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.

    Anomaly Lyrics


    I never fit in I was a outcast
    In grade school out blasting my Outkast
    And I'll pass on running to catch a route pass
    Gimme a pen and a pad I'm tryna outlast
    All of my idols
    American and the foreign-ers
    Before the foreign cars & the boring bars
    Money money money sex drugs and the coroners
    All this killin' but where the bodies at
    All this money where the Bugattis at
    But dig a lil deeper
    And you'll find another insecure man sittin' in a 2 seater
    The same little boy that got beat up
    Plenty pains in his past you could bring up
    Nobody ever told him he could be more than he is
    But inside he's a leader
    I didn't know who was inside me either
    Striving to be a captain
    Hopin' I could date a cheerleader
    Tryna get me a throne of my own so I could put my feet up
    Thank God my kingdom was overthrown by the soul redeemer

    Yeah
    Anomaly
    Deviation from the common rule
    Something or
    Somebody that’s abnormal
    That doesn’t fit in
    I say that’s exactly what we are
    We are the odd
    The outcasts
    The peculiar
    The strangers
    And they say
    We don’t fit in
    But I say we are exactly
    Who God created us to be
    Anomalies
    The system didn't plan for this

    Anomaly Song Chart
  • According to the Songfacts dictionary, an anomaly is a "deviation or departure from the normal or common order, form, or rule." The concept of Lecrae 's Anomaly album describes how the Christian artist is a product of Hip-Hop, but by staying true to himself and following his own way, he deviates from the norm. He told MTV News "The title of the album has been a running thought in my head for a long time because I've always been a trans-cultural person."

    "My friends are from all from different walks of life, I can exist in conservative circles and liberal circles, I walk in the hip-hop, pop and Christian worlds — I can still be me and be embraced in all of those worlds and that makes me an Anomaly."
  • Anomaly debuted at #1 on the US albums chart, with 88,587 copies sold in its first week. It was Lecrae's first set to reach the peak position and also the first chart-topper for Lecrae's label, Reach Records.

    Anomaly also made history by becoming the first long player to debut at the top of the main albums chart and the Gospel Albums chart in the same week.
  • The song and album title came to Lecrae when when he was wrestling with what it means to be an outsider. He explained to Artist Direct : "It's almost like this intentionality in being an outsider. It's not like you're an outcast and you go, 'Oh well.' It's like, 'Listen, man. I'm actually going to embrace being an outcast and deviate from what's normal on purpose.'"

    "An outcast feels more like people pushed you out," Lecrae added. "It does happen, but Anomaly is more like, 'Whether they push me out or not, I'm going to be me. I'm going to be different. That's the way it's going to be.'"

    Welcome To America Lyrics


    Ladies and gentlemen
    Good afternoon from the flight deck
    Were cruising at 37,000 feet and we just passed over the coast
    We will be beginning our descent in about a 30 minutes
    Like to take this opportunity to welcome you to America
    Ta na na na muchawa
    Ta na na na muchawa
    Ta na na na muchawa ta na na na na

    Uh†¨ I was made in America land of the free, home of the brave
    Right up under your nose you might see a sex slave being traded
    And will do anything for the money
    Boy, a momma might sell her babies
    Sell porn sell pills anything to pay the bills
    Anything to bring that pay
    Gotta scratch that itch gotta scratch them ticks
    Ain’t rich but I might be
    And I'mma shoot these flicks I'mma turn these tricks anything for a slight fee
    Yea made in America
    Momma told me that I belong here
    Had to earn our stripes had to learn all rights had to fight for a home here
    But I wouldn't know a thing about that
    All I know is drugs and rap
    I probably could have been some kinda doctor
    Instead of holding guns and crack
    I was born in the mainland
    Great-grandpa from a strange land
    He was stripped away and given bricks to lay
    I guess you could say he a slave hand
    But I was made in America
    So I don’t know a thing about that
    All I know is uncle Sam look-in for me working on his corner so I know I gotta pay tax
    Gettin' paid in America
    I was raised in America
    And this is all I ever known
    If I’m wrong then you better come save me America

