Here I Am
Unveiling Life's Resilience
Lyrics
They asked who I am I responded puppet master
Identity asserted as a puppet master in control.
Got more flows sicker than natural disasters
Claiming to have more impactful flows than natural disasters.
Stepping over them land mines sprinkled all over pastures
Navigating through challenges and dangers symbolized by land mines.
On my way to serenity
Heading towards serenity, a state of calmness or peace.
My flawed methods got me this far so I'll let it be
Accepting and continuing with flawed methods that brought success.
On my body lacerations barley made it out you see
Survived with injuries, emphasizing the difficulty of the journey.
Made it through the other side by the skin of my teeth
Barely making it through challenges, narrowly escaping.
Taping the tea cup a nigga 5 layers deep
Symbolic imagery of layers and complexity in life.
Dead man walking
Feeling spiritually dead or detached.
Niggas ain't gettin any sleep
Others facing difficulties due to the narrator's actions.
I'm rolling, smoking, rolling, man that cycle on repeat
Engaging in a repetitive cycle of rolling and smoking.
Jack and the bean stalk
Reference to a classic tale, suggesting cleverness or triumph.
Nigga I done trapped a seed
Successfully trapping something valuable or significant.
I done trapped a seed
Repetition for emphasis on the successful act of trapping.
Watch how this tree grows
Observing and anticipating growth like a tree.
Mario Andretti when I see that road again
Driving skillfully, drawing a parallel to a racing legend.
Two tears and bucket I'm hoping that it don't rain again
Hoping to avoid negative events or setbacks.
Orphrey kept me cozy when I was plotting my master plan
Feeling comfortable while planning a significant move.
Going back to Texas I'm riding horseback with Dirty Dan
Returning to Texas with a reference to a fictional character.
Choppa got the giggles 'cause that state open carry
A weapon (choppa) ready in a state with open carry laws.
Jim and Andy
Reference to characters suggesting an escape from worries.
The great beyond got me out my worries
Feeling relieved and free from concerns.
Solar plexus forming gems off of the gas niggas toking
Creating valuable insights or art while under the influence.
Boutta one take this shit
Expressing confidence in recording without retakes.
(Someone got a lighter?)
Practical request for a lighter during the recording.
Coming live from Cloverfield lane
Announcing the location of the recording with intensity.
Never had a writer spitting real pain
Claiming authenticity in expressing real pain through lyrics.
I be getting risky for the paper nigga squid games
Engaging in risky behavior for financial gain like in Squid Games.
And I'll go and do it all again I'm feeling insane
Willingness to repeat risky actions despite potential consequences.
Me and sensei trading verses off like Pokemon
Collaborative exchange of verses with Sensei.
Force it on the mic I'm going Obi-Wan
Forcing creativity on the microphone, likened to a wise character.
Remember when I used to post up local on the boulevard
Reflecting on past activities on the boulevard.
Nowadays I stay up out the way cuz I know the cost
Avoiding trouble and staying away from potential harm.
It's like, I know nothing but I know a lot
Acknowledging a paradoxical state of knowing and not knowing.
No one knows me better than them smoking spots
Trusting in familiar places and experiences.
And if I'm distant then it's for the best
Creating distance for the benefit of oneself.
Conversations fading then you know the rest
Recognizing the fading of relationships when conversations dwindle.
Had to learn the hard way as a youngin' not to overstep
Learning from past mistakes about not overstepping boundaries.
But part of me be 06' balling boutta choke the ref
A mix of nostalgia and aggression from a past event in 2006.
Pick em off until there's no one left
Continuing to eliminate obstacles until none remain.
Carrying my head right beside me like I'm going Met
Calmly carrying oneself with confidence and self-assurance.
Curtain call, no regrets
Embracing the conclusion of a performance without regrets.
