Flies on Shit
Unveiling the Price of Control in 'Flies on Shit'
Lyrics
Yeah I know
Acknowledgment of awareness
you’re a killer on the road
Addressing someone as a dangerous individual on the road
keep your hands where we can see em
Advising to keep hands visible, implying caution
save your suits and sudden movements for the courts
Suggesting to reserve formal attire and sudden actions for legal proceedings
yeah I know
Reiteration of understanding
if you take it nice and slow, you won’t get what you want
Suggesting a slow and careful approach to avoid undesired consequences
and when you do, you will be halfway out the door
Anticipating that success may lead to a hasty exit
but when the check comes you’ll see
Highlighting the eventual realization of hidden costs
there’s a price you pay to put folks on their knees
Emphasizing the price paid to assert control over others
control is never cheap
Stating that control comes with a high cost
when the bill comes you’ll know
Warning that consequences will become evident when the bill arrives
there’s blood that runs through what you think you own
Connecting ownership to the presence of blood, suggesting a darker side
and just wait until it flows
Hinting at consequences that intensify over time
Yeah I heard
Confirmation of having heard something
you won’t take back a word
Claiming that words spoken won't be retracted
you meant it cause you said it
Emphasizing the sincerity of spoken words, despite consequences
but your mouth is writing checks your ass can’t cash
Warning against making promises or statements that cannot be fulfilled
yeah it’s true
Acknowledging a lack of truth in the person being addressed
there’s nothing true in you
Expressing skepticism about the authenticity of the individual
and the silver spoon you’re fed with is just a gathering ground
Comparing a privileged upbringing to a breeding ground for deception
for flies on so much shit
Metaphorically associating privilege with attracting undesirable elements
