OATH TO THE STREETS
Cold Hearts and Street Wisdom: Brad Bishop's Oath to Reality
Lyrics
I don't know no love yea
I am not familiar with love
I don't know no love yea
Repetition of not knowing love
I don't know no love yea
Continued lack of knowledge about love
I don't know no love yea
Reiteration of not knowing love
I don't know no love yea
Emphasis on the absence of love
I don't know no love sing it
Repetition with an encouragement to sing about not knowing love
I don't know no love yea
Continued lack of knowledge about love
Heart turned cold from these hoes don't know love
The heart has become cold due to negative experiences with women, indicating a lack of love
Heart turned cold lost my bro don't know love
The heart turned cold after losing a close friend, expressing a further absence of love
Heart turned cold from my home don't know love
The heart turned cold from experiences at home, suggesting a strained or absent familial love
It's a shame you had to lie me when I was being real
Expressing disappointment in someone lying despite being genuine
When I started getting moneys when you showed me what it is
Realization that money revealed true intentions of those around
You felt like all the shit I did for you wasn't enough
Feeling unappreciated despite significant efforts for someone
Everything I gave my life for I gotta give to you for what
Questioning the worth of sacrificing for someone who doesn't reciprocate
I know what time it is
Awareness of the current situation
I don't know what time it was
Uncertainty about the past
Addicted to the streets and to this music like it's drugs
Expressing addiction to both the streets and music, comparing it to a drug
Who the fuck want smoke with me got wrap to fill your lungs
Challenge to those who may have issues with the artist
Heart turned cold from these hoes don't know love
Reiteration of the heart turning cold due to negative experiences with women
Who gon hold it down like gravity?
Rhetorical question about who will support and remain loyal
Why my name always in they mouth like I'm a cavity?
Questioning why the artist's name is frequently mentioned negatively
Tell me why you mad at me
Asking for an explanation for the resentment
Lying to me casually
Accusing someone of lying in a casual manner
Stop being fake with flattery
Advising against fake compliments
Don't have time for all this conversation all this chattering
Expressing a lack of patience for meaningless conversation
All you wanna do is hold me back from where I'm tryna be
Accusation of someone hindering the artist's progress
I'm tryna build a dynasty
Desire to build a successful and lasting legacy
I don't have no privacy but still living privately
Mention of living without privacy despite success
It's funny how some money got you looking at them spitefully
Observation of how money can lead to jealousy
I keep moving silently
Continued effort to progress silently
I was on the sideline watching how they move
Past experience of observing others' actions and decisions
So when it's my turn I'm guaranteed to never lose
Commitment to success and determination not to fail
All these choices that I had to make I didn't wanna choose
Regretful acknowledgment of difficult choices
The scars from all this hurt won't heal I treat it like a bruise
Acknowledgment of emotional wounds that may not fully heal
