Walking On A Wire
Dangling Threads: Navigating Life's Precarious Balance in Shea Michael's Anthem
Lyrics
Hanging by a thread, got nowhere to run
Hanging by a thread, feeling trapped with no escape.
Walking on a wire and you weigh a ton
Walking on a precarious path, burdened by a heavy weight.
Where are all your boys? All that's left is one
Questioning the absence of companions, with only one remaining.
And when I fucking smash your mirror then you having none
Breaking a mirror symbolically, destroying a sense of self or identity.
Hanging by a thread, got nowhere to run
Repetition of feeling trapped and having no options.
Walking on a wire and you weigh a ton
Continuation of the precarious journey with a heavy burden.
Where are all your boys? All that's left is one
Continued questioning of the absence of companions.
And when I fucking smash your mirror then you having none
Reiteration of breaking a mirror and its consequences.
Checking out the vest and now my pockets been flooded
Inspecting a vest, possibly referencing materialism and wealth.
You're trying to blend with all these rappers, why they call you cold blooded
Criticizing someone for trying to fit in with other rappers.
When you've been faking all your chains, you know them bitches been studded
Calling out fake displays of wealth and status.
When I pull up, don't need no chains and now your body been gutted
Arriving without flashy accessories, exposing vulnerability.
I'm talking rock star life in the great red world
Describing a rock star lifestyle in a challenging world.
There's 100 on the dash and now there's 30 more girls
Speeding with 100 on the dashboard, surrounded by attention.
That been pulling up onto the crib and they ain't say a word
Receiving unspoken attention from numerous individuals.
And if they asking for a picture I just flip 'em the bird
Responding defiantly to requests for pictures.
Hanging by a thread, got nowhere to run
Repeating the feeling of being trapped and having no escape.
Walking on a wire and you weigh a ton
Continuation of the challenging journey on a precarious path.
Where are all your boys? All that's left is one
Continued questioning of the absence of companions.
And when I fucking smash your mirror then you having none
Reiteration of breaking a mirror and its consequences.
Hanging by a thread, got nowhere to run
Repetition of feeling trapped and having no options.
Walking on a wire and you weigh a ton
Continuation of the precarious journey with a heavy burden.
Where are all your boys? All that's left is one
Continued questioning of the absence of companions.
And when I fucking smash your mirror then you having none
Reiteration of breaking a mirror and its consequences.
Walking the wire and I still see all these faces
Walking a challenging path while still recognizing familiar faces.
This situation be dire, these are familiar places
Describing a dire situation in familiar surroundings.
They said go work a 9-5 and I said tie your noose like laces
Rejecting the conventional 9-5 work life, advocating for individuality.
So go say that shit again and I'ma have the dogs they chasing
Warning against repeating disrespectful statements.
Down your body so meet me at the front of the lobby
Anticipating consequences, referring to dogs as metaphorical enforcers.
Because you're checking out of rap you gotta find a new hobby
Encouraging a departure from the rap scene to explore new interests.
And know that this shit way too perfect like they calling me Bobby
Acknowledging a seemingly perfect situation, perhaps sarcastically.
So get to scrapping 'cause know your shit's about to be sloppy
Warning of impending conflict and chaos.
Yeah this in cold blood
Emphasizing a ruthless or heartless approach.
Gotta move up showing you no love
Advocating for personal advancement without showing compassion.
Your doves ain't no fucking piece that
Disregarding someone's symbolic offerings of peace.
I can't show up, my fucks know I'm
Unable to attend an event, indicating priorities.
Running out of the given
Running out of patience or tolerance.
And know I keep on living
Continuing to live despite challenges.
Hanging by a thread, got nowhere to run
Repetition of feeling trapped and having no escape.
Walking on a wire and you weigh a ton
Continuation of the challenging journey on a precarious path.
Where are all your boys? All that's left is one
Continued questioning of the absence of companions.
And when I fucking smash your mirror then you having none
Reiteration of breaking a mirror and its consequences.
Hanging by a thread, got nowhere to run
Repetition of feeling trapped and having no options.
Walking on a wire and you weigh a ton
Continuation of the precarious journey with a heavy burden.
Where are all your boys? All that's left is one
Continued questioning of the absence of companions.
And when I fucking smash your mirror then you having none
Reiteration of breaking a mirror and its consequences.
