Digi Scale
Digi-Scale Chronicles: Youth, Struggles, and Street Wisdom
Lyrics
Hop in the streets I was only 12
Entered the streets at the age of 12.
Put my moms through hell
Caused distress or hardship for my mother.
Started off with a Digi-Scale
Started dealing drugs using a digital scale.
Told the fiends hit me on my cell
Instructed drug addicts to contact me via my phone.
I was texting them
Communicated with drug buyers via text messages.
And no I ain't nothing like the rest of them
I'm different from others in this context.
Niggas really be testing him
Other people consistently test my resolve or abilities.
You can get smacked down like we wrestling
Will confront or handle challenges aggressively, likened to wrestling.
Hop in the streets I was only 12
Same meaning as lines 1-8, reiterated.
Put my moms through hell
-Started off with a Digi-Scale
-Told the fiends hit me on my cell
-I was texting them
-And no I ain't nothing like the rest of them
-Niggas really be testing him
-You can get smacked down like we wrestling
-Said I got me a pack and just flipped it
Possessed and sold a drug package, profited from it.
Young nigga just blew him a ticket
Successfully earned a substantial amount of money.
And a nigga been jacking that L a dubb
Claiming authority or dominance without leaving any witnesses behind.
So you know I'm not leaving no witness
Intentionally avoided leaving anyone who could report a crime.
Pushing work you know I like fitness
Liked the feeling of dealing drugs, equating it to physical fitness.
Not too many options when you in the trenches
Options were limited while dealing with difficult situations.
Too big to be hopping fences
Physically too large to easily flee from trouble.
But I still had to to get it
Still managed to find a way to achieve my goals despite challenges.
But them niggas been doing the most
Others around me were engaging in excessive or unnecessary behavior.
Man them hammers I'm not gonna post
Weapons were present but not publicly displayed.
Don't be stupid get two in you coat
Warning against foolish actions, recommending concealing weapons.
Remember days I was taking niggas coats
Recalling a past when I used to steal from others.
And The Base is the best on the coast
Asserting superiority or dominance in the area or scene.
Just listen homie I could show you the ropes
Offering guidance or assistance to someone inexperienced.
And them niggas be saying they getting to it
Others claim to be successful, but it's likely false.
But they really be jokes
People claiming success are actually not serious.
Hop in the streets I was only 12
Repeated meaning of lines 1-17.

-12 Years old with a Digi-Scale
At 12 years old, engaged in drug-related activities using a digital scale.
I was saving up to buy a Pelle Pelle
Had money but spent it recklessly on a luxury item.
Young nigga moving reckless
Acted recklessly and regrets not saving money for bail.
Cause I should of saved up for bail
Realized the mistake of not saving money for legal expenses.
To no avail try to get these niggas out their shell
Attempted to change others' behavior but failed.
I had a feeling, somebody should of warned me
Had a sense of impending danger or betrayal.
But I knew he was gon' tell
Felt certain about someone's likelihood to inform authorities.
Fuck it
Expressed indifference or resignation to a situation.
See I had to focus on myself
Focused on self-improvement despite challenges.
My talents was wasted on a shelf
Talents were wasted due to lack of support or recognition.
Some friends watched they ain't help
Friends were present during difficulties but did not assist.
Robberies by myself
Committed robberies alone due to lack of assistance.
People was criticizing
Received criticism from people who took sides in conflicts.
They was picking side
Felt ignored or excluded by others.
Yeah that cold shoulder it was felt
Felt emotionally ignored or isolated by others.
Had to shit in niggas had to show
Took decisive actions to prove oneself despite hardships.
And prove for all the pain that I...
Worked hard to demonstrate resilience in the face of pain.
Hop in the streets I was only 12
Reiteration of lines 1-8 and their meanings.
