System Lyrics – Masicka

System Lyrics Meaning

[Intro]
In this part, he’s basically saying he already knows how his enemies move because he has seen it all before. They can’t handle pressure, and when things get heated, they try teaming up to bring him down. He talks about being ready for any attack, showing he’s fully trained and prepared for whatever comes his way. The mention of heavy weapons and different communities supporting him shows that he has strong backing and isn’t afraid of confrontation. He aims straight for the top, not for small targets, and warns that those who underestimated him should have known better because he’s not someone to play with.

[Verse 1]
Here, he starts by dismissing the corrupt system around him and the fake people who benefit from it. He points out how some artists and people in the industry love attention, jewelry, and hype, but can’t stand on their own without depending on others. He sees himself as someone aiming for leadership, not settling for less, and he isn’t afraid to take risks in the streets or in music. He stays alert, loaded, and ready because there are people who want to see him disappear. When a respected figure asks him for a song, he performs confidently, never pretending or lip-syncing, and he always pushes the idea that his people should survive no matter what. His crew and collaborators are solid, and he calls out someone who acted tough but ended up being a victim, escaping quickly when trouble came.

He comments on how jealousy and bad-minded behavior fuel a lot of the negativity around him. Because he knows how these people think, he always stays prepared and armed. He also talks about corruption affecting big groups and movements, comparing them to a sinking ship. As a ghetto youth, he carries himself with confidence and pride, not getting involved in fake habits or bleaching his skin for image. He doesn’t follow trends or pretend to fit in, which makes some people want to sabotage him by trying to “shut down his engine,” meaning slow down his progress.

He notices that snakes—two-faced people—try to reason with him, sounding convincing, but he knows better because he’s used to danger and real street life. At shows, he feels the vibe from the crowd and also sees that some people don’t want him to succeed. Many young people have been lost in the struggle, but he encourages those still standing to push back against unfair systems. The repeated chant about fighting the system shows unity and resistance.

He then talks about someone calling themselves king yet still complaining about everything. He reminds them that legendary artists like Shaggy and Sean Paul made millions and carried dancehall worldwide, proving real success comes from hard work, not titles. He questions why established artists shouldn’t travel and chase opportunities. He sees the bigger picture and explains that just because he’s quiet, people think he’s weak or tame, but he’s far from that. He stays aware because even friends can turn into enemies, so he watches carefully and stays ready.

[Chorus]
This part is all about pushing back against oppression and corruption. It encourages people to stand up, stay strong, and not let the system break them or control their lives.

[Verse 2]
In this section, he boldly says that none of his rivals control dancehall, even though they act like they do. He calls them out for being the same people who secretly cry on the phone when they’re under pressure. He says whenever he drops new music, it shakes up the whole scene and affects big camps like Gaza. He wonders where the loyal youths who used to stand strong in the daytime are now, the ones who used to be active and visible. While he was away in Atlanta, they abandoned someone close to him back home, showing their disloyalty.

He makes it clear he has always been a real youth, never fake, and the younger ones who supported Gaza with style and energy deserve better. He demands his money because he doesn’t work for free, and he values his craft. People talk about wanting others to live peacefully, but he says it’s a good thing he’s tough, or he could’ve ended up dead. He never begged for a feature or a song from anyone because his team works hard independently. He explains that he gave support to others when they were alone and struggling, showing that loyalty matters to him even when it isn’t returned.

[Chorus]
This part again pushes the message of standing up for yourself, resisting unfair treatment, and not letting any corrupt system decide your future or limit your progress.
