Lyrics
everybody starts off innocent including me
Expressing that everyone, including the narrator, starts off innocent.
so i relate to this brother like his really family tree
Feeling a strong connection to someone as if they are family.
he never really knew what love was so he had to hit the street
The person in focus lacked understanding of love and turned to the streets.
cause everytime he was at home he mum & dad just used to beef
Home life was tumultuous, with constant conflict between parents.
and it was getting to him plus there weren't no food to eat
Living conditions were harsh, leading to hunger.
his sis was going so hungry that she found hard to sleep
The sister's hunger made it difficult for her to sleep.
he had dreams that he mother told him that he cant achive
Dreams were discouraging, with the mother suggesting the person's inability to achieve.
he cracked under all the pressure, started linking crack pheenes
Under pressure, the person turned to illegal activities, involving drug users.
should have been at school, but he had work on him instead
Missed schooling due to other responsibilities.
postcode wars he didn't pick this address
Living in an area affected by postcode wars, not by choice.
no pain no gain he was hurt blud it was stress
Experiencing pain and stress, a necessary part of the journey.
just tryna get himself out the ends. had to make ends meat 1st
Struggling to escape the neighborhood and make a living.
cause mummy got an empty purse , he knew his dad will leave but never knew he'll leave in a hurst
Expecting father to leave, but unaware of the sudden departure.
no generational wealth just a generational curse
No inheritance, only a cycle of difficulties passed down through generations.
from the mud he really came from the dirt ,he started cleaning up
Rising from a difficult background, working hard to improve.
1 foot in the other out cah his seen enough
Balancing between two worlds, having seen enough of the hardships.
but that boys loyal to the soil so his team was up
Remaining loyal to his roots despite challenges.
you should've seen the love he was getting once he was getting it
Gaining love and acceptance once achieving success.
all the parties they let his brigens bring all there weapons in
Parties welcomed him, even though there was a potential for violence.
it was still grandma prayers that were protecting him
Grandma's prayers played a protective role.
cause he had a 1/3 of the ends 2nd guessing him
Being doubted by a portion of his community.
and they reckon one of these days, was his day of reckoning
Anticipating a day of judgment or reckoning.
got it from the kitchen so man were thinking of chefing him
Fearing harm from those who might betray him.
he was paranoid cause in the cut they stabbed his boy
Paranoia due to a friend being stabbed in a dangerous situation.
felt like the game choose him and he never had a choice
Feeling forced into a life of crime with no alternative.
money or the violence his olders said choose wisely
Confronted with a choice between money and violence.
could never trust a soul so he could never choose a wifey
Struggling to trust others, avoiding commitment.
then meet this good girl with some good traits from a good home
Meeting a good girl from a stable background.
outta town with his hood mates and he took her home
Taking her to his hometown, blurring the lines between two worlds.
he said baby life is a bitch give a dog a bone
Philosophizing about life's challenges.
she wernt giving up to him and it gave him hope
She resisted his advances, giving him hope.
but he wernt trying to close because anything he loved
Avoiding deep emotional connections due to past losses.
always ended up in smoke, she was like his twin flame he felt connected to her soul
Comparing the girl to a "twin flame," feeling a profound connection.
it was like his trauma just disappear whenever she would hold him
Finding solace and relief when with her.
so held her down showed her off took her out so a
Displaying commitment and building a future with her.
so future with her cause her presence made him smile
Her presence brought happiness and positivity to his life.
plus she wouldn't judge him even though his been though trails
She accepted him despite his troubled past.
its to good to be true his in denial
Feeling hesitant about the positive relationship, possibly due to past disappointments.
he wernt tryna fall in love he wernt tryna fall in love
Resisting falling in love due to fear and past experiences.
he aint even known love so he was guilt tripping all the time
Struggling with guilt and uncertainty about experiencing love for the first time.
but she saw the innocence eyes he wernt tryna fall in love
Recognizing innocence in the girl's eyes, making it difficult to resist falling in love.
he wernt tryna fall in love he wernt tryna fall in love
Repeating the struggle and resistance against falling in love.
he aint even known love so he was guilt tripping all the time
Continuing to grapple with guilt and fear related to love.
