Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It feels good to be back
Shit, even back then nigga
I was riding on ihalf tank ngqawa
Half fucking tank nigga
But still riding past these niggas
Sheesh
It's about to get bad for y'all
They telling me to get 'em, I ain't got 'em yet
You call yourself a killer, where the bodies at
I get to spitting just to show 'em where the Tommy at
No pretending, ain't got time to act
Had the blues, I was cripping
Couldn't swim, I was sinking
I could feel myself slipping
Kusta told me I'm tripping
Every week, different bitches
You would swear I was pimping
Had to expose who I am, so my soul started stripping
Yeah
Why y'all tripping with no passport
You want smoke I got a lighter on the dashboard
I'ma give it to you only if you ask for it
Get some free kicks to the nuts, I'm Marcus Rashford
Fuck the beat up 'til it stank
Niggas used to gas me up with only half a tank
Imagine when that shit get full, I'll leave you niggas blank
Goku had Vegeta, I got Kusta on my flank
Zamalek overdose
Michael Phelps, I'm gonn' float
Bend it over, touch your toes
Ride the beat, rollercoast'
043 the code, I proudly rep the city
Going for the throne and have us sitting pretty
Hit my phone and tell my dawg to come and get me
Guaranteed we're getting litty
Come through with no delay, all the girls on the way
I just found me a bae, look like Janelle Monae
She get kinky all day, ain't got one shade of grey
I'ma ask her to stay, think she's from Beacon Bay
Ya
Time to get some action
Body bagging rappers, put 'em in a casket
Let me drive the hearse, I'll make sure that I crash it
Five crazy bitches on my body like it's fashion
Fuck the beat up 'til it stank
Niggas used to gas me up with only half a tank
Imagine when that shit get full, I'll leave you niggas blank
Goku had Vegeta, I got Kusta on my flank
Zamalek overdose
Michael Phelps, I'm gonn' float
Bend it over, touch your toes
Ride the beat, rollercoast'

Why couldn't we just hear what this sounded like rather than dubbing it over with the original?
@tomdrawsstuffs6092
god knows why, man. out of all the things they changed, this is the one thing I would’ve liked a new cover of.
@kevinw6814
This. If it's not the live audio performance, don't call it a live performance. The title of this video is a straight-up lie.
@OG_Mereles
I simply refuse to believe it. It was dubbed right? This is the original OST over a video. Am I crazy or this makes NO sense at all?
@VonSpiegel
@@OG_Mereles It is, man. Such bull*hit!
@technomicah
Wow, what a performance.
Too bad I couldn't hear it!!!
@AlexssandroMeneses
I'm not defending the live action show at all but, i can say that at least the soundtrack is incredibly good.
@jdge439
I honestly really enjoyed it, second watch through.
So to me it feels like they really cared.
I got this Kill Bill vibe from it and then it hit me, ofcourse I did! The anime paid homage often to older movies and the old Kung fu classics. Well, did kill Bill and so does this, that's just kinda how it translates in live action, it's gonna be a little different! Once I had that realization, I settled in and am half way through episode 4 and thoroughly enjoying that it is what it is. An over the top love note to the past.
@SharpDesign
Same composer as the anime
@RuptimusPrime
Well, you should defend it. It's great
