Lyrics

And life is all about a bluff

Life is akin to a bluff, comparable to playing cards

It's almost like playing cards, like

Continuing the analogy of life resembling a card game

I'd say it's moreso than um, I'd say moreso than I'd say shooting dice

Life's complexity exceeds that of shooting dice due to its molding nature

You know, because, you could change dices and stuff

Unlike dice, life isn't easily altered; it's rigid

But they can't, they hard, they can't mold

Life is inflexible, unlike dice that can be changed or molded

You know what I mean you just shooting, you shooting

Emphasizing the inability to shape life's outcomes compared to shooting dice

Cards could bend, cards could bend like life

Comparing the flexibility of cards to life, implying life's adaptability

Us and life, we can bend

Life and individuals have the capacity to be flexible despite adversity

And even though we had a bad hand, that don't mean we gon lose the fucking game

Having a disadvantageous start doesn't guarantee failure in life's game


Nod to it, nod to it, nod to it

Reiteration emphasizing the act of acknowledging or accepting life's challenges and complexities

Go ahead and not to it

-

I swear all the content is relatable, I swear

-

Just let it play it's course

-

Okay

-

Winning be the only thing they know you for

Success becomes defining, overshadowing other aspects of identity

And then everything changes like you Okafor

Reference to a change similar to basketball player Jahlil Okafor's circumstances

And you playing your role and keeping hold of what they hold you on

Maintaining one's role despite external perceptions

Remind 'em what they know until they know you gone

Reinforcing one's worth even after departure

Like do believe it, let your memory lock in

Encouraging belief in oneself and leaving a lasting impression

Like when locking the door soon as top become the topic

Referencing privacy and control over personal matters

And she take all that off seeing how roomy the drop is

Allusion to revealing vulnerability to explore new experiences

And I just want you all to feel the aura of the logic

Desire for others to grasp the underlying reasoning or truth

We can keep this shit honest, we all about a profit

Life driven by profits or gains, possibly at the expense of honesty

And I'm all kinda in love with the shit, like it's a problem

Admitting attachment to problematic behaviors or situations

'cause I seen how that problem, stood up on top of problems

Reflecting on confronting issues that stem from problems

Down for the count, I counted down and said "yo I'm in"

Willingness to engage despite risks or potential losses

Til I'm in, a 911 Porsche without a 911 call

Comparison to elements that commonly go together, like cars and specific areas

Round my way they go together like you rocking up a yard

Highlighting the unity or association of certain topics or elements

And if the topic that I'm on isn't quote on quote real

Questioning the authenticity or genuineness of the current focus

Then at least Apollo here to get a kill

Even if the current topic lacks authenticity, there's a skillful accompaniment

And you can still nod to it

Reiteration emphasizing the act of acknowledging or accepting life's challenges and complexities


Go ahead and nod to it

-

Nod to it

-

Go ahead and nod to it

-

You can still nod to it

-

Nod to it

-

Go ahead and nod to it

-

Nod to it

-

You can still nod to it

-

Nod to it

-

Go ahead and nod to it

-

Nod to it

-

You can still nod to it

-

Nod to it

-

Go ahead and nod to it

-

Swear it's like I'm Bleek Gilliam on the bridge hitting the trumpet

Continued emphasis on acknowledging life's complexities and challenges

Playing "Sing Soweto" in repetition for comfort

-

Know I sing for payrolls, but stuck on how you dub it

-

Like if ever you should share this and it puts out a discussion

-

There's a part of me that wants it to be everything that matters

-

Then there's part of me that grew up where you win off whipping batter

-

But this don't even matter, like why should we pretend

-

But if it came back up, then how should we begin?

-

In the thought of the greatest, with a story as vital

-

But when you get to aiming then they say you hit your rivals

-

I'm just aiming at making this shit here last forever

-

'Least a Wu X, and returning a DM from a joint that's Lisa Wu sketch

-

Do it how they taught us when they had us in the pocket

-

Said the aim will come in handy when they get away from logic

-

If the topic that I'm on isn't quote on quote real

-

Then at least Apollo here to get the kill

-

And you can still nod to it

-

Go ahead and nod to it

-

Nod to it

-

Go ahead and nod to it

-

You can still nod to it

-

Nod to it, nod to it, nod to it

-

You can still nod to it

-

Go ahead and nod to it

-

Nod to it

-

Go ahead and nod to it

-

You can still nod to it

-

Nod to it

-

Go ahead and nod to it

-

Nod to it

-

You can still nod to it
