Everything is Everything
Life's Chess Game: A Journey Through Ups and Downs
Lyrics
cy, cy, Look, cy
Introduction and emphasis on "cy" (possibly a name or abbreviation) for attention.
I said Life moves on,
Acknowledgment that life continues.
I was wondering how I'd write this song,
The artist contemplates the process of creating this song.
I'm tryna get right but the night so long,
Expressing the challenge of staying on the right path despite the long and difficult night.
Tryna keep my money tight when that price is wrong,
Struggling to manage finances when faced with unfavorable circumstances.
If you know your worth then it's worth that fight and muhfucka,
Highlighting the importance of recognizing one's own value and fighting for it.
I ain't backing down for a second,
Determination and refusal to back down.
Checking Chase I didn't have a penny in my checkings,
Financial difficulties, checking a bank account with no funds.
How much time you spent playing victim, second guessing?
Questioning the time spent on playing the victim and second-guessing decisions.
Feel like the world is ending, look how tough your armor getting,
Facing challenges that make one's armor stronger, possibly referring to personal growth.
Could have a flight out to Tijuan, they mashing them steel drums,
Imagery of a journey to Tijuana with steel drums, suggesting a vibrant experience.
cnd if you not a shooter probably screaming Hallelu-,
Reference to potential violence and a contrast with a spiritual exclamation.
I'm like it is what it is, but this aint what you want,
Acceptance of the current situation with a hint of resignation.
and don't you hate when all that corny shit be kinda true?
Acknowledgment of uncomfortable truths and clichés.
I got the lil homie tryna gimme guidance on some Hillary Duff shit, Some life can get rough shit, uhh
Receiving guidance from someone younger on life's challenges, referencing Hillary Duff as a symbol of innocence.
They was silent when a nigga was suicidal been testing my luck shit, Some stuck in the mud shit,
Reflection on a past period of silence and testing one's luck, facing difficulties stuck in a challenging situation.
Stick ya hand out and all them niggas reluctant, but when you think about it it ain't all of a sudden,
Observation of hesitation from others when seeking help, emphasizing the gradual nature of change.
This ain't the kinda life that most you niggas could stomach, I been living life backwards on my Benjamin Button, yeah
Life described as unconventional and challenging, with a nod to the movie "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button."
For some of y'all that's the move I guess, Sounding like a lose-lose process,
Commentary on life choices, suggesting a lose-lose situation for some.
(Most of y'all sore losers)
Sarcastic remark about sore losers.
Fuck around and pull my tricep, last call I'm on my homestretch,
Possible physical strain and a reference to the final moments of an event.
Learned a nigga had to move like Chess, trade the Liq for smoke up in my chest,
Learning strategic moves in life, swapping drinking for smoking.
Lemme chill nigga, I digress the only question is, What's What's next?
Reflecting on the past but focusing on the future, expressing uncertainty.
Can't even pretend,
Acknowledging emotional pain and the difficulty of pretending it doesn't hurt.
Like that shit didn't hurt a little,
Expressing a desire to be heard and understood.
I wanna be heard a little,
Reinforcing the need for acknowledgment and validation.
Treat me like I'm fragile even if my bones ain't brittle, Even if your promises fickle,
Desiring fragile treatment despite inner strength, recognizing the fickleness of promises.
Chalking up my sadness, VM's sound like nothing but dribble, DM's look like nothing but scribbles,
Describing the disregard for personal struggles in voicemails and direct messages.
cnd what I got to show for it?, In this big ol' world I feel little,
Reflecting on accomplishments and feeling insignificant in the vast world.
Just wanna be heard a little
Reiteration of the desire to be heard.
Know a nigga headstrong, shit I got a headcold,
Asserting mental strength despite challenges, possibly referencing a physical ailment.
They been taking shots at me, nigga still ain't dead though,
Surviving through adversity and facing criticism without succumbing.
Throwing up them gang signs, nigga still ain't bled though,
Symbolic gestures of resilience, resisting negative influences.
Bored of all the hangtime, need my baby 10 toe,
Expressing boredom with wasted time, longing for a meaningful connection.
Gold in all my pencil, show that I'm a mess bro,
Symbolism of imperfection, acknowledging personal flaws.
Midas well, fucking up everything I can touch yo,
Embracing chaos and disruption, possibly in pursuit of personal growth.
So I just, welcome
Final line, suggesting acceptance of the consequences of one's actions.
