Nuthin' Lyrics

Gawvi, get 'em!

Here we go again in circles
I think I heard it all
We been here before
But we need something more
Something more
Something more
What you say?
I can't hear 'cause you ain't talking 'bout Nuthin' (ain't talking 'bout nuthin')
Ain't talking 'bout nuthin' (ain't talking 'bout nuthin')
Ain't talking 'bout nuthin' (ain't talking 'bout nuthin')
Ain't talking 'bout nuthin' (ain't talking 'bout nuthin')
What you talking 'bout?
They be talking 'bout the same old thing
I'm a have to call a foul in the game
What you talking 'bout?
A little money now you all OG
Talking 'bout it's all eyes on me
They ain't talking 'bout nuthin'

Let me guess, you counting money to the ceiling?
Difference 'tween us like at least a couple million
It's foreign cars, pretty girls everywhere you go
Yeah, I heard it thirty times on the radio
Louis Vuitton ain't gon' pay you for that bragging
And Donatella prolly never heard your album
Yeah they probably 'bout to label me a hater
But I know these people greater than the songs they created
It's little homies in the hood regurgitating
And everybody watching, thinking that you made it
The truth is for a few designer labels and a little bit of paper
Now you twelve years slaving
Hey, but you ain't Lupita so why you beat up and pushing people
To lean on the devil copping a seizure
It sound like you put your feet up
You still a slave and money can't buy you freedom, partna'

Here we go again in circles
I think I heard it all
We been here before
But we need something more
Something more
Something more
What you say?
I can't hear 'cause you ain't talking 'bout nuthin' (ain't talking 'bout nuthin')
Ain't talking 'bout nuthin' (ain't talking 'bout nuthin')
Ain't talking 'bout nuthin' (ain't talking 'bout nuthin')
Ain't talking 'bout nuthin' (ain't talking 'bout nuthin')
What you talking 'bout?
They be talking 'bout the same old thing
I'ma have to call a foul in the game
What you talking 'bout?
A little money now you all OG
Talking 'bout it's all eyes on me
They ain't talking 'bout nuthin'

Tell me why the song's on in my car (hear the radio)
Why the song on in my gym (what they saying now)
And the song's stuck in my head (I can't take no more)
I still don't know what y'all saying
Lemme lemme lemme do this
I'm a be a straight shooter
If we was made in his image, why we so Judas?
Talking bread like we at the last supper
Throwing money at these women make it rain in the summer
I ain't advertising brands on the radio
They expensive and I know they ain't gon' pay me for
Telling kids to go in debt, for the 'vette that they'll prolly never get
But I talk about it every song
And every song talking 'bout they selling work on every corner
Don't talk about the laws, taking kids away from mommas
Don't talk about your homie in the trauma 'cause he shot up
Or what about your young boy messing up the product?
They don't talk about the bond money that they ain't have
And everybody snitch on everybody in the jam
They don't talk about the pain, they don't talk about the struggle
How they turn to the Lord when they ran into trouble
I'ma talk about it
I don't care if the world try to swallow me
I turn my back to 'em, tell 'em all follow me
I know you gon' label me a hater
But inside you are greater than the songs you creating, man

Here we go again in circles
I think I heard it all
We been here before
But we need something more
Something more
Something more
What you say?
I can't hear 'cause you ain't talking 'bout nuthin' (ain't talking 'bout nuthin')
Ain't talking 'bout nuthin' (ain't talking 'bout nuthin')
Ain't talking 'bout nuthin' (ain't talking 'bout nuthin')
Ain't talking 'bout nuthin' (ain't talking 'bout nuthin')
What you talking 'bout?
They be talking 'bout the same old thing
I'ma have to call a foul in the game
What you talking 'bout?
A little money now you all OG
Talking 'bout it's all eyes on me
They ain't talking 'bout nuthin'

Nuthin'

Lecrae is rapping here about people thinking more about what they're saying and promoting. "Humanity is responsible for civilizations, computers, pyramids! We've been created with more potential than what we are talking about in our music," he explained to The Michigan News. "Our aspirations are falling short. Who brags on being a playground all-star? We haven't even explored our NBA potential."

Lecrae raps in his second verse about issues that he feels other rappers should be talking about:

And every song talking 'bout they selling work on every corner
Don't talk about the laws, taking kids away from mommas
Don't talk about your homie in the trauma 'cause he shot up

The last line may be a personal reference to Lecrae's cousin who got shot after leaving a party. The rapper referenced the incident on his Church Clothes 2 track, "My Whole Life Changed." ("My cousin walked out a party, bow, got shot
Pow, pow, pow.")

The song's producer Gawvi was inspired to create an up to date version of the 1995 hip-hop single "I Got 5 On It" by the West Coast duo Luniz. Lecrae recalled on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon. "Gawvi called me into the studio and said, 'I've got this crazy song,' He's always got a set-up for every song. He can't just play it for you. He's gotta tell you this long story about how he was inspired."

Lecrae loved the beat and started working on lyrics for it that night.

This plays during the trailer for the Disney Channel's original movie Bad Hair Day.
