Lyrics
You say it's driving you insane
You express that the situation is causing you extreme distress.
But you'll never be the same,
You acknowledge that the experience will profoundly change you.
Cause you'll lose all the power
Stating that you will lose control or influence over your thoughts and decisions.
That's in your head
Referring to the authority or dominance within your mind.
Well I knew him back from school days
Recalling a past acquaintance from school days.
So I caught him right before
Expressing the timing of your interaction just before a significant change in his life.
He got himself and ego
Describing the development of an inflated sense of self-importance.
And gave his life to selling draw
Detailing the choice to dedicate one's life to selling drugs.
I understand his problems
Expressing empathy for his struggles or challenges.
But he lost me with his answers
Indicating a disconnection due to dissatisfaction with his explanations.
And know he's looking round
Highlighting his tendency to shift blame onto others.
For someone else to blame
Observing a sense of denial or differentiation from shared experiences.
You're acting like we're not the same
Pointing out the pretense of dissimilarity.
Like selling drugs should bring you fame
Rejecting the idea that selling drugs should bring recognition or success.
But I don't see
Expressing a lack of understanding or agreement.
It ain't your prowess that keeps them
Suggesting that success in drug dealing is not due to skill but external factors.
Knocking at you door
Implying that others approach you because of external factors, not personal prowess.
You is the man you think you're godfather
Describing an inflated self-image as if you are a powerful figure.
Until the Babylon them gone come after
Anticipating negative consequences from law enforcement.
Oh what a shame
Expressing regret for a potential unfulfilled destiny.
You were gonna be so different
Highlighting a shift from initial aspirations to succumbing to greed.
Now the greed's takin' over
Expressing disappointment at the overpowering influence of greed.
Oh what a shame
Reiterating the regret for a change in thought process due to greed.
Cause your thinking was so different
Acknowledging the initial uniqueness of your perspective.
But now this greed's taking over
Reiterating the negative impact of greed taking control.
It's the dealer fever
Labeling the destructive mindset as "dealer fever."
You gotta break from the fever.
Advocating for breaking free from the destructive mindset.
