RED BANDANA
Legacy in Red: Loyalty, Loss, and Life Lessons in Sabelo Blacc's RED BANDANA
Lyrics
Swear to God, I'm loyal til the death of me
Expressing unwavering loyalty until death.
Ain't no switching sides, keep it real with me
Commitment to honesty and staying true to each other.
That's what my OG told me, keep it hunnid
Advice from an older generation to keep it real and genuine.
When you backed against the wall, that's when you know who you run with
True loyalty is revealed when facing adversity.
Red bandana way more than a rag to me
The red bandana symbolizes a significant legacy.
It represents a Legacy
The red bandana represents more than just a cloth; it signifies a legacy.
R I P to I C E
Homage to someone named ICE who has passed away (RIP).
GT hit me up, "Lil' bro, what's brackin'?
Communication with someone (GT) checking in and showing support.
Know you miss your mom's
Acknowledging the longing for one's mother.
Always know with me, you got a family."
Assurance that there is a family and support system.
That be a blessing
Viewing the family as a blessing.
Homie don't stress it
Encouragement not to stress over difficulties.
Last year I seen what the devil do
Reflecting on a challenging past year and facing adversity.
Hell is that place I ain't going to
Avoidance of a negative destination or experience.
Fighting them demons
Struggling with inner demons.
God as my witness
Swearing to God about the truth of the statement.
Hard to accept that he gone
Expressing difficulty in accepting the loss of someone.
OG forever, my dawg
Acknowledging the enduring impact of the departed person.
Had to be ICE
Reiteration of the significance of ICE and OG, emphasizing their influence.
Had to be OG

-Rest in peace, homies

-Rest in peace, homies

-Had to be the one that takes after those before me
-Rest in peace, homies

-Red Bandana hanging out the back pocket
The red bandana as a visible symbol of affiliation.
They can't stand us, homie. See they're legs popping
Resistance to societal disapproval; pride in identity.
I know my homies got me till the end
Belief in unwavering support from friends until the end.
They are legends, I admit
Acknowledgment of legendary status among peers.
We still on a Quest for Chiiiips
Persistence in pursuing success and prosperity.
Bumping Game in memory of my dawg
Listening to music as a tribute to a deceased friend.
Gave me so much game, it's a lot for me to live of
Gratitude for the valuable advice received.
Taught me love and loyalty will get you where you wanna be
Understanding the importance of love and loyalty for success.
Focus on your family and split open the heads of these
Focusing on family and confronting disloyal individuals.
Faking jerks who switch up on you 'specially when the money's in
Warning against fake friends, especially when money is involved.
Conversation. Don't you waste your time, cut em off as quick
Advising to cut off untrustworthy people in conversations.
Luh the fact you humble but don't let em get too close to see
Appreciating humility but advocating for caution in relationships.
How you fill your table. Count your blessings as you take your seat
Gratefulness for blessings and success despite challenges.
