Not The Mayor Lyrics – Destroy Lonely

Not The Mayor Lyrics Meaning

[Intro]
Hyped up energy, setting the mood.

[Chorus]
He’s starting off with a line that sounds smart—save money and it’ll save you—but then flips it by saying screw that, he’s spending big right now. He talks about a fast hookup and how wild it got, even messing up the girl’s hair. He says his product (which could mean drügs or style) is top-notch and not for sale. He’s flying private, living large like he’s mailing in luxury. He’s got weight—literally, probably talking about drügs—and takes risks while others play scared. He doesn’t care about fairness or rules. His vibe is icy, clean, expensive—like Chanel. He sneaks into things, counts cash smoothly like cooking dope. He’s not just a leader, he’s above that, calling himself the Top Floor Boss. And of course, he’s surrounded by designer things and pretty women.

[Verse]
He’s making it clear that people don’t have to like him—he’s still getting money either way. Whether you support him or not, he’s going to succeed and enjoy life. He’s confident, flashy, and tells girls to treat him like a star. When he says “wax it on and wax it off,” he’s showing how smooth he moves through life, referencing *The Karate Kid*. He’s aware he ticks people off just by being himself. He’s professional in how he handles his business, but that doesn’t mean he plays nice. He likes women with bold style and isn’t afraid of dark outcomes like Hell—he accepts that lifestyle. As a “down-side player,” he’s from a rough place but owns it. He walks around disrespecting the rules (ref) because he’s on a different level. Others are playing simple games, he’s outplaying them like chess. He casually smokes while crushing his enemies. He calls people out and challenges them to say what they mean with real confidence. He’s down for any beef if it comes. He knows his girl is attractive, and together they turn heads. He’s not holding back, even in tough economic times, and still stacks money. He believes he’s passed all of life’s tests so far. If someone wants trouble, he’s armed and ready. He bought a luxury item (the “box”) in Texas and feels like people don’t understand him. Spiritually, he feels the weight and thinks maybe he needs to talk to someone like a preacher. He’s been broke before and that taught him not to fold under pressure. He refuses to be weak or rely on others. Staying focused, staying selfish—because that’s how he survives.

[Chorus]
He repeats the same message with the same energy—there’s a contrast between the advice to save money and the reality of spending it loud and proud. He brags about his fast lifestyle, short hookups, and exclusive experiences like flying private. He’s got weight on him—again, maybe drügs, maybe cash—and he’s not afraid to take chances while others act scared. He’s cold with it, stylish, and rich, showing off luxury brands and a smooth attitude. He compares the purity of his lifestyle to top-shelf things like Chanel. He’s counting money like he’s cooking something up, always in control. Calling himself the Top Floor Boss, he places himself above average leaders. Designer goods surround him, and beautiful women complete the look—he’s living it up with no regrets.
