Lyrical Analysis of...
Adult Swim Remix
- //Intro 0:00 0:18
- Tell my ex I’m on the wave again
- Tell my demons they can't stay again
- Tell my bros we really paid the rent
- Built this from the basement, not a single cent
- Didn’t ask for much, just space to bend
- And a mic that ain’t break when I pace and vent
- Got a list of regrets that I made my pen
- Now my notebook feel like it raised a man
- //Verse 1 0:18 0:50
- This that ramen in the kettle when the power’s out
- This that shout from the crowd when you had the doubt
- This that split screen feel, like a side quest
- Told the label I’m not hungry —I’m obsessed
- Who you know still honest in the 808s?
- Still anime and heartbreak on dinner plates
- Still drive like I’m broke in a stolen Benz
- Still talk to my God like we texting friends
- Had a dream where the booth turned gold
- And I spit so clean that the mic grew mold
- And my girl in the back with her blue eyed glow
- Sayin’, “You were meant for this, now let it show”
- //Bridge 0:50 1:12
- I been floatin’ in the backseat
- Moonroof gone and my phone on sleep
- And the beat go “ba dum” like it got cold feet
- So I chase my past with a low heartbeat
- My friends say “RYD, don’t lose that flame”
- But I burn so bright I forgot my name
- Like who am I when the sound cuts out?
- Just a voice in the dark tryna scream self doubt
- //Verse 2 1:12 1:44
- Got a line so clean make the Devil flinch
- Put a halo on pain just to feel the pinch
- They don’t write like this —they just post and rinse
- I been spittin’ like a pastor with a crypto glitch
- Pull up in the Civic with a tank on “E”
- Still make ‘em feel God through an MP3
- Still tape up dreams on the cracked TV
- Where the volume stuck but the soul stay free
- And I ghost in the text like I haunt my friends
- Like “Yo, I’ll hit you back once the track gon’ end”
- But the track never end ‘cause the world too bent
- So I loop this life till the bars all spent
- //Hook 1 1:44 2:06
- No cartoon, this is Adult Swim
- This that “cry real soft then you grin”
- This that “hit rock bottom and begin”
- This that “soul on wax with a pin”
- This ain’t reruns, this is prime time
- I ain't punchin’ in —this is lifelines
- You watchin’ my heart on a flat screen
- Midnight wave, no laugh scene
- //Beat switch –verse 3 2:06 2:36
- I was broke, tryna bend like light
- Now I shine like I owe myself spite
- Now I ride like the wheels don’t spin
- Feet off ground, but I still get wins
- I be that glitch in the static
- Magic in the margins
- Drew my pain in a pad
- Now it’s hangin’ in the gardens
- This ain’t just a song —it’s a ritual
- Made of loss, love, and a miracle
- I could cry and float in the same breath
- Turn a heartbreak into a new step
- //Verse 4 2:36 3:06
- Yeah
- I’m the one that the city ain’t get
- 'Cause I ain’t wanna flex with a social check
- Rather spend time with my girl on deck
- She a stylist to be, got the curls all set
- We just dream in loops
- Plot our next move in the anime booth
- Told me, “Keep that pen, you the truth”
- Now I ghostwrite pain in the vocal booth
- When they talk about me in a decade's time
- Say I kept it 100 like a second rhyme
- Say I bent all rules ‘cause I never signed
- And my art got a pulse that could skip time
- //Hook 2 3:06 3:28
- This ain’t no cartoon, baby, this Adult Swim
- I don’t fake moves, I just dive in
- All these scars got me stylin’
- And I been gone, but I’m dialed in
- No reruns, no laugh tracks
- Just deep cuts and flashbacks
- Still float when the tide’s black
- Still smile when the past cracks
- //Spoken Outro 3:28 4:55
- Bro...
- I remember we watched Toonami like it was church
- Bag of off brand chips, volume low so my mom ain’t chirp
- And you said to me —
- “You think we could make something real?
- Like something that outlives our fear?”
- And I ain’t say nothin’
- But look at us now.
- I ain’t even write this...
- I bled it.
