Jordan
4-4-1 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It's harder to get a rest when you think you're lazy, but
Stayin' on my feet like Js, yeah
I keep it on my feet like Js, I got
Dreams thats calling me
Friends that's stalling me
Wrote these songs for the thoughts that get in the way, yeah
I don't care what they say, I keep it on my feet like Js
The greatest men to do this only started aged thirty
I've been watching Jesus Nipsey and Jay
And finding peace in all my struggles like it's part of the way
I know I'm better than these rappers
That keep popping and dropping what they call bangers
My only wish is you make it
Your wins could never stop ours
It's just the way that we play the sport
Cos even wheelie you keep on sleeping I'll be on the court
I'm 23 call me Jordan
See all these drills I'm recording
Not quite the way I was built
But look how I'm spending this morning
My pockets calling me hungry
My Brains been calling me rich
My parents calling my phone
Anxiety causing a twitch
I put a story on my close
They see my eyes
It's just a part of my complexion
They think the way I work is just a part of my profession
But she knows me better Maxx been telling me I need to slow
I've been on my own
focused on this lane I'm on the go
Getting used to cutting ties even after showing the vision
Cos if they fail to see then our cars might come in collision
Uh
Like our cars will come in collision
I'm tryna show you the future but ego struggles to listen
He lost a piece of the puzzle
Went for a piece of the pie
Me I'm just looking at them like
when do we call this a lie
I'm getting used to severing these ties
And put new laces on my Jordan's like it's compromise
I guess I'm talking to myself to just prepare me
If the people don't believe me
I'm watching Michael Jordan say his rise was never easy
All the creases that must be on his shoes
Like the promise of a failure is just the dumbest excuse
I guess I'm saying
I walk by faith and not by sight
My shots don't cease, I found my fight cause
I don't care what they say, I keep it on my feet like J's
I got dreams that's calling me, friends that's stalling me
Wrote these songs for the, thoughts that gettin' away
I don't care what they say, I keep it on my feet like J's
I pray my people stay around me but sometimes it's hard to trust that
And yes Ive been inside that energy's been hard to muster
My social battery's been running on fumes
I get it back the time I spend constructing one of my tune
Imagine faking when you put the pen to paper
all I'm chasing is the feeling
The truth behind these lines is like some therapy
That's healing the person hurting inside
He'd never talk without these chords I know I'm riddled with pride
Or so she tells me
My mum is calling me crazy
Bet she don't envy my girl
My girls a little delusional just to live in my world
She says it's something about me
Must be the way that I stride
All these miles I've clocked inside these shoes is showing on my soul
Imagine you was just a kid and you're the poorest of your friends
See your friends they live in mansions
While you been living in ends
And you never tell your friends a single thing about where you live
Cos you know the stigma follows you they probably won't believe
That your mum she worked a teacher and your dad he works a med
But the circumstances making it harder to keep you fed
Any money left he keeps for his brothers to help them too
So it's rude to ask for Js cos there's no money for your shoes
So you've got to grind and make it cos that's the thing that you saw
Any room you made it into meant that you squeezed through the door
And still you got the same shoes
Cos even now you've got these Js you never use
I hope that Jordan will forgive me
Cos he know the feeling when you've got this hunger
Of chasing what you miss
but when you get it then you wonder
What's the price I really paid to show my teachers that it's true
That i'm worth a little higher than the price I got these shoes
I got dreams that's callin' me, friends that's stallin' me
Wrote these songs for the thoughts that gettin' away
I don't care what they say, I keep it on my feet like J's
I walk by faith and not by sight
My shots don't cease, I found my fight cos
I don't care what they say, I keep it on my feet like J's
I walk by faith and not by sight
My shots don't cease, I found my fight cause
I don't care what they say, I keep it on my feet like J's
I walk by faith and not by sight
My shots don't cease, I found my fight cause
I don't care what they say, I keep it on my feet like J's
The lyrics of "Jordan" by 4-4-1 depict a lifestyle revolving around smoking marijuana, living slowly, and trying to change one's life. The singer talks about stacking racks and putting effort into transforming his life. The mention of inviting someone over to smoke skunk weed and being impressed by a woman wearing Jordan Four shoes sets the scene for a night of indulgence. The reference to staying up until four in the morning, engaging in intimate activities, and acknowledging the potential of his music in changing someone's life adds layers to the narrative.
The lyrics further delve into the singer's interactions with this woman who seems enamored by his music and persona. She shines like a star on the catwalk, enjoys their encounters, and seems captivated by his forward-thinking mindset. Despite indulging in a hedonistic lifestyle, the singer reflects on how everything depended on him, symbolized by smoking green and living in a euphoric state. There's a sense of ambition and a desire for success as he envisions making money and facing judgment from others.
The collaboration with DSMD7 introduces another perspective, where a woman injects excitement and pleasure into the singer's life. She brings dopamine, enjoys playfully dominating, and embodies a carefree attitude. The description of lavish gifts and explicit interactions underscores a hedonistic relationship dynamic. Despite the superficiality, there is a mutual attraction and a sense of addiction that binds them together, as highlighted by the woman's admiration for the singer's lifestyle.
Nevi7's verse adds a layer of braggadocio and swagger to the song, emphasizing the intoxicating effect of the singer's music and persona. There's a hedonistic pleasure in getting high, enjoying expensive fragrances, and indulging in a luxurious lifestyle. The references to designer brands and material indulgence underscore a theme of excess and opulence. The repetition of being addicted to both the music and the woman's allure encapsulates a sense of intoxication and obsession that fuels their interactions and relationships. Overall, "Jordan" explores themes of hedonism, ambition, addiction, and the pursuit of a lavish lifestyle amidst a backdrop of smoking, indulgence, and musical success.
