Match 2 Torch
From Matches to Torches: A Journey of Resilience and Triumph
Lyrics
Yo
Expression of attention or acknowledgment
See we came with a match about to leave with a torch
Started with a small flame (match), now leaving with a significant impact (torch); metaphor for progress and success
Mission was tough but we never abort
Despite facing challenges, they didn't give up on their mission
Looking so sharp who would of ever of thought
Unexpectedly looking sharp and successful
We clean up this good cause we dirty before
They clean up well, having overcome a rough past
See we came with a match about to leave with a torch
Repetition of the theme of progress, resilience, and success with variations in expression
Mission was tough but we never abort
-Looking so sharp who would of ever of thought
-We clean up this good cause we dirty before
-Chiefin on flora
Smoking or consuming flora (cannabis)
Heating up quick like a fleece in a sauna
Quickly heating up, like being in a sauna wearing a fleece
These beats like a mortar
Comparing the beats to a mortar, emphasizing their impact
From a higher place where I learn receive order
Refers to learning and receiving orders from a higher place
Sticking to a code I ain't trying to live lawless
Adhering to a personal code, avoiding a lawless lifestyle
Still I push borders, 2015 half a year foreign waters
Reflecting on experiences in foreign places in 2015
With my home team, seeing things you'd only thought of
Sharing unique experiences with a close group (home team)
And still I'm trying to
Reflecting on personal growth and determination
Stack me some naught establish a walk
-A way back thru the light to the immaculate source
-I'm from that Benjamin not talking Franklin of course
-It's me against the world You'll need a sanction or more
-A tank or a force, but still, no surviving for yours
-What you witnessing, me colliding with cause
-All started back of mummas crib rapping no warmth
-No heater but my reason was more than a thought
-I kept it at it, had to earn it never could it be bought
-See we came with a match about to leave with a torch
Repetition of the theme of progress, resilience, and success with variations in expression
Mission was tough but we never abort
-Looking so sharp who would of ever of thought
-We clean up this good cause we dirty before
-See we came with a match about to leave with a torch
-Mission was tough but we never abort
-Looking so sharp who would of ever of thought
-We clean up this good cause we dirty before
-You could lose it all letting greed get a hold of the feeling
Warning against the dangers of greed and the importance of enjoying life
Hedge funds to bread crumbs in a matter of minutes
-So we moving smarter, enjoy the fruits of our winnings
-Making use of the time in this life that we given
-Feeling like John Connor, just a brother with a vision
Feeling like John Connor, a visionary and threat to the system
Both the same, born a threat to the system
Overcoming past challenges and turning them into creative output
Called us slaves, but reality we so royal
-Cats waiting on your boy to slip, O'doyell
-Thinking back, when my life was in turmoil
-Now I bury these beats often I turn soil
Burying beats, metaphor for creating music and leaving a mark
Ugh they looking, at the sky for a savior
Emphasizing self-reliance and responsibility
If you cant save yourself, no one will wake up
-Simple shit basis, only complicated for the simpletons, basics
Highlighting the simplicity of life principles
Shawty fine all round, even when she waking
Appreciating greatness and success in various aspects
This is greatness, lit the road like a paramedic pacing
-Racing, for a change - Carving my own lane
Striving for change and individuality
Niggas talk shots but working with no aim
-Cant snap my circle ain't fitting in no frame
-If they ask how I got here, I tell them just one thing
Explaining success with a simple answer
See we came with a match about to leave with a torch
Reiteration of the main theme with slight variations
Mission was tough but we never abort
-Looking so sharp who would of ever of thought
-We clean up this good cause we dirty before
-See we came with a match about to leave with a torch
-Mission was tough but we never abort
-Looking so sharp who would of ever of thought
-We clean up this good cause we dirty before
-Yeah we dirty before its like
Final affirmation of their resilience and success
