This Ain't It
Navigating Life's Rules: A Reflection on Humanity in Miles Caton's 'This Ain't It'
Lyrics
Rule number one
Emphasizing the primary rule or guideline
Never turn your back on a friend that was there for ya
Advising against betraying a loyal friend
Rule number two
Introducing another rule
If I ever looked out or made sure then I cared for ya
Expressing care and concern for someone
Rule number three
Stating a third rule involving reciprocity
If you try and sneak me imma do the same thing that you doin to me
Promising retaliation if deceived
Probable they'd do impossible things just to keep you from being
People may attempt extreme actions to hinder understanding or perception
Just to keep you from seeing
Preventing someone from realizing the truth
That this world is crazy
Commenting on the chaotic nature of the world
And how two faced these people could be
Highlighting the duplicity of individuals
Can not disagree
Agreement with the previous statement
But we're all human I can't lie cuz
Admitting human fallibility
I been wild and I been childish man but this ain't it
Acknowledging past immature behavior
This ain't it
Reiteration that the current situation is not acceptable
Cuz I been wild and I been childish man but this ain't it
Reemphasizing dissatisfaction with the present state
No no
Confirmation that the situation is unsatisfactory
This ain't it
Restating dissatisfaction with the ongoing circumstance
Cuz I been wild and I been childish man but this ain't it
Reiterating the dissatisfaction
And it's sad now a days they do anything to try to get the bag
Observation of current tendencies prioritizing material gain over integrity
Even if it means integrity is left in the past
Highlighting the sacrifice of moral values for personal gain
Clout chasing on every corner it's getting bad
Noting the prevalence of seeking attention or fame
I could name a few things that I am working towards
Personal goals in progress
You could give me ten excuses why you ain't going for it
Contrasting personal efforts against potential excuses for inaction
Then you turn around and try to pray for an open door
Referencing seeking opportunities while simultaneously expecting divine intervention
Got it
Confirmation or understanding of a situation
Get it
Success in comprehending something
Did it
Achievement of a task
Done it
Completion of something
Now I'm in your face tryna confront you and you running
Confronting someone who is avoiding a situation
This is class 101 of stop fronting
Offering advice to stop pretending or being insincere
Yeah it's really insane
Expressing disbelief at a situation
But we're all human I can't lie
Reiteration of human fallibility
Cuz I been wild and I been childish man but this ain't it
Reiteration of past mistakes and acknowledgment of immaturity
This ain't it
Reconfirming dissatisfaction with the current state
Cuz I been wild and I been childish man but this ain't it
Reemphasizing the sentiment that the situation is unacceptable
This ain't it
Reiterating dissatisfaction with the ongoing circumstance
Cuz I been wild and I been childish man but this ain't it
Reaffirming the acknowledgment of past behavior
Cuz I been wild and I been childish man but this ain't it
Further emphasizing dissatisfaction with the present state
This ain't it
Reiteration that the current situation is not acceptable
Cuz I been wild and I been childish man but this ain't it
Reemphasizing dissatisfaction with the present state
