FOREST
Rising from the Forest: A Journey through Struggle and Triumph
Lyrics
Yeahhhh
Expression of enthusiasm or affirmation.
I'ma lift myself up now
Expressing determination to improve oneself.
I got a bad bitch, she rollin through the cut now
Refers to having an attractive and confident partner.
Got a number and a molly cap popped now
Indication of drug use (molly cap popped).
Get me numb so I can put up with her touch now
Desire to numb oneself to tolerate physical contact.
Yeahhhh
Repetition of line 1, emphasizing the positive attitude.
I'ma lift myself up now
Repetition of lines 2-5, reinforcing the theme.
I got a bad bitch, she rollin through the cut now
-Got a number and a molly cap popped now
-Get me numb so I can put up with her touch now
-Every time I leave the crib, slide up in the ride
Describing a lifestyle involving drugs, secrecy, and escapism.
Smokin loud I got the window tint, it stay inside
-Don't like people but got visions of Rodeo Drive
-I'll sell my soul to get me fucked up and hide my eye
-They tellin me cool it
Embracing a rebellious attitude, willingness to prove oneself, and pursuing pleasure despite potential consequences.
I'ma get through it, a bag in a night
-A Ruger to prove it, you stuck in the Forest, ain't leavin alive
-I'm rude but I'm honest, the mix is so fluid ya girl gonna slide
-She say that I'm perfect, she want it all night
-So I'm gonna do it, it sure isn't right
-Feelin
Expressing toughness, confidence, and skill in various aspects of life.
Trapped with my back up against a wall
-Rap like I'm boutta catch a sack, no pause
-Tap in the back of your cap, i'ma snatch your dreams
-Matter fact, you ain't scheme at all
-Think you got hands? In the ring, let's brawl
-Tank in the size of a man, won't fall
-I'm strong from the shit that I seen, no stall
-I rap at an 8 and I'm clean, that's ball
-Yeahhhh
Reiteration of determination and reliance on a partner.
I'ma lift myself up now
-I got a bad bitch, she rollin through the cut now
-Got a number and a molly cap popped now
-Get me numb so I can put up with her touch now
-Yeahhhh
-I'ma lift myself up now
-I got a bad bitch, she rollin through the cut now
-Got a number and a molly cap popped now
-Get me numb so I can put up with her touch now
-Look at the way that I walk
Metaphorical weight on the speaker's shoulders, a desire for relief.
Keepin it tall
-But I got a weight on my shoulder that breakin my back, I want it to fall
-It makin me twisted, I walk with a limp, got scars on my face
Feeling misunderstood, judged, and labeled negatively.
They think I'm an animal, sayin' I need to be caged 'fore I catch a new case
-The way they say it, sounds easy doesn't it
Contrasting the perceived ease of the situation with the reality of persistent struggle.
Like I been stuck, but I really love it
-Just gotta work hard to make somethin of it
-But you all dead wrong, I'm a seasoned struggler
-Stripes on my arm, they engraved in blood
Symbolic reference to earned stripes, strength, and resilience in overcoming challenges.
Mean I got strength to invade the public
-Paired with a drive, make em think I'm bluffin
-Then I bounce right back and start scrapin budgets
-This is effort blessed, this is true direction
Acknowledging effort and direction, with a positive impact on family.
Signal every scout chillin in my section
-Mama sittin cloud 9, heaven steppin
-New Louis V, make her feel impressive
-Got my inspiration, that's Cole and PRZNT
Identifying inspirations and influences in the music industry.
Joyner too, can't forget the Tech/Em
-Trippin off the juice, I'm gonna fight like Tekken
-Start infectin fans like I'm the Evil Resident
-Yeahhhh
Repetition of determination and reliance on a partner.
I'ma lift myself up now
-I got a bad bitch, she rollin through the cut now
-Got a number and a molly cap popped now
-Get me numb so I can put up with her touch now
-Yeahhhh
-I'ma lift myself up now
-I got a bad bitch, she rollin through the cut now
-Got a number and a molly cap popped now
-Get me numb so I can put up with her touch now
-This is for all the people, didn't think I had it
Asserting achievements, facing criticism, and expressing past betrayal.
Bet you bobbin your head while I'm wreakin havoc
-You wanna talk mad shit but the beat won't have it
-Only time I been hurt is when the people stabbed me
-Stay sleepin on me in your pink pajamies
Addressing those who underestimate the speaker's potential.
Wake up to a world where I'm takin grammies
-All the homies gonna stay, thank God they found me
-While you pressed on the internet, fuck from round me
-Yeahhhh
Reiteration of determination and reliance on a partner.
I'ma lift myself up now
-I got a bad bitch, she rollin through the cut now
-Got a number and a molly cap popped now
-Get me numb so I can put up with her touch now
