Navigating Life's Turmoil: ShiGGa Shay's Reflections
Lyrics
2020, we got half the year gone
Reflecting on the year 2020, acknowledging that half of it has passed.
I ain’t been outta my house in so long
Expressing isolation and staying at home for an extended period.
got a mask on, pretending to be strong
Wearing a mask and putting on a facade of strength despite internal struggles.
Tired of hearing people telling me to stay strong
Frustration with constant advice to "stay strong" from others.
When I’m weak on the inside
Admitting vulnerability and weakness internally.
Life ain’t only all about your wins right?
Recognizing that life is not just about victories; there are challenges.
Karma’s real so we try not to sin right?
Acknowledging the existence of karma and attempting to avoid wrongdoing.
they watching us, where u gone where u been right
Feeling observed by others, questioning whereabouts and actions.
In the past tense,
Reflecting on the past.
See it all thru your iPhone lens
Viewing life events through the lens of a smartphone.
You don’t make a dolla then you don’t make cents
Emphasizing the importance of earning money.
To me, that don’t make no sense
Challenging the logic that not making a dollar makes no sense.
Money make the world go round
Stating the influence of money on the world.
but now the whole world upside down
Observing the world's current chaotic state.
Life is so hard and it might get even harder
Acknowledging life's difficulties and anticipating potential worsening.
Never thought it’ll be worse than growing up with no father
Comparing present challenges to the hardship of growing up without a father.
keep everything bottled cause we dont wanna be bothered
Preferring to keep emotions bottled up to avoid disturbance.
we can’t be bothered
Expressing a lack of interest or concern.
从小就只要快高长大
From childhood, the focus has been on growing up quickly.
need to put food on the table man, 还没吃饱
Highlighting the urgency of putting food on the table before being satisfied.
Problems everywhere, whole city feel anxiety
Describing pervasive problems in the city, leading to anxiety.
Same collective pain we feeling as a society
Shared pain experienced collectively as a society.
They say a picture paints a thousand words
Emphasizing the power of visual representation through a picture.
I’m bout to paint the realest shit you never heard
Promising to convey the most genuine and unheard truths.
Outta sight outta mind
Highlighting the tendency to forget things that are out of sight.
cant say the same for the Dolla sign
Emphasizing the lasting impact of the symbol of the dollar.
Sing dolla sing dolla sing
Repeating the phrase "Sing dolla" as a chant or mantra.
Sing dolla sing dolla sing
-Sing dolla sing dolla sing
-Sing dolla dolla bill y’all
-Sing dolla sing dolla sing
Repeating the chant, reinforcing the significance of the dollar.
Sing dolla sing dolla sing
-Sing dolla sing dolla sing
-Sing dolla dolla bill y’all
