Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Ey ey ey ey ey
Let's go
How can you judge my path
When you know my path is chosen truss
My bars come through like shuriken and make you jump no shonen rasengan
Family is set in stone friends are carved in after you know
Wearing new gang clothes screaming this is sparta this is sparta
We are what we are
This is what we do uh huh
Check my face im a star woo woo
And we come with that platoon
Got the city on my back you know
When were coming through
It's the new gang bros
Yeah we rolling with the
Crew love
I aint talking all that goon stuff
I dont need to be acting tough
I act enough yeah thats whats up
I just worry bout my income stacking up
So if your on a grind then come stack with us
Rap with us
Yeah jump on the track with us
Join the team with us
It will never be treasonous
Cause we keep the city on our back like a shoulder blade
Now that im getting paid
But you dont know the days
And all the nights I pray
That it would end this way
And I would blow like a live grenade
It's a war zone woo
Better stake your claim
I got a shot so I'm taking aim and when I shoot its safe to say
You disappear like david blaine you disappear like david blaine o my
We are what we are
This is what we do
Check my face im a star
And we come with that platoon
Got the city on my back
When were coming through
It's the new gang bros
Yeah we rolling with the
Arteta with the tactics jheeeze
Causing fire with the matchsticks boom
Ripping all through the plastic eyyy
Lost it now Im frantic let's go
Mob ties
No lies
Co sign
Dont try
Great vine
Take time
Rolling with some sick guys
Low key
Showed me
How to keep it cool like lofi
Switch up the variant loki jheeeze
Dont get to cozy
And dont act like you know me
I'm bringing fire in the booth now it's about to get smokey smokey
Nah this aint kareoke
I'm like a rap god so let's make this holy
And show me
How you pray when I spray spray spray spray
No I dont come to play play play play
Do this like schmit all day day day day
Them im on my way way way way
To give you one wish like im ray j ray j
And I can't convey
How it feels to lay
On a sunnyday
And know my papers straight
My bank accumulates
Like its automated
Now I'm alternating
Between the life I got and the life Im making
Balance my pride and passion on a libra scale
There's no need to fail
I never been to jail
Yeah Im on the right track and I cant derail
All that I inhale
Is the game and I play it well
Good vibes pink garms is what I entail
And I exhale
Excellency
And if you listen closely then I know you'll agree
It's a wrap panini woo




I cut em of like dizzie
And send em back to trizzee

참고로 저땐 인이어도 없고 음향시설도 완전 저질 수준이어서 발라드 가수도 어쩔수없이 립싱크를 해야했던 시대 였음 저런 상황에서 라이브를 안정감있게 정말 무대를 즐기듯이 하는 것부터 H.O.T가 왜 전설인지 보여준다