    Ta na na na muchawa muchawa
    Ta na na na muchawa muchawa
    Ta na na na muchawa muchawa
    Ta na na na muchawa muchawa
    Welcome To America
    Welcome to America
    Welcome to America
    Welcome to America
    Welcome to America

    Man I’d die for America
    I serve my time for America
    Got shot shot back with the war
    Got back and ain’t nobody give a jack in America
    I could lost my life boy I lost my wife
    I can’t even get right in my home land
    Pulling sweats hold ticks paranoia
    Looking out for a threat in own land
    I was trained in America
    How they get up in the planes in America
    People running into buildings
    Taking out them buildings
    People getting killed in America
    And I’m still in America
    Though America ain’t feeling me
    I went to war for this country
    Turn around came home and you rid of me
    When y’all free here saying you don’t wanna be here
    Well you probably couldn't breathe here if I didn’t load a couple magazines here
    Y’all just complain in America
    I’m jumping out of military planes for America
    Aye I was made in America
    That's why I’m out here saving America
    I got a brother in the cemetery now
    Cause he wanted y’all safe
    And everybody want the freedom but nobody want to hear about-face
    We bled for America
    To keep y’all fed in America
    But whats the point of talking a lot of y’all don’t really even care America

    Ta na na na muchawa muchawa ta na na na
    Ta na na na muchawa muchawa ta na na na
    Welcome to America
    Welcome to America
    Welcome to America
    Welcome to America
    Welcome to America
    Ta na na na muchawa
    Ta na na na muchawa
    Ta na na na muchawa ta na na na na

    Uh, I wish I lived in America
    Wanna raise my kids in America
    Heard everybody rich all I gotta do is run jump kick
    I'm a hit in your area
    So please pick me America
    I know you probably never loved me
    You never hear about me on the news
    And you’ve probably never been to my country
    I hear you selling education and got clothes that you throw away
    Got plenty food in your nation
    I can tell cause a lot of y’all are over weight
    I already work for y’all
    I’m at a sweatshops making these shirts for y’all
    Naw I ain’t gettin money
    Go to bed hungry but I make some exports for y’all
    Y’all don’t know a thing about that
    You was made in America
    I’m trying to find me a ticket
    Where the sky is the limit catch a plane to America
    It should be plain to America
    Y’all blessed people got it made
    Heard y’all don’t play no more
    Y’all ain’t saved no more
    Y’all looking for another way
    Well I hope it ain’t true
    But I’m packing my suit
    Farewell to my mother land
    Sayin bye to my loved ones
    Fate hear I come I’m gone to another land
    I done made it to America
    I’m amazed at America
    But I couldn’t get approval to stay so they sent me away from America

    Welcome To America Song Chart
  • Lecrae uses three different characters on this cut to remind us that everyone has a different story to tell. "'Welcome to America' is a special song because I think everyone has a unique perspective on America," he explained to MTV News. "I wrote the song from three different perspectives, so there's three different people who have different perspectives of what America is."

    "You've got a guy who's from one community, another guy from a completely different community and then you've got a person who's not from America and [it's] their perspective on what America is," he continued. "Everyone sees it differently, through different lenses, and it makes us stake a step back and look at ourselves."

    Say I Won't Lyrics


    Say I Won't (why y'all scared to be different?)
    Say I won't (why y'all scared to be different?)
    Say I won't (we them outsiders, that's just how we live it)
    Say I won't (and I bet I will)
    Say I won't
    I might do it just to show you
    I might do it just to show you
    I might do it just to show you
    We be like la, la, la, la

    From the same city as the B-I-G
    Wanna serve these bars, gotta see ID
    Now I'm on their radar, where it beat I be
    Was a slave for the cars, then we got free
    Used to only wanna pull up in a black sport
    Just a white man excelling in a black sport
    Now I'm really doin' pull ups
    Got a honeymoon for the summer tryna get a six-pack for it
    Say I won't catch 'Crae slippin' in the studio at like 3 AM
    Autograph that forehead with a Sharpie pen and then Instagram
    Might swag out a fanny pack
    I might bring Velour back
    Nobody wanna change the game, man y'all just want more trap
    Okay, say I won't rap over bagpipes
    Say I won't talk about that price
    To know Christ and live life like every night my last night
    'Bout to switch up the program
    I rock name-brand, I rock no brand
    My whole life GoPro cam, got rap like I had no fans, nope
    They say, I know I say, "veto"
    Danny DaVito, and Al Pacino, those are my people
    Also I'm rockin' the speedo
    This that casino, you bet your revenue
    Thinking you'll stop me, no never not letting you
    You must be high on that medical thinking I won't
    But I know better, know that I bet I do (kill 'em, ooh)

