How It Be
Unveiling Midnight Revelations: 'How It Be' Insights
Lyrics
Ay-yo I change up but what I can't remember
Acknowledging personal change with a memory lapse.
but when I buckle down I knuckle up
Focusing and getting ready for a challenge.
all the contenders pretenders get passed.
Overtaking and surpassing fake competitors.
The girls get gassed they playin'
Women are impressed, possibly by charismatic behavior.
pass the ass bumpin' Teddy Pendergrass
Enjoying Teddy Pendergrass music while engaging in flirtatious behavior.
all night long with your bullshit talkin' litical.
Dismissing irrelevant and deceptive political talk.
Litical. But your crew is all soft I
Highlighting the softness of the opponent's crew.
Knock your best shot off the right field
Deflecting a powerful attack from the opponent.
fence served ain't the word.
Describing a significant event with strong impact.
You got sent
Being sent or thrown out of a situation.
You don't know how it be
Expressing the inability of others to understand personal experiences.
you don't know what I feel
Challenging others' knowledge of personal feelings.
and you don't know what I see
Challenging others' perception of personal experiences.
When I walk my dog at four in the morning
Describing a solitary activity at an unusual hour.
You want to know how it really be.
Inviting others to understand real-life experiences.
What you live and see what you gotta weed.
Reflecting on the challenges and choices in life.
The criminality who's livin it up.
Acknowledging a life of crime and its indulgences.
Who still gut the guts who's payin to
Identifying those who still take risks and face consequences.
fuck who got in his truck
Referencing sexual encounters and personal vehicles.
I'm pushin' my luck down the ave with my crew.
Engaging in risky behavior with a group.
Lustin for loot.
Expressing a strong desire for wealth.
Dustin for fools blind to the bulls.
Being unaware or indifferent to potential dangers.
Twenties gleamin like jewels straight not givin'a fuck...
Boasting about success and wealth without concern.
You don t know how it be
Reiterating the theme of others' lack of understanding.
You don't know what I feel
Reinforcing the idea that others can't comprehend personal feelings.
And you don't know what I see
Reiterating the theme of others' limited perception.
When I walk my dog at four in the morning
Describing a mundane and solitary activity in the early morning.
