Duck Hunt Realities: 8 Bits of Life's Challenges in billy woods Lyrics
Lyrics
They shootin' at the screen
Reference to violence depicted on a screen, possibly a metaphor for life's challenges.
Laser beams, lucid dreams
Mentions of futuristic elements, suggesting a blend of reality and imagination.
Even the wiliest fiends find
Even the most cunning individuals experience a loss of momentum.
Theyselves losing steam
Continuation of the theme of losing energy or motivation.
Chasing hit's, Barry Bonds
Referencing the pursuit of success, using baseball icon Barry Bonds as a metaphor.
Those high scores only last so long
Success is temporary; high scores don't last forever.
8 bit's in the cartridge, 16 in the P
Technical details about video games, possibly alluding to life's complexities.
Yeah, it comes with the game but
Life's challenges come with a cost, emphasizing nothing is truly free.
Ain't a damn thing free
Reflections on interpersonal relationships, skepticism about others' authenticity.
The kid talk about pussy like
-He trying to convince me g'head dog
-I see how close you and your niggas be
-Self-described pretty G's with fly
-Bitches on they tweets but me?
-I'll Delonte West your Old Earth
-And still keep it discreet
-Duke, your whole style is wash, rinse, repeat
-I bet your A&R knew he struck
-Gold with that easy listening
-Middle of the road and to all you rapping
-Christians on a mission
-I'm happy to lighten that load
-You'll stumble out the jungle
-Twenty pounds lighter
-Wild eyed like a white man
-After twenty days on Rikers
-Tell em our pupils was red, skin black
-Rhyming brutal back of the izakaya
-Sapporo tallboy with my Ramen noodle
-Either I'm seeing y'alls wires or
-This strain is that crucial
-A lot of shit old people got to say
-Really ain't that useful
-So don't mind me youngin', do you
-Spread your wings i'mma be right up on that
-Magnavox clappin' that thing
Intense engagement with life's challenges, symbolized by "Magnavox clappin'."
They shootin' at the screen
Repetition of the theme of challenges and costs in the pursuit of goals.
Laser beams, lucid dreams
-Even the wiliest fiends find
-Theyselves losing steam
-Chasing hit's, Barry Bonds
-Those high scores only last so long
-8 bit's in the cartridge, 16 in the P
-Yeah, it comes with the game but
-Ain't a damn thing free
-To everyone I loved
Acknowledgment of those who supported or betrayed, wishing consequences accordingly.
To everyone who fronted me drugs
-To all y'all who still
-Frontin' and fake friends
-Who left me for dead in the mud salud!
-May you each get exactly what you deserve
Abrupt dismissal of a prepared speech in favor of a simpler expression.
Had a speech prepared chock full
Shift in tone, expressing indifference or frustration with complex language.
Of them SAT words
-But on second thought, fuck it
-Two tears in a bucket about sums it
References to personal traits and lifestyle changes due to success.
A tisket, a tasket
-Black Robert Baden Powell
-Never caught without the ratchet
-Grass like Wimbledon, wood racquet
-Rap like a simpleton, see new tax bracket
-So-called goons
Critique of individuals pretending to be something they are not.
Turns out they schools was magnet
-Masters of masquerade masked up, all
-The worlds a stage, Director's cut
-Faster blade, hunting ducks
Metaphor of hunting ducks as a representation of facing challenges.
Both barrels spray
-They stuttering "best of luck"
-On your last day
A grim reference to the uncertainty of life.
Last check cut bout 3 weeks before
Financial struggles and the impact on health insurance.
Your health insurance fly away smarten up
-Hulk gray or find yourself in
Reference to imprisonment or dire consequences.
The hole like Special K pimpers Paradise
-Nigga my mic sounds nice and from the jump
Confident assertion of talent and commitment to the craft.
I bet my life
-Pocket collapsing, it's the recession
Financial struggles affecting artistic pursuits.
Nobody's buying the playaction
-We don't believe you like
Skepticism towards external narratives, comparing to the government in Mogadishu.
The government in Mogadishu
-You need more factions
Advocacy for diversity or alternative perspectives.
They shootin' at the screen
Reiteration of the theme of challenges and costs, emphasizing the non-free nature of life.
Laser beams, lucid dreams
-Even the wiliest fiends find
-Theyselves losing steam
-Chasing hit's, Barry Bonds
-Those high scores only last so long
-8 bit's in the cartridge, 16 in the P
-Yeah, it comes with the game but
-Ain't a damn thing free
