Unorthodox Lyrics
[Verse 1: Wretch 32]
Yea, I got a good heart
I was born on beat that's a good start
I had a feeling I pushed past
And now I feel like I'm the reason I should last
And I move like my shit don't sink
But I'm all in a trance no hit no assist
This is all from the heart intro no script
I'm just about writing it down
So now I don't sleep man I miss those nights
I take planes like trains I don't miss no flights
I'm the type of guy that will have no life
Just so I can shine like this gold life
And that sounds sad but I'm happy
And the only plans to stay scatty
Yea unorthodox, I made the bar so I call the shots
[Chorus: Example]
We don't follow no crowd, they follow us
Don't follow no sound it follows us
Go sit in hell, look down that wishing well
Unorthodox, we call our own shots
[Verse 2: Wretch 32]
Yea I got a good vibe
I ain't trynna be bait with my hook lines
I had a feeling I could fly
Before I hopped on a plane or a new sky
Yea I'm a good guy
And if you heard otherwise it's a true lie
I'm hype I don't do shy
I bark up every tree and I do bite
Syke I'm only playing
We all got freedom of speech I'm only saying
I ain't got time for beef I'm on the way in
So the 8th day of the weeks my own lay in
And that's sounds said but I'm happy
But the only plans to stay scatty
Yea unorthodox, I made the bar so I take the shots
[Chorus:]
We don't follow no crowd, they follow us
Don't follow no sound it follows us
Go sit in hell look down that wishing well
Unorthodox we call our own shots
No one can hold us down again
No one will touch our crown again
No one can hold us down again
No one will touch our crown again
[Chorus: x2]
We don't follow no crowd, they follow us
Don't follow no sound it follows us
Go sit in hell, look down that wishing well
Unorthodox, we call our own shots
Meaning of Unorthodox
“Unorthodox” by Wretch 32 is a defiant anthem of self-determination fueled by a restless spirit and a rejection of conventional expectations. The core theme revolves around forging one’s own path, prioritizing personal freedom over societal pressures and the pursuit of an unconventional life. Musically, it's driven by a propulsive beat and Wretch 32’s assertive delivery, reflecting a man who’s deliberately chosen to operate outside established norms. Lyrically, he details a shift from seeking validation to embracing a chaotic, almost reckless existence – “I make the bar so I call the shots,” establishing control and rejecting passive acceptance. The repeated imagery of travel (“take planes like trains”) and a desire for constant movement highlights this refusal to be grounded or defined by routine.
The song’s emotional landscape is one of exuberant happiness juxtaposed with a subtle acknowledgement of potential isolation; he’s “happy” but deliberately “scatty,” suggesting an awareness that his choices might appear strange to others. Wretch 32 isn't simply boasting about success, but articulating the internal drive behind it – a powerful feeling that compels him to push boundaries and challenge limitations. The chorus, with its bold declaration of leading rather than following ("We don’t follow no crowd, they follow us"), solidifies this message. Ultimately, “Unorthodox” is a celebration of individuality and a potent reminder that true fulfillment often lies in daring to defy the established rules, creating your own destiny and refusing to be constrained by external pressures.
