Lyrics
Straight from out the town I was born at
Refers to coming from their hometown
Yung snorlax except y'all the ones sleeping go snort crack
Comparing themselves to being aware while others are unaware or ignorant, using wordplay ("snorlax" implies awareness, "sleeping" implies unawareness)
I was raw since back when i wore shaqs poor class
Talking about being talented even when they didn't have much (wearing Shaq shoes in poor circumstances)
Rap along to nelly Air Force ones like we could afford that
Recalling a time when they couldn't afford luxury items like Nelly's Air Force One shoes
My daily commute was a war path
Describing a difficult and challenging daily journey/path
Where the pizza drivers wouldn't smash they accords at
Referencing how in the past, pizza delivery drivers were cautious and wouldn't drive recklessly
Now everybody ordering door dash
Observing the prevalent trend of people ordering food delivery (DoorDash)
These youngins got cash but want your cash
Young people having money but wanting more from others
That's why they sport masks like it's Rorschach
Comparing the act of wearing masks to conceal identity with the character Rorschach from "Watchmen"
I be feeling rich with these 4 racks
Feeling wealthy with a certain amount of money ("4 racks")
While some of y'all faker than George Glass
Calling out others for pretending to have more money than they actually do
Talking big money when you keep it a short stack
Discussing someone who talks about having a lot of money but actually has very little
Me I'm only decent on short tracks
Confessing to feeling only moderately skilled on shorter tracks
The more I keep writing the more trash
Expressing that the more they write, the worse it seems to get, followed by sarcasm ("pure gas")
Nah im just playing this pure gas
Sarcastically claiming that what they're producing is of high quality
That big show karate chop to ya thorax
Using a metaphor of a powerful physical attack to describe the impact of their verses
The shit I jot sharper than thor axe
Continuing the metaphor, emphasizing the sharpness of their lyrical content
I'm talking stormbreaker
Introducing the metaphor of "stormbreaker" without clear context yet
You getting served without court papers
Suggesting delivering consequences or justice without formal legal processes
Tequila shots we don't pour chasers
Talking about consuming tequila without diluting it with mixers
Give it to me straight never beat around the bush
Desiring directness and honesty in communication
Ahh to be young again a teen without a push
Nostalgia for youthful days without major responsibilities
When my main concern was tryna find the cheapest pound of kush
Reflecting on past concerns about finding affordable marijuana
Instead we turned shake to hash or a measly ounce of mush
Adapting less desirable marijuana material into more potent forms due to scarcity
That was it tho I had my 15 more like 5-10
Recalling a period in their life, approximately between 5 to 10 years
That phase sorta died then
Reflecting on how that phase of life came to an end
Left everything behind and made my way towards the 510 history repeats
Relocating and moving forward in life towards a place named 510
I'm back home thinking victory is sweet
Returning home feeling triumphant
It's a win for me at least
Considering personal achievements as victories
Off the socials I was tired of seeing twitter fingers tweet specifically me
Feeling fatigued by seeing insincere or indirect messages on social media
Everybody masked up like we finna trick or treat
Observing everyone wearing masks, reminiscent of Halloween
And that's way before the sickness hit the streets
Noting the prevalence of wearing masks even before the onset of a particular sickness (possibly referring to a pandemic)
Take advantage of this time to sit in kick it with your peeps
Encouraging people to utilize this time to reconnect with friends and loved ones
That usually you didn't get to see
Highlighting the opportunity to interact with people usually distant or inaccessible
Talk to mama on the phone I ain't visited in weeks
Admitting to not visiting or communicating with their mother for a significant duration
Maybe months maybe almost a year
Realizing a prolonged absence from visiting or connecting with family
And I love to blame it all on the fear
Admitting to attributing their lack of contact to fear
Of getting hit with this disease
Expressing fear of contracting a particular disease
But who am I kidding really please
Admitting that fear might not be the sole reason for their absence
I front like Idk the reason I be feeling incomplete
Expressing a sense of inner emptiness or incompleteness despite giving excuses
Geez
Exclaiming in frustration or disbelief
