BUILDING BLUEPRINT
Next level lyrical insight is a moment away.
Lyrical Analysis of...
“Two Sides”
- I got bars like prison, keys like vision,
- Locked in with God, still made boss decisions.
- I don’t need a crown when the pressure fit,
- Diamonds don’t shine ’til the dark get lit.
- I got two sides, both of ’em dangerous,
- One pray for peace, one came with arrangements.
- Pretty in the picture, but the frame got bars,
- I don’t chase stars —I became my scars.
- They say I got nerve —I call that survival,
- Bible on the dresser, blade in the title.
- Not for violence, for the cut in the writing,
- I split every lie ’til the truth start lighting.
- I’m from where love got limits and rent got raised,
- Where mama made miracles out of microwave trays.
- Now I cook with the pen, let the beat get seasoned,
- If I ate off pain, then the pain had reason.
- I got soul in the soles of these gold stilettos,
- Stepped over devils, still danced through ghettos.
- If my past got dirt, then my roots got depth,
- I don’t fear death —I already buried myself.
- Came back grown, came back cold, came back chosen,
- Ocean in my chest, but my face stayed frozen.
- They thought I was washed, I was tide shifting,
- Now every bar got weight like I’m rhyme lifting.
- Two meanings in a line, two lives in a woman,
- One survived the fire, one learned how to cook in it.
- One smile for the room, one plot in the dark,
- One hand on God, one hand on the art.
