Lyrics
I try keep from peeping at my rearview
Trying to avoid looking back at past experiences or memories while driving.
But it just seems that the things from the past tend to steer you
Suggesting that the past often influences or directs one's present actions.
And in my dreams I'm just teased with the past
Referencing dreams that tease with past memories but not intended to control.
But never meant to
Despite the dreams, there's no intention to dwell on the past.
Take it for granted, now I'm knowing where you been
Understanding where someone has been is crucial to understanding their future.
Is essential to where you goin'
Knowing the past is essential for determining future directions.
Life's short and we sleeping half of it
Realizing life is short, and a significant portion is spent sleeping, which can be regrettable.
Ain't that a bitch
Expressing frustration or discontent about life's brevity.
As kids we all wanted to touch a M
Desire to achieve a million dollars (touch a "M") was common among kids.
Ninety-eight percent won't see half of it
Most people won't achieve even half of their aspirations.
The odds ain't even
Highlighting the uneven odds against achieving dreams.
Potential there, but the obstacles steep and
Recognizing potential but acknowledging difficult obstacles ahead.
You start to doubt whats in optical reach and
Starting to doubt what's achievable or within sight.
You start to lose ya reason for breathing
When facing obstacles, losing motivation or purpose for existence.
Living like a heathen
Living a life contrary to moral or ethical standards.
Teach it to ya seeds without meaning
Teaching negative behaviors or values to one's children.
A cycle like the seasons
Comparing life's cycle to the repetitive nature of seasons.
My foundation was one of one
Having a unique and solid foundation, possibly upbringing or values.
Could of grew in the slum of slums
Could have grown up in the worst conditions but emerged successfully.
And still came out a king cuz I'm the son of one
Not materially wealthy but possessing a rich mindset.
Never been wealthy, but always wealthy minded
The right environment is crucial for a child's development.
A healthy climates all you need for ya seed to proceed to sprout
Sharing truths with the youth without needing an invitation.
And bare fruits from its leaves
Nurturing the young and helping them grow and succeed.
I bare the truth for the youth
Being honest and open with younger generations.
And proceed to lead without a invite
Leading without waiting for an official invitation.
Cuz if pops won't give em insight, this pen might
Using writing to provide guidance or insights to others.
See Summers ago 'for I ever summoned the flow
Reflecting on past summers before gaining success.
I would rise with the sun then after I eat go play the street
A routine of waking early, eating, and playing outdoors as a child.
I was discrete in my youth
Being cautious or careful in one's younger years.
Ran into forks in the route
Facing decisions or diverging paths in life.
Too country for but too new york for the crew
Not fitting perfectly into any particular social group or category.
An outcast, they hated it cuz my presence was radiant
Being different or exceptional, causing discomfort for some.
Could out class the pope, but trained to go, we inhale the smoke
Capable of surpassing religious figures but also experienced in street life.
To outlast the enemy
Enduring challenges to outlast opponents or adversaries.
Protect out energy and not one persons fragile
Protecting one's own energy and not allowing others to weaken it.
We hit a scene thats forty bangers like a verzez battle
Arriving at a situation with a significant number of aggressive individuals.
I rattle feathers
Provoking or disturbing others deliberately.
Ruffle rather, since i start to bubble, lather
Creating agitation or causing a stir since achieving success.
It's like my success leaving chumps in distress
Success causing distress or discomfort to those less accomplished.
This lifestyle have you watching over ya shoulder more than usual
A lifestyle resulting in heightened vigilance due to potential dangers.
But it beats stirring noodles with ya fingers melting cuticles
Choosing a better life path than a more challenging or menial one.
