“Oh No!!!” is grandson’s second song from his third EP, a modern tragedy volume 3.
On Twitter, Jordan explained the meaning behind the song was about a man being unable to outrun his self destructive tendencies, as well as 2019 conditions that lead to his breakdown both personally and societally.

[Verse 1]
There's smoke in the sky again
So I’m gettin' high again
Take another hit to the diaphragm
I never drew the diagram
How to deal with this shit
So I steal and lie again, woah
You're my dream, you’re my nightmare
Life is a bitch, she don't fight fair
Leave you right there
I was hopin' that you'd notice my despair
Run away from the pain, I don't care, 'cause
[Pre-Chorus]
First they incite the violence
Turn around and then they invite the silence
Burn it down and I think I need some guidance
The kids don't stand a chance
No, the kids don't stand a chance
[Chorus]
Old man trouble back again
Fuckin’ up my plans, like oh no, oh no
I’m back to the black again
Gettin' fucked up again, oh no, oh no
Old man trouble back again
Thought I had the upper hand, oh no, oh no
I’m back to the black again
Gettin' fucked up again, oh no, oh no
[Verse 2]
This cycle is repetitive
Sex, rock 'n' roll, sedatives
Degenerates, need medicine
Spend money for the hell of it
I don’t give a fuck what they sellin' like I'm celibate, no
And I know I'm a piece of shit
Should've learned by now, peace
Need it quick or a piece of it
In school they ain't teachin' it
Each of us tryna find release
But it seems a bit slow
[Pre-Chorus]
First they incite the violence
Turn around and then they invite the silence
Burn it down, I think I need some guidance
The kids don't stand a chance
No, the kids don't stand a chance (Woo)
[Chorus]
Old man trouble back again
Fuckin' up my plans, like oh no, oh no
I'm back to the black again
Gettin' fucked up again, oh no, oh no
Old man trouble back again
Thought I had the upper hand, oh no, oh no
I'm back to the black again
Gettin' fucked up again, oh no, oh no
[Bridge]
Now I drink, smoke
Whatever you sellin', I'm a sick joke
My president's a felon, and I can't cope
I'm in love with the pain
So I stick, poke with my kinfolk
Gimme drink, smoke
Whatever you sellin', I'm a sick joke
My president's a felon, and I can't cope
I'm in love with the pain
We takin' on the system 'cause it broke, woo
[Drop]
(Oh no)
[Chorus]
Old man trouble back again
Fuckin' up my plans, like oh no, oh no
I'm back to the black again
Gettin' fucked up again, oh no, oh no
Old man trouble back again
Thought I had the upper hand, oh no, oh no
I'm back to the black again
Gettin' fucked up again, oh no, oh no
