90's Flow
Nostalgic Streets: Unveiling the 90's Flow Lifestyle
Lyrics
Open up my eyes, already blessed for the day
Expressing gratitude for the day's blessings upon waking up.
Turn on the radio, let me hear what they play
Tuning in to the radio to listen to the current music selection.
Got Hot 97 heavy on rotation
Hot 97, a radio station, is heavily played in the rotation.
Call the homie quick, make sure he made it to probation
Checking in with a friend to ensure they made it to probation.
Lace up the Tims, black hat to match the shirt
Preparing to go out with Timberland boots and a matching black hat.
Grey sweats lookin' fresh, mom's mad it ain't a skirt
Mom is upset about the outfit not being more formal.
Dedicate that Pac joint, damn don't you know
Dedicating a song by Tupac, expressing a preference for it.
No one else could come first but I'm headed out the door
Prioritizing leaving even though someone else may want attention.
Gotta hit up the block, see who down to shoot roc
Heading to the neighborhood to check who is ready for shooting hoops.
Roll an L on the way, cop batteries for the boombox
Rolling a joint while buying batteries for a boombox.
Catch up with my set, ayo Cas, hit the store
Meeting a friend named Cas and planning to go to the store.
Couple 40s in the bag, later on we'll get more
Buying 40s, with the intention of getting more later.
Milk crates posted up, cee-lo games bettin' quarters
Playing Cee-lo games with milk crates and betting quarters.
Stashin' bricks within the bricks before 12 turn the corner
Hiding drugs before the police arrive (12 turning the corner).
Damn, what a life but it's all I ever knew
Reflecting on a challenging but familiar life in the 90s.
This that 90's flow, light a bogie with your brew homie
Describing the music style as the "90's flow" and suggesting a laid-back lifestyle.
Yo remember back in the day when cats used to rap hard
Recalling a time when rap artists were known for their tough and authentic lyrics.
They used to actually spit that shit
Highlighting the intensity and authenticity of past rap verses.
And it was like mmm....I'm gon' rip these bars
Encouraging someone named DT to speak with the same intensity.
Ayo DT...I want you to talk to them like...yeah
Encouraging someone to speak passionately and authentically.
Let's get'em homie
A call to action to engage the audience.
Got up in the morning and I blast the stereo
Starting the day by listening to music, referencing Dr. Dre.
I was hearin' Dr. Dre now I'm rollin' up the medical
Transitioning to using medicinal marijuana.
Let it go, severed soul, flowin' off the metronome
Letting go of negative influences, possibly referencing a challenging past.
Got it from the jump, like I'm playin' ball with Stephan though
Having a clear understanding from the beginning, like playing basketball with Stephen Curry.
I fuck with Wu-Tang and you know I got the method bro
Expressing appreciation for the Wu-Tang Clan and Method Man.
They taught me always get the cream and never leave your neck exposed
Learning the importance of success and protection from experiences.
You see how I'm rockin' I kill it with the Evenflow
Confidently showcasing personal style and skill.
I fuck with Big L but I fuck with Eddie Vedder though
Respecting both Big L and Eddie Vedder, displaying diverse influences.
Fuck school, they said my balance wasn't chemical
Rejecting traditional education due to perceived imbalances.
Now I'm just a scientist, flowin' off the metrics though
Becoming a metaphorical scientist, experimenting with words and metrics.
A scientist with words, went from rhymin' in the church
Evolution from church rhymes to rising above personal challenges.
Now I'm risin' from the dirt for all the times that I've been hurt
Acknowledging personal growth despite past hardships.
Shout out to my pops, he's the reason that I'm on stage
Gratitude towards the speaker's father for supporting their musical journey.
You don't know the feelings that I get when my mom sings
Expressing intense emotions when the speaker's mother sings.
She's an angel and she flew cause she's got wings
Describing the speaker's mother as an angel with metaphorical wings.
And that's something that she nose like a Pac ring
Comparing the mother's knowledge to a Pac (Tupac) ring, suggesting wisdom.
