Endangered Species
Survival Symphony: Lou From Paradise & iNTeLL Unleash Raw Truth
Lyrics
I got fired from a job
Experiences job termination
day before I was bout to quit
Was about to quit the job the day before
Auschwitz, man on fire
Reference to Auschwitz, implying intense struggle or hardship
lemme pull out the spliff
Prepares to smoke a spliff (joint)
anywhere I been they goin
People follow him wherever he goes
remember the name
Encourages remembering his name
like you remember every member
Comparing fame to remembering every individual
who's confronted with fame
People confronted with fame
now explain just why
Asks why they pursue fame, possibly with negative consequences
we do this, sipping on lighter fluid
Engaging in risky behavior (sipping on lighter fluid)
how you doin
Greeting and checking on someone's well-being
How was your day I'm bout to ruin
Intending to ruin someone's day
that was just hating
Accusation of jealousy or envy
is now solutin, I be wit the nice kids
Positive change, now associating with "nice kids"
but I'm now the rudest, yeah
Transformation into a rude individual
me and iNTeLL got the Intel
Having information and awareness (Intel)
on where you stay at so I wish well
Wishing well for someone's location
fallin angel but I been fell, you do
Describing oneself as a fallen angel
door dash my name ring bells
Recognition and popularity (name rings bells)
Fishing change out the wishing well
Transforming luck (changing out the wishing well)
like Dontaé I done been to hell
Comparison to Dontaé, having experienced hell
and back, so react, get clapped
Encountering challenges and overcoming them
like you kiss and tell with twelve
Rejecting gossip or betrayal with twelve
we don't do that, concrete yeah
Adhering to principles (not engaging in betrayal)
we chew that, and wash it down
Enduring hardships (chewing concrete) and overcoming
with rebar, I piss on police cars
Defying authority or establishment (pissing on police cars)
Yeah, y'all are retards, tried telling y'all
Harshly criticizing others
each bar, pissn off the city balcony
Provoking the city and challenging distance
tryna see if I pee far, overnight the pack
Importing substances from California
from Cali cause man the P far
Referencing distance (P far) and substance origin
y'all gotta weak heart, I'll break it easy
Asserting ease in breaking others' hearts
take it easy, these lil boys love to hate me
Acknowledging hatred and criticism
but they hate to see me, wishing she my misses
Reveling in being disliked but desired
cause she rub me, I ain't a genie
Playful reference to being rubbed, not a genie
it ain't even really a stain, if I can take it easy
Minimizing mistakes or flaws
I won't even change to please me
Rejecting conformity for self-satisfaction
I tell these take a leave me
Asserting independence and self-worth
these rappers full of dread, they a Haitian beanie
Comparing dreadlocks to a Haitian beanie
No reservations, an eight of zee zee in your
No hesitation in consuming drugs
neighbors teepee, they claim to beat me
Asserting superiority and challenge to competition
but can't train to reach me, I aim the squeaky
Undeterred determination and precision
till they brains pouring out, all on the pavement
Graphic imagery of violent consequences
leaky, they making hits while we making feces
Contrasting artistic creation with waste
pay to see me, gorillas in the mist
Reference to the movie "Gorillas in the Mist" and endangered status
Endangered Species
Declares themselves as an endangered species
