Gorillas Lyrics Meaning

[Ooh, they know we coming with it…]
This part is all about making it clear they’re not playing around. They’re saying if someone wants a problem, they don’t have to look for it—it’s already coming their way. No need to keep talking tough online or trying to sound hard because they’re not impressed. They see through the fake stuff, and they’re calling out those who act bold but are really scared. The term “big gorillas” is them claiming their dominance—they’re the real deal in the game.

[Caught your rap killer, mike jack with the zipper…]
Here, they’re throwing in some swagger and confidence. That “Mike Jack with the zipper” line brings up Michael Jackson’s iconic style, but flipped in a gritty, aggressive way. The energy is like, “We’re ready to hunt, we don’t wait.” They’re coming full force, telling anyone trying to run or hide—it won’t help. You either get your shot now or miss it completely. They’re coming prepared, and there’s no escape.

[B!tch, I’m posted live in 3d no freebies…]
This section shows they’re standing out and doing things on their own terms. No handouts, no gimmicks. They’re saying they’re back and fully focused—no one can control them or hold them back. They’ve been doing this since the beginning and stayed consistent, unlike others who flip sides. They don’t care about back-and-forth drama; they’re here to take over and tell the truth. It’s not about fame, it’s about real growth, family, and legacy. They’ve been knocked down but always get up, and their mission is way bigger than internet likes.

[Parking on the internet, lying and talking s\*it…]
Here, they’re calling out people who act tough online but don’t back it up in real life. They’re saying they’re the real ones, the full package, not some social media act. They believe there’s a reason they’re still here, and it’s bigger than just fame—they feel they’ve got a purpose. They shout out someone important to them, likely a loved one who shaped who they are today, showing they don’t forget where they came from.

[Ooh, they know we coming with it…]
This repeated hook keeps the message strong—they’re not pretending. They bring heat every time, and everyone knows it. They won’t wait for others to act, they step up first. It also repeats that they’re tired of fake talk and hype—they know who’s real and who’s not.

[How come you don’t say s\*it when we come around?…]
Now they’re talking about how the loudest people online suddenly go quiet when faced in person. They compare themselves to silverback gorillas again—big, dominant, and impossible to ignore. They’re surrounded by dangerous people, and they’re not scared to say it. Their music, they say, is deep—it’s like a spiritual experience. It hits hard, and if it offends, well, that’s on you.

[Fu\*k a witness…]
In this part, they’re pushing back against fake loyalty. They don’t respect people who lie, chase clout, or act wild just for attention or money. They’ve seen people act desperate when they’re out of options. Even close friends can switch up just to gain followers. That’s why trust is rare.

[I been the same since bottom…]
This part gets personal. They’ve come from hard times—broken homes, pain, scars from real life. They’ve had their share of battles, physical and emotional, and they’re still standing. They don’t need praise or flowers; they’ve survived storms. They’ve always been a force, and their presence makes people take notice. That’s true power—not just words, but actions that change the game.

[Ooh, they know we coming with it…]
Again, they bring it back full circle. It’s like a chant—no matter how many times you hear it, it keeps hitting. They’re here, they’re serious, and they don’t wait around. They bring the fight, they call out the fake ones, and they’re proud of being the “big gorillas” in the scene.
