With My Friends
Life's Settings: Navigating Struggles and Redemption with no1mportant
Lyrics
Grades poor
Experiencing poor academic performance
Shamed for it
Feeling ashamed or judged for the poor grades
Different classes
Belonging to different social classes
Same lore
Sharing common experiences or stories despite differences
Didn't pass i
Failed a test or course
Paid for it
Paying a consequence for the failure
Skateboarded with neighbors
Engaging in skateboarding activities with neighbors
Stay grounded, i can't play
Struggling to stay grounded and focused due to external pressures
Mama Nate Dogg
Reference to Nate Dogg, possibly a maternal figure
Regulator
Referencing the song "Regulator" and its themes
Face down on a stained floor
Being in a difficult or challenging situation
Death on my heels like gators
Feeling pursued or threatened by death
Been hell bound
Experiencing a difficult and challenging life
Had the gates forced open
Overcoming obstacles or challenges
Been held and spellbound ye
Being captivated or entranced by something
How sway can i make more noses
Expressing a desire to attract attention or recognition
How sweet it is to be loved by
Referencing the joy of being loved
Every fake or showman
Criticizing insincere or fake individuals
If i got shake you're smokin
Suggesting awareness of deception or dishonesty
Know i'm late
Admitting to being late but committed to staying focused
But here to stay ford focused
Expressing a desire to imitate Brad Dourif's character
Wanna play Brad Douriff it
Rejecting negative emotions or behaviors
Don't want to stay mad whorish
Preferring not to remain angry or resentful
Better save my kidneys
Acknowledging the need to take care of one's health
Try to create endorphins
Striving for the release of endorphins, possibly through positive activities
Made to stray, Mount Kimbie
Referring to a change in direction or lifestyle influenced by Mount Kimbie
Was in a cave now forest
Transitioning from a confined space to a more open or natural environment
Who are these lames i envy
Questioning the worth or qualities of certain individuals
What is this maze i'm touring
Expressing confusion or uncertainty about life's challenges
Need to shake, bake and get to making my choice
Desiring a change and the ability to make choices
Need a safe space to create things and remain unemployed
Seeking a secure and creative space while acknowledging unemployment
Where i can raise my voice
Expressing a need to assert oneself or speak out
How many chores more till i regain arms open
Questioning the effort required to regain a sense of openness
How much more remorse do i pray lord
Expressing remorse and seeking forgiveness from a higher power
fore you send your locusts
Fearing divine punishment or consequences
Be like my idols, white wedding
Desiring a traditional and celebrated marriage
Not get looked over, brown orphan
Highlighting potential societal prejudices or biases
How you turn the dial on life's settings?
Questioning how one navigates through the challenges of life
And search ya mind without snoring?
Encouraging introspection without distraction or indifference
Know that imma get a whoopin' i been bad
Acknowledging consequences for misbehavior
Out in these streets steady misdemeanin' with my friends
Engaging in minor illegal activities with friends
Know that imma get a whoopin' i been bad
Anticipating consequences for rebellious behavior