    Say I won't (why y'all scared to be different?)
    Say I won't (why y'all scared to be different?)
    Say I won't (we them outsiders, that's just how we live it)
    Say I won't (and I bet I will)
    Say I won't
    I might do it just to show you
    I might do it just to show you
    I might do it just to show you
    We be like la, la, la, la

    Say I won't sell my shoes and take my kids to Chuck E Cheese with the money
    Say I won't bring my own bottle of Pellegrino to the movies with me
    Say I won't
    Look, I'm from an era of fast living and mass terror
    Boys cover them cover girls like mascara
    I don't need to keep a gun and a mask ever
    I still make 'em put their hands up, ask Derek
    My role manager damage all of you amateurs
    Sneaking up on a tour bus with a demo to hand to us
    When I was younger, I just wanted a chain
    Now a chain of events has afforded a change
    See, I been a rebel since back in the day, I don't follow the people
    I follow the leader through valleys and shadows of death and I fearin' no evil
    So say I won't do it, say I won't turn the music up and get to it
    Won't come down H-Town all the way to their town
    In the old school, drop top Buick
    And I'm getting, maybe 8 or 9 miles to the gallon
    Still feeling like a stallion
    I got Andy ridin' shotgun with 30 gold chains on, talking about he Italian
    Say I won't go drop a double album, and rap double time on all dub-step
    Got no producers, just me rockin' over beatboxin' by Dougie Fresh
    Say I won't

    Say I won't (why y'all scared to be different?)
    Say I won't (why y'all scared to be different?)
    Say I won't (we them outsiders, that's just how we live it)
    Say I won't (and I bet I will)
    Say I won't
    I might do it just to show you
    I might do it just to show you
    I might do it just to show you
    We be like la, la, la, la

  • Lecrae explained the message behind this ode to being different in an interview with Artist Direct : "I think a lot of times entertainers try to carry themselves in this impenetrable picture of perfection," he said. "I'm going to break the status quo. Say I won't. I don't care."

    "I'm a dad. I don't mind being a dad, 'Look at all of these shoes I've got. I've got an incredible shoe collection. I'll sell them all and take my kids to Chuck E. Cheese. I don't care. It's not that serious. Let's enjoy life,'" Lecrae added "That's what it's about."
  • The song features Lecrae's labelmate Andy Mineo. The New York rapper previously provided sung vocals on the Lecrae song "Background" and also contributed towards "Power Trip."
  • The song's music clip features younger versions of Lecrae and Andy Mineo juxtaposed with their current selves. "The video is fun, it's a throwback and an ode to when hip-hop was fun," Lecrae told MTV News. "A throwback to when I didn't have to pop a molly to have a good time, when dudes could smile and dance."
  • The video was premièred during halftime of the December 16, 2014 Brooklyn Nets vs. Miami Heat game at the Barclays Center. "Who else can say they did that? I like the innovation of it," Lecae said.

    Good, Bad, Ugly Lyrics


    Come on everybody sit down
    People wanna act like they are in the know
    Well I'm here to wipe off your smile
    And tell you what's the word around town
    I know you don't wanna hear the truth
    I know you hate the fact that I actually have the proof
    But I just need you to believe
    I'm talking the good, the bad, the ugly

