Lyrics
Hey-oh, hey-oh, hey-ey-oh
Expression of enthusiasm or a rallying cry
Hey-oh, hey, that hey-oh, hey-oh, hey
Continued expression of enthusiasm
Hey-oh, hey-oh (let's go)
Encouragement to start or move forward
Hey-oh (alright)
Confirmation or agreement
Hey-oh, hey-oh, hey (alright, lets go)
Positive affirmation to proceed
Hey-oh, hey-oh (let's go)
Reiteration of encouragement
East side, west side, we ride, we die all for this
Commitment to a territorial loyalty despite challenges
Oh my, my, I know why I can't fall for this
Acknowledgment of understanding reasons not to get involved
All my life I tried, I cried, got pride in this
Recognition of effort, tears shed, and pride in it
All my life I'd hide, I stayed inside for this
Past behavior of hiding or isolating oneself for a purpose
Tell me what you know about forty days, forty nights
Reference to enduring hardship for a prolonged period
No lights, all for this
Sacrifice made for a specific goal or purpose
Tell me what you know about sleeping outside, no ride in the wintertime all for this
Enduring discomfort and lack of resources for a cause
Tell me what you know about commas in the bank
Achieving financial success and reflecting on it
Lookin' in the mirror, yeah, I did all of this
Self-recognition of accomplishments and experiences
Tell me what you know about family never there but swear they deserve all of this
Commentary on absent familial support despite perceived entitlement
Tell me what you know about people tryna test you
Encounter with challenges and attempts to avoid involvement
Don't wanna get involved with this
Desire to avoid confrontations or complications
X you out, you get solved with this
Implying consequences for those who create problems
Never, but I gotta evolve with this
Acceptance of the necessity to adapt and grow
Like bitch I bet I be at the place I said I'd be
Confidence in fulfilling promises or commitments
Legendary like No I.D
Aspiration to achieve a legendary status
You know I be duckin' every ho I see
Avoiding distractions or unnecessary encounters
'Cause I'm out of this world, and I know I be like
Confident in being extraordinary or exceptional
East side, west side, we ride, we die all for this
Reiteration of commitment to territorial loyalty
Oh my, my, I know why I can't fall for this
Understanding reasons not to get involved
All my life I tried, I cried, got pride in this
Recognition of effort, tears shed, and pride in it
All my life I'd hide, I stayed inside for this
Past behavior of hiding or isolating oneself for a purpose
Living as a black man, in the skin of the white man
Struggle of identity and societal perceptions
Everybody wanna fight man, and I put it on my right hand
Desire for peace despite facing conflicts
Goddamn, it's all for this
Wish for positive change in the world
I just wanna make the world a better place
Rejecting racial divisions and prejudice
Fuck race and the shade in my face
Frustration with racial discrimination
Looking for the sun but the shade in my face
Struggling to find positivity amidst adversity
Best in my field, I'm a slave to the race
Feeling bound by societal expectations related to race
Black motherfucker, white motherfucker
Indifference to racial differences
I don't give a damn what you is, can you write motherfucker?
Focus on talent and skill regardless of race
Said I couldn't do it, said I wouldn't do it
Defying expectations and achieving success
I just made a million in a month, aight motherfucker?
Boasting about rapid financial success
I did everything I said I'd ever do and to you I still ain't shit?
Expressing frustration at lack of recognition despite achievements
Alright motherfucker
Defiance in the face of criticism or doubt
Runnin' around the world yelling P-L-P
Advocating for positivity, peace, and love
But as a last resort, we gon' fight motherfucker like
Willingness to confront challenges if necessary
East side, west side, we ride, we die all for this
Commitment to territorial loyalty despite challenges
Oh my, my, I know why I can't fall for this
Acknowledgment of understanding reasons not to get involved
All my life I tried, I cried, got pride in this
Recognition of effort, tears shed, and pride in it
All my life I'd hide, I stayed inside for this
Past behavior of hiding or isolating oneself for a purpose
