Alienated
Alienated Realities: Urban Dance Squad's Struggle Against Society's Shadows
Lyrics
Time to flex real yo' 3 minutes I steal yo
Expressing readiness to assert oneself authentically for a brief period.
Pay attention what I mentioned is cold like steel so
Highlighting the seriousness and coldness of the message being conveyed.
Life's like moby dick, get chewed, get spat out,
Life is compared to "Moby Dick," suggesting challenges and the possibility of being overwhelmed.
Weep with the handkerchief, built up 'n get to grips,
Expressing the need to confront difficulties and handle emotions.
Humans so shady, man it amazes me
Observation of human behavior being deceitful and surprising.
How I can't lose my cool and snipe like wesley
Reflecting on maintaining composure despite provocations, referencing Wesley Snipes' calm and skilled character.
Especially when testing me, god I might stun 'em
Facing challenges with confidence and potential consequences.
Got somethin' in common, then I run from 'em
Commonality can be a reason to distance oneself from others.
Alienated, alienated,
Feeling isolated or estranged from others.
People got me wrong man, a millionated
People misunderstand the speaker, feeling like an outsider.
So complicated, so frustrated,
Life is complex and frustrating, expressing a desire to escape through intoxication.
Wish I got faded, alienated
Wishing for a state of being under the influence to cope with alienation.
Livin' like john q citizen, one of you,
Living an ordinary life like any other citizen.
Skin I'm in is the same, brother ain't pullin' you,
Emphasizing the commonality of human experiences, despite differences.
Mind peace how can it last,
Questioning the sustainability of inner peace.
Each fragment by fragment, stroll with soul
Embracing life piece by piece with soulful awareness.
In control like the girl janet
Being in control, likened to the confidence of Janet Jackson.
Brotherman livin' slum,
Living in impoverished conditions.
Eyes demand give me some,
Expressing a demand for justice or equality.
I crawl too for a fat cheque 'n income,
Struggling for financial success and recognition.
Disbelief hissin', now think that I'm dizzin'
Addressing disbelief or skepticism, possibly about the speaker's intentions.
Innercity, urban zombie, won't you please listen ?
Describing the urban environment as lifeless and pleading for attention.
But I got to keep my head up
Commitment to staying positive despite challenges.
Whack black on black crime,
Condemning violence within the black community.
Destroyin' the black mind,
Highlighting the impact of negative influences on the black mindset.
Human beings never seeing,
Commenting on human ignorance and blindness to warning signs.
The toll 'n deadly sign
Referencing the toll and consequences of such ignorance.
A lotta love in chest - but I walk battledressed
Having love but being prepared for battle, a defensive stance.
Like pharcyde let it pass,
Letting go of negativity and stress, inspired by the Pharcyde's approach.
Bullshit 'n all the stress,
Recognizing the importance of composure in a predatory world.
Composure's best form, when world's predatory
Preparing for challenges with a composed demeanor.
When shit gets down I got some troops ready for me
Acknowledging the need for support when facing adversity.
All this is insanity, too close to reality
Commenting on the chaotic and too-real nature of the world.
Roll like ced-g, flex a spaceship mentality
Adopting a resilient mentality, comparing it to a spaceship.
But I got to keep my head up
Reiterating the commitment to maintaining a positive outlook.
