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
