Listen first

Mild alcohol reference, street themes, mortality undertones

Detailed Analysis

These lyrics focus primarily on themes of financial struggle, ambition, perseverance, and loyalty. The song discusses the pursuit of money and success in the music industry, family responsibility, and maintaining a positive mindset despite hardship. There is a reference to drinking Guinness (alcohol), some mild street-culture language ('skrilla', 'breddas'), and passing references to mortality and existential pressure ('toast to the death', 'sink or swim'). The line 'pumping product from this basement' could be interpreted as a subtle drug-dealing reference, though it is ambiguous and could equally refer to making music. There is no explicit profanity, no sexual content or innuendo, and no graphic violence. The overall message is broadly positive — hard work, patience, and family loyalty — but the mature themes around financial survival, street-life pressure, mortality, and the possible drug-dealing undertone make it more suitable for early teens and above rather than young children.

Lyrics

We call it Manila Rebel coming through with a skrilla (skrilla) No worries Nah, it's no worries (yes, yes, uh, check, I don't ever, I don't ever, check, uhm) Nah, no worries Ah, I don't ever worry 'bout my next step Ah, or ever even worry 'bout my next check Like it's the best bet, trying to protect neck Living in this hurry, only worry is my next breath 'Cause you can get left and ghost with the rest And end up most raise a toast to the death Like it's blessed But the second guess pokes through your chest 'Til you rest where your breddas left wishing you were next But the best don't fade Flicker where the flame blows Ah, the circle still be tighter than some canerows I feel the pain, never worry if the pain shows Maybe only reason I be feeling like I paint those images that fit Quick like the minute that you flip For your finish feel the ignorance and dip Still you slip For a minute blame the Guinness that you sip Little piss, missing ignorance and bliss No worries So don't worry I know it's all about the money But we ain't in a hurry Nah, it's no worries So don't worry I know it's all about the money But we ain't in a hurry, nah No worries It's no drama, nah, nada You falling out your tree, tryna be the top banana Even the apple of my eye turn green with envy When every jungle animal is on a feeding frenzy Fear loathing on this helter-skelter When all we really need is food, clothing and shelter Played the hand they dealt ya down 'til the last card You claim king but only jokers have the last laugh So when alarm bells ring we don't do a thing But sing, it's sink or swim and the tide is in Every night is a title bid You gotta float when you're the butterfly that they're tryna pimp And pack a sting for those buzzing 'round your honeybee But never sweating when it's coming to the currency The money been the root of evil since Genesis So I let the ink chase the paper when I'm penning this No worries So don't worry I know it's all about the money But we ain't in a hurry Nah, it's no worries So don't worry I know it's all about the money But we ain't in a hurry, nah Nah, we ain't in a hurry (no worries) We ain't in a rush but we steady pacing Chasing payments is a blatant but we're staying patient Pumping product from this basement trying to make a statement But ain't nothing changed when I check my statement Remain determined 'cause the work is being put in I'm aware of what I'm cooking and the people overlooking Mastering this recipe before we hand it out But still living hand to mouth Thought I had it figured out, what a setback That time is money that I'll never get back And yeah I get that but listen if that No time to dwell, 'cause only time will tell if it works Flipping verses, filling purses is a gift and a curse And so I, live for the better and I learn from the worst I'm burning earnings will curve And it's discerning at first Determine money for music is the plan I prefer To tell my mother I'm a man of my word It's no worries So don't worry I know it's all about the money But we ain't in a hurry Nah, it's no worries So don't worry I know it's all about the money But we ain't in a hurry, nah No worries Ah, we just made some money for our family Plan A worked out we didn't need no plan B Brothers upset saying they can't stand me Talk about the money that they hand me Reckon we were angry I'm sitting crisp With my jigga Chris Another freestyle I know you lot are feeling this Never hit and miss Sit another hit of this Thinking of the lyric I should finish with (blah)
