Lyrical Analysis of...
Another Body (ft. HarryTrevPev)
- //Verse: RapBoat//
- People saying my name like it’s a prayer or a warning, it depends
- On who you ask, I command em just by looking at them
- And flashing the Ruger tucked in my hoodie, I’m sitting on the broken steps
- Of the building, the same ones I used to post up on with the rest
- Of the crew, now they’re all either dead, locked up, or they went corporate
- But I stayed out of a sense that leaving meant letting go
- Of the last thing that had ever made me feel in control, but it’s changed though
- Gentrification bleeding, they replaced the old corner store, pastel painted bike lanes
- Over bullet holes, the potholes are grave markers, I know all of their names
- Light a Newport, and I haven’t touched a bottle in a while
- Everything’s louder now without the distractions, the weight in the silence
- Makes you hear things, like gunshots and sounds that never belonged in this timeline
- And sirens that never arrived when they should’ve, a crime scene in my mind, with
- Yellow tape and roaches, I see a news chopper hovering above like a vulture
- The city’s always on the brink of another headline, until the culture
- Moves on, the air is thick, radio’s playing static, I open the freezer
- Nothing but ice, and to test my discipline, a bottle of cheap gin
- Move to the window, pull aside the yellowing blinds, see murals fading
- Tap the side of the window where a bullet had once grazed me
- The glass still bears the impact, a spiderweb crack fanning out like a warning
- Pull the floorboard loose with a screwdriver, and reveal my gun
- The weight of it in his hand is comforting, and then I hear a thud
- Someone running in the hallway, no knock, but I don’t flinch though
- It’s part of the house’s DNA, I sit back down, cigarette burning down to the filter
- //Chorus: RapBoat//
- Sun’s bleeding orange, which means tension in this city
- Streetlights flickering on, another body sitting
- Beneath headlines, then I hear them knock, they’re bangin’
- On the door, whoever’s there isn’t bringing salvation
- //Verse: HarryTrevPev//
- Segregation may have saved you from my feeble tool, too
- Reputation of the darkest day the light I spew, do, people recognize in fright like cowards every view
- Ain't no courage in 'em dawg, such a disappointing harvest in their catalog
- Reanointing no applaud, saints with chainsaws saw the logs, seen their branches y'all call bars
- Are, uninventive if I say at least, please add piece of thought or peace, I mean I see you lack
- See you rap, see your tracks, I've laid down harder hotter keys, know my lines are hot as lava
- A martyr, I said this once I'll chant it again, my style 'n dimes be dread for your men
- They'll try 'n defend, the lies they pretend, denying my pen, revising it then
- They practice 'n practice for perfect of tion, Ronaldo they train, in vain 'cause my shots always bend (Messy)
- //Chorus: RapBoat//
- Sun’s bleeding orange, which means tension in this city
- Streetlights flickering on, another body sitting
- Beneath headlines, then I hear them knock, they’re bangin’
- On the door, whoever’s there isn’t bringing salvation
- //Verse: HarryTrevPev//
- Know my pistol never take a break it sizzles, as I make you pay in riddles
- Though reflection better little, critical to say the goat is brittle, weak minded deflection crash out
- I bar n's out with no doubt like a sheep, Ma always told me I'm bits of a king
- Linguistic precision 'n vision of things, nobody caught what I did with the ling
- Bar like a ba from a sheep in a ring, Ma like a maa of the goat that I am
- Speaking in tongues as a young in a man, damning the lands 'n the dams
- Rereading the meanings I spit with a dim, lantern a quill 'n a bill of your sins
- Green as the greed of the corporate machine, wills 'n the testament made in a dream
- Fevers arising while neither redeemed, bats 'n the wonder have blunder it seems
- Pricing my style at a billion a sentence, under which circumstance I will earn reverence
- Citing my collapse to money 'n earth, decadence guns drugs 'n ones I'm immersed
- //Chorus: RapBoat//
- Sun’s bleeding orange, which means tension in this city
- Streetlights flickering on, another body sitting
- Beneath headlines, then I hear them knock, they’re bangin’
- On the door, whoever’s there isn’t bringing salvation
