Slipping
Embracing Shadows: King Myles' Journey Through Struggle and Redemption
Lyrics
Slip, slip, slip
Repetition of "slip" signifies a continuous struggle or decline.
Slip, slipping on you
Continuation of the struggle, specifically slipping concerning someone or something.
(yeah, yeah)
Expression of agreement or acknowledgment.
You know I'm slipping, falling, I can't get up
Repeated acknowledgment of the artist's feeling of slipping and falling, emphasizing a sense of helplessness.
You know I'm slipping, falling, I can't get up
-You know I'm slipping
-Blow the smoke into the morning breeze
Reflecting on success and challenges, contemplating personal identity and uniqueness, but feeling incomplete.
Thinking 'bout how to make a milli out of forty G's
-I rocked a mansion out in Vegas they were more than pleased
-Screaming at the top of their lungs and acting disorderly
-Sheesh, I'm a marauder how I slaughter beats
-Sometimes I think it's all a dream and then I fall asleep
-Sometimes I think about my pops and I feel incomplete
-You gotta read between the lines I'm what you call unique, capeesh
-Ain't trying to hear it no more
Expressing a reluctance to hear or deal with certain things, seeking solace in substances when feeling low, and struggling with the passage of time.
You can find me getting high when my spirits get low
-Why the years fly by but the days go slow
-I want to leave it in the past but I can't let go
-Ain't trying to hear it no more
-You can find me getting high when my spirits get low
-Why the years fly by but the days go slow
-I want to leave it in the past but I can't let go
-Slip, slip, slip
Repetition of the theme of slipping, underlining the persistence of the artist's struggle or challenges.
Slip, slipping on you
-(yeah, yeah)
-You know I'm slipping, falling, I can't get up
-You know I'm slipping, falling, I can't get up
-You know I'm slipping
-I'm Makaveli in the polish deli
Identifying with Makaveli, the artist carries the weight of family responsibilities, using music as an outlet. Admitting vulnerability and the internal conflict.
I got my family on my back this shit is sorta heavy
-So I keep a couple flows to overload the levee
-I ain't no killer but don't tempt me
-Catch me 'cause I'm slipping, falling, I can't get up
-Knowing I might die from what's inside of my cup
-My mind is behind enemy lines ironic enough
-Iconic and rough, these demons keep on sizing me up, but so what
-Ain't tryna hear it no more
Reiteration of reluctance to engage with certain aspects of life, seeking escape in substances, and grappling with the passage of time and the inability to move on.
You can find me getting high when my spirits get low
-Why the years fly by but the days go slow
-I want to leave it in the past but I can't let go
-Ain't tryna hear it no more
-You can find me getting high when my spirits get low
-Why the years fly by but the days go slow
-I want to leave it in the past but I can't let go
