Lyrics
(featuring Connor Price)
Verse 1: Torey D'Shaun
When I end my shift
And they go back and looking over the penmanship
Hope they caught my drift
Hope they saw that I was trying to defend this gift
It was all God timing
While they was riding around, I was rhyming
Was in the stu and had the 808s throbbing
Recording through sickness and health, I was wheezin'
But we be steady mobbin'
Chorus
What's a goon to a goblin?
What's a goat to a lion?
The Lion of Judah, you should've gave him the problem
The lamb and the bread, not the euro, not the dollar
Take a minute to pray, we in the last hour
I spit fire, now I'm a boss like Bowser
Don't put that on my jacket, I had to pop my collar
'Cause no one man should have all that power
Give him his credit, don't rob that man
Don't rob that man
Don't rob that man
Give him his credit, don't rob that man
Don't rob that man
Don't rob that man
Give him his credit, don't rob that man
Don't rob that man
Don't rob that man
Give him his credit, don't rob that man
Don't rob that man
Don't rob that man
Verse 2: Connor Price
Don't give me credit, but I never stress it
My Amex is platinum, it matches the plaques
Never let none of it get to my head
But it altered you boys like a Catholic mass
I really been on one
Got a cross in my corner like Tonga
They be cutting me off, I'm Mo Bamba
But they know I keep coming back stronger
Try to tell them that I'm hot-headed
Nobody rock with us 'til we got it going
Now they show up at a spot with us
Family eats off this, no stopping us
Speed keep rising, they won't go robbing us
Right? Well, the music industry and human dignity don't go together
Heard it all, I know you know the lecture
Ironic how we call it broken record
This is not a verse, it's an open letter
Harder than ever to keep my soul together
Hope I got it right when they close the ledger
And load the stretcher up
I see a lot of people doing it wrong
Is God using you or are you using God?
Chorus
Don't rob that man
Give him his credit, don't rob that man
Don't rob that man
Don't rob that man
Give him his credit, don't rob that man
Don't rob that man
Don't rob that man
Give him his credit, don't rob that man
Don't rob that man
Don't rob that man
Give him his credit, don't rob that man
Don't rob that man
Don't rob that man
Give him his credit, don't rob that man
Don't rob that man
Don't rob that man
Give him his credit, don't rob that man
Don't rob that man
Don't rob that man
Give him his credit, don't rob that man
Don't rob that man
Don't rob that man
Give him his credit, don't rob that man
Don't rob that man
Don't rob that man

Meaning & Inspiration
Do Not Rob That Man uses competitive rap language to redirect recognition away from human achievement and toward God. The central refrain insists that divine credit must not be claimed by the performer, while the first verse describes creative work as a gift received in God-given timing. References to the Lion of Judah, the Lamb, prayer, and the final hour place the boastful energy of the verses inside an explicitly Christian confession.
The second verse complicates the theme by examining success, status, and the pressures of the music industry. Its closing question asks whether service belongs to God or merely uses his name for personal advantage. That self-examination gives the repeated demand for credit a moral edge: public recognition matters less than faithful stewardship and an honest account before God. The song therefore combines wordplay and confidence with a warning against pride, treating talent and opportunity as gifts for which God deserves acknowledgment.
