Don't Mean a Thing

(Got a great rhythm, y'all)

(Got a great rhythm, y'all)

(Got a great rhythm, y'all)

(Got a great rhythm, y'all)

Enough of all that, let's switch up the format

And talk some more trash, I'm getting bored fast

Ain't gonna talk gats, just hand-to-hand combat

Man-to-man, full contact, on the floor mat

Your weak blows are deflectable

I'll go toe-to-toe with you, at your own dojo

Want none of you bozos at my show

With some silly ho's shakin' her ass up in my video

I didn't kick flows in the cold 'til my lips froze

So folks can always tell me how my shit goes

I grab a pencil like it's a pistol

But this way it isn't my problem when it hits you

You won't see what you want from me

So don't come to me with "what's it all mean?" 'cause

It don't mean a thing

Your lies is all I despise

Been fightin' guys like you all my life and

They don't mean a thing

My best shit ain't even on my set list

'Cause half the listeners won't even get this

So what? You sold records, you ain't respected

You went too far and tried too hard to be accepted

This can never be a thing of jealousy

Just don't be tellin' me to check the melody

I got the better beats, got the better rhymes

I made sure I bettered mine ahead of time

So what's up kid? Your big head's been busted

Don't get disgusted, I'm just servin' justice

You won't see what you want from me

So don't come to me with "what's it all mean?" 'cause

It don't mean a thing

Your lies is all I despise

Been fightin' guys like you all my life and

They don't mean a thing

(Got a great rhythm, y'all)

(Got a great rhythm, y'all)

(Got a great rhythm, y'all)

So don't attempt to beg for my pardon

'Cause I'll keep talkin' til' my arteries harden

I've taken losses, told off some bosses

Sick of all them jobs that all make me nauseous

It ain't worth it, workin' for no purpose

For cash I'm hurtin', future's uncertain

So I keep searching, livin' and learnin'

Earnest to earn everything I'm deservin'

If I can't be on the stage with my band jammin'

I'll be standin' on the street corner panhandlin'

You won't see what you want from me

So don't come to me with "what's it all mean?" 'cause

It don't mean a thing

Your lies is all I despise

Been fightin' guys like you all my life and

They don't mean a thing

You won't see what you want from me

So don't come to me with "what's it all mean?" 'cause

It don't mean a thing

Your lies is all I despise

Been fightin' guys like you all my life and

They don't mean a thing
