Lyrics
Hook (2x)
Mowing the grass serves as a metaphor for being cautious and aware of deceitful individuals, referred to as "snakes."
Mow the grass gotta watch out for the snakes, yeah
-Roll the grass getting baked
Rolling the grass and getting baked may symbolize relaxation and staying calm despite challenges.
Yeah I did my dirt, but I gotta clean slate
The acknowledgment of past mistakes but a desire for a fresh start or redemption.
Let a nigga live, I'm tryna eat, I need a plate
Expressing a need for personal growth and success, metaphorically conveyed as wanting a seat at life's table.
Verse
Addressing various aspects of trust, loyalty, and discernment in relationships. Warning about potential betrayal and the importance of choosing associates wisely.
Look at the ho's they be flockin'
-I'm shooting my shot with no conscious
-These niggas be watchin', they jockin'
-We know that these niggas is plottin'
-If you ain't talkin' deposits
-The you just talkin' that nonsense
-All of my niggas is honest
-All of your niggas ain't solid
-All my day ones is A1
-I ain't even gotta say none
-If I'm in a jam then they come
-You in a jam then they run
-Shit, ain't that some
-Better watch them niggas you keep
-Lions don't mingle with sheep
-Hook (2x)
Reiteration of the cautionary theme about snakes and the need to be vigilant.
Verse
Highlighting differences between the speaker and others, emphasizing a non-conformist attitude. Dodging negativity and staying true to oneself while maintaining a sense of isolation from potential harm.
We not the same
-Different lanes
-And you can’t say
-My shit made up
-Like last place
-It’s a chase
-Not a race
-But I can’t wait up
-Wait up
-Dodging the hate
-Like I’m in the matrix
-I can’t fake it
-Whenever you see me
-Don’t throw me yo hand
-Cause I can’t shake it
-Isolated
-From the snakes and who they hang wit
-The niggas wit me
-1k
-Playing wit the bands
-While we playin' keep away
-Hook (2x)
Final repetition of the hook, reinforcing the central theme of being wary of snakes.
