So then my gun was down, sleeping with the enemy
The streets are dangerous, I could be dead any day
That's why I'm riding with my dogs, smoking plenty hay
The lyrics to Juicy J feat. Pooh Shiesty's song TELL EM NO talk about the dangers of having fake friends and people who secretly hate on you. The artists emphasize the importance of cutting off negative influences from your life and staying true to yourself by not being afraid to say "no" to people who don't have your best interests at heart. The phrase "keep the grass cut and snakes will show" serves as a metaphor, meaning that by keeping your surroundings clean and tidy, you can easily spot any "snakes" in your life who may be trying to bring you down.
The lyrics also touch on themes of loyalty, trust, and betrayal. Juicy J and Pooh Shiesty describe their past experiences with people who they thought were friends but turned out to be fake. They have learned from their mistakes and now stand by a code of honesty and authenticity. They don't want to surround themselves with people who are only there for their money and success but want true and meaningful connections with people they can trust.
Overall, the message of the song is to stay vigilant and true to yourself. Don't let anyone bring you down or take advantage of you. Keep your grass cut, and the snakes will show themselves.
Keep the grass cut and snakes will show
If you continuously monitor and maintain your surroundings, you'll be able to spot the deceivers and backstabbers in your circle.
Think a nigg* solid, but he hating on the low
Just because someone seems loyal and trustworthy, they might secretly harbor negative feelings towards you.
Wanna know who really real? Start telling nigg*s, "No"
If you assert yourself and say "no" to people, you'll quickly discover who actually respects your boundaries and who only wanted something from you.
Had your shots up in my mag', sent a whole hundred 'fore I go
I preemptively took action to protect myself and my crew by firing weapons at my enemies.
Can't no nigg* never trick me, like I did a nigg* before
I've been taken advantage of in the past, but I won't let it happen again. I'm too wise for that now.
It's a six up in this cup (six), I might not finish 'fore I doze
I have six pills in my drink, and it might knock me out before I even have a chance to finish it.
Ain't no social media, AUG, go everywhere that I go
I don't rely on social media to communicate or build my reputation. Instead, I prefer to make connections in real life and have my presence felt wherever I go.
Pooh Shiesty turned Juicy J, this a legend and a young G.O.A.T.
I consider myself both a pioneer and a newcomer to the rap game, and I'm proud to collaborate with an up-and-coming artist like Pooh Shiesty.
Whole lot of nigg*s, I was treating like my brothers
I used to have a lot of people in my life who I considered family, but I realized they weren't actually loyal to me.
Yeah, came in the game and these bitches couldn't handle me
When I first emerged onto the rap scene, I was so talented and innovative that other artists and fans were intimidated by my skills.
If there's a reason, I can see it from a mile away
Because I'm experienced and street-smart, I'm able to detect potential threats or danger before it even becomes a problem.
That's why I'm riding with my dogs, smoking plenty hay
In order to stay safe and comfortable, I surround myself with loyal friends and colleagues who I trust.
