Sneeze Wrong Lyrics – Tory Lanez

Sneeze Wrong Lyrics Meaning

[Verse 1]
This verse dives into the brutal reality of street life and prison culture, where violence is a way of life, and survival depends on power and respect. The first few lines talk about someone who made a mistake and paid the ultimate price—his life. He was given an hour to make his last calls, including to his kids, showing the cold and transactional nature of street justice. Since he had a bounty on his head, people were competing to take him out, and his paperwork (criminal records or past actions) wasn’t clean, making others doubt his loyalty.

The next lines warn against hanging around dangerous people, as these individuals are always ready for violence as if it’s a volunteer mission. References to “solitaires” (isolation cells in prison) and grieving mothers highlight the cycle of violence and the deep pain it causes families. When a message (a “kite”) is sent, it means a hit or a fight is coming, and the person must be ready. The mention of a buried knife being used to break open a door suggests a desperate and brutal environment where violence is the only solution.

Then, the song shifts to personal struggles. His girlfriend has turned against him, cheating with his friends, and his seven-year-old son is asking when he will come home. But he doesn’t want to tell him because the truth is painful. He had to arrange for someone to be taken out before they got to him, showing the harsh decisions needed for survival.

As a respected figure in prison, he holds power and influence, meaning when something happens, he is the one people look to for action. He warns others that messing with him will have severe consequences, including retaliation beyond prison walls. The last part talks about how even in prison, people commit violent acts to provide for their families, like a man willing to kill just so he can buy diapers for his baby. He mentions a friend serving triple life, yet he acts like he has only five years left, showing resilience. The verse ends with a strong statement that he isn’t acting tough—his respect in prison is real, and he’s protected by dangerous people.

[Interlude]
This part describes a violent moment inside the prison showers. The guards (COs) haven’t returned yet, so the inmates know something bad is about to happen. When the guards come back, everyone is standing against the walls, bracing for the violence they expect. Then, a fight breaks out—one inmate viciously stabs another multiple times inside his cell. The speaker watches as it happens, realizing the victim doesn’t stand a chance. The phrase “it’s over” shows how quickly things escalate in prison and how death can come suddenly.

[Verse 2]
This verse explores how prison life hardens people. The mention of “Bob Barker tags” refers to cheap prison uniforms and hygiene products, emphasizing how prisoners are treated like products rather than people. Every day is filled with hostility, and stepping outside means facing constant threats. Violence is a routine part of life, with young inmates risking their lives over old grudges that don’t even concern them directly.

The next lines describe an impending attack—other inmates plan to rush his cell as soon as the doors unlock at midnight. But the guards won’t intervene because they are corrupt and let these fights happen. In this environment, arguing with the wrong person is always a losing battle. He also mentions that some inmates have questionable records, like child molesters (“chomo”), and if they are still alive, it’s only because they got lucky.

The verse continues with a warning that anyone caught causing unnecessary problems (“making it hot in the house”) will be dealt with. He values silence and loyalty, preferring to keep his circle tight. There’s a reference to hiding drügs in his mouth to avoid being caught in searches. He also talks about his crew being always ready for violence, meaning that enemies need to back down, or they will be taken out. The final lines compare him to a “big dog” dealing with weaker enemies and reference the horror movie *Saw*, implying that crossing him will have terrifying consequences. The message is clear—taking a life has a price, and payback is inevitable.

[Interlude]
The speaker states a key principle of survival: *Gabos*, which means “Game Ain’t Based on Sympathy.” In this world, kindness and emotions are weaknesses. If someone shows sympathy, they won’t last in prison or the streets. It’s a brutal reality where only the strong and ruthless survive.

[Outro]
The outro suggests an internal struggle. The speaker is on the verge of losing himself to the violent and harsh environment. He needs to find himself before it’s too late.
