“Don’t Mean Nothing” by Classik | Hip Hop Song Review
Music Review:
“Στο “Don’t Mean Nothing” ο Classik επενδύει σε μια αισθητική που φλερτάρει ανοιχτά με την υπερβολή — και κερδίζει. Τα πληθωρικά φωνητικά ξεσπούν με πάθος και ταπεραμέντο, επιβάλλοντας από την πρώτη στιγμή τον ρυθμό της διάθεσης,προσφέροντάς μας τη διασκέδαση απλόχερα. Η μελωδία κυλά με σπιρτάδα, απελευθερώνοντας το σώμα σε μια σχεδόν αυτόματη ανταπόκριση, σαν να υπακούει σε εσωτερικό κάλεσμα. Ο ρυθμός δεν συνοδεύει απλώς· οργανώνει μια ιδιωτική γιορτή, με ένταση και αυτοπεποίθηση που μετατρέπουν κάθε ακρόαση σε πράξη απόδρασης.”

Lyrics of Classik – Don’t Mean Nothing
Too late to apologize, we touched the sky
I don’t wanna get involved with you small fries
I been chilling with the goats grazing the fields
Many landmines but what I found was real
Used to care about perception, now I’m always myself
Used to care about a critic
Now it’s fuck how you felt
New year, new pain
The cycle is treacherous
Forgetting my genesis when colliding with the rain
Can you stop at a red light?
If your review mirror reflects death creeping in sight
I bet y’all slam the pedal full flight
Many cold nights gripping the mic
Spitting my woes
Anxiety ridden
Every concern stays tucked in my T-dot fitted
But this is for la raza
We keep on winning
Even though I’m doing better I ain’t one of y’all
I remember where I’m from
The mud never dissolves
How can ya’ll forget us?
Say what, say what
How can ya’ll forget us?
Even though I’m living comfortable now it don’t mean nothing
Cause’ I know what it feels to really mean nothing
How can ya’ll forget us?
Say what, say what
How can ya’ll forget us?
Even though I’m living comfortable now it don’t mean nothing
Cause’ I know what it feels to really mean nothing
I done see my mama cry
Seen my papa getting cuffed
I done seen corrupt cops satisfied getting rough
Easy target when I’m young but they’re memories now
They don’t see my people equally
Still I remain proud
Maybe it’s taboo
It’s like a fever dream stabbing me like a tattoo
Memories baked shaping my personality traits cursed
Even when the clouds dispersed and there’s the sun
I see mi gente nervous like it’s the first of the month
No catching breaks from these racist jakes
That’s why we dance
Why we joke
Why we drink
Spreading the love
I know they hate how we think
I remember Kid Frost in the boombox
While the fam sippin’ Johnnie Walker on the rocks
Old times make me new again repeating the cycle
To my family now
I understand it was all about survival
How can ya’ll forget us?
Say what, say what
How can ya’ll forget us?
Even though I’m living comfortable now it don’t mean nothing
Cause’ I know what it feels to really mean nothing
How can ya’ll forget us?
Say what, say what
How can ya’ll forget us?
Even though I’m living comfortable now it don’t mean nothing
Cause’ I know what it feels to really mean nothing
Yea
Nobody stopping us no
Know what it feels to really mean nothing
Nobody stopping us no
