Lyrics
Yeah, yeah yeah, yeah
Expression of agreement or acknowledgement.
Uh, yeah uh
Repetition of agreement or affirmation.
Yeah yeah
Continuation of expressive agreement.
Couldn't tie me in
Feeling of freedom, unable to be restrained.
Spring cleanin' puttin' pollen in my sinuses
Engaging in a cleansing process associated with spring, metaphorically affecting the artist's well-being.
Shadowboxing in the mirror couldn't
Engaging in self-reflection, possibly with a confrontational aspect.
Find a spliff i thought niggas was my
Difficulty in finding a joint, questioning the loyalty of supposed friends.
Brothers bad alliances why is it
Reflecting on harmful alliances and questioning their existence.
Bridges burn as if they like to swim
Metaphorical burning of bridges, suggesting a willingness to cut ties.
Time it bend
Reflection on the flexibility of time.
Spending minutes feelin triumphant
Feeling of accomplishment in spending time wisely.
You know it's only what it was
Recognition that the present is the reality, not dwelling on what could have been.
Not what it might have been
Encouragement to persevere and try again after setbacks.
Try again, knock me down I always try again
Emphasizing resilience and the ability to rise after being knocked down.
Yeah it's funny we was shinin'
Reflecting on past success and its potential impact on others.
Guess it blinded them
Acknowledging that success may lead to envy or negative reactions from others.
Crown Heights we on the corner
Locational reference, potentially indicating a specific neighborhood.
Like a light offense my ascent
Comparing presence on the street corner to a minor offense, highlighting the artist's ascent.
Put my heart in every kite I sent
Investing emotion and effort in personal messages or communication.
Knеw they had to come correct
Awareness of the need for authenticity, prompting others to respect the artist.
That’s why thеy writing checks
Recognition of the artist's value, leading to financial compensation.
They know Donny been a starter
Asserting a history of active participation, not sitting on the sidelines.
He can’t ride the bench
Insistence on the artist's readiness and capability.
Heard your story had to
Learning about someone's experiences, possibly gossip or rumors.
Play the smallest violin
Minimizing the significance of someone else's problems or complaints.
Sycophants, switching gears like we cycling
Describing people who change allegiances opportunistically, comparing it to cycling.
Up the hill
Observing events from a high vantage point.
I watched it happen from the highest cliff
Witnessing unexpected occurrences, potentially negative or challenging situations.
More than you could imagine
Experiencing more than anticipated, possibly in terms of adversity.
It be the ones you love who will
Warning about the potential betrayal by those close to the artist.
Leave you or push you backwards
Recognizing that loved ones may turn against the artist.
Reading my old messages
Reviewing past communications, identifying recurring themes or behaviors.
Funny to see the patterns
Finding amusement in recognizing predictable patterns.
Don't let 'em make you panic
Encouraging composure and resilience in the face of challenges.
They wanna see your reaction
Advising against reacting impulsively to provocations.
Unpacking, what's underneath all the baggage?
Exploring and confronting emotional baggage and its origins.
Look at your family tree the
Examining familial connections and uncovering hidden truths.
Discovery in the branches
Discovering revelations within the family tree.
When it all falls down watch how they vanish
Anticipating the disappearance of support when facing difficulties.
When it all falls down, watch how theyyeah
Reflecting on the aftermath of challenges and observing reactions.
Yeah yeah
Repetition of acknowledgment or agreement.
