Warrior's Reflection: Unveiling Life's Worth Beyond Materialism
Lyrics
I hear you was joking with the paramedics
Addressing someone who joked with paramedics, possibly about a serious situation.
You're a warrior, I can't forget it
Acknowledging the person as a warrior and expressing difficulty in forgetting them.
It's not what you said, its how you said it
Emphasizing that the way something is said is significant, not just the words.
It ain't what you get, it's how you get it
Highlighting the importance of the manner in which achievements are attained.
We lost it all I'm so ashamed
Expressing shame over losing everything.
I'm inflamed with vengeance
Feeling intense anger and a desire for revenge.
Without honor, what the fuck are Ferrari engines?
Raising questions about the value of material success without honor.
And they can floss colossal pendants of silver/gold
Criticizing the superficial display of wealth using large silver/gold pendants.
But that shit was cheap for the worth of their soul
Asserting that such displays are insignificant compared to the value of one's soul.
You planted the seed in the mind
Referring to influencing thoughts and decisions.
Who will hand the key to blind and lead the sheep to rise?
Pondering who holds the key to guide and lead others who are blind.
Bring the wolves to their demise?
Possibly contemplating bringing about the downfall of those who exploit others.
Even those disguised in wool will not live to open their eyes
Suggesting that even those pretending to be harmless won't survive.
And I'mma ride
Committing to take action despite challenges.
I shed tears the levies couldn't hold
Expressing deep emotions that surpass the containment of traditional barriers.
She had courage and patience
Praising someone for their courage and patience.
Like I got the streets and stations
Comparing personal strength to controlling streets and stations.
Za tobom nocas placu mandoline
Describing a scene where mandolins cry for someone, and mentioning a beautiful rose.
Najlepsa ruza ikad procvitala
-I ako nisi znala
-They forgot to tell em, I'm Sicilian
Asserting Sicilian heritage, possibly as a warning or declaration of identity.
50 years go by, his grandson I'mma fuckin kill him
Expressing a desire for revenge spanning generations.
Cause I'm a fuckin killer
Claiming a killer instinct.
Never did fit in as a dealer
Feeling out of place as a dealer, perhaps in the context of illegal activities.
But they wanna see who's realer
Referencing a desire to prove authenticity in a challenging environment.
I'm looking at the mirror, but the mirror don't look me back
Reflecting on self-image and the lack of validation from the mirror.
On your portrait I'mma swear I never sold no crack
Promising never to engage in certain illegal activities.
I never stole a thing, I'dd never hurt a fly
Claiming innocence and non-violence, despite having dangerous connections.
But I got killers on my mamas side
Highlighting the presence of killers in the family and the consequences if crossed.
And I got killers on my fathers side
-And if they cross us, bice homicide
-And I'mma see you on the other side
Anticipating meeting someone again in the afterlife.
Till then I'mma ride
Committing to persevere until a reunion in the afterlife.
And when the lord call for me, no fear in my eye
Facing death without fear due to the expectation of a future reunion.
Cause I'mma see you again, so I got no fear when I die
