Talk
Talk" by Jay Critch: Unveiling Life's Stories Through Beats
Lyrics
Ayy
Expression to grab attention or initiate conversation
Basso
Reference to a low-pitched sound or a musical element
Hood fav
A favorite within the neighborhood or community
(Zito that's hard)
Recognition of something impressive or tough (Zito)
Playin' with that bag had the shooters talkin' 'bout it
Handling a significant amount of money attracting attention from dangerous individuals
Everybody talkin' money we could really talk about it
People discussing wealth, but a genuine conversation is possible
Careful when my bros died I don't like to talk about it (talk about it)
Reluctance to discuss the emotional pain of losing friends
Niggas doin' the snake shit and then wanna they talk about it
Others engaging in deceptive behavior and later talking about it
Crib so big I could fall, walk around it
Residence so spacious that it's a challenge to navigate
And my bitch so thick it be hard to walk around it (nigga walk around)
Describing the physical attributes of a partner
My city get gritty you don't wanna walk around it
A warning about the dangers in the city
And I got a keep it with me, nigga, I can't walk without it (boom, boom)
Carrying a weapon for personal safety
Please don't make me hate you then the whole city gon' talk about it (whole city gon' talk about it)
Fear of developing resentment and becoming a topic of widespread discussion
Had to cut the bitch off then she hit me like, "Lets talk about it" (like lets talk about it)
Ending a relationship and the ex wanting to discuss it
Sometimes I forget that everything I do they talk about it (everything I do they talk about)
Realization that every action draws public attention and discussion
Diamonds on me sparkle try to reach and you get sparked about it
Warning about the consequences of trying to steal valuable items
Problems gon' get solved, we ain't tryna argue 'bout it
Preference for solving problems rather than arguing
Ain't tryna go back and forth way before I got a bag was takin' losses
Avoiding conflicts, especially before achieving financial success
And the old heads know the youngins carryin' the torch (carryin' the torch)
Recognition of younger individuals carrying on traditions
And I know niggas watchin' so I'm carryin' the torch
Being mindful as others observe and emulate actions
Lotta rings on my fingers like I'm married and divorced
Symbolic reference to past relationships and material possessions
She want Louis and Dior, all the shit she can't afford (can't afford)
Desire for luxury items beyond the means of a partner
All my old hoes be tryin', can't get next to me no more
Previous romantic interests attempting to reconnect but being rejected
See the stars all inside it when I open up the door
Feeling like a star with opulence upon entering a space
We don't even talk to you
Intentionally avoiding communication with certain individuals
Man lets talk about it who these niggas talkin' to (who these niggas talkin' to)
Curiosity about who others are addressing or talking about
I'm boss status clear the way when I'm walkin' through
Displaying a confident and authoritative demeanor while moving
New York, I wear the uptowns like they office shoes
Wearing iconic shoes symbolizing a sense of power and authority
I'm the one they send the contracts and the offers to (and the offers to)
Receiving business offers and contracts due to reputation
Niggas got they hand out ain't shit I could offer you (shit I could offer)
Inability to provide what others ask for despite their requests
Fell asleep and left her outside, I was off a few (I was off a few)
Being under the influence and inadvertently neglecting someone
Sippin' and I'm off the juice
Consuming alcoholic beverages or substances
Shooters hit 'em left 'em outside but it's off to new (boom, boom)
Incidents involving shooters and their subsequent departure
Playin' with that bag had the shooters talkin' 'bout it
Similar to line 6, dealing with a significant amount of money causing discussions among dangerous individuals
Everybody talkin' money we could really talk about it
People discussing wealth, openness to genuine conversations
Careful when my bros died I don't like to talk about it (talk about it)
Discomfort in discussing the emotional pain of losing friends
Niggas doin' snake shit and then wanna they talk about it
People engaging in deceitful actions and then discussing them
Crib so big I could fall, walk around it
Residence so spacious that navigation is a challenge
And my bitch so thick it be hard to walk around it (nigga walk around)
Describing the physical attributes of a partner (repeated)
My city get gritty you don't wanna walk around it
A warning about the dangers in the city (repeated)
And I got a keep it with me, nigga, I can't walk without it (boom, boom)
Carrying a weapon for personal safety (repeated)
