Lyrics
Light a match, let it burn
Metaphorically ignite a situation and let it unfold.
Smell the essence of exquisite herbs
Experience the scent of high-quality herbs.
We are all products of the earth
Recognizing that we all come from the earth.
Just to grow we need a little dirt
Growth requires going through challenges (symbolized by dirt).
When you're winning they pay attention
People pay attention when you're successful.
When your're walking through the struggle they'll never mention ya
In difficult times, your struggles may go unnoticed.
Keep the grass real low so you can see the snakes
Keep a close eye on your surroundings to identify deceitful individuals.
Now that you've been through the fire you know what it takes
After overcoming challenges, you understand what it takes to succeed.
Count 'em out, line 'em up, knock 'em down
Face challenges, overcome them, and persevere.
Even when they expect you to fall
Even when others expect you to fail, prove them wrong.
A flag at a half stand means nothing at all
A flag at half-staff (symbol of mourning) may be meaningless.
Stare through my Balenciagas, sipping on Henny
Observing life luxuriously, remaining resilient.
I swear to God nothing can break or bend me
Confident that nothing can break or weaken the spirit.
What you know about Basquiats or riding Bentleys
Reference to Basquiats (art) and luxurious living.
Who are you to judge
Questioning the right to judge others.
In this city of love
Despite love, the city is a challenging place.
When we're only just American dreaming
America is seen as a place of dreams, but challenges persist.
When we're only just American dreaming
-When we're only just American dreaming
-What's giants when you know you've got just one stone to throw
Even facing giants (challenges), you only need one solution.
You gotta fight
Encouragement to fight when faced with difficulties.
When you're hungry for it all
Persistently pursue your goals when you hunger for success.
You know you got an appetite
Expressing a strong desire for achievement.
Nothing's fair when you play in this game of war
Life is not fair, especially in a metaphorical war.
Can't be scared, face it, head on, buckle up
Confront challenges directly and be prepared.
Want my position, then prepare for the collision
Those aspiring for success should be ready for challenges.
Count 'em out, line 'em up, knock 'em down
Repeat of the theme of facing challenges and overcoming them.
Even when they expect you to fall
Even when expected to fail, defy expectations.
A flag at a half stand means nothing at all
A lowered flag may signify loss but can be insignificant.
Stare through my Balenciagas sipping on Henny
Viewing life confidently while enjoying luxuries.
I swear to God nothing can break or bend me
Reiteration of inner strength and resilience.
If you're not with me now
If not supportive, then considered opposition.
Then you're against me
A stance emphasizing the need for support.
Who are you to judge
Raising questions about the right to judge.
In this city of love
Even in a city of love, challenges persist.
When we're only just American dreaming
Repetition of the idea that America represents dreams, but challenges exist.
When we're only just American dreaming
-When we're only just American dreaming
