Lyrics
Yea yea... Sick
Expression of agreement or affirmation; acknowledging the situation
Ay. We sick of hanging chucks up
Expressing frustration with the recurring act of hanging up Chuck Taylor sneakers, possibly as a symbol of loss or mourning
We losing niggas to these streets
Acknowledging the loss of individuals to street violence
It's like the older that I get the more I'm vegan to the beef
As one ages, they become more averse to unnecessary conflicts or disputes
Sending my condolences like every other week
Offering condolences regularly due to frequent instances of loss
See em laying in that field somebody kid under that sheet
Witnessing the aftermath of violence, with someone's child under a sheet in the street
Somebody son, somebody daddy
Highlighting the familial connections of the victims
He barely left the block he ain't even get to travel
Describing the limited experiences of the deceased, emphasizing their local confinement
Babies smiling at the wake they don't even know what's happening
Children unaware of the tragedy, smiling at the funeral
Not knowing the last time they gon' see em' is in that casket
Uncertain when they will see the deceased again, possibly indicating a dangerous environment
In that house he was pop in them streets he was active
Detailing the dual life of the deceased, family man at home and active in the streets
Now they grow up with the pain that somebody made em' a bastard
Offspring growing up with the pain of being fathered by someone involved in criminal activities
Momma feeling like she ain't do enough
Mother feeling inadequate in her parenting role
And daddy sick he wasn't round he was choosing up
Father absent due to choosing a different path
Or maybe he ain't come up to that school enough
Suggesting the father's absence from school events
He was tryna do too much
Father trying to do too much, possibly involving himself in dangerous activities
Ain't tell him switch it up when he was wearing red or blue too much
Failure to guide the deceased away from gang affiliations
Or tell him come on home when he was banging with the crew too much
Not advising the deceased to come home when involved with a potentially harmful group
And now everybody going through too much
Expressing the overwhelming challenges faced by everyone
I'm sick of hanging chucks up
Reiteration of the frustration with the act of hanging up Chuck Taylor sneakers
I'm sick of hanging chucks up
-Yea
-I'm sick of hanging chucks up
-I'm sick of hanging chucks up
-Chucks up yea yea yea yea yea
-Red chuck blue chuck hanging on that power line
Visual imagery of Chuck Taylor sneakers hanging on a power line, symbolizing urban struggles
Got us going out our mind
Feeling overwhelmed and out of control, possibly due to violence and substance abuse
Feeling like we running out Hennessy and out of time
-Shit is getting out of hand niggas
-Niggas getting out of line
-Hope I don't get out of mine
-My momma don't deserve it
Expressing concern for the safety of loved ones, particularly the mother
But some niggas looking for it instead of looking for they purpose
-That's why them 3AM calls make me nervous
-And when they back to back I know it's urgent
Describing urgent situations involving violence, with potential consequences from both criminals and law enforcement
Cause niggas riding round with that chop on em'
-100 with the beam make it lock on em'
-Flopped on em'
-Now they got the opps on em and cops on em.
-Karma and God on em'
Highlighting the inevitability of karma and divine intervention
Niggas on that playground
Metaphorical depiction of violent actions in a playground setting
Swing sticks slide on em'
-He got too much pride on em'
Consequences of taking a life and facing legal repercussions
Nigga took a life and now the judge put a life on em'
-2 more niggas gone
Expressing the ripple effect of violence on families and children
2 more families torn
-2 more single mothers on they on
-2 more kids 3 more kids 4 more kids alone
-I'm sick of hanging chucks up
Reiteration of frustration with hanging up Chuck Taylor sneakers
I'm sick of hanging chucks up
-Yea
-I'm sick of hanging chucks up
-I'm sick of hanging chucks up
-Chucks up yea yea yea yea yea
Concluding expression of frustration and sorrow
