Big Sky
Chasing Dreams and Counting Green: Method Man's Big Sky Journey
Lyrics
Ayo I'm done committing crimes homey
Acknowledging the end of engaging in criminal activities
(I'm a star)
Expressing a sense of stardom or self-recognition
All I wanna do is shine homey (from afar)
Desire to shine or succeed from a distance
Get this money till we tired homey
Pursuing financial success until exhaustion
(picture that)
Suggesting to imagine such a scenario
I'll retire when we tired homey
Planning retirement from the hustle when fatigued
(bring it back)
Reiterating the desire to retire when tired
Uh what I write, fatality type
Referring to the lethal nature of his writing style
I keep it real but ya'll still reality bites
Despite keeping it real, facing the harshness of reality
Go ahead and call it what ya'll like
Encouraging others to label it as they wish, as long as the compensation is fair
Just get my salary right
Emphasizing the importance of fair payment for his work
I could tell em their paper thin
Noticing the thinness of others' authenticity
But that would be lie
Choosing not to expose their falsehood
Tell a Judas to never cross me
Advising against betrayal, drawing a parallel to Judas betraying Christ
Coz that would be Christ
Highlighting the severity of betrayal by likening it to Christ's crucifixion
We bout gettin millions with ice
Focused on accumulating wealth and luxury items
Yep that would be nice
Expressing the desire for a comfortable and affluent life
I ain't picturing peas with rice
Rejecting the idea of a modest lifestyle with simple food
What you see is the price
Stating that what is seen comes with a price
Word to SP with rights and a gangsta's lean
Acknowledging influence from the rapper SP and a gangster lifestyle
That's promethazine and Sprite
Referencing a drug mixture (promethazine and Sprite)
Go and live a day in the life
Challenging others to experience his challenging lifestyle
Lose your life for you ends
Warning about the dangers of loyalty to one's community
You could spend a day if you like
Suggesting that others could experience his life briefly
That's a privilege
Highlighting the exclusivity and privilege of his lifestyle
You see it like everyday if you white
Commenting on the racial disparities in society
Smoke trees like all I need is
Indulging in the recreational use of marijuana
Mary j in a life boy please
Rejecting the idea that only marijuana is needed in life
Pardon me it's like a fart in the breeze
Dismissing something as inconsequential, akin to a passing breeze
That's a benchmark
Referring to achieving a standard or reference point
Some players will never start in the league
Noting that some individuals may never achieve success in their field
Look at me, real MC gotta start and appease
Stressing the importance of authenticity for a real MC
Plus my maroon fives make
Referring to a specific type of sneakers (maroon fives)
It harder to breathe big Sky
Suggesting that his footwear makes breathing difficult, metaphorically
Ayo I'm done committing crimes homey
Repeating the acknowledgment of ending criminal activities
(I'm a star)
Reiterating a sense of stardom or self-recognition
All I wanna do is shine homey (from afar)
Repeating the desire to shine or succeed from a distance
Get this money till we tired homey
Repeating the pursuit of financial success until exhaustion
(picture that)
Reiterating the suggestion to imagine such a scenario
I'll retire when we tired homey
Reiterating the plan to retire from the hustle when fatigued
(bring it back)
Reiterating the call to bring back the acknowledgment of ending criminal activities
