Lyrics
Close my eyes and let the words come to
Reflecting, concentrating, and allowing thoughts to flow.
Me when I'm talking to the audience
Addressing or communicating with the audience.
Through my audio
Expressing thoughts through audio channels.
Cause angels are my guardians all of them
Believing in the protection and guidance of angels.
I need a star on First Avenue
Desiring recognition, symbolized by a star on First Avenue.
And that's a tall order
Facing a challenging task or goal.
Need a hook like, "I Ain't Mad At You"
Seeking a catchy phrase or hook, referencing "I Ain't Mad At You."
I take it others tried to make it and
Acknowledging others who attempted success but failed.
Fell on their face
Emphasizing resilience after setbacks.
It's how you get back up that sets your pace
Highlighting the importance of bouncing back from challenges.
I'm a long runner long winters
Identifying as someone who endures both tough winters and summers.
And gone summers gone hunting
Referring to past experiences, possibly in a metaphorical sense.
Call me on it got the wrong number
Admitting to mistakes or misunderstandings.
Hardest out without even trying
Being naturally talented without apparent effort.
These rappers lying to you accomplishments
Challenging the credibility of other rappers' achievements.
There's not much that I don't
Asserting a broad range of capabilities.
Do's a true statement
Stating a genuine fact or truth.
Banging out to make a new placement
Determined to create new opportunities.
Play my part for what my crew's facing
Contributing to the collective challenges faced by a group.
The best of both worlds
Balancing contrasting aspects of life or identity.
And told it like a war report
Conveying experiences like a detailed war report.
I don't kick game
Not using deceptive tactics in interactions.
They just understand my story board
Having a life story that others comprehend.
I'm pinning up the photos in order
Organizing memories or experiences in a chronological order.
To make a sequence
Arranging images to create a coherent narrative.
My presence felt even if on defense
Making a presence known even when on the defensive.
I'd rather hear emotion and
Valuing emotional expression in vocals over technical perfection.
Vocals recorded poorly
Expressing a preference for genuine emotion in music.
Than some clean shit with no feeling
Choosing substance over style in artistic expression.
End of story I've been known for dealing
Known for facing and overcoming difficult situations.
Hardship
Experiencing and overcoming hardship.
I'm just a magician who's dealing card tricks
Comparing oneself to a magician dealing with life's challenges.
I'm in the building
Acknowledging one's presence in a significant place or moment.
Godly like I spit it under arches
Describing a god-like or exceptional quality in speech.
Or stone pillar known in Rome
Referencing historical structures, possibly emphasizing durability.
But coming home to being known's iller
Contrasting fame away from home with its challenges.
It's just a feeling with no filler i take it
Expressing a feeling without unnecessary embellishments.
I'm like Banks spitting on some "Cake" shit
Similar to Lloyd Banks, delivering impactful lyrics.
And make myself a great day
Choosing to create a positive and fulfilling day.
The day is what you make it i take it
Emphasizing the role of personal agency in shaping one's day.
