Born and Raised
Born and Raised: Unveiling Life's Hardships and Unseen Struggles
Lyrics
Ice tea can on the pavement
Observing an iced tea can on the pavement
I see blood and bone
Seeing signs of violence and injury
If you wanna make some money round here
Suggesting that a profitable business in this area would be a funeral home due to frequent deaths
Open a funeral home
Implying high mortality rate or violence in the area
Shy Girl owed a hundred
Someone named Shy Girl owes a significant amount of money
Times up on that loan
Shy Girl's time to repay the loan has ended
Four dead in the Taco Bell
Report of four deaths that occurred at Taco Bell, preventing anyone from leaving
cin't no one going home
There's no chance for anyone to return home due to the situation at Taco Bell
Born and raised
Identifying with the place where one was born and raised
Think you can judge somebody
Challenging the idea of judging someone without understanding their experiences
Walk in somebody's shoes
Exhortation to empathize by imagining oneself in another's circumstances
Would you be any different
Asking if one would behave differently in a similar situation
Would you expect to be excused ?
Questioning whether one would expect forgiveness or understanding in such circumstances
When you don't even have a Daddy
Highlighting the absence of a father figure in a person's life
You barely got a home
Suggesting a lack of stable housing or a troubled home situation
cnd all you take for granted has gone gone gone
Emphasizing the loss of things once taken for granted
Born and Raised
Reiterating the identification with the place of birth and upbringing
Your hero's are driving Ferraris
Noting that one's idols or admired figures live luxurious lives
Living like mythical gods
Describing the lavish lifestyle of admired individuals as if they were mythical gods
Beautiful girls and Hollywood parties
Contrasting a person's outsider status with the glamorous lives of admired figures
While youre outside with the dogs
Feeling excluded or marginalized compared to those living a luxurious life
. Breaking in
Hinting at a point of breaking in the story or life
Page 1
Indicating the beginning or introduction of a situation or story
They might call you lucky 7
Reference to a lucky number, possibly implying a fortunate or special circumstance
Or even Ol 38
Another reference to a significant number, possibly indicating luck or a circumstance
Put anyone in that situation
Challenging anyone placed in a similar situation to succeed without resorting to illegality
See if they can make it going straight
Testing if someone can manage to succeed while following the legal path in such circumstances
When you're Born and Raised
Reiterating the impact of being born and raised in shaping one's perspective and challenges
Your hero's are driving Ferraris
Repetition emphasizing the luxurious lives of admired figures
Living like mythical gods
Reiteration of the contrast between glamorous lifestyles and a marginalized existence
Beautiful girls and Hollywood parties
Highlighting the stark difference between lavish Hollywood parties and being left out
You're outside with the dogs. Breaking in
Continuing the idea of feeling excluded or relegated to a lesser status compared to others
