Dá Professor Lyrics (English Translation) – Akapellah

Dá Professor (English Translation) Lyrics Meaning

[Verse 1]
In this verse, Akapellah is expressing his confidence and dominance. He describes a powerful force that’s about to crush his competition, using metaphors like “the gate that crushes you.” He compares his blunt to a Rasta’s, showing he’s calm but still rebellious. He’s tired of the game and ready to take control. No matter how strong or magical his opponents seem (even invoking mythical Shenlong or substances like ayahuasca), nothing will stop him. He’s determined to melt down his enemies—surprising them with his strength, like Hulk or King Kong, but more subtle. He emphasizes that he doesn’t need the latest technology (like Microsoft) to outsmart them; his microphone and skills alone are enough to take them down. He then advises to relax, clear the mind, and feel the beat—his flow is so powerful that it’s worth hitting repeat.

[Chorus]
In the chorus, Akapellah mocks those who challenge him, calling them out for their lack of skill. He mentions looking them up online and even playing their music for his friend James, only to get a bored reaction. He’s so confident in his own abilities that he compares himself to rare, expensive blue cheese, implying his value is high. His rhymes hit hard, leaving a lasting impact on anyone who hears them, as if slapping someone’s ego.

[Verse 2]
Akapellah taunts other artists who try to copy him or jump into genres they’re not suited for. He calls them out for being worn-out, comparing them to an outdated brand (Benetton) and a fictional character (Skeletor). He suggests that if these artists are willing to sell themselves for fame, they might as well “sell out” completely. Meanwhile, he and his team are focused on making real history with their music, not chasing fame for the wrong reasons.

[Interlude]
This brief section reinforces Akapellah’s position of power. He repeats that everyone obeys him because he is “the motherf*cking professor.” It’s a declaration of his superiority, signaling that he’s in control of the situation and that no one can challenge him without consequences.

[Verse 3]
In this longer verse, Akapellah addresses the downfall of fake, superficial people. He points out how these individuals’ lives are falling apart—losing their wealth, status, and relationships—because they’ve been living a lie. He criticizes them for not paying their bills or supporting their families while maintaining fake, glamorous lives on social media. Akapellah also highlights his own integrity and self-reliance, emphasizing that he’s never been involved in crime or shady dealings. He doesn’t need luxury items like expensive watches (Jacob or Patek); all he needs is his pen and paper to create his art. He’s unconcerned with money, fame, or status symbols because he knows he was born to be a legend. Akapellah notes how even those who exploit others will eventually collapse, just like a Jenga tower. He stresses the importance of avoiding what’s harmful and staying true to your path, because staying successful is much harder than getting there. Finally, he drops a line about basic principles (A-B-C, 1-2-3), implying that success isn’t complicated if you follow the right steps. The verse ends with him asserting that those who don’t get it should just stay silent and listen.
