TAN K Lyrics – MEMO ATR

TAN K Lyrics Meaning

[Intro]
This part is the artist bragging and calling out people who act tough online but fold in real life. He points at rival figures, says some are cowardly, and suggests others only got attention by attacking him. He’s also flexing about money and followers, saying it’s been a while since he saw big numbers and that others had to step on him to try to get noticed.

[Verso]
Here the rapper paints a raw picture of life on the streets and the violence that comes with it. He talks about groups he calls zombies who are starting shootings, while his crew claims to light up the city — meaning they plan attacks and want control. He threatens people they can find quickly, and says he won’t name everyone involved, but makes it clear he expects respect and obedience instead of talk. He refers to using heavy weapons and aiming at rivals, suggesting that when they catch someone the results are deadly. He brings up kids who used to hang out and now are dying because of the violence, and how hospitals won’t treat certain fighters because insurers or rules won’t cover them anymore. That shows how danger has become normal and how even help systems turn away from people tied to this life. He describes putting people in shock with weapons and how victims fall because of extended guns — the tone is cold and matter-of-fact, like survival is the priority. At the same time he hints at guilt or apology toward victims’ families but immediately brushes it off as the way things are. He talks about wearing a ski mask and not firing warning shots, and about being tired, disgusted with life, and sleeping with a clear weapon nearby so others can’t take him by surprise. If someone doesn’t run, they might lose their life, he says — that’s the blunt rule in his world. He asks for forgiveness from a higher power but also says he’s going on the road, mixing faith and action in a tense way. He brags about carrying a gun that leaves no trace, and claims enemies will be erased from others’ memories. He ridicules people who use drill music to talk tough, saying they don’t understand what real danger is and that he’s like a devil in person. He says he can go into enemy territory without backup and mess up their zone, describing people left dying while others can’t react. He taunts a named rival with insults, suggesting that person wasn’t the influencer they pretended to be and now runs away. He calls out fake online stars and questions who made them qualified to talk about shooting — basically accusing them of being posers. He stresses that nobody has ever laid hands on him because he’s unpredictable and ready. He boasts about heavy ammo and demanding payment like rent — a metaphor for taking what he wants — and warns listeners to watch for the doorbell because his crew is back. He says the rival fans are delusional, believing a fake story, while he prepares missions with multiple magazines to make sure enemies stay buried. The repeated threats, the swagger, the exhaustion, the mocking of fakers, and the loyalty to his crew all come across as survival rules mixed with bravado and brutal honesty about the cost of that life.

[Outro]
This short ending is a final flex: sudden gun sounds, a spooky corner vibe, a nickname that makes him seem alien or otherworldly, nervous laughter, and a strong exclamation — a quick sign-off that the threat and presence remain.
