Shade
Shade Unveiled: Navigating Betrayal, Loyalty, and Street Realities
Lyrics
Look
Expressing a request for attention or acknowledgment
Aye, show me the difference
Asking to highlight the distinctions
Cause all these bitches look the same
Observing that many people appear similar
Act the same
Noting that they behave similarly
Catch a nigga throwing shade, catch a fade
Encountering negativity or criticism and being ready for confrontation
Like say what up to Granny at the heaven's gates
Referencing a deceased loved one and the concept of change
Yea we used to be bool but you know shit change
Acknowledging a past connection that has transformed
Nowadays I keep the tool every fucking day
Adopting a defensive mindset, possibly involving carrying a weapon
And that humble shit cool but I don't fuck with lames
Preferring not to associate with untrustworthy individuals
And the clip see through, you see what I'm saying
Describing a transparent magazine, emphasizing honesty
Got a bad bitch sending me nudes, help me concentrate
Receiving explicit photos from a woman as a form of concentration aid
She wanna come through but she can't see me operate
Expressing a reluctance to be distracted during important tasks
Gotta check the grapevine to see who got shot today
Checking for recent incidents of violence or conflict
Until them niggas gone Imma have to smoke a opp a day
Indicating a commitment to retaliation until a rival is eliminated
These my brothers bitch, I ain't got no friends
Affirming loyalty to close friends over casual acquaintances
Do what I said fuck what Simon says
Emphasizing personal authority over external influence
You know everything expensive in the Lions den
Highlighting the high cost of involvement in dangerous situations
And if a nigga disrespect it, off with his head
Promising severe consequences for disrespect
Like, don't make me cut the dreads
Warning against provoking a violent reaction
Don't make me almost end up on the news again
Expressing a desire to avoid negative publicity and attention
Like, sorry to inform you that your son is dead
Mockingly portraying a hypothetical notification of someone's death
Like 1k & the gang was on his ass
Referring to a past incident involving a gang pursuing an individual
Caught 'em lacking & I spent a bin
Describing an ambush resulting in a significant expense
Told bro to spend the block, I'm bouta spend again
Instructing a companion to retaliate and repeating the cycle
Yeah
Asserting a determination to stay until adversaries are eliminated
I ain't leaving till them niggas dead
Rejecting departure until achieving a specific goal
Lil broke niggas throwing shade & I peeped it
Observing negative comments from less fortunate individuals
You know how I play it, Smith & Wess for the defense
Describing a defensive approach using a firearm
Slide down his block … should've seen it
Narrating an intense encounter, suggesting it was memorable
It ain't shit to wrap a nigga up, chicken pita
Asserting proficiency in handling conflicts, likening it to wrapping food
Don't you see the baby bottle bitch, I been leaning
Pointing out substance use and its impact on perception
Dirty ass two liter chilling in the freezer
Describing a messy and neglected living environment
Freaky ass bitch keep telling me she need me
Receiving romantic attention from a woman with explicit desires
If she get hungry she getting Little Ceasers
Humorously suggesting a fast-food solution for hunger
And I brought the mop for the stains
Bringing a tool (possibly a weapon) to handle potential problems
I think Brody got a chop with a blade
Implying a companion's possession of a bladed weapon
And if a nigga want smoke, dig his grave
Threatening retaliation against those seeking conflict
I got a beam on the pole for the aim
Describing enhanced aiming capability with a firearm
Like, don't make me cut the dreads
Repeating a warning against provoking a violent reaction
Don't make me almost end up on the news again
Expressing a desire to avoid negative publicity and attention (repeated)
Like, sorry to inform you that your son is dead
Mockingly portraying a hypothetical notification of someone's death (repeated)
Like 1k & the gang was on his ass
Referring to a past incident involving a gang pursuing an individual (repeated)
Caught 'em lacking & I spent a bin
Describing an ambush resulting in a significant expense (repeated)
Told bro to spend the block, I'm bouta spend again
Repeating the instruction to retaliate and continue the cycle
Yeah
Asserting a determination to stay until adversaries are eliminated (repeated)
I ain't leaving till them niggas dead
Rejecting departure until achieving a specific
