*Talking In The Background*

Talking In The Background


Uh

Expressing a sense of uncertainty or contemplation

The streets of my city be gritty

Describing the harsh and tough nature of the city streets

Young niggaz pack plenty, and ain't never show no pity

Highlighting the prevalence of violence among young individuals without remorse

Many die on streets of concrete, blasted from the heat

Referring to deaths on the streets caused by gunfire, emphasizing the brutality

From under the seat, niggaz just tryin' to make ends meat

Describing the desperate measures people take to survive and make money

Trying to eat, day to day livin' with no religion

Portraying a life without a moral or religious foundation

Luxury cars, and this money got my full attention

Expressing a strong focus on materialistic pursuits, particularly wealth and luxury cars

School teachers and the preachers don't know what to teach us

Criticizing the inadequacy of traditional authorities to guide or educate

They don't get a second look without them ghetto features

Noting that physical appearance often determines societal value

Created so the non pigmentated rated

Commenting on racial categorization and stereotyping

Pornographic caught they children learn the words and say it

Addressing the impact of explicit content on children

Save the monsters, but don't nobody know the lord

Calling for attention to spiritual matters amid societal chaos

Status depends on the baddest shit you can afford

Linking social status to material possessions

And look at me I'm in the middle of the confusion

Expressing personal confusion in the midst of societal issues

Crime in my blood and I need a transfusion

Acknowledging a criminal influence in the speaker's background

Take it how you want to take it

Asserting a blunt and straightforward attitude

I gotta twist and break it

Expressing the need to confront and reshape one's reality

Make it shine to distinguish from the ones who fake it

Highlighting the importance of authenticity and genuine success

and if it comes out raw, and uncontrollable

Emphasizing the unpredictable nature of life and success

Money's foldable, fuck a hip-hop quoteable

Rejecting the importance of being quoted in hip-hop culture

Nobody felt what I was feeling when I wrote this shit

Expressing a lack of understanding or connection with others regarding personal emotions

Broke this shit, but that ain't new so I can cope with this

Acknowledging challenges and difficulties but accepting them

Hope it get better for those who don't get a chance

Expressing hope for improvement for those who face adversity

To advance, and dig the shit I be saying

Encouraging listeners to understand and appreciate the speaker's message

You know what might make what I say a little clearer

Suggesting self-reflection as a means of clarity

If mothafuckers judge the one they see in the mirror

Encouraging individuals to judge themselves rather than others
