Lyrics
Artists watching artist, watch each other for the flag
Artists observe and compete with each other, seeking recognition or approval.
One shot into the air!
A symbolic gunshot, perhaps signaling the beginning of a competitive struggle.
Before we race to stab each other's backs
Before engaging in betrayal or deceit against one another.
Will you climb the ranks?
Asking if one will strive to climb the hierarchy or achieve success.
We're all staring towards a sun of gold
All individuals are aiming for a valuable goal or success.
Without an inkling of what it is or what it's worth
People pursue success without understanding its true nature or value.
Just instinct to succeed
The desire to succeed is driven by instinct.
Can I shock you?
Questioning the ability to surprise or impress someone.
I doubt it, you're jaded
Expressing skepticism about the person's ability to be surprised due to being jaded.
Can I create the songs that I want?
Asking if one can create the music they desire.
Two generations fight for attention
Two generations competing for attention or recognition in the music industry.
Made of pure oil, nothing but standards
Referring to the music industry as impure, driven solely by standards.
For us to live by
Standards that individuals must adhere to for survival.
There shouldn't be a waste of time
Emphasizing the importance of not wasting time.
Busy yourself, learn a trade
Encouraging individuals to acquire skills and succeed before death.
And conquer this before your corpse is gone
Disposed waste symbolizing negativity, hoping for positive growth.
Feeding shit into the ground
Disposing of negativity in the hope that positivity will flourish.
In hopes that the forest will grow
Optimistically contributing to the growth of a positive future.
Producing copies of copies
Producing imitations until the original essence is lost.
Until the pepper is not tasted
Continuing a process until the essence or flavor is completely lost.
The bite is totally gone
Emphasizing the complete loss of essence or impact.
The bite is gone
Reiterating the loss of essence or impact.
Gossip, it all starts from the mouth
Gossip originates from deceptive performers.
Of a crooked traveling act
Deceptive performers unaware that music should be free from egos.
Naive to the fact that music has no place for egos
Highlighting the incompatibility of egos with the purity of music.
From the mouth
Gossip continues to spread negativity.
Filth spills out
Negative information spills out from deceptive sources.
No angel lives, his presence is missed
No virtuous person exists; their absence is felt.
Tripp, you still speak to me
A specific person (Tripp) continues to have an influence despite their absence.
No angel lives, their presence is missed
Reiterating the absence of virtuous individuals and Tripp's enduring impact.
Tripp, you still speak to me!
Tripp's influence persists despite their absence.
Enraged those comments exist
Expressing anger at negative comments.
Words from anonymous, soon you're exposed
Negative comments from anonymous sources are soon revealed.
Enraged that those comments exist
Reiterating anger at the existence of negative comments.
I'll hunt you down, when karma is void
Expressing a desire for justice or retribution when karma is absent.
