Dive
Uncharted Depths: A Dive into Life's Journey
Lyrics
No control, no remote
Feeling without restraint or guidance, seeking control
I go fishing for the hope
Actively searching for optimism or a positive outlook
Michael Phelps with the stroke
Comparing oneself to Michael Phelps, excelling with skill or talent
Cast the line and then I'll go
Casting out efforts or attempts and then proceeding
Dive, dive, dive, dive, dive, dive, dive, dive
Repeatedly immersing oneself, going deeper into something
We slide
Reiteration of diving or committing intensely to a situation
We slide
-Dive, dive, dive, dive
-Squad up for the cameras
Coming together for public appearances or exposure
Tour bus was a Camry
Transition from humble beginnings to a more recognizable status
Came up from the bandos
Progressing from disadvantaged areas or situations
Hotel was a front seat
Utilizing limited resources as a temporary solution
Never had a plan B
Commitment without an alternative plan
Had the venues gettin' wild
Performances becoming lively and engaging
No politics had the labels all convinced
Avoiding involvement in political matters, focusing on music
Asking us about the sound
Record labels curious about the musical style
I wanted to talk about God, woah
Desire to discuss spiritual matters rather than secular topics
4 a.m. rapping at bars, woah
Navigating through challenges and late-night struggles
Nobody wanted my spot, woah
Others not vying for the same position
30 a month was a lot
Achieving a level of income that was once considered substantial
Still moving like we independent
Maintaining independence despite progress
If you so anti-social, why you in our mentions?
Questioning someone's claim of being anti-social while engaging online
It's a gang, it's a gang
Emphasizing a sense of unity or belonging
Yep, yep
-It's a gang, it's a gang
-No control, no remote
Repetition of the desire to dive or immerse deeply into a situation
I go fishing for the hope
-Michael Phelps with the stroke
-Cast the line and then I'll go
-Dive, dive, dive, dive, dive, dive, dive, dive
-We slide
-We slide
-Dive, dive, dive, dive
-I stood next to all your favorite rappers
Being in proximity to popular musicians without seeking attention
I ain't ask for no pictures
Avoiding seeking favors or special treatment
Never asked for no handouts, or some "can we get wit'cha?"
Not relying on others for support or advancement
We made it look easy, but the fact remains
Acknowledging the difficulty despite making it seem effortless
This right here is so special
Recognizing the significance of the moment
Not just 'cause I'm saying it
Asserting the importance of the situation, regardless of personal bias
Had a few of y'all come tell us
Receiving encouragement or positive feedback from others
Had a few of y'all really pray for us
Others offering genuine prayers or support
When you said you would and that blessed us
Being appreciative and acknowledging blessings from support
Hold up, wait
Pause or hesitation in the narrative
I ain't ever seen any competition
Confidence in their own abilities without perceiving competition
We do all numbers, still no pressure
Achieving success without feeling pressure
I'm still on my God bless ya
Continuing to stay true to spiritual beliefs and blessings
Put a prayer on your head, bless up
Offering blessings or well-wishes to others
Since Wayne had the Compressor
References to past influences or experiences
Or 25 lighters on the dresser
-And we came from the dirt, from the bottom, the muscle, whatever you call it
Emerging from difficult circumstances, attributing success to a higher power
Just know it was God whenever you discuss it
Asserting the involvement of spirituality in their journey
My life like a book, opened up to the public
Sharing personal experiences with the public
I love it, you know!
Expressing enjoyment and satisfaction with their life
No control, no remote
Reiteration of the desire to dive or immerse deeply into a situation
I go fishing for the hope
-Michael Phelps with the stroke
-Cast the line and then I'll go
-Dive, dive, dive, dive, dive, dive, dive, dive
-We slide
-We slide
-Dive, dive, dive, dive, (dive, dive, dive, dive)
Repetition emphasizing the act of diving
