Song Meaning of “Let ‘Em Burn” by Freddie Gibbs
Let ‘Em Burn is an empowering hip-hop anthem about standing your ground, staying true to yourself and prevailing despite adversity. Gibbs uses his gruff yet captivating flow to address his critics and those who have tried to put him down throughout his career. He raps about getting revenge by not only succeeding but outshining those who have attempted to bring him down: “My time is now, so listen while I wreck this place. You can throw your stones, my skin is thick. No looking back, I’m just getting started.” By ‘burning’ his opponents, Gibbs makes a powerful statement about the importance of staying true to oneself despite the odds and the power of persistence and resilience. He encourages his listeners to enjoy their journey, even in the midst of challenges and opposition: “Feelin’ blessed that I’m still here, learned a lot over the years. On the high road, so just let ‘em burn.” Let ‘Em Burn is a testament to the strength of one’s spirit and the resilience of the human spirit.
