Lines, tell them read between it

Encouraging others to look for deeper meanings or insights.

Tripping while I'm slipping, busy fighting off these demons

Struggling with personal challenges and inner conflicts.

Listen while I'm spitting boy, you probably won't believe it

Asking the listener to pay attention to the lyrics, acknowledging potential disbelief.

But life is so terrific, tell them pinch me if I'm dreaming

Expressing a positive outlook on life, considering it terrific.

Revenue's what I get get, your bitch is what I did hit

Referring to financial gains and past romantic involvement.

And I'm bout my business, them pesos what I did get

Emphasizing a focus on personal goals and financial success.

Made a hit, had a fix, they saying you’s the shiznit

Claiming success and recognition for creating a hit.

Tell them get off my diznick, you bucket headed bitches

Asserting authority and dismissing detractors.

Crossing all the lines, time is only racing time

Metaphorically discussing the consequences of crossing boundaries.

He flippin' to the bars so I'm only raising mine

Connecting to the importance of personal growth and raising one's standards.

Depending on the grind is the only way to shine

Highlighting the necessity of hard work for success.

So I'm feeling like that odds is the only state of mind

Stating that a positive mindset is crucial for success.

And it's finna give me peace, life up in these streets

Finding peace in the challenges of urban life.

Equipped with a piece, case you niggas wanted beef

Being prepared for conflicts with others.

Cause man gave us laws and God gave us time

Reflecting on the coexistence of societal laws and divine time.

It's the art of storytelling and I'm only telling mine

Connecting the narrative to the art of storytelling, claiming ownership of the story.


The lines we've crossed, the lines we crossed

Reflecting on the impact of crossing boundaries and how it leads to personal loss.

Have always been why I've lost

-

It changes all the time

-

Cause I've wondered how (I've wondered how)

-

I’m happier when I lose what I’ve needed all my life

-

(Talk that talk boy)

Encouraging bold and confident communication.


Straight out of the belly of East Point, yea that's my origins

Personal narrative reflecting on the artist's origins, religious experiences, and societal commentary.

Was born in West Savannah, Georgia then I was born again

-

Like the baby in the manger

-

I gave my life to Jesus because he could protect me from the dangers

-

In the circle of angels, just to help me shine my halo

-

Attended Sunday school but it felt like it was every day though

-

I didn't have a suit or no fancy shoes, we went in our play clothes

-

Received the word and it moulded me like Play Doh

-

We don't play though, we don't play though

-

They say we get lower than an alligator's navel

-

And when I say gator I mean that gator that match that sable, fur coat

-

I wish that PETA would throw some blood off on my fur, folk

-

Boy, ass whoopin'

-

They out 'chea eating flesh but wanna worry how I'm looking

-

I stay simply fresh to death, Sir Luscious Left Foot, best foot forward

-

You reap what you sow, and now it's showing

-

The lines we've crossed, the lines we crossed

Repeating the theme of crossed lines leading to personal losses and questioning the pursuit of essential needs.

Have always been why I've lost

-

It changes all the time

-

Cause I've wondered how (I've wondered how)

-

I’m happier when I lose what I’ve needed all my life

-

(Talk that talk boy)

Encouraging assertive and confident communication.
