Next level lyrical insight is a moment away.
Lyrical Analysis of...
Material Things
- He totes a toaster to smoke any foe who comes closer, but the gun’s a poser
- He ain’t never shot no one, he’s only seen a shot when he was 10 but as he got older
- He moved further away from the commotion of the trigger chokers
- But kept a pistol in his pocket just to flash it like a pan, rugged holster
- Drugged or sober never shot it, never let the cops spot it nor did he cock it
- All day he would watch it wishing he could just pull it out and pop it
- But he was too afraid of the repercussions that would walk in
- So then the internet came, and he got in some beef with some other manes
- Now was the time to show his foes a glimpse of his gun, but it’s old as shit and done
- You could see the rust that hung from the barrel where the bullet flung
- And no one believed him when he said that he shot someone
- Cuz if you’re thug why aren’t you shooting up your foes, don’t front
- I ain’t saying to kill…but you too even know this, son
- What and who was here before me?
- And does it matter to my story
- Because if I can’t find some truth
- Then I know that life does not adore me
- What and who was here before me?
- And does it matter to my story
- Because if I can’t find some truth
- Then I know that life does not adore me
- Little man with his yellow shirt poppin’ out in the grey ghetto
- Convenient stores importing glucose to up your sugar levels
- He rode in his bike and every time that he turned a right on the lights
- To get to the store he saw the KFC in his sights, and their food he liked
- He would cop chicken, lick the bone until the marrow inside wouldn’t glisten
- Back of the parking lot he parked his bike while he was Coca Cola grippin’
- Finishin’ his meal before he sparked his wheels and took off from their kitchen
- Locked his bike on the rack in front of the store, he’d go in and buy some booze
- Cuz the first time he tried it he was high and woozed, and he liked the taste, surprised and cool
- Every day after his high school he’d pour up a glass and drink until the high moon
- His life consisted of cholesterol, riding wheels drunk from a buck a bottle
- Not knowing with that little change he got from the KFC could’ve struck the lotto
- What and who was here before me?
- And does it matter to my story
- Because if I can’t find some truth
- Then I know that life does not adore me
- What and who was here before me?
- And does it matter to my story
- Because if I can’t find some truth
- Then I know that life does not adore me
- My wish list on Christmas as a Christian was for chain for swingin’
- On my neck as it glistened and divided my ice from my skin like division
- And when I’d go to my classes, I’d have it out swinging like it was my business
- But as the time kept tickin’ and the clock signified the finish
- I would drive home, ride slow, bumping Wu Tang and Fu Schnickens
- And I’d see the frequent homeless man seated by the red light
- He staring at my Benz with my beats bangin’ right, my head’s tight
- And it’s stained, when my brain told me I was rocking that new chain
- When I saw him I tucked it under my shirt in shame, and I turned down the play
- Then the light turned green and then I unpaused it again
- Then the next light would be in the distance of the way
- Red again but the car beside me has a sexy chick with her hair swayin’
- So untucked the chain and got rid of all my shame, but she wouldn’t change
- Her face position to look at the fine chain that I slang
- So what’s the point of even having these material thangs, dang
- What and who was here before me?
- And does it matter to my story
- Because if I can’t find some truth
- Then I know that life does not adore me
- What and who was here before me?
- And does it matter to my story
- Because if I can’t find some truth
- Then I know that life does not adore me
