One of a Kind: Defying Expectations
Lyrics
Bro, you need to understand
Emphasizes the importance of understanding a certain perspective.
That not everyone is as cool as we are
Not everyone possesses the same level of coolness, highlighting uniqueness.
Listen
Transition or attention grabber for the upcoming message.
People are going to hate just cause, aye
Anticipation of hate for no apparent reason.
You can't work for talent
Talent is inherent and cannot be earned through work.
And you can't work for coolness but
Coolness is also innate and cannot be acquired through effort.
When you're born with both
Having both talent and coolness leads to envy and hatred.
They gon' hate nigga
Expecting hate due to a combination of talent and coolness.
One of a kind
Emphasizes uniqueness and rarity.
Devil selling and still I ain't buying
Refusing to engage in negative activities despite external influences.
I been asking the Lord for a sign
Seeking guidance or a sign from a higher power.
Been a decade and still in my prime
Despite the passage of time, still at the peak of one's abilities.
I'm one of a kind
Repetition of the theme of uniqueness and resistance to negative influences.
Devil selling and still I ain't buying
-I been asking the Lord for a sign
-Been a decade and still in my prime
-I don't converse with no basics
Aversion to basic or ordinary individuals.
Well, my deck was full of aces
Having a strong hand or advantage in life.
On the go, I need a brake shift
Expressing the need for a break or pause in a busy life.
On the go, I need a
Continuation of the need for a break.
Yeah, Don't compare anymore
Rejecting comparisons with others.
Me & Ayüü walk in Westfield
Reference to walking confidently with someone named Ayüü in a specific location.
And sure you can see the eyes staring in awe
Attracting attention and admiration from onlookers.
Girl trying to hug me with dead energy
Encountering insincere gestures from someone trying to act familiar.
Like we the same level or floor
Rejecting the idea of being on the same level as someone with low energy.
You see the change in demeanour once she smell the Dior
Noticing a change in attitude when the person smells a specific fragrance.
You don't know where I've been
Implying a mysterious or challenging past.
About to set flames to the scene
Intention to bring excitement or intensity to a situation.
Ironic when you see average ting still acting mean
Observing average individuals behaving arrogantly.
Baby girl I know the ting different
Acknowledging and appreciating differences in a romantic context.
When I can see the bumper shaking in jeans
Noticing physical attraction through subtle cues.
(Backside sitting)
Reference to a suggestive posture.
They want the smoke
Being ready for confrontations or challenges.
And I'm Dave Chappelle on stage with lit nicotine
Comparing oneself to Dave Chappelle on stage, unbothered by criticism.
One of a kind
Reiteration of individuality, resistance to negativity, and seeking guidance.
Devil selling and still I ain't buying
-I been asking the Lord for a sign
-Been a decade and still in my prime
-I'm one of a kind
-Devil selling and still I ain't buying
-I been asking the Lord for a sign
-Been a decade and still in my prime
-I don't converse with no basics
Avoiding interactions with ordinary individuals.
Well, my deck was full of aces
Reiterating a strong and advantageous position in life.
On the go, I need a brake shift
Expressing the need for a break or pause.
On the go, I need a brake shift
Continuation of the need for a break or shift in focus.
