Lyrics
(Well it is what it is)
Expression acknowledging the reality of the situation.
I've been in the trenches and shit
Referring to facing challenging and difficult situations.
Got dents in my shins from getting it in
Physical evidence of hard work or struggle, represented by dents in the shins.
Getting it in
Repetition emphasizing the continuous effort or work being put in.
Getting it in
-Getting it in
-Getting it in
-I've been in the trenches and shit
Reiteration of being in challenging situations.
Got dents in my shins from getting it in
Continuation of the physical toll from the effort described.
It's stressful, stretching my limits but that's just how I live
Expressing the stress of pushing personal limits as a way of life.
And I count every single one of my blessings ya dig
Acknowledging and appreciating every positive aspect of life.
(Trenches)
Reiteration of being in challenging situations (trenches).
I've been in the trenches and shit
Repetition emphasizing the continuous effort or work being put in.
Got dents in my shins from getting it in
-Getting it in
-Getting it in
-Getting it in
-Getting it in
-I've been in the trenches and shit
Reiteration of being in challenging situations.
Got dents in my shins from getting it in
Continuation of the physical toll from the effort described.
It's stressful, stretching my limits but that's just how I live
Expressing the stress of pushing personal limits as a way of life.
And I count every single one of my blessings
Continuation of acknowledging and appreciating positive aspects of life.
(We dig trenches)
Reference to digging trenches, possibly metaphorical for facing challenges.
Drinking wine out of a paper cup
Reflecting on life experiences, strength, and warlike characteristics.
Sitting on the curb next to my neighbor's truck
-Thinking what doesn't kill you makes your credit score stronger
-Turns out that I am just a war monger
-Like my forefathers starting shit
-I am only worth what my arms can lift
-Well pass the 'roids people like "that's my boy"
-Sape with the strength of an asteroid
-I am, I am in the figurative streets
Describing existence in a metaphorical and dreamlike state, recognizing complexities.
Literally living in a dream
-It's bigger than it seems
-I am, I am in the figurative streets
-Literally living in a dream
-It's bigger than it seems
-It's ripping at the seams
-Whipping my Golf down the boulevard
Depicting everyday scenes, contemplating life, and searching for something.
Noticing that the sky is always so cold and dark
-Beat tape samples of my own guitar
-Before it starts raining again I look for Noah's Ark
-I paid my rent on time again (ayy)
Celebrating mundane achievements and staying proactive.
I celebrated with a vitamin (ayy)
-No time for idling the iron is hot
-I'm clamping it down and striking it till it's nice and thin
-Writing grips like I'm an author
Contrasting the role of a musician with that of an author, reflecting on personal growth.
But I make songs, I didn't write no novels
-See I'm just a guy that's trying not to be like my father
-Pass the Tylenol I've just seen a flying saucer
-I am, I am in the figurative streets
Continuation of the metaphorical and dreamlike existence, acknowledging challenges.
Literally living in a dream
-It's bigger than it seems
-I am, I am in the figurative streets
-Literally living in a dream
-It's bigger than it seems
-It's ripping at the seams
-I am, I am in the figurative streets
Reiteration of the dreamlike state being larger and potentially unraveling.
Literally living in a dream
-It's bigger than it seems
-I am, I am in the figurative streets
-Literally living in a dream
-It's bigger than it seems
-It's ripping at the seams...
