Midnight Moves: Navigating Betrayal and Triumph in 4AM
Lyrics
They ain't got no backbone
Expressing that some individuals lack courage or resilience.
Man chat loads when they at home
People talk a lot when in the comfort of their homes.
But I see the hats low when the catch O
Observing that individuals hide their identity when involved in illicit activities.
Outlandish when a man chat flows
Criticizing those who boast about their skills in a flamboyant manner.
Rah, man try catted and act sho'
Commenting on someone pretending or acting falsely.
And the fact you gassin' 'bout agg road
Addressing the exaggeration and boasting about criminal activities.
We was in the alleys in a trap house
Recalling past experiences in dangerous places and illegal activities.
In the back roads tryna stack dough
Describing efforts to earn money in less-traveled areas.
You were never there when I
Implying someone was absent during challenging times.
Mad moves, where was you (main road, main road)
Repeatedly questioning the absence of support during challenging situations.
Mad moves, where was you (main road, main road)
-Mad moves, where was you (main road, main road)
-We was in the alleys in a trap house in the back roads
-Tryna stack dough you were never there when I
-Mad moves, where was you (main road, main road)
-Mad moves, where was you (main road, main road)
-Mad moves, where was you (main road, main road)
-Mad moves, where was you (main road, main road)
-Yo
Transition to a new part of the narrative.
Apple had this nigga tryna figure
Reflecting on personal struggles, competition, and the need to be heard.
How the fuck am I supposed to get it here
-All the competition make you disappear
-Make you one of many
-Make you live in fear
-So I had to level up and show I'm sutting
-Cah they never seem to make 'em give an ear
-But once I had an ear cause I wanted more
-I have to show 'em I can level up a gear
Emphasizing the determination to achieve success despite challenges.
To get my own recorder
-Had to break a world record
-Cah Brighton town you know the score is
-Full of man the show the shore
Criticizing others who boast without substance.
Really they ain't showing shit but
-Seashells, cold shores, peak smells
-And slow talk 'bout who's whack, so forth
-Who's doing it and who's not
Dismissing the value of empty endorsements and emphasizing action over talk.
Blud, your cosign's worth squat
-That's worth squat with no diddly
-Fixing things ain't too fiddly
-Just admit your crew feelin' me
Asserting the need for respect where it is deserved.
Show respect where respect is due
-Cah really I never saw your man there on the back road
-You were never there when I
Reiterating the absence of support and questioning the credibility of others.
Mad moves, where was you (main road, main road)
-Mad moves, where was you (main road, main road)
-Mad moves, where was you (main road, main road)
-We was in the alleys in a trap house in the back roads
-Tryna stack dough you were never there when I
-Mad moves, where was you (main road, main road)
-Mad moves, where was you (main road, main road)
-Mad moves, where was you (main road, main road)
-Mad moves, where was you (main road, main road)
-Mad moves, where was you, let me just assume
Challenging others who claim to be tough or involved in criminal activities.
I was in the room when you raised a couple decibels
-I don't wanna move what you gonna do?
-Why you tryna stun?
-Who you gonna shoot?
-You ain't on a ting you better move
-On it back for 200
-Man come through, take that from nothin'
Describing a confrontational situation and the speaker's ability to overcome obstacles.
'Bout 15 man take that for free
-'Bout we up and take all your profit
-Wid your lickle wickle widdy biddy fickle bit of profit and your
-Trying to be a problem to a man who already does it in the middle
-Of the night while your in the city plotting to a brudda
Reflecting on potential dangers and emphasizing resilience.
You don't know, have you seen what's in the pocket better run
-Around the block until your breathing and your coughing
-K he's breathing, and your lucky still alive
-In the coffin better be the bigger man instead of tryna be the
Advising against engaging in unnecessary conflicts and highlighting personal achievements.
Wrongen in a pickle with a problem everybody wanna butt in
-I Don't meddle wid dat na I'll have a natter
-Would a knobhead ever snigger
-Would a nigga ever mingle with a muppet
-Everybody wanna wonder how I do it and I run it
-When I done it when my brothers you was never there when I
Repeating the theme of unavailability and lack of support during challenging times.
Mad moves, where was you (main road, main road)
-Mad moves, where was you (main road, main road)
-Mad moves, where was you (main road, main road)
-We was in the alleys in a trap house in the back roads
-Tryna stack dough you were never there when I
-Mad moves, where was you (main road, main road)
-Mad moves, where was you (main road, main road)
-Mad moves, where was you (main road, main road)
-Mad moves, where was you (main road, main road)
