Lyrics
Fight, fights
Reference to conflicts or struggles
Trouble, trouble in the streets
Highlighting unrest or issues in society
Fight, fights
Reiteration of conflicts or struggles
Why I got 'em stressing?
Raising the question of why others are stressed because of the speaker
Mama showed me, walk the earth and still blessing
Reflecting on the guidance received from the speaker's mother to navigate life and still receive blessings
Why I walk on any turf and get respect
Expressing the ability to command respect in any environment
You the type to be coughing up your necklace
Describing someone who is vulnerable and likely to lose valuable possessions
Scrambled thoughts that I struggle to collect
Struggling to organize and make sense of one's thoughts
Never knew until you told me I was precious
Discovering one's worth after being informed by someone else
Long travel give me time to reflect
Using travel time for self-reflection
Talking to my genie 'bout a death wish
Discussing a conversation with a metaphorical genie about a desire for death
Got comfy with feeling the regret
Becoming accustomed to feeling regret
See nothing when I look into your message
Unable to find anything meaningful in the communication received
Bump me until I run into the check
Getting attention and recognition until a financial breakthrough
The first thing I'ma spend it on is essence
Expressing a desire to invest in something intangible or essential
Alcohol, we finish up my sentence
Alcohol being a reward for completing a sentence or phase
It's hard moving forward with regret
Struggling to move forward due to lingering regrets
Papa told me keep an eye on who you let in
Advice from the speaker's father to be cautious about associations
Don't be riding with some Gs you gotta question
Caution against aligning with individuals without questioning their motives
Yeah, yeah, can't hold me back
Asserting resilience against external constraints
You can't hold me back
Reiteration of the speaker's determination to resist limitations
I'm sweet as a lion tongue
Metaphorical comparison of the speaker's sweetness to a lion's tongue
And the streets is climbing above you, weaken mind into dump
Describing challenges in the streets as overpowering and affecting the weak-minded
You see, whining really can't compare to the love
Comparing love to complaining, emphasizing the speaker's reluctance to share with unworthy individuals
I ain't sharing my bud with niggas who clearly is slugs already
Refusing to share resources with those who are clearly deceitful or dangerous
Barely a part to pay me, scariest times I'm sharing
Discussing challenging times and the willingness to share despite fear
Carry a conversation, various compilations
Engaging in diverse conversations and dealing with various situations
And vary your observations, they have park to play in
Encouraging different perspectives and observations
Airy your wand to pay it, die like a berry on my
Metaphorical expression, possibly about facing challenges bravely
Brothers, they got the nation, and in that farm my patience
Referencing brothers and their influence on the speaker's patience
Sinners be lost and vacant, this energy odds are taking
Highlighting the impact of negative energy on individuals and their choices
Dark where the laws is breaking, part of my armor's placed
Describing a dark and lawless environment where rules are violated
The reason you are mistaken, watch when I get a bag
Clarifying misunderstandings and mistakes when the speaker achieves success
Shots in the cup 'cause the odds that it says that
Indicating celebration with shots in a cup due to defying odds
I see you with me sober, it's harder to mention that
Expressing the difficulty of mentioning sobriety when achieving success
The cards that you dealt was trash, but I promised to help you win
Reflecting on the challenges faced and the promise to assist others in winning
You was a helping hand
Recognition of someone who was supportive and helpful
(A part of my helping, pass 'em, bark in the zealous path)
Reference to the speaker's commitment to a specific path
