rather than them succeeding in the operation
The mouse don't chase the cat, cats chase the mouse
The singer believes they are in control and will win out over others
They dig up in your pocket, scrape them out
Others will steal from the artist and their team
So like Diddy Venage you can hate them now
Others can dislike the artist and their team
But you can't stop, won't stop the music
The artist won't stop their drug-selling operation
'Til the Glock go click-clack (pah! pah!)
The singer will continue selling drugs until someone stops them through violence
