Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
This ain't what you want now
This ain't what you want
Too alive can't put me in a box
I redefine any definition you got
Eye of the tiger, I'm making steps to the top
With flames I whip it up you
Take a seat you cannot stand it
All I know the flow hotter
Than a scotch bonnet
Don't try study me, you cannot manage
Told you this ain't what you want, bitch
I'm a fucking phenomenon
(Bitch, I'm a phenomenon)
(Bitch, I'm a phenomenon)
This ain't what you want, bitch
I'm a fucking phenomenon
This ain't what you want, bitch
I'm a fucking phenomenon
(I'm a phenomenon, I'm a phenomenon)
(I'm a phenomenon)
It's Dax!
Yeah, you better listen I'm bringing heat
You'll bе a fan when I start rapping
The way I'll have your fucking hеad spinning
I'm known to spit vicious
Release bombs, they go tick-tick boom!
You blown leave that head missing
I'm a phenomenon
Stacking cheese like it's Parmesan
Eight different flows call me Octomom
I'm moving fast like the autobahn
And I'm independent so I'm not here
Fucking starving like it's ramadan
Sick twisted gifted, can't copy print it
Can't hold me down I shape shift I'm liquid
I killed this beat I might get convicted
They know how I move it was predicted
Persistent, spoke it into existence
So consistent, no assistance
Hear me once become addicted
If I rapped it then I lived it
There's no cap when I be spitting
Told you this ain't what you want, bitch
I'm a fucking phenomenon
This ain't what you want, bitch
I'm a fucking phenomenon
The song "Phenomenon" by Unknown Brain, Dax, and Hoober Vindon is an upbeat and confident rap song that reflects on the art of rapping and how the artists redefine the genre with their unique flow and writing style. The lyrics repeatedly emphasize that "This ain't what you want" and that the artists are "phenomenal" and cannot be put in a box or studied. The song overall is about breaking barriers, being true to oneself, and owning your talents and skills.
The opening lines, "This ain't what you want / This ain't what you want now / This ain't what you want," are repeated several times throughout the song and serve as a reminder to the listener that the artists are not conforming to anyone's expectations. They are not interested in making music that fits into a specific category or mode but are doing their own thing despite any possible criticism or backlash.
The second verse by Dax is particularly noteworthy as he showcases his skillful wordplay, rhyming patterns, and ability to switch up his flow. He talks about releasing "bombs" in his lyrics, and the explosiveness of his rapping is reflected in the ticking beat and forceful instrumental. The artists' confident swagger is palpable throughout the song, bolstered by the repeated chorus, "I'm a fucking phenomenon."
Overall, the song can be seen as a battle cry for any artist or individual who wants to break free of limitations and create something truly unique and special.

Hey Dax,
I totally get your message about being independent, and it's awesome to see you owning that! However, the line about Ramadan and starving might have struck a different chord than you intended.
Ramadan is a deeply personal spiritual experience for many people, and comparing it to involuntary starvation can be hurtful. While both involve abstaining from food, they're driven by completely different forces: Ramadan by faith and discipline, while starvation is unfortunately caused by lack of resources.
Instead of drawing that comparison, maybe we can celebrate the unique aspects of each? Independence is all about having the freedom to choose your path, while Ramadan is a time for reflection, self-control, and increased empathy for those facing hardship. Both are powerful tools for personal growth, just in different ways. ✨
I know you're a thoughtful and creative artist, Dax, and I'm sure you can find even more powerful ways to express your message without unintentionally causing harm. Keep rocking that independent spirit!
