Shark Lyrics – YoungBoy Never Broke Again

Shark Lyrics Meaning

[Intro]
In the opening lines, he sets the tone by showing off his confidence and lifestyle. He talks about carrying protection, having money, and being with a woman who’s doing well for herself too. He paints a picture of success, saying he’s surrounded by cash and luxury, and that when people are around him, there’s no need to feel down because everything is flashy and enjoyable. It’s like he’s creating an atmosphere of wealth and status.

[Chorus]
Here he’s admitting he once thought a woman was too good for him, but now he doesn’t hold back from spending freely and enjoying himself. He calls himself a shark, which shows he’s dangerous, strong, and can’t be played with. He also makes it clear not to mess with women he connects with, even at public events. He proudly says he’s overcome hardships and problems, showing his growth. At the same time, he stays cautious, riding with his weapon because of the dangerous environment he comes from. The experiences from the streets weigh on him, and instead of opening up about it, he keeps those struggles hidden. He warns that anyone talking recklessly will face real consequences.

[Verse 1]
He reflects on his life, saying money isn’t perfect and he sometimes uses medicine to cope with his reality. He remembers being sent to a group home and praying after losing his grandmother, showing how pain shaped him early on. He shares a violent story about not reaching one person and instead targeting someone close to them, which shows the intensity of his lifestyle. Pain has been constant for him since childhood, so he sees it as part of who he is. Even in court, he refuses to show weakness, holding his head high through trials. He doesn’t always take the spotlight, sometimes staying in the background. He shouts out names of people close to him, both alive and gone, like Eli and Jordan. He recalls carrying a gun while walking to school with a friend, showing how dangerous and survival-focused his early life on the north side was.

[Chorus]
Once again, he repeats the same thoughts to reinforce his message. He reminds us of his doubts about women, his habit of spending freely, and his shark-like nature. The shark image repeats because it’s central to how he sees himself—dominant and untouchable. He celebrates overcoming struggles while showing the need to stay alert and armed. The harsh things he’s seen on the streets weigh heavily, but he doesn’t want to openly speak on them. Instead, he lets actions speak, warning that disrespect or loose talk won’t be taken lightly, and there will always be consequences.

[Verse 2]
He turns his attention toward enemies and challenges. He warns that if someone talks too much, his people will handle it directly. If someone shows off or tries to block him, he’ll respond aggressively, and they’ll end up as another casualty. He admits he makes mistakes but still believes others can’t overpower him. He calls himself slimy, meaning tricky and ruthless, and says he’s always ready to strike. He describes the lifestyle of making moves, testing his luck again and again, and living with risk. Relationships with women are casual and physical, showing his detached approach. At the same time, he mixes this with drügs and drinking, which are part of his cycle. The way he talks shows he lives fast, never slowing down, and is constantly caught between danger, pleasure, and survival, with no plans of stopping.

[Chorus]
The final chorus brings back the same core points: doubts about relationships, showing off wealth, and embracing his shark identity. He stresses again how he’s grown through pain and how success came despite all the challenges. His guard is always up, and he rides armed because of what the streets have taught him. The harsh things he’s witnessed remain unspoken, but he warns that any disrespect will be met with action. It’s a cycle of pride, caution, and a reminder that he won’t be tested without consequences.
