Wat U Mean (Family To Feed) Lyrics
Racks in me like a piñata
Fuck you, blue Balenciagas
Robin Jeans with the Foamposites
Hit the club, now my black bottles
Bloods wit me woo woo woo
No set trippin', they know I'm crippin', fool
Jesus piece a 10k gold
I'm a fuckin' fool, you better act cool
German Shepherds in my backyard
Trained to kill, I was born to deal
I was on the hill, R.I.P Tijuana, rest in peace Clifford Deal
My daddy back out, you done fucked up
Hit the Magic City, pack it out
You hatin' on me, I don't give a fuck
I'm a street nigga, you can walk it out
I'm in Pittsburgh with a lot of hoes
Young nigga with a bankroll
Scrape the pot, I was in the hood
My mama stayed on Glenwood
17 with a 38
Don't fuck around and make me 38
24 hours I was tryna get it
I wasn't waitin' on First 48
[Hook]
Ayy, ayy, ayy, ayy
Ayy, ayy, ayy, ayy
Hey, hey, hey, hey
Ayy, ayy, ayy, ayy
Got a family to feed, got a family to feed
They dependin' on me, they dependin' on me
If you don't believe in me
I'm like fuck ya, I'm like fuck ya
Fuck ya
Thought you believed in me
I thought you had them racks, but you got evicted
Heard you had it on you, you penny pinchin'
'Til I pulled up to get it, to get it, get it
Racks on me like a muhhfucka
(Racks on me, got them racks on me)
I was just broke like a muhhfucka
(I was down bad I ain't had shit)
Racks on me like "WOWWW!"
(Racks on me got, them racks on me)
Fuck niggas like "HOWWW?"
(Fuck niggas like "how?")
How he do that?
Jumped off the porch, I was on the go
Mama couldn't tell me shit, I was trappin' in the fo'
Could you take the pain away?
I gotta make a way a way, way
For my family, yeah
[Hook]
Ayy, ayy, ayy, ayy
Ayy, ayy, ayy, ayy
Hey, hey, hey, hey
Ayy, ayy, ayy, ayy
Got a family to feed, got a family to feed
They dependin' on me, they dependin' on me
If you don't believe in me
I'm like fuck ya, I'm like fuck ya
Fuck ya
About
On “Wat U Mean,” Dae Dae raps about doing whatever it takes to make ends meet. It’s the breakout single for the Atlanta rapper, who’s now signed to hip-hop powerhouse 300 Entertainment. He wrote the while he was working in concrete and flooring, trying to support his family. He explained the process in an interview with We Out Here Magazine:
I had this big grinder and so the grinder be loud you know, and I’d have my earphones in. Sometimes I listen to music, sometimes I listen to instrumentals.
This particular day, I was freestyling in my head. So I was just freestyling and I just happened to think of two hard bars. So I cut the machine off and I pulled my iPhone out and I wrote them two down. I put the machine back on and start grinding, and then I came up with two more.
So I cut the machine back off and I wrote them two, and I just got to a point where I’m like you know what, I’ll just call my producer.
Working with Young Mercy, he recorded the song that night, rapping over beats the producer composed on the fly. The song became a regional hit in 2015 and went national in 2016, when Young Dro jumped on a remix. There was also this viral video, featuring a fleet-footed Uber drive:

I was working a concreting job, while I was working I came up with the first two bars.
At the time I was on the job, and I just stopped and wrote those two bars in my phone. Then I came up with the next two. By the time I came up with “Bloods wit me” I had to call my producer.
At the beginning we tried to do the first few bars as a capella, but the vocals weren’t good enough to just be plain like that, so that’s when he put that sound that you hear in the beginning in there.
It’s just one of those feelings. The first verse tells you what I want, tells you what I’m doing. The second verse just telling you how it feels.
The second verse is running off of feelings. When I perform that second verse, it’s a different performance when I get to the second verse.
