Lyrics

read a face like and open page, that’s make or break like an ocean wave, see the fakes, that don’t know their place, that’s taking bait, between rotor blades,

Ability to discern emotions like an open book; critical moments are like deciding factors such as a powerful ocean wave. Identifying those who are fake and unaware of their position, falling for traps between dangerous situations.


own ur space, on open straights, cloak emotion, but show ur face, step to plates, walking alone, with pleasure and pain, like thorns on a rose,

Claiming and asserting one's own space on straightforward paths. Balancing concealed emotions with a visible identity. Moving forward independently, experiencing both pleasure and pain akin to thorns on a rose.


questioned reps, left open ended, know ur place, and don’t overstep it, depth, of first impressions, can hold it down, like epoxy resin,

Being cautious with reputation, avoiding open-ended situations. Understanding one's place and not crossing boundaries. Acknowledging the impact of first impressions, which can be as enduring as epoxy resin.


the cost of repping, is stepping up to ur name, but the games so deep it could lead to a grave, no pain, no gain, veins to the heart, to the spark in ur name,

The cost of representing oneself is stepping up to one's name, even if it leads to risky situations. Emphasizing the idea that without pain, there is no gain, connecting veins to the heart and the spark of one's identity.


don’t bask in glassy, half full of shame, bask in a glass, half full of faith, lane change, over take, with a nova Cain, straight poker face,

Avoiding complacency and shame, instead embracing faith and confidence. Changing lanes, overtaking obstacles with a stoic expression, like a poker face.


working angles, in ur circle of mates, no curving in my vertebrae, I’m keeping it straight, taking turf, to earn my take, I got purpose in my veins, like I’m flirting with H,

Strategizing within one's social circle, maintaining a straight path without deviation. Claiming territory to earn one's rewards, expressing a sense of purpose akin to flirting with danger.


own up, let them know, no love, set the tone, keep an enemy close, at home base, cause those that you know can bring the most pain,

Owning up to actions, expressing indifference, and setting the tone for the relationship. Keeping potential adversaries close in familiar surroundings, recognizing that those close can cause the most harm.


own up, let them know, no love, set the tone, keep an enemy close, in ur circle, cause those in the zone can be the most hurtful,

Reiterating the importance of owning up and setting the tone without love. Keeping potential threats within one's circle, acknowledging that those in the inner circle can be the most hurtful.


we aint mates, like fingers to fan blade, aint changed, given it damb straight, on a campaigne for the hand made, so put the hand brake on the hand shake,

Rejecting close associations with others, emphasizing consistency and directness. Campaigning for handmade authenticity and cautioning against the vulnerability of a handshake.


enemies close too feel the heat in the friction, ignition increases degrees of admission, surround, and weed out positions, straight up and down, like bi-polar conditions,

Keeping enemies close to feel the tension and potential conflict. Igniting situations increases the level of admission and forces a selection of positions. Drawing parallels with bipolar conditions in terms of straightforwardness.


ur lost in goss, dogs and dobbers, lost in plots, double entendres, spots of bother, deeper than you think, a chains no stronger then the weak link,

Highlighting the dangers of gossip, betrayal, and intricate plots. Stating that a chain is only as strong as its weakest link.


ur pre mixed, I step to the plate and take mine, so we aint the same kind, ur another word for a canine, drunk on goss, that came through the grapevine,

Rejecting conformity, asserting individuality, and distancing from those resembling a canine. Dismissing rumors and gossip as influences from unreliable sources.


it takes time, to walk the faint line, but open jaws, and fall from great heights, frauds, force personas, cubic zirconia’s on madam tussauds,

Emphasizing the challenges of walking a fine line. Warning about the consequences of open discussions and the potential for a fall from grace. Criticizing false personas and likening them to fake statues.


aint killed me yet, so I guess I’m stronger, like a pill press, compresses product, respect, is my guest of honor, kept in check, left prosper

Expressing resilience and strength, comparing personal growth to a pill press. Recognizing respect as an esteemed guest and maintaining a sense of control and balance.
