Lyrics
Psycho Realm, P.O.D., Boo-yah Tribe
Collaboration between Psycho Realm, P.O.D., and Boo-yah Tribe.
What? What?
Repetition for emphasis or excitement.
My soul is payable on death, the flow I'm layin' here is deaf
Reference to the album title "Payable on Death (P.O.D.)," confident and impactful flow.
Mics come with a teflon vest, my words wreck
Comparing microphone protection to a bulletproof vest, emphasizing impactful words.
I'm a Psycho, ill with the voco-loco
Describing oneself as a psycho with strong vocal skills.
Heard a sick pedo noco noco by coasta logo
Reference to disturbing news, possibly related to a location (noco noco) and a logo.
Gas mask with the gangsta strollo
Wearing a gas mask while confidently strolling in a gangster manner.
Got a piece that will match the chrome D's on my low-low
Possessing a weapon that matches the chrome wheels on a lowrider.
Total chaos, you think that I'm a rapper your way off
Rejecting the idea of being a typical rapper, chaos and aggression.
I'm a killer that be murderin these tracks, so stay off
Identifying as a killer in the context of dominating and excelling in music.
Serial rhymin, convicted of driving and beat the hymen
Wordplay on "serial rhyming," implying a criminal record and lyrical prowess.
And breaking the hymen on ears that never heard of the line that I'm in
Exploring explicit themes, breaking boundaries with lyrics.
The danger zone is common, city blocks got the demons mobbin'
Reference to a dangerous environment, demons in city blocks.
I'm a con-artist, starvin', strong armin'
Describing oneself as a con-artist, starving for success.
Jason's guitarin', Traa's bass while Wuv is bombin'
Mentioning band members and their roles in creating music.
Bring the streets to the booth, It's my therapy from mental scaring
Using music as therapy to cope with mental scars from past experiences.
From the hell when I dwelled in an L.A. projects
Reflecting on a challenging past in Los Angeles projects.
Ever since the day the streets be callin'
Expressing determination to face challenges, a commitment to survival.
Do what it takes to keep from fallin'
-All I know is how to hustle man, so I'll stay on it
-Somewhere in the world the sun is shining
-Down on my face there's someone trying
-Try to grind it out these streets we live
-And I'm not dying
-My souls payable on death, home grown out the west
Continuation of the aggressive, confident style with references to lyrical skill and reputation.
My words be leapin' from the grill leaving you holding your breathe
-So who want next, and who gonna test?
-Come get this lyrics beating, I'm out the frame like graffiti
-It's so misleading, but I make it look easy
-And everybody out the box trying to cop my steezy
-So my crew roll through, you know quite is kept
-But my level is next, so bet it all on dread
-I break bread with hustlers, conversate with kings
-Conquer kingdoms with warriors and preach to the fiends
Engaging with various aspects of society, including both positive and negative influences.
Partake communion with dealers, love the least of these
-Ask forgiveness from a priest and keep my ears to the streets
-Some of my people still fightin' they own demons
Acknowledging personal struggles and choosing to use music positively.
And some of my people still shootin' until it's even
-Some kill you just because, and I'll leave it at that
-But I choose to use this mic to push these platinum plaques
-Ever since the day the streets be callin'
Reiteration of the commitment to face challenges and thrive.
Do what it takes to keep from fallin'
-All I know is how to hustle man, so I'll stay on it
-Somewhere in the world the sun is shining
-Down on my face there's someone trying
-Try to grind it out these streets we live
-And I'm not dying
-Ever since the day the streets be callin'
Repeated emphasis on resilience, facing adversity, and the pursuit of success.
Do what it takes to keep from fallin'
-All I know is how to hustle man, so I'll stay on it
-Somewhere in the world the sun is shining
-Down on my face there's someone trying
-Try to grind it out these streets we live
-And I'm not dying
-When it drizzle come the storm
Reflection on the harsh realities of life, experiences in the gangsta lifestyle, and a commitment to love.
And when you born, you see that rappers die where I come from
-You thankin' gangsta, thank the game
-West full circle and it finally came
-From the waters runnin' how the west was won
-How them candles flamin' for my brothers to find home
-Broken halos and clipped wings
-Though we birthed of the west coast, we'll talk in them real things
-Did y'all know that gangstas don't cry?
-Did y'all know all thugs don't ride?
-We gangsta pimpin' but we had to
-You ever touch my sister, got you!
-I'm keepin' it gangsta cause keepin' it's worth keepin'
-And paid for being processed
-With sleeping worth leaking
-The streets ball callin' me out of control
-I'd rather be sending love before I let it go
-Ever since the day the streets be callin'
Reiteration of the theme of facing challenges, staying true to oneself, and seeking positivity.
Do what it takes to keep from fallin'
-All I know is how to hustle man, so I'll stay on it
-Somewhere in the world the sun is shining
-Down on my face there's someone trying
-Try to grind it out these streets we live
-And I'm not dying
-Ever since the day the streets be callin'
-Do what it takes to keep from fallin'
-All I know is how to hustle man, so I'll stay on it
-Somewhere in the world the sun is shining
-Down on my face there's someone trying
-Try to grind it out these streets we live
-And I'm not dying
-I'll stay On The Grind, I do this all the time
Commitment to hard work, perseverance, and the ongoing search for inner peace.
For all it's worth, I keep on searching for my piece of mind
-I'll stay On The Grind, I do this all the time
-For all it's worth, I keep on searching for my piece of mind
-I'll stay On The Grind, I do this all the time
-For all it's worth, I keep on searching for my piece of mind
