Lyrics
When did I become so numb
Reflecting on a personal emotional numbness
When did I lose myself
Expressing a sense of losing one's identity
All the words I leave my tongue
Words spoken feel disconnected from self
Feel like they came from someone else
Suggesting a lack of authenticity in communication
I'm paralyzed
Describing a state of emotional paralysis
Where are my feelings
Questioning the whereabouts of personal feelings
I no longer feel things I know I should
Not feeling emotions that are expected
I'm paralyzed
Reiterating the feeling of being emotionally paralyzed
Where is the real me
Searching for the authentic self
I'm lost and it kills me
Feeling lost and the emotional impact
Inside
Internal struggle and emotional pain
I grip my shank tight like I'm gripping on a wheel
Metaphorical comparison of gripping a shank to gripping a wheel
I'm a snake, I eat rats, Ill slither fore I squeal
Identifying as a snake, emphasizing cunning and survival
My shorty, man, she miss me, baddies tryna kiss me
Reference to personal relationships and loyalty
They don't even know the day-to-day gets risky
Acknowledging the inherent risks in daily life
Hold tight, mumzy, man, she really tried her best
Appreciation for maternal support
Safe to say, I really wanted more
Expressing a desire for more in life
So I stepped outside like what's good in the ends
Stepping outside one's comfort zone
You was probably inside, you was tryna make your bed
Assuming others were preoccupied with personal matters
I was frontline, I was tryna get a check
Being proactive in pursuing financial gains
Ingredients for the bread, yeast, flour, no eggs
Listing ingredients for success, metaphorically for life
Sugar, water, mix it down, man, you know the rest
Reiterating the process of achieving success
Picture man by the cling film, ace by the Rex
Depicting a scene with a person involved in illicit activities
Utes violated and robbed our pack
Recalling an incident of violation and retaliation
It's calm though in blood, we got that back
Expressing resilience in the face of adversity
We're ultra attacking, you can't stop that akh
Asserting dominance and determination
You take something from us, we take something right back
Emphasizing a reciprocal approach to conflicts
Age 16, school with a .22
Recalling a significant event from adolescence
Hopping off arriva in the ends, yeah, like who's who
Describing a scene of identity confusion
Or, who's on who, though
Pondering interpersonal dynamics
One time I lacked outside school bro
Narrating a personal confrontation outside of school
Had to wrestle man like Sumo
Using a metaphor of wrestling to describe a physical struggle
New pack, Just-in, Trudeau
Introducing a new element (Just-in, Trudeau) into the narrative
It's chess, not checkers, this ain't Blackjack or Uno
Emphasizing the strategic nature of life
Baddies say I'm too cold, uh
Acknowledging personal attractiveness and confidence
You better go on your knees, if not, you better move ho
Suggesting a submissive attitude or potential consequences
When did I become so numb
Repeating the theme of emotional numbness
When did I lose myself
Reiterating the sense of losing oneself
All the words I leave my tongue
Repetition of feeling disconnected in communication
Feel like they came from someone else
Repeating the idea of words feeling unauthentic
I'm paralyzed
Recalling the state of emotional paralysis
Where are my feelings
Asking for the whereabouts of personal feelings
I no longer feel things
Stating the absence of emotional experiences
I no longer feel things
Repeating the theme of emotional numbness
