My Shayla SPICE-RILLA Lyrics – Tory Lanez, DSTNY

My Shayla SPICE-RILLA Lyrics Meaning

Here’s a more detailed explanation of each section of the song:

[Intro]
Tory Lanez starts the song with a plea, showing his frustration and emotional struggle. He refers to the loss of someone dear to him, likely his child, and highlights the financial burden he faces, paying ,000 a month in child support. His desperate question, *”What more do you want from me?”*, suggests he feels unfairly treated and pushed beyond his limits. The repetition of *”My Shayla”* hints at his deep attachment to someone—possibly his child—whom he feels is being taken away from him. This intro sets the tone for the song, filled with pain, injustice, and a sense of being trapped in a situation he can’t control.

[Verse 1]
Tory opens this verse by addressing how people misunderstand him and the way he expresses himself. He references the harsh realities of street life, where influence and power determine who gets harmed and who stays protected. He acknowledges betrayal, particularly from women who side with his enemies for personal gain. He compares this situation to Robin Givens, an actress known for her controversial past, suggesting that some women in his life have plotted against him for money or revenge.

He then reflects on his downfall, admitting that many people were happy when he was sentenced to prison. He believes that deep down, people were glad to see him removed from the industry, seeing it as *”good riddance.”* Tory describes himself as just a man from the hood trying to attract the kind of women he likes. He mentions coming across a woman on Instagram, referring to her by her social media name “Delicious,” showing that he still has an eye for women despite being locked up.

He further explains that although he’s not a kingpin (a powerful crime boss), he still carries himself like one in prison, adapting to the tough environment. He acknowledges that his enemies are active, but he isn’t surprised by their actions anymore. Then, he brings up the absurdity of having restraining orders placed on him while in prison—an indication that legal actions are still being taken against him even while he’s behind bars.

Tory references a famous viral video where actor Tyrese Gibson emotionally cried out, *”What more do you want from me?”* when facing a custody battle. Tory compares this to his own situation, feeling like everything has been taken away from him. He mourns the fact that he has been separated from his seven-year-old son, feeling like it wasn’t enough punishment for those who wanted to see him suffer.

He recalls the moment he was sentenced, describing how his father stood on the courthouse steps and passionately spoke out. Instead of sympathy, people turned his father’s pain into a meme, mocking his reaction. However, Tory believes his father was speaking prophetic words, meaning everything his father warned about is now coming true. This part of the verse emphasizes his sense of injustice, betrayal, and the emotional toll of his situation.

[Interlude]
Tory laughs in a sarcastic, almost bitter way, acknowledging that what he just said is controversial. His *”I’m dirty for that one”* line suggests that he knows his words might stir up drama, but he doesn’t care. He’s simply speaking his truth.

[Verse 2]
Tory shifts the focus to the music industry, calling out Roc Nation, a powerful company owned by Jay-Z, for allegedly going after Milagro, a blogger who has been supporting him. He suggests that Roc Nation and others are trying to find ways to link him to controversies in order to damage his reputation further. He claims that if he were as petty as they are, he could counter-sue because he has evidence of wrongdoing against him.

He then mentions Meghann Cuniff, a journalist who has been covering his case. Tory accuses her of being paid to push a biased narrative against him, making it clear that he believes the media has played a role in his downfall. He also points out hypocrisy in the industry, noting how some celebrities are accused of serious crimes but aren’t judged the same way he was. He finds it ironic that when it was his case, people condemned him instantly, without waiting for actual proof.

Tory continues by saying that his own lawyer was secretly working against him during his trial, something he only realized once he was in prison. He describes the mental anguish of thinking about the legal manipulations that led to his conviction. He also accuses Randy Zepeda of tampering with his DNA evidence, implying that evidence was falsified to ensure his conviction.

Despite everything, Tory says he’s lucky to have people like Caesar, Mitch, and the group “United The People” fighting for his freedom. He wonders what his enemies had to sacrifice to get him “out of the way” and questions if ruining his career was really worth it. He sarcastically points out that some of his detractors are failing in their own careers, selling poorly performing albums.

He then addresses how he’s been portrayed as an obsessed stalker in the media, claiming that people have made up fake stories about him. He mocks the idea that he’s somehow harassing people from prison, as if he has time to create multiple fake Reddit accounts just to defend himself.

Tory concludes this verse by telling people to *”get over themselves,”* meaning they should stop obsessing over him and move on. He reminds everyone that people have real lives, families, and responsibilities to focus on, rather than fixating on his downfall. This verse is a strong defense against those he believes have wronged him, from the industry to the media to the justice system.

[Verse 3 (DSTNY)]
DSTNY provides a more reflective and spiritual response to all the negativity. He talks about staying focused on his goals, stacking money, and praying for better days. He acknowledges the struggles and betrayals around him but remains hopeful. He expresses that while many people have changed, his “little brodie” (likely referring to Tory or another close friend) has remained the same. This verse acts as a moment of resilience and perseverance in the face of adversity.

[Interlude]
This interlude references a viral video where someone aggressively claims they have time to fight that day. It symbolizes Tory’s mindset of being ready to defend himself, both legally and in life.

[Part 2: SPICE-RILLA]
[Verse 1]
Tory shifts to a more playful tone, talking about a woman who visits him in prison. She’s loyal to him despite everything and is even involved in illegal activities. Tory describes intimate moments during their visits, comparing her movements to a car with hydraulics. He jokes that if he hadn’t gone to prison, he might have never received an education, implying that prison has forced him to learn more about life.

Despite the prison guards watching, he continues his flirtation. He also states that once he’s free, he’ll take control of his life again. He then switches back to prison life, explaining how he and his friends make moves and handle conflicts inside. If someone has to be dealt with, his group will take care of it. This verse blends romance, humor, and the harsh reality of prison politics.

[Interlude]
Tory describes a classic prison confrontation. When the inmates go outside for yard time, tensions rise between him and an enemy. Both sides size each other up, bringing their allies, and eventually, the fight breaks out. This scene illustrates the violent and tense environment of prison life.

[Verse 2]
Tory reflects on how deeply betrayal affects him. He mentions having been caught up in violent conflicts, but prison has changed him. He humorously compares a woman’s attractiveness to famous female rappers like GloRilla and Ice Spice, showing his admiration for confident, bold women. He makes provocative and playful comments about relationships and s*xuality, showing that despite everything, he still has his swagger. He also hints at wanting to enjoy life fully once he’s out.

[Outro (Donald Trump Clip)]
The outro presents a defense of Tory Lanez, arguing that the media made him a symbol of harming Black women, but in reality, he protected two Black women that night—one from jail and one from getting shot. The statement suggests that Tory was unfairly demonized and deserves another chance.

This song is a mix of emotional pain, legal frustration, street wisdom, humor, and resilience. Tory reflects on his downfall, challenges the system, and asserts his determination to reclaim his life.
