The Lyrics
Let’s dive into the lyrics to understand the meaning behind “Disrespect” by Sheff G & Sleepy Hallow:
(Sheff G – Hook)
All these haters
See em talkin’
And I ain’t see em do nothin’ yet
Stop the talkin’
Fuck discussions
Lemme see you do something else
All that talkin’
Music bluffin’
And I ain’t see em do nothin’ yet
Dare a nigga show disrespect (2x)
(Verse 1 “Sheff G”)
Only 2 3 shots out the tech
Tell em movin’ niggas really do this all my niggas silent watchin’ every step
See em dizzy boppin’ tryna dodge an opp, I just see em drop and bring the rest
I ain’t tryna make em upset
I’m just showin’ niggas who the best
Gang just showin’ niggas who the best
Tell me who the realest niggas left
Like give a nigga some respect for a bullet hole, tear a nigga chest
I could really do it to em, really prove it to em, please don’t get my haters vexed
Really really do it to em, steady movin’ on em, watch us flex it with the…fuck that
Free my niggas stuck in prison cells, all my niggas wildin’, watch us give em hell
Used to pack the bricks up like a wishing well
When they ask about me, tell me who is real
Niggas stop with the chat about who is frail
Mr. keeper with me and you know it’s real
See an opp, spot an opp, go in for the kill
Free my evil villain fresh to take a deals
He be home, watch me hit a mil
Heard them niggas lookin’ for me
You could ask me where I stay, I’ll let em know
Movin’ tough, they movin’ funny
Call my thirds and let it spray, I ain’t gotta blow
Free G Gill, he do it for me
I ain’t even gotta say it, he already know
Bar for bar, them haters bluffin’
We ain’t talkin’ for the feds, opps already know
I just be sick of the chattin’, ain’t no relaxin’, gun get to blastin’
Run up, we givin’ em damage, ain’t no compassion, we let em have it
I just be givin’ em heat
I just be flexin’, they hatin’ on me
I send the goons out to pree
Bando we catch em and so will we keep
(Sleepy Oz – Verse 2)
Gotta get it wit the gang, I ain’t wit the fake, I ain’t wit the bullshit
Now these bitches on my dick, niggas talk slick, you could get the full clip
How you niggas got opps never outside, niggas tellin’ lies
Free the gang, free the guys, you ain’t rockin’ wit us, then you better hide
And I been in my birk
Niggas all for the talk, don’t put in no work
Lotta niggas wanna act tough, 40 make a nigga back up
Everybody say they opps wanna tote a chop, better show respect
Everybody getting shot, so I’m on point, I never stress
I be high smokin’ doink, tryna kill my vibe, you gon’ meet death
No, you can’t walk with the gang, no, you can’t talk with the gang, they know that’s facts
We gon’ be changing the game, runnin’ to the money, still do it for the racks
Anybody want war
We ain’t playin’ where them goofy niggas get smacked
My niggas totin’ them thangs
Niggas watchin’ on me, so you know I can’t lack
Run up on em, he a stain, switchin’ lanes, see the gang gang in the back (2x)
Niggas talkin’ on my name
Tell em if he tough, he could pull up where I’m at
