Memory
Golden Reflections: Shane Eagle's Journey Through Memories
Lyrics
Yeah
Expression of agreement or affirmation.
23
Refers to the age of 23, possibly significant in the artist's life.
Yeah, yeah
Repetition of affirmation for emphasis.
I'm at the crib staring through this gold mirror man
Artist at home, reflecting through a gold mirror left by their father.
This the one that my pops left me before he dip
The mirror is an inheritance from the artist's father who has departed.
Now picture this, life is rare and you barely trip
Life is rare, and the artist doesn't take it for granted.
This is not for the public, this is not for sale
Explicitly states that the content is personal and not for public consumption.
I'm just recording my thoughts, make a wish in a well
Recording personal thoughts, making a metaphorical wish.
I'mma cop me the V, rest in paradise to Virgil
Expresses intent to acquire a V (possibly a car), pays tribute to Virgil Abloh.
I'mma cop me the G-class
Plans to buy a G-class car.
My girl got a fat ass since she was in math class
Complimenting the physical appearance of the artist's girlfriend.
That's way before rap man, that's way before double tap on Instagram
Reflecting on love since before fame and social media validation.
I fell in love, the strongest drug from the Holy one
Love is compared to a strong drug, possibly spiritual.
Memories, bumping classic CDs inspirеd me to go and get my own discography
Memories and classic CDs inspired the artist's discography.
We three for three, four by thе time you hearing this, uh
Success in the artist's career, with plans for continued growth.
And I'm blessed to hit record and pour my heart in these songs
Grateful for the ability to express emotions through music.
Till the right one hear it then poof, I'll be gone from out of here
Recognition that success may lead to departure from the public eye.
Maybe I should rewind the year, cos memory is prolly more precious than diamonds
Suggests the importance of memories over material possessions.
Maybe that's why I'm still rhyming so I could never forget
The purpose of rhyming is to preserve memories.
Ugh, king of the mileage bruh I'm a monster
Describes the artist as a formidable force with extensive experience (mileage).
Rap phenomenal, flew to the moon like Frank Sinatra
Highlights the artist's exceptional rap skills and achievements.
This that ride for the ones who came before me
Dedication to those who paved the way in the artist's field.
This that chase the paper till the early morning shift
Hard work and dedication to financial success.
I love you when you in your purest form
Expresses love for someone in their true, unaltered state.
I know we gon' weather the storm
Confidence in overcoming challenges together.
You look better with me on your arm
Belief that the person looks better when accompanied by the artist.
Uh, you're a doll, this is forever like Tony Bennett and Amy Winehouse body and soul
Comparing the relationship to enduring partnerships in music.
You cleanse my spirit, turn my house into a home
Signifies the positive impact of love on the artist's life.
This is what love is, gamma is in my bones
Love is deep-rooted and innate.
May he without sin go cast the first stone
Quoting a biblical reference about judgment and forgiveness.
I don't carry hate in my heart, just pass the codes
Rejects harboring hatred, promoting positivity.
My heart is just like my Father's, it's pure golden
Similarity between the artist's heart and their father's, emphasizing purity.
These flows and turn droughts into oceans
Artistic prowess turning challenges into significant achievements.
Therefore, the free form that I take on can't be compared to no other rapper, haha
Claiming a unique and incomparable style among rappers.
I'mma take the Mussein, you could keep the new chain
Choosing legacy (Mussein) over material possessions (new chain).
I'm Jordan in the flue game
Comparing oneself to Michael Jordan during a memorable basketball game (flue game).
