GASOLINE Lyrics – ODUMODUBLVCK

GASOLINE Lyrics Meaning

[Intro]
In the intro, the phrase “Oyinbo man” refers to a foreign person, likely a reference to a Western or outsider figure. The artist is requesting gasoline and fire, possibly symbolizing a desire for intensity or a powerful transformation. It sets the tone of urgency and fiery emotion for the song.

[Chorus]
In the chorus, the artist expresses that he feels “on fire” emotionally and mentally, seeking gasoline (a metaphor for fuel or energy) to amplify this fire. The mention of kerosene and his spinning head suggest feelings of being overwhelmed and stressed. To cool down, he turns to ganja (mar!juana) as a way to calm his mind. He also mentions taking shots and making sacrifices, implying he’s ready to face whatever challenges come his way, all while embracing his intense and chaotic energy. The chorus repeats the desire for this fiery transformation and stress relief, highlighting the constant tension the artist is experiencing.

[Verse 1]
In this verse, the artist reflects on the struggles and sacrifices he’s made in his journey. He mentions burning pages, symbolizing leaving behind past experiences or mistakes. The line “everything I did, I swear I did in God’s name” suggests that his actions, despite being criticized or misunderstood, were guided by his beliefs. He talks about sacrificing his material possessions, like Timberlands and Air Force Ones, to pursue his goal without a clear direction. The verse also addresses jealousy from others who tried to take advantage of him, and the artist’s defiance toward those who claim they helped him succeed. He critiques other rappers, calling them “whack” and not genuine in their art. He finishes by expressing his disdain for those who build false success, comparing their achievements to a flimsy house built on weak foundations.

[Chorus]
This chorus repeats the earlier sentiment of feeling overwhelmed and seeking release from the stress. The artist again asks for gasoline and kerosene to fuel his fire, while seeking ganja to calm his heated mind. The line about “taking ten shots” and using a “sharp dagger” may refer to battling or confronting those who oppose him, sending them “to the Lord” (possibly implying a spiritual reckoning or finality). The chorus highlights the artist’s ongoing internal and external battles, with fire symbolizing his intensity and desire for change.

[Verse 2]
In this verse, the artist acknowledges the negative talk and criticism around him but chooses to remain silent, signaling confidence in his own path. He compares hearing these criticisms to skipping through a bad album, suggesting he finds them unworthy of his attention. He emphasizes that his story is unique, with no duplicates, and that he’s focused on his craft. He talks about hitting the right notes and mastering his flow, symbolizing his skill and control over his music. He feels that others didn’t recognize his true talent, even though he’s been chosen for something greater. He uses metaphors like “blood bend” and “flow connectors” to describe his ability to adapt and dominate his art. The artist expresses that staying timeless in the music game is tough but that he’s determined to keep pushing for bigger achievements. He confidently states that others don’t understand how he does it, leaving them feeling “dumb” in their ignorance.

[Chorus]
The repetition of the chorus reaffirms the artist’s intense feelings of being overwhelmed and the need for external help to deal with his emotions. His desire for gasoline and fire continues, symbolizing a need for power and energy, while the reference to ganja suggests he uses substances to cope with stress. The line about “taking ten shots” reiterates his readiness to confront challenges head-on, with the imagery of using a “sharp dagger” pointing to a desire to fight back against his critics.

[Outro]
In the outro, the artist declares himself a “black sheep forever,” meaning he’s always going to stand out as different and unapologetic. He associates himself with a rebellious, outsider mentality (“Antiworld gangsters”). The mention of “GE records” and “ODUMODUBLVCK” refers to his music label and identity. He closes by stating that everything people have said about him is false (“falacy”), signaling his confidence and defiance toward his detractors, as well as his belief that his true worth will be recognized in time.
