Grey October
Lyrics
Chemist
Referring to The Alchemist, producer of the track.
Concrete Evidence
Referring to Evidence, one of the artists on the track.
Blockworks, where we at wit' it?
Asking about their location or situation.
Still the same kind creature
Staying true to one's nature or character.
Little Moochie, James Clay Jones III
Referring to Boldy James by his birth name.
Since Auntie Colleen and Uncle Speedy stayed on the fur
Referencing childhood memories with specific relatives.
The 6-4 YBX, bold and cold
Describing a car model and area affiliation.
I keep it funky with my folkers, huntin' wit' my poachers
Maintaining loyalty and honesty with close associates.
Slumpin' wit' the vultures, stock pilin' with the brokers
Associating with various groups while accumulating wealth.
Baseline it to them smokers, Tony, we ain't the only dopers
Engaging in drug-related activities with others.
Servin' all these pots, I move, fuckin' up the culture
Profitably involved in illegal activities affecting society.
Monkey nuts in that Corolla, ride foreign but it's stolen
Referring to carrying weapons in a stolen vehicle.
Gone off that doja, runnin' from the rollers
Under the influence of marijuana, evading law enforcement.
Thick like remote controller
Comparing thickness to a remote control.
Quick to shoot to the K like I'm Colin
Quick to shoot, referencing Colin Kaepernick.
Chip on my shoulders, scrapin' up them extras and them overs
Feeling burdened by responsibilities and additional tasks.
Mister Yola with the baking soda
Associating with drug dealing and production.
My uncle said he hid them brickies in my baby stroller
Family involvement in illegal activities.
These bitches so moody and shifty, tryna play me closer
Describing distrustful relationships with women.
I sold some blueys for the Griffey, quarter eight at Kroger's
Trading drugs for valuable items.
When Noonie Funk thought he got killed, it brought our pain some closure
Mourning a death, finding closure through revenge.
So if you shoot me, better kill me, keep that same composure
Asserting composure and readiness for any situation.
Shit, I did thirty on my gas when twenty-eight is over
Spending more money on gas due to anxiety and stress.
All of this murder on my mind, it's hard to face it sober
Struggling with thoughts of violence and difficulty staying sober.
On the hunt for Grey October
Seeking something elusive or unattainable (possibly peace).
(So, what's your position about religion?)
Discussion about beliefs in God and prayer.
(I believe in God, you believe in God?)
-(Yes I do)
-(Pray every day, pray every day, I try to)
-(Turn that shit up)
-I don't run away from danger, I'm better running towards it
Embracing challenges rather than avoiding them.
All my words are just the letter, show the swords and I enforce it
Words as weapons used to enforce actions.
Missing all my players when I hit the streets
Missing friends while navigating the streets.
But Evi didn't forfeit (Nope)
Evidence persevering and not giving up.
Rising from the scorched earth, I roll it up and torch it
Rising and overcoming challenges or difficulties.
Two different careers like I'm two different people
Living dual lives or having multiple personas.
Two different years, one life, no sequel
Life being singular without reincarnation.
Trip, you inspired or you desperate
Questioning motivation or inspiration.
Uh, you either full or you desolate
Choosing between abundance and scarcity.
I walk a different line of truth unperfected (yeah)
Walking a path of truth despite imperfections.
What I bring inside this booth is uninspected
Presenting unanticipated content in the music.
It ain't checkmate yet but on my checklist (check)
Progress made but not yet completing the task.
Put the flowers on the ground and then it's breakfast
Symbolically paying respects before moving forward.
Thanks to you, all within a day's time
Gratefulness expressed within a short time frame.
It's never made man until I made mine (go)
Achieving personal success.
You in the game or you hatin'
Deciding to participate or resent from the sidelines.
Either way, you either playin' or you waitin'
Choosing between action and inaction.
(I ain't got no money- Rabbit, I ain't got no money)
Conversation about financial limitations and decisions.
(Well, I know you ain't lyin')
-(With the money the bears took, we gon' go buy our own gun)
-(You don't need no more guns now)
-('Cause I sees how them guns is mighty nice
-(But I hate to let the congregation think that)
-(The boys was being frugal by not buying more)
