Lyrics

(Easy to get locked in a place)

Expressing the ease of becoming trapped or confined in a situation.

(Easy to get locked in a place)

Reiteration of the theme of being easily confined or stuck.

Hmm

An expression of thought or contemplation.


Got enough issues, not enough tissue

Facing numerous problems without sufficient resources.

Got enough people tryna fuck with you

Dealing with people who are attempting to cause trouble or harm.

Tears held back in my reservoirs

Emotional turmoil with tears being held back.

Fuck it, I'ma let it pour in every single song

Choosing to express emotions openly in every song.

Tryna love now instead of war

Seeking love and peace instead of conflict.

And to stand tall like I'm seven-foot-four

Striving to stand tall and strong.

Keep the sinnin' low, keep my center low

Keeping sinful behavior to a minimum, maintaining a centered self.

I'ma never fall like the second floor story

Determined not to fall, using a metaphor of a second-floor story.

Keep the vessel pure, keep your vessel pure

Preserving one's inner purity and integrity.

That's some real shit not a metaphor, no

Asserting the reality of the statements, not a metaphorical expression.

Forego

Choosing to forego certain things or behaviors.

Nineteen, we all goin' home, whoa

Referring to the age of nineteen and the shared experience of going home.


But it's easy to get locked in a place (easy to get locked in a place)

Reiteration of the ease of getting stuck in a situation.

It's easy to get locked in a place (easy to get locked in a place)

Emphasizing the simplicity of becoming trapped.

But it's easy to get locked in a place

Repetition of the idea that getting stuck is easy.


Now I could tell you everything I been through

Offering the option to share personal experiences or leave some undisclosed.

Or I could leave some options on the menu for you

Expressing uncertainty about when financial obligations are due.

Wish I knew now when the, when the motherfuckin' rent due

Reflecting on childhood moments when financial struggles were present.

Mama, I made you buy me Jordans when you could not afford 'em

Acknowledging the sacrifices made by a parent to provide material things.

Please, forgive for my transgressions, uh

Seeking forgiveness for past mistakes or wrongdoings.

You could barely afford to drive down the I-95

Describing financial difficulties and the challenges of travel.

Got a bus down, gotta leave two hours prior

Indicating the need to plan ahead due to time constraints.

No time, but fuck it, no lie

Acknowledging the lack of time but expressing determination.

Go try to make some from nothing, oh my

Attempting to create something valuable from very little.

And daddy Oscar proud with the penny pinching

Acknowledging parental pride despite financial struggles.

I gotta hold my head high, wasn't Kelly with it

Remaining resilient despite challenges, possibly referencing R. Kelly.

It's free game if you care to listen, to me

Offering advice or sharing personal experiences for those willing to listen.


But it's easy to get locked in a place (easy to get locked in a place)

Repetition of the theme of getting locked in a place.

It's easy to get locked in a place (easy to get locked in a place)

Emphasizing the ease of getting trapped in a situation.

But it's easy to get locked in a place (easy to get locked in a place)

Reiteration of the idea that getting stuck is easy.

(The walls all closin' up on me)

Suggesting a feeling of confinement with walls closing in.

It's easy to get locked in a place (easy to get locked in a place)

Reemphasizing the ease of getting trapped.

(The walls all closin' up on me)

Continuing the sense of being confined with walls closing in.


Wide-eyed, seen it all too young, too young

Having experienced a lot at a young age and gaining wisdom from it.

And now I know, this light is nothing new

Realizing that the challenges faced are not unique.

Wide-eyed, racin' on these hills on both legs

Maintaining resilience despite facing challenges.

Still, still rollin'

Continuing to move forward despite obstacles.


But it's easy to get locked in a place (easy to get locked in a place)

Repetition of the theme of getting locked in a place.

It's easy to get locked in a place (easy to get locked in a place)

Emphasizing the ease of becoming trapped or stuck.

But it's easy to get locked in a place (easy to get locked in a place)

Reiteration of the idea that getting stuck is easy.

(The walls all closin' up on me)

Suggesting a feeling of confinement with walls closing in.

It's easy to get locked in a place (easy to get locked in a place)

Reemphasizing the ease of getting trapped.

(The walls all closin' up on me)

Continuing the sense of being confined with walls closing in.</td
