Navigating Life's Labyrinth: Pink Siifu and Fly Anakin's Shloww Reflections
Lyrics
Uh, uh
Expression of affirmation or acknowledgment
Uh
Reiteration of affirmation or acknowledgment
I take 5 steps, at least 5 breaths
Referencing physical movement and breathing, possibly symbolic of taking deliberate actions
Think back how they slow Crip
Reflecting on the past and the slow progress of a Crip (gang affiliation)
Fake 5 set, I remember slipping through these cracks
Recalling moments of vulnerability and navigating challenges
Back to back, peers right on my neck
Feeling pressure from peers or external influences
It tows quick everyday, how it goes everyday
Describing the daily struggle and quick pace of life
God hit me back, stead the plot, we stand with the plan
Reference to a divine influence guiding the speaker's life
You should know, same hands
Emphasizing continuity and shared experiences
Black hands, just grown
Highlighting the significance of black hands and maturity
She used to play about me hearing the phone
Recalling a time when someone played with the speaker's emotions
Nowadays small change, anything goes
Commenting on the unpredictability of life
Time crazy, my mind take me places I can't pen, then again I know where I'm at
Reflecting on the complexity of the mind and self-awareness
Still trapped, doubling back again, bitch you watch
Feeling trapped and repeating past actions
Nigga, you watch, go get a back
Encouraging someone to pursue success
Go get a bag
Reiterating the call to pursue financial success
Then again, to the point
Stressing a point or idea
Yeah, don't you count on another man to get you popping
Advocating self-reliance and independence
If you can't get it on your own, then you need different options
Rejecting dependency on others for success
You can argue all topics, I don't give a damn
Indifference to arguments and a preemptive dismissal
Fuck you in advance
Expressing disregard for negativity
I weigh (?), you ain't getting lit (word)
Refusing to be weighed down, seeking a lit (successful) life
Different day, same scene, wax did me in
Describing a repetitive and challenging daily routine
Smoke blazing my skin, I pull through, it's a blessing, we can breathe in peace
Expressing gratitude for the ability to breathe peacefully
Used to smoke out on Easy Street
Recalling a simpler, easier time
Then the boys ran down on your guys, life was hard
Narrating a challenging moment when law enforcement intervened
Still lived worse as a kid, we still traumatized
Reflecting on enduring hardships as a child
Realized the other side was begging for a rise
Awareness of the struggles faced by others
Throw gats on the fire ford, chased turned it to a flame
Describing a transformative experience and a change in identity
Tripled up and rearranged, changed my name
Empowering oneself through change
Apply pressure to alt-right
Expressing opposition to far-right ideologies
Tuck 'em in the grave at night
Asserting dominance or control over adversaries
See my reflection in this safe next to bullets
Seeing one's reflection alongside potentially dangerous items
These niggas fingers be real sticky
Commenting on the deceitful nature of some individuals
I used to hide bread from my momma, she live with me
Recalling a childhood memory of hiding food
On wire crazy but they still found time to hate me
Reflecting on facing criticism despite challenging circumstances
Blame the baby for me shitting on you niggas lately
Attributing success to overcoming obstacles and dismissing detractors
This the testament, real shit forever relevant
Stating the enduring relevance of genuine experiences
We prevalent, carefully smoking the evidence
Emphasizing the prevalence of authentic experiences
Being benevolent
Choosing to be generous or kind despite challenges
