Lyrics
T’s like walking on a burnt bridge
Comparing the feeling to navigating a damaged relationship or situation.
All them years i ain’t learn shit
Reflecting on a lack of personal growth over many years.
City like a furnace i be
Describing the city as intense and hot, possibly symbolizing struggle.
Seekin out my purpose
Actively searching for one's purpose or meaning in life.
Hard to read me like some cursive
Expressing difficulty in understanding or interpreting oneself.
Stress put me thru the worst shit New burden
Stressful experiences leading to carrying new emotional weight.
Stepping over serpents never nervous
Successfully navigating challenges without feeling afraid.
Sweeter when you earned it
Accomplishments feel sweeter when they are earned through hard work.
Put the work in deeper than the surface
Investing effort beyond surface appearances or superficiality.
Birds chirpin while the world turning
Life continues amidst both natural and worldly changes.
Opened up the curtains squintin in the sun
Emerging from isolation or seclusion into a more exposed state.
Sippin till i’m numb
Using substances to numb emotional pain.
Need little bit of a love
Yearning for affection or care from others.
Why these niggas giving up
Questioning why others seem to give up easily.
Slipping till my niggas pick me up
Dependent on friends for support during tough times.
When the kid was in a rut wasn’t nobody there
Feeling abandoned or alone during hardships.
Devil in my ear but i stay aware
Resisting negative influences or temptations.
Niggas scary they be moving out of fear
Noticing others' actions driven by fear.
Reason i be moving wit my peers
Choosing to stick with trusted companions for safety.
Hindsight make it clear when
Understanding situations better after they have passed.
The foresight lack
Recognizing a lack of foresight or anticipation in the past.
Look back, perusing the facts
Reviewing and examining past experiences for insights.
True to the path even when it twist
Remaining true to one's chosen path despite difficulties.
Kept it solid when my pride got chipped
Maintaining integrity even when pride is damaged.
In the pit, had to climb out
Being in a difficult situation and working to overcome it.
Took time just to find routes
Taking time to discover viable solutions or paths forward.
Had to climb out
Reiterating the struggle to overcome difficulties.
Took time just to find routes
Continuing to search for viable paths forward.
Takin small steps
Embracing slow progress rather than rushing.
Trippin trippin i ain't fall yet
Experiencing stumbles but not completely falling yet.
More time, more stress
Feeling increased stress over an extended period.
