Phases
Navigating Life's Phases: A Poetic Journey by Bailz Pagliacci
Lyrics
I been going through some phases phases phases phases
The speaker has experienced various stages or periods in their life.
I done seen a lot of places places places places
The speaker has traveled to many different locations or situations.
You wouldn't know if you didn't make it make it make it make it
Those who didn't achieve success wouldn't understand the speaker's journey.
So a nigga make changes
As a result of experiences, the speaker has decided to make changes in their life.
I been going through them phases
Reiteration of going through various phases in life.
Yeah yeah
Expression of agreement or acknowledgment.
Yeah yeah yeah here he go again
Reference to a recurring situation or behavior.
Just a nigga from the hood who ain't never see the pen
The speaker, originating from a disadvantaged background, never faced imprisonment.
Picked up the pen just to see the Benjamin's
The speaker started writing to earn money.
Funny is the same mindset as white men
Commentary on shared financial aspirations regardless of racial differences.
Lock a nigga up and throw away they key
Comment on the harsh consequences of criminal actions.
Cuz he moved keys had the streets on lock
A person was incarcerated for drug-related activities, controlling the streets.
Didn't Jay tell you this ain't your block
Reference to Jay-Z's advice that the streets don't belong to anyone.
Now you in the box where there ain't no box
Imprisoned in a place without limits or rules.
I'm pessimistic cycle vicious
The speaker has a negative outlook on life and a repeating, harmful pattern.
We the misfits we was listed
Identification with a group of people considered outsiders.
We was scripted drugs and pimpin
The group was predestined for involvement in drugs and prostitution.
Catching homi's hood anomaly
Engagement in criminal activities, specifically murder, in the neighborhood.
No not hardly system follied
The system has misled or deceived them.
Lesson learned no bridge to burn
Learning from past mistakes with no desire to destroy relationships.
They left to earn we left in urns
People have left to earn a living, and some have died.
And then we turn on each other
Turning against each other in a self-destructive manner.
With a ski-mask matching black grip with the gloves
Planning criminal activities with disguises.
Tell me why you give these niggas love love love
Questioning why people show affection to those engaged in negative actions.
I been going through some phases phases phases phases
Reiteration of going through various phases in life.
I done seen a lot of places places places places
Reiteration of traveling to different locations or situations.
You wouldn't know if you didn't make it make it make it make it
Those who didn't achieve success wouldn't understand the speaker's journey.
So a nigga make changes
As a result of experiences, the speaker has decided to make changes in their life.
I been going through them phases
Reiteration of going through various phases in life.
I been going through some phases phases phases phases
-I done seen a lot of places places places places
Reiteration of traveling to different locations or situations.
You wouldn't know if you didn't make it make it make it make it
Those who didn't achieve success wouldn't understand the speaker's journey.

As a result of experiences, the speaker has decided to make changes in their life.

Expression of agreement or acknowledgment.
