Lyrics
Yeah
Expressing affirmation or agreement
We gona take a sharp left turn
Indicating a significant change in direction or focus
Very sharp
Emphasizing the sharpness of the turn
Stay with us
Inviting the listener to continue on the journey
Me that's us
Emphasizing a sense of unity or togetherness
Ah yeah
Expression of affirmation or agreement
Bheka ai
Interjection expressing a look or attention
See I grew up in a place where everybody that surrounded me
Describing the artist's upbringing in a challenging environment
Ain't never had a thing to call their own bra
Highlighting the lack of possessions among the community
A bunch of screw ups in a race where acting gully meant you won
Commenting on the competitive nature of the environment
You're number one if you never stayed sober
Suggesting that staying intoxicated is a form of success
Beer bottles on the street use the crates as the seats
Describing a scene with discarded beer bottles and makeshift seats
When the girls pass ask if they can loan us
Referencing the struggle to impress or attract girls
Because a beer is all we need for the demon that's within
Explaining the use of alcohol to cope with inner demons
The less we see ain't nobody else can hold us
Asserting independence and resilience in the face of challenges
This is wrong and we knew it and we know it still we did it
Admitting awareness of wrongdoing but still proceeding
Yeah we waited knowing that it never showed up
Acknowledging a prolonged anticipation with no results
And when it did it was a glimpse
Describing a fleeting and unsatisfactory glimpse of success
Got dismissed fuck this shit
Expressing frustration and dismissal of the situation
Why build it pass that castle lite over
Questioning the value of building beyond immediate pleasures
And grown folk go to church
Observing the contrast between adult behavior and the reality of the youth
Like these kids is cursed
Commenting on the perceived curse on the lives of the youth
Say a prayer ai no there's no hope la
Expressing despair and lack of hope
Because the devil is alive and well
Stating the presence and influence of negative forces
And he built his hell in this place we called the corner
Describing the challenging environment as a metaphorical corner
