Ya'll do it for the light intertwined with lime
I do it cause on the mic ain't none of ya'll better
Top Dawg, y'all mice, taking all of ya'll cheddar
Am I right?
Fucking right, yeah
from Ab-Soul – Mayday Lyrics on Rap Genius
Meaning
Wordplay with “limelight”. As he’s constantly stated, other rappers are only doing it for the fame and fortune but his mission is much greater.
Also some wordplay on the label he’s signed to, Top Dawg Ent. He feels he’s a top dog in the game, and much like a real dog he’s bullying the weaker opposition (the mice) and taking their valuables (in this case, cheddar or money).
