Lyrics
Think fast, look down,look away
Be quick in your reactions, avoid direct eye contact
Dont look them in the eye
Emphasizes the avoidance of eye contact
Like ma said don't let them inside or feed the strays
Advice akin to a mother's, warning against letting certain individuals in or assisting them
Give'm what they looking for they'll keep coming around
If you give them what they seek, they will continue to come around
Then take a little more they got your number now
Once they have a little, they will demand more, and now they know how to reach you
5 4 3 2 1
Countdown to a negative event is over, but the consequences have just started
The countdown is over and it's just begun
Emphasizes the beginning of negative consequences
Think fast, look down, look away
Reiteration of the need to act quickly and avoid eye contact
Dont look them in the eye
Reemphasizes the importance of avoiding eye contact
Like ma said don't let them inside or feed the strays
Reiteration of the motherly advice against letting certain individuals in or helping them
You're new to this they're pros and shit
You are inexperienced, while others are skilled; there's a deception at play
The con of it is You're the con in it
Highlighting the deceptive nature of the situation, with the listener being part of the con
To them a counterfeit to use for the bounty flip
Seeing the listener as a fake, used for a reward or benefit
I got a tip
A piece of advice or information
Think fast, look down,look away
Reiteration of the need to act quickly and avoid eye contact
Dont look them in the eye
Reemphasizes the importance of avoiding eye contact
Like ma said don't let them inside or feed the strays
Reiteration of the motherly advice against letting certain individuals in or helping them
Give them one inch and they'll take more then they need
Warning against giving any ground, as they will exploit it
I don't think it's fueled by greed
Speculation that their actions are not driven by greed but by compulsion
It's more compulsion
It's a compulsion, similar to how waves don't stop because a ship is present
Like the waves won't stop just cause there's a ship in the ocean
Actions are driven by a compulsive need, likened to the unstoppable force of waves
Suffice to say they sacrifice today
Suggests that they sacrifice today to make the listener pay for past actions
To make you pay for yesterday's
Emphasizes the concept of paying for past mistakes
Hamburgers Wimpy
Reference to Wimpy, possibly symbolizing a desire for something more
Think fast, look down,look away
Reiteration of the need to act quickly and avoid eye contact
Dont look them in the eye
Reemphasizes the importance of avoiding eye contact
Like ma said don't let them inside or feed the strays
Reiteration of the motherly advice against letting certain individuals in or helping them
Think fast, look down,look away
Reiteration of the need to act quickly and avoid eye contact
Dont look them in the eye
Reemphasizes the importance of avoiding eye contact
Like ma said don't let them inside or feed the strays
Reiteration of the motherly advice against letting certain individuals in or helping them
Think fast, look down,look away
Reiteration of the need to act quickly and avoid eye contact
Dont look them in the eye
Reemphasizes the importance of avoiding eye contact
Like ma said (like ma said)
Repeated emphasis on the advice given by 'ma'
Think fast, look down,look away
Reiteration of the need to act quickly and avoid eye contact
Dont look me in the eyes
Now the focus shifts to the listener, advising against direct eye contact
You don't owe shit to nobody
You have no obligations to anyone
Don't ever let them make you think you do
Don't let others manipulate you into thinking otherwise
Clothes red nose bloody
Physical description, possibly symbolizing a struggle
Fought for what I have
Expresses having fought for one's possessions
How about you
Prompting a reflection on the listener's own struggles
(Think fast, look down,look away
Reiteration of the need to act quickly and avoid eye contact
Dont look them in the eye
Reemphasizes the importance of avoiding eye contact
Like ma said don't let them inside or feed the strays)
