SIKE
Sike: Unveiling Dualities, Embracing Freedom
Lyrics
(Yeah, I got, uh, yeah)
Expressing confidence and acknowledgment (Yeah, I got, uh, yeah)
All these people listenin', cause my voice so pretty
People pay attention because of the appealing voice
Told them all, didn't believe none
Declared intentions to others, faced skepticism
Now they sendin' that fake love to me
Receiving insincere love now that success is apparent
Left me on read in February, now he messages
Ignored in February, now getting messages
Thinking 'bout opportunities, bitch, I got that fuck you money
Confident about financial independence
Only take a job if I want it, business diversified
Choosy about jobs, diversified in business
Now I flaunt it, I play two characters you don't even know
Playing dual roles, undisclosed to the public
And I love it, yeah, it's mine, breathin' apparatus, like I'm in a line
Ownership and control over life, metaphorical reference to breathing apparatus
It's daunting character so big I gotta act the part
Character is significant and requires acting
Keepin' everything accounted for, don't need any can of worms, uh
Meticulous in managing everything, avoiding complications
Open it, what's inside? She lookin' like a snack and a half on my lap
Temptation represented as a desirable entity
So I might just slide, I might just pie, sike, she so American-like
Not succumbing to temptation, sarcastically mentioning American stereotypes
Big mac, coke, and a fry, 'fore the work, she was a five
Reference to a woman's attractiveness before success
(Yeah her doctor a good guy)
Comment on the doctor being a good person
Couldn't get caught like that, never in my life
Avoiding compromising situations
Worked so hard, just to lose half, sound so nice
Hard work not resulting in expected gains
Yeah, right, few bad bounces turn me to a bad guy
Unexpected negative turn, portraying a negative image
Ain't out here savin' these hoes 2014 Forest Hills Drive Cole
Not engaging in rescuing others, referencing J. Cole
Disappear to the dead of night, after she drop clothes
Disappearing after intimacy, followed by a sarcastic "sike!"
I say "sike!" (sike!)
Sarcastically negating the previous statement
All these people listenin', cause my voice so pretty
Reiteration of people's attention due to a captivating voice
Told them all, didn't believe none
Reaffirmation of declared intentions despite initial skepticism
Now they sendin' that fake love to me
Continued insincere admiration
Left me on read in February, now he messages
Previous ignorance now replaced by interest
Thinking 'bout opportunities, bitch, I got that fuck you money
Confident about financial independence, sarcastically considering job offers
Only take a job if I want it (sike!), business diversified
Reiteration of being selective in business
Now I flaunt it, I play two characters you don't even know
Emphasizing the undisclosed dual roles played
And I love it, yeah, it's mine, breathin' apparatus, like I'm in a line
Ownership and control over life, using a metaphorical breathing apparatus
It's daunting character so big I gotta act the part
Character is significant and requires acting
Keepin' everything accounted for, don't need any can of worms, uh
Maintaining control, avoiding complications
(Sike!)
Sarcastic repetitions of "sike!"
(Sike!)
-(Sike!)
-(Sike!)
-(Say sike!)
