Jewels
Shine Forever: Unveiling Life's Jewels Through Rey Resurreccion's Lyrics
Lyrics
Late night whippin' in the Geo
Driving late at night in a Geo vehicle
Listening to Primo
Listening to music by Primo (possibly DJ Premier)
Down by Eagles Lane we was sneakin' by the P-O P-O
Being discreet near Eagles Lane to avoid the police
So cold below zero
Extremely cold weather
He blow dro' fasho we know diligent Filipinos - aye
Someone smokes marijuana, and they recognize hardworking Filipinos
Jackas like the Triple Fat Goose
Comparing someone to a popular jacket brand (Triple Fat Goose)
He a magician turn your necklace to a noose
Someone is so skilled that they can turn a necklace into a noose, a metaphor for danger or betrayal
Mayne so you better watch
A warning to be cautious
Keep yo head on a swivel
Stay alert and attentive
Hold your jewels like a diamond in a bezel
To protect valuable possessions like a precious diamond in a setting
We gon' shine like forever
Planning to shine or succeed indefinitely
Yea
Expression of agreement or affirmation
Said we gon' shine like forever
Reiterating the intent to shine indefinitely
Ugh
Expression of frustration or emphasis
Forever like Squints in The Sandlot
Comparing longevity to the character Squints from "The Sandlot"
They playing blitz racing the game clock
Engaging in high-pressure situations, possibly referring to life's challenges
That long range .308 aim with a straight shot
Referring to precise shooting with a .308 caliber gun
Gold chain matching that wrist watch
Wearing a gold chain that matches a wristwatch
That subtle flex grown man rappin' that's real talk
Being subtle yet confident in displaying maturity and authenticity in rap
That indirect young head yappin' that's lil talk
Contrasting mature and immature approaches to communication in the rap industry
They hate it when you winning that's real dog
Highlighting resentment from others when someone is successful
They showing they feels off - aye
People openly expressing their negative emotions or envy
That's they prerogative though
That's their choice or decision
We on that positive dope
Engaging in positive activities or mindset
They full of ominous hope
Others have a pessimistic hope, while the speaker is investing in positive endeavors
We buying all of the float
Being financially proactive and buying into investments or opportunities
Keep yo head on a swivel
Reiteration of staying vigilant and alert
Hold yo jewels like a diamond in a bezel
To safeguard valuable possessions like a precious diamond in a setting
And watch it escalate
Expecting an escalation or increase in success or situations
That slow cook let it marinate
Allowing something to develop slowly, following a patient approach
That marathon Nipsey Hussle etiquette I paraphrase
Following the principles or demeanor of Nipsey Hussle, particularly in a long-term approach or mindset
Gold chain matching that wrist watch
Repeating the imagery of wearing a matching gold chain and wristwatch
That subtle flex grown man rappin that's real talk
Emphasizing mature and authentic rap content
That indirect young head yappin' that's lil talk
Contrasting mature and immature communication in the rap industry
They hate it when you winning that's real dog
Expressing resentment or negativity from others when someone succeeds
They showing they feels off - aye
People openly displaying their negative emotions or envy
