Letter To My Dawgs
Navigating Trials and Triumphs: BTH CORLEONE's Reflection in 'Letter To My Dawgs'
Lyrics
How you ain't notice I was going thru some thangs
Expressing frustration that others didn't notice the personal struggles.
How they don't love me all the shit I did for gang
Feeling unappreciated for the efforts and sacrifices made for the gang.
Really went thru hell & got my diamonds out the flames
Went through difficult times but emerged stronger, symbolized by diamonds from flames.
Coulda been in jail I was trying it on that plane
Avoided potential legal trouble by not getting caught, possibly related to illegal activities on a plane.
they call it insane doin the same thing back to back like it's gone change
Criticizing the repetition of destructive behaviors without expecting different outcomes.
It's a damn shame niggas done turned they backs on me for change
Expressing disappointment in people who betrayed for personal gain.
I'm the same nigga who was in the backseat wit that K
Reminding others of past loyalty and involvement in dangerous situations.
The only thing that's changed is niggas always askin me for pape
Notable change is people asking for money, indicating a shift in relationships.
They don't even hit my phone they never ask if I'm okay
Feeling neglected as friends don't check in or inquire about well-being.
Niggas say we gang like I can't see they passive wit they hate
Observing insincere loyalty in the gang, detecting hidden envy or resentment.
I'm somewhere outta state tappin wine glasses wit my Bae
Indicating a shift to a more positive and distant lifestyle, enjoying time with a significant other.
You can hit the Jack & I could have a package on the way
Offering help with illegal activities, possibly involving drugs.
I say I'm out the mix but I can't seem to stay up out the way
Struggling to stay away from troublesome situations despite the intention to do so.
How is that yo bitch if she can't seem to stay up out my face
Questioning the sincerity of someone claiming a romantic relationship.
All these pots & pans granny think we bout to make a cake
Using kitchen imagery to describe potential success or wealth creation.
You need to watch yo man he be feelin safe around the jakes
Advising caution around associates who may feel secure around law enforcement.
Lately I been feelin outta place lately I been feelin like I need to get away
Expressing feelings of displacement and a desire to escape from current circumstances.
She askin me what's wrong she say she can see it in my face
Acknowledging emotional distress visible to others.
I told her I'm tired of bein the one to pave the way
Tired of being a leader and paving the way for others.
It's crazy how these niggas let the money go to waste
Commenting on the wastefulness of money by others.
It's hard as hell doin all this shit these niggas can't
Highlighting the difficulty of achieving success that others can't.
It's hard as hell carrying all these niggas dead weight
Bearing the burden of supporting unproductive associates.
It's dark in hell but I been there so I know the way
Referencing personal experience in dark times, suggesting resilience.
I been focused on my pape y'all be focused on the wrong thing
Focused on financial success while criticizing others' misplaced priorities.
Baby she say she love ? me wait until you know me
Cautioning against premature declarations of love, advocating understanding.
If I say we brothers then don't ever think you owe me
Emphasizing the importance of genuine brotherhood without expecting favors.
But I did so much for y'all right now I gotta do my own thing
Acknowledging past sacrifices for others but prioritizing personal growth.
That shit Crazy how they try to make me feel like it's the wrong thing
Expressing frustration at being judged for pursuing individual goals.
Like they families the only ones that need & want things
Rejecting the notion that only certain families deserve support.
A lot of sweat & tears in this shit & yea you gone bleed
Highlighting the effort and pain invested in the journey, predicting challenges.
I done put some years in this shit who gone coach me
Seeking guidance or support after dedicating significant time to a pursuit.
I done spent some years wit a bitch who didn't want me
Reflecting on past relationships where efforts were unappreciated.
Damn near made a mill wit a nigga who wanna smoke me
Describing financial success with someone who now poses a threat.
Opened up my love to some people who did me bogus
Trusting people who betrayed, expressing disappointment.
Opened up my heart to a bitch who just want a closure
Sharing emotions with someone who only seeks closure, not commitment.
Yea these nigga know I'm smart so they hate it when I get sober
Asserting intelligence and resentment towards those who dislike sobriety.
Nigga play yo part cuz all that playin shit is over
Encouraging others to fulfill their roles, signaling the end of games or deceit.
Yea my body full of scars and all this drank that I be pourin
Acknowledging physical and emotional scars, possibly from a challenging lifestyle.
She gave me her all & I just thanked her for the moment
Expressing gratitude for past love but not wanting a long-term commitment.
