Best Shot
Unveiling Truths: Rocky Rivera's Powerful Narrative in 'Best Shot'
Lyrics
Picture perfect
Expressing an ideal or flawless image
I paint a perfect picture with precision on my wordplay
Crafting a flawless depiction through precise wordplay
Fuck it when these herbs say
Disregard for criticism from those lacking understanding
Somethin' bout my curse words
Reference to the impact of curse words on perceptions
They just wanna pick fights
People looking for confrontations based on words used
Say it with your chest, ho
Assertive encouragement to speak boldly
Always choose my words right
Being careful and intentional with words
I'm nobody's archetype
Rejecting conformity to established models
I just speak my truth, yo
Stating personal truths without conforming to expectations
Illy wit these similes, ready with these metaphors
Proficient with similes and metaphors
Fuck a meta-narrative, when I give my testimony
Rejecting overarching narratives in favor of personal testimony
Never been to grad school but Master of the Ceremony
Masterful in leading ceremonies without formal education
Never been to Catholic school and I lost my native tongue
Loss of cultural roots and identity
I'm tryin' to find my way
Seeking direction and purpose
Where the hell I'm comin' from
Questioning one's origin and identity
Follow at your own risk, I be on my own path
Forging an individual path, not conforming to expectations
Not "The One You Waiting For"
Not the expected person; challenging stereotypes
I'm the one that's late to class
Being consistently late to societal expectations
Controversial, the truth is bout to hurt ya
Sharing controversial truths that may be painful
I hate to disappoint you and you surely ain't my mama
Rejecting the role of a savior, resisting societal norms
I'm just tryna tell my story 'fore they try to tell it for me
Telling one's own story before it's misrepresented
So excuse me for the language in my music allegories
Apologizing for explicit language in artistic expressions
Hit me wit yo best
Repetition of a challenge to face the best efforts of others
Hit me with yo best shot
-Hit me wit yo best
-Hit me wit yo best (AH!)
-Hit me wit yo best
-Hit me wit yo best (POP!)
-Hit me wit ya best
-Hit me wit ya best (RRRAH!)
-Hit me wit yo best
-Hit me with yo best shot (AH!)
-Hit me wit yo best
-Hit me wit yo best (POP!)
-Hit me wit yo best
-Hit me wit yo best (RRRAH!)
-Hit me wit ya best
-Hit me, hit me wit ya best
-I'm nobody's savior, Professor Xavier
-Fuck respectability, rampant misbehavior
-All up in my lineage, all up in my DNA
-How you think I overcame the obstacles that's in my way
-They just wanna box you in, warn you if you cross the line
-"You ain't really rappin' if ain't rappin in double time"
-You ain't for The People if you problematic when you rhyme
-Like I can't evolve without you digging up old tweets of mine?
-They wish that they can call you out with some old dirt
-I graduated public school, did my homework
-So I will never let 'em hurt me, get your facts straight
-I can grow from my mistakes, don't instigate
-You got no right to burn down what you ain't built
-Try your best shot, make sure that you aim still
-Most of y'all act brave, but you ain't real
-Hatin' on the low, something that I can't feel
-Hit me wit yo best
-Hit me with yo best shot
-Hit me wit yo best
-Hit me wit yo best (AH!)
-Hit me wit yo best
-Hit me wit yo best (POP!)
-Hit me wit ya best
-Hit me wit ya best (RRRAH!)
-Hit me wit yo best
-Hit me with yo best shot (AH!)
-Hit me wit yo best
-Hit me wit yo best (POP!)
-Hit me wit yo best
-Hit me wit yo best (RRRAH!)
-Hit me wit ya best
-Hit me, hit me wit ya best
Encouraging others to give their best
