99 Problems Lyrics Meaning

[Куплeт 1: tsb]
In the first verse, tsb is rejecting the idea of flashy wealth and fancy cars like a Porsche or Macan. He mentions women around him who are only there for superficial reasons, implying they’re fake and have no real substance. He contrasts himself with those who use drügs like “alfaker” and embrace an artificial lifestyle. He and his crew are more focused on survival, wanting to make money to afford better things, like a G-Wagen. Tsb points out how today’s rap scene is often about hype, while true rap should speak to the struggles of real life, specifically the “99 problems” they face, referring to personal and societal issues. The verse highlights the harsh realities of growing up tough and rising from nothing.

[Куплeт 2: opt]
In this second verse, opt portrays himself as a warrior with a strong, rebellious mindset. He compares his journey to that of a prince traveling from Babylon, suggesting he’s learned from hardship. He advises people not to take shortcuts in life, like accepting advances or handouts—emphasizing self-reliance. He mentions a cultural exchange with “fritz” (possibly referring to foreigners or enemies) but maintains a tough attitude toward anyone who isn’t genuine. There’s a rebellious spirit in his reference to “the spirit of the province,” a nod to a rough, working-class background. Opt also describes his tough, almost mythical image, blending danger and mystery with references to spiritual symbols like the Baphomet demon and a dragon skin. The verse speaks to the resilience needed to face constant struggles, with personal challenges and temptations like not wasting money or falling into bad habits.

[Куплeт 3: Metox]
Metox’s verse emphasizes the constant battle with problems, symbolized by the “99 problems” line, and he reflects on how his life has been shaped by the harsh realities of street life and the criminal justice system. He talks about writing his lyrics in jail, highlighting his resilience even in the toughest conditions. Metox mentions how he navigates the underground music scene with tsb and opt, suggesting they come from places like Volgograd and Nizhny Novgorod, and they represent the true, raw essence of rap. He also touches on his struggles with the law, police, and how the system constantly targets them. He speaks about facing expert censorship in the music industry, but still, the streets teach him lessons about survival. There’s an underlying theme of the difficulty of living in a system where you’re constantly fighting—whether it’s the police or societal pressures—and how they’ve learned to stay strong and wise through it all. The verse closes with a defiant tone, dismissing those who try to undermine them.
