Dnd Lyrics Meaning

[Intro]
Ab-Soul starts with a laid-back vibe, introducing the tone of the song with repetitive sounds and a casual flow, setting up the mood.

[Chorus]
In this part, Ab-Soul reflects on living a busy life, constantly receiving messages and calls, but choosing to stay distant by setting his phone to “Do Not Disturb” (DND). He feels overwhelmed by people, particularly women flaunting wealth (like with a Birkin bag), yet he sees through their materialistic behavior. He points out how some women only have these items because of connections with wealthy men (e.g., NBA players) and are forced to sign non-disclosure agreements (NDAs). The repeated phrase emphasizes how these women are doing too much and are superficial.

[Verse 1]
In this verse, Ab-Soul describes his reckless lifestyle—smoking weed and living fast, running red lights, and feeling untouchable, comparing himself to the character Tommy Buns from *The Wire*. He’s fully committed to his hustle and won’t let anyone mess with his money. He references his work ethic (constantly grinding, not sleeping), and makes a playful nod to the ’80s (with Eddie Murphy) while throwing in a cultural reference to Bathing Ape clothing, pointing out that even though things are flashy, he stays focused and authentic.

[Chorus]
This chorus mirrors the earlier one, reinforcing Ab-Soul’s feelings about the overwhelming attention he’s getting from women who are all about status and material things. He keeps his distance, opting for solitude by setting his phone on DND, tired of the superficial relationships that come with fame and wealth. Again, he points out that many women flaunting designer bags are only doing so because they’re connected to wealthy men and are bound by NDAs, not owning the money themselves.

[Verse 2]
In this short verse, Notorious N.I.Q. gives a shoutout to Lisa Wright, staying cool and collected. The mention of “diamonds shining” suggests a life of luxury, while “keeping it player” reflects an attitude of staying calm, collected, and in control of the situation—living a high-status lifestyle without getting too caught up in the chaos.

[fire?]
In this part, Ab-Soul talks about being focused, always on his grind (like ink sticking to paper), and not taking people or distractions seriously. He mentions his confidence, especially in women, with a playful but dismissive tone, implying that he’s not easily impressed by looks or status. He pushes the message of thinking big and chasing money, not getting caught up in small-minded thinking. He mentions natural beauty and highlights how he’s winning and staying on top, dominating his space with confidence and energy.

[Chorus]
This chorus reinforces the central theme of the song: Ab-Soul staying on “Do Not Disturb” mode while dealing with constant, superficial attention. He reiterates that despite the flashy possessions some women show off, like a Birkin bag, it’s not genuine because these women aren’t financially independent—they’re tied to wealthy men. It highlights the same frustrations from earlier but emphasizes how he’s not interested in participating in the game these women are playing.

[Outro]
In the outro, Ab-Soul reflects on life’s brevity and the importance of staying focused on one’s own path. He mentions how time quickly passes by, urging listeners not to forget to enjoy the small moments. His mom’s advice to stay in his “powers” reinforces his message of self-confidence and empowerment. Ab-Soul emphasizes how he’s learned to embrace his own strength and individuality, remaining grounded in his values despite the external pressures of fame and wealth.
