Vices
Unveiling Life's Dices: Michael Aristotle and JID's Sonic Odyssey
Lyrics
Lights please, lights please
Requesting lights and mic for attention, highlighting vices
Mic check, mic please vices, vices
Asking for mic, acknowledging vices and their presence
Dices roll with ease nose bleed, no sir
Referencing easy gambling, potential harm (nosebleeds)
Court side, sight please
Asking for attention to the court side
Court side, game time
Emphasizing being courtside during game time
Bless me I might sneeze ayy, ay, ay
Playfully anticipating a sneeze, using repetition for effect
Ok, ok, ok, ok ok, ok, ok, ok, ok, ay
Repetitive expression and affirmation
Ok, ok, ok ok, ay ok, ok, ok, ok, ok
-Came from my name I come from the land
Originating from a place and claiming identity
East side east side yeah that where I stand
Identifying with a specific side (East), a stance
Making my name my claim is the man
Establishing oneself as the figure of importance
Some shit has changed but never the plan
Recognizing changes but remaining true to the original plan
Do what I want, you do what you can
Asserting personal agency over actions
I was in Venice two feet in the sand
Recalling a time in Venice, a moment of leisure
Look at my seats I'm glad I can plan
Appreciating the acquired position and ability to plan
Young and I’m handsome it runs in the fam
Noting youth and attractiveness as familial traits
Family ay
Referencing family ties
Im love so Jim Jones with that reppin' time
Comparing oneself to Jim Jones, signifying loyalty
Talk shit she get stomped on
Indicating a tough stance if provoked
I'm a cute dog when it’s steppin' time
Metaphorically portraying oneself as a dog, a warning
New bottle of Hen dark
Referencing drinking and expensive jewelry
Tilt head back and take a shot
-These chains are off chain that's beat
-'cause I break the lock
-Mamma moved to New York
Discussing familial and personal struggles
Went back to smoking them Newport's
-My nigga see trap system holding him
-Back and he doing court
-Ain't nobody rap me happy I'm tryin'
Expressing a desire for happiness, seeking change
To change it and you notice
Noting the disparity between public and private perception
I got some women that say that
-They love me if you
-Asked them hoes they won’t know
-Where my show is
-That shit is fake, you don’t know me homie
Challenging the authenticity of others' perceptions
I want some bread, some macaroni
Expressing desires for success, discontent with current state
Build a castle be a fucking prince
-My Cinderella it don't exist
-No love for me on some hopeless shit
-Me magic, hocus pocus, been living all face
-So alone hard to cope with
Feeling alone despite professional success
Still a nigga make these hit's don’t flinch
-Lights please, lights please
Repetition and continuation of themes and expressions
Mic check, mic please vices, vices
-Dices roll with ease nose bleed, no sir
-Court side, sight please
-Court side, game time
-Bless me I might sneeze ayy, ay, ay
-Ok, ok, ok, ok ok, ok, ok, ok, ok, ay
-Ok, ok, ok ok, ay ok ok
-Yeah, uh huh, oh my god, oh my god
-Pull your card
-I've got time I'll pull your broad
-I know your type I know
-Your thoughts she'll go
-Hard but chill chill don’t go so hard
-I Beauregard without no regard
-I know the part, knee green like Bulbasaur
-Feed the team with no reward
-Four by one, no baton, fourth and one
-I ain't really looking for a
-Shoulder to lean on
-Got weed to lean on Bouldercrest
-I swear the swag is like Morgan freeman call
-The weed man tell him go to detention
-I cop and smoke the most expensive dope
-Bitch I am a player and a coach
-Swarm and swung I did a rope of dope and
-Knocked them out the ropes all in one motion
-LA court side kickin' it with Kobe
-Kicked out of college I
-Couldn't fuck with Adobe
-Tell a motherfucker for school I'ma make a
-Graduation anyways watch everybody know me
-Let me stop tooting my horn
-When she's blowin' me
-Y'all ready to leave cause shit's annoyin' me
-Later, fuck, shit, okay
-Lights please, lights please
-Mic check, mic please vices, vices
-Dices roll with ease nose bleed, no sir
-Court side, sight please
-Court side, game time
-Bless me I might sneeze ayy, ay, ay
-Ok, ok, ok, ok ok, ok, ok, ok, ok, ay
-Ok, ok, ok ok, ay ok, ok, ok, ok, ok
