Grandmotha Grave
Confessions in Shadows: The Desperate Dance of Hopelessness
Lyrics
Man, this, this one of them nights
Expressing a difficult or challenging night.
You know
Acknowledging understanding of the emotional state.
I be havin' good days
Mentioning alternating good and emotionally heavy days.
Then I be havin' days where it just hit me like a ton of bricks
Feeling weighed down suddenly, metaphorically like a ton of bricks.
Stay focused
Encouragement to remain focused despite challenges.
Out the mud, makin' runs in a lil' hotel
Reflecting on humble beginnings, making progress in a small hotel.
My dawg, one of my favorite ones, he don't wish me well
Acknowledging a friend's lack of support or good wishes.
Let someone else flip the coin, heads or tails
Suggesting letting fate decide outcomes, but cautioning against betrayal.
Would have turned him onto my yay, but he gon' kiss and tell
Refusing to involve a friend in illicit activities due to fear of betrayal.
But that's a bet
Asserting confidence in a bet or decision.
Main man can't handle his excitement
Noting someone's inability to handle excitement.
Fallin', we can play around, but I can't stay 'til the light hit
Accepting temporary enjoyment but emphasizing a need to leave before consequences.
Three strikes, then you swing out, go 'head say goodbye, love
Referring to consequences in a risky lifestyle, possibly legal troubles.
This life, love, it's light love, goodbye, love
Reflecting on the fleeting nature of love and life.
I ain't been dealin' with entities, move a lil' differently, really be pilin' it up
Avoiding negative influences, focusing on personal growth.
Intimate dealin' continually, given' me energy, she finna power me up
Gaining strength from intimate connections, finding energy.
I took a lil' trip with a free heart, and open mind changed overnight
Undergoing a transformative journey with an open heart and mind.
Relationships on the wrong side, left old friends on the road side
Making difficult choices in relationships, leaving old friends behind.
Giddy up, say, whoa now, Breadwinner can't slow down
Expressing determination to keep moving forward as a breadwinner.
Swear I feel it in my soul right now, spinnin' out of control right now
Feeling a sense of chaos and lack of control in life.
Prayers for innocent women and men, the way they corrupted the case
Offering prayers for those affected by corruption and injustice.
I'm makin' plans for business, I get it again, distributed it back in the safe
Planning for business success and ensuring security.
The warrant had hit, big brother had one on the run, and the doc reconstructed his face
Recalling a past incident involving a family member and legal issues.
Know that I'm plugged with a couple of federal judges, and they won't deny me, I'm Gates
Asserting influence and connections with legal figures.
I had to plow through the roughage, I cried and I suffered, then I elevated in rank
Overcoming challenges, evolving, and gaining rank in life.
I know my grandmotha love me, I come out the gutter, I put a lil' smile on her face
Expressing love and pride from a grandmother's perspective.
I had got tired of her sufferin', finally recoverin', kinda wish she would have stayed
Wishing for relief from a grandmother's suffering but accepting her passing.
I can't retire from hustlin', a lot of new customers, I'm in here grindin' with weight
Refusing to retire from a hustling lifestyle, dealing with new challenges.
Seem like the world used to love me, now all of a sudden they got a problem with Gates
Feeling a shift in public opinion, facing criticism.
I really feel like you bluffin', that shit don't mean nothin', I know that a lot of them fake
Distrusting others, especially those who may be fake.
I could put that in oven, the touch of a button and all of the product on bake
Confidently handling illicit activities with ease.
I must be guided by somethin', I'm kind of reluctant, and I don't got nothin' to say
Expressing hesitation despite confidence and success.
How 'bout we get off the subject, I'm already coveted, I got a cut on the play
Redirecting the conversation away from personal matters.
How 'bout I do my lil' dougie, the junkies they love me, the way I be pumpin' the bass
Playfully engaging with fans and embracing his popularity.
She know how I do my lil' other, and she went to crushin', the way I be cuffin' her waist
Describing a personal relationship and its dynamics.
We used to cuddle, when I used to cuddle, she comfortable, she only come for the cake
Recollecting past intimacy and its connection to materialism.
She go to gruntin' when under the covers, I'm thrustin' that lumber inside of her place
Describing physical intimacy with a partner.
I used to like when your body on top of me, though we'll never be nothin' again
Recalling past physical closeness but acknowledging it won't happen again.
It's not a day that go by, when you look deep inside, that you know that you made a mistake
Reflecting on a regretful decision and its impact.
I know we'd never be nothin' again, that's on my grandmotha grave
Swearing on his grandmother's grave that a past relationship won't be rekindled.
That's on my grandmotha grave (my grandmotha grave, real talk)
Reiterating the solemn promise on his grandmother's grave in different ways.
That's on my grandmotha grave (abuelita)
-That's on my grandmotha grave (abuelita)
-That's on my grandmotha grave
-And that's on my grandmotha grave (abuelita)
-Grandmotha grave
Concluding with a final mention of his grandmother's grave.
