Fears of a Coke Lord
Fears Unveiled: Echoes of Desperation in Andre Nickatina's Streets
Lyrics
In the blink of an eye
In a very short time
You know your tiga can die
Your close friend can be killed
I'm from the land of the 22, 44, 45
Referring to a place associated with guns (.22, .44, .45)
Riddles and lies is something we all despise
Deception and falsehoods are universally disliked
So we look up to sky for the answer to "why?"
Seeking answers from a higher power for the challenges in life
We was just little tigas when we first tried
Started engaging in risky behavior at a young age
You chose the d-game, and I chose the rhyme
Choosing different paths in life (one in drugs, the other in music)
Though our brains were the same man
Despite similar intelligence, their choices led to different outcomes
Our brains had to change man
Their thinking had to evolve to survive in their respective environments
Cause if it didn't change, we'd be stuck in the game
Stagnation in their mindset would lead to failure in their environment
Man the game
Reflection on the challenging nature of their environment
(I can't even have a family god)
Expressing frustration about the difficulty of having a stable family life
Fears of a coke lord driving my tigers insane
Fears related to a drug lord lifestyle affecting mental health
(These cats is coming after me god)
Feeling pursued by adversaries
Tryin to get paid off the ya-yo powder and caine
Attempts to profit from cocaine and heroin
(My woman's hella sheisty god)
Concerns about the untrustworthiness of a romantic partner
Fears of a coke lord driving my tigers insane
Reiteration of fears regarding a drug lord lifestyle
(I wanna do better god)
Expressing a desire for positive change
But check it, I feel your pain
Sympathizing with someone experiencing difficulties
It was 7-4, I mean July the 4th
Referring to a specific date, July 4th
I was going on tour and you was going to war
Contrast between going on tour and engaging in a personal conflict
Dope fiend checks, a new Lex and kill techs
Financial gains, luxury car, and deadly weaponry
Before I had to jet I told the god I'm impressed
Expressing admiration before leaving
He said check it out Nicky, I'm killing the world
Someone proud of their destructive influence on the world
My woman is top notch, got my brain in a twirl
A top-tier romantic partner causing mental turmoil
Hella ballers done hit it and I call her my girl
Having numerous affluent suitors while being committed
And my mama looks at me like I'm not her pearl
Feeling unappreciated by one's own family
I go to sleep every night with a body on my mind
Obsessive thoughts about violence
Man, slugs from the nine, you shoulda seen how he died
Witnessing a violent death
Fears for years, but yo, you already knew that
Long-standing fears, acknowledged by the listener
I'ma keep selling dope, but yo, how can I do that?
Conflict between wanting to change and the lure of selling drugs
Itchin to be vicious ever since I was seven
Longing for violence since childhood
He said Nickatina will we go to heaven
Questioning the possibility of going to heaven given their actions
For the game
Reiteration of the challenging nature of the environment
(I can't even have a family god)
Expression of frustration regarding family life
Fears of a coke lord driving my tigers insane
Reiteration of fears related to a drug lord lifestyle
(These cats is coming after me god)
Sense of being pursued by adversaries
Tryin to get paid off the ya-yo powder and caine
Attempts to profit from cocaine and heroin
(My woman's hella sheisty god)
Concerns about the untrustworthiness of a romantic partner
Fears of a coke lord driving my tigers insane
Final repetition of fears related to a drug lord lifestyle