    Remember back in '02
    When I was in school and actin' a fool
    My soul got saved
    My debt had been paid
    But still I kept running off with my crew
    Sex on my brain and death in my veins
    Had a main thang we stayed up til 2
    Smokin'
    Waking and bakin' we naked
    My body was lovin' it
    Soul was hatin' it
    Time and time after time
    Our bodies grew close the girl was so fine
    Heard a heart beat that wasn't hers or mine
    The miracle of life had started inside
    My God
    Ignored the warning signs
    Supressed that truth I felt inside
    I was just havin' fun with this
    I'm too young for this
    I'm thinkin' me myself and I
    Should I sacrifice this life
    To keep my vanity and live nice
    And she love and trust me so much
    That whatever I say she'll probably oblige
    But I was too selfish with my time
    Scared my dreams were not gone serve
    So I dropped her off at that clinic
    That day a part of us died

    Come on everybody sit down
    People wanna act like they are in the know
    Well I'm here to wipe off your smile
    And tell you what's the word around town
    I know you don't wanna hear the truth
    I know you hate the fact that I actually have the proof
    But I just need you to believe
    I'm talking the good, the bad, the ugly

    I remember back in the day
    I was barely in the first grade
    Got teeth mission'
    Watchin' Tom & Jerry
    Tryna go outside so I can play
    I was told to watch out for strangers
    Keep my eyes peeled for danger
    Folks workin' late I had a baby sitter
    I ain't 'bout to sit here and name her
    I was almost 8 when she came in late
    Woke me up with a game to play
    Did a few things that's hard to say
    And told me to keep that secret safe
    Now how a young boy supposed to deal
    I'm tryna act like it ain't real
    Had my innocence just stripped from me
    And I still don't know how to feel
    And I wonder how to address it
    Can't tell my family too messy
    So I just embrace it it's hard to face it
    I'm too ashamed to confess it
    So I kept it in and ain't speak
    Didn't think it hit me so deep
    So into it I got promiscuous
    And only God could help me get free
    But I been forgiven
    My Savior risen
    I'm out the prison
    I know that
    I got the power to say to no to all of my struggles
    God will control that
    Every time we slip and we fall
    Gotta get back up and fight on
    We are not defined by our past
    The future look bright
    I see the light on

    Come on everybody sit down
    People wanna act like they are in the know
    Well I'm here to wipe off your smile
    And tell you what's the word around town
    I know you don't wanna hear the truth
    I know you hate the fact that I actually have the proof
    But I just need you to believe
    I'm talking the good, the bad, the ugly

    Good, Bad, Ugly Song Chart
  • This stark electronic track finds Lecrae meditating on two life changing events when he was growing up. In the first verse he recalls the abortion of a child he had with his college girlfriend in 2002 and the second one finds him remembering being molested by his female baby sitter when he was "barely in the first grade."
  • This is the most personal song that Lecrae has recorded to date. "If I didn't confront the issues on this song head on I would live a guilty, condemned, and shameful life," said the rapper. "All of that is contrary to what I believe about myself. We all have skeletons in our closets. We all have things in our past we will either bury or confront. No one expected me to experience, deal with, or tell the world about these experiences, but I'm healed. So, I wrote this song for the healing of others."
  • Lecrae recalled the abortion episode and his selfish attitude at the time during a discussion with theologian John Piper and John Ensor, the president of Passion Life Ministries. "I was a young man trying to figure out what I was going to do with life," he said. "I hadn't finished school. I had met the Lord, but I was still trying to get my footing in terms of walking with Jesus. There was so much that happened. Literally, in the middle of that relationship, I was feeling the conviction. I felt like God was giving me opportunities to escape. We were doing drugs and engaged in sexual activity consistently."

    "At the time, I believed an urban myth that if you consume enough drugs you would become sterile. I thought we would never get pregnant. I remember we were both working at a call center, and we went out for our smoke break one day, and she hesitated to smoke the cigarette. And that is when she informed me that she was pregnant."

    The abortion clinic was around the corner from the girl's house and Lecrae saw the termination as an easy escape from the responsibilities of fatherhood. "After the abortion, I really pretty much shut it out of my mind, literally to the point - it is shameful - I ignored all her calls," he confessed. "I quit dealing with her altogether."

    "The last time I saw her I remember she was curled up on a bed crying, and I pushed all of it out of my mind," Lecrae continued. "And what I kept were pictures of her, as a memorial in some senses." (Source of quote Desiring God )
