You popping xannys, hoping the pain goes away but it only comes back in your sleep
Jumping through dreams, I just pull out a beam, and I pop the glock until I see blood dripping
Now you begging for me to set you free, but I cut off your wings, so now you stuck with me
Now I'm killing these shows everywhere that I go and niggas trynna clone cause I'm bad to the bone
Hopefully I can just get the fuck on so I can quit my job and leave this hell hole
Cause I'm sick of living check to check, who up next I slit they neck
Bet I make it to the top and prove that they are second best
And now the goal is shuffle my deck and leave the whole field wrecked
Then resurrect the realness and kill shit until there's nothing left
I flip the industry upside down until they see I'm the best
This the shit that they fear in church, if you the best then I'm the worst
I told F-Note to extend the verse, enough dead bodies to extend a hearse
This a massacre/genocide, commit suicide if you don't wanna die
Catch twenty two, catch this twenty two, that's two and two plus two two
Get a tutu for these young thugs, I'm from a place where they spill blood
Where it's all hate, but it's still love, be on the other side but that's still blood
That's fucked up, but no fucks given, you switched sides, your fates are given
Take more shots than Scottie Pippen, I seen it happen while getting lifted
Got damn this the intro, why the fuck we have to do it to em
Ya'll tripping off benzos, watch me fly, I'mma super human
You a stupid human to a deity, watch fall and then watch em bleed
YMCMB looking ass you ain't shit to me
It's a mystery why I rap nigga
Probably just to scare these rap niggas
Kill niggas till I'm that nigga then move music like crack nigga
My bro and sister like top 3, and I'm not 2, and I'm not 3
What that mean I reign supreme, like no offense but I gotta be
In these lyrics, 73bbp#38;f's song "begin" explores themes of authenticity, struggle, and ambition. The artist questions the legitimacy of those who claim to be more genuine than him. He challenges their credibility by highlighting the temporary relief they seek through drugs like Xanax, which only worsens their pain when they are confronted with reality in their sleep. This suggests that true authenticity comes from facing and overcoming difficulties, rather than escaping them.
The artist describes a scenario in which he confronts someone in a dream, brandishing a firearm ("pull out a beam"). This encounter seems to symbolize the artist's ability to protect himself and assert his dominance. The person he confronts pleads for freedom, but the artist has already taken away their metaphorical "wings" of escape. This can be interpreted as a metaphor for the artist's pursuit of success and leaving behind those who doubted or undermined him.
73bbp#38;f expresses his desire to excel in the music industry, intending to make a significant impact. He boasts about his popularity, suggesting that others are trying to imitate his style. The artist aspires to reach a point where he can finally leave his mundane job and escape the unhappiness and monotony of his current situation. Living paycheck to paycheck frustrates him, and he relishes the opportunity to prove himself and show others that they are not on his level.
The artist criticizes those who have compromised their integrity and sold their souls for success. Despite their false expectations of respect from him, he plans to undermine the entire industry and emerge as the best. By metaphorically "shuffling the deck" and leaving the field in ruins, he aims to resurrect the authenticity and genuine talent that he perceives to be lacking in the current music scene. The artist believes that by doing so, he will demonstrate his superiority and elevate himself to the top.
In the second part of the lyrics, the artist shifts his focus to the gritty realities of the environment he comes from. He suggests that his style and presence evoke fear even in religious settings such as church. He plays with the juxtaposition between being considered the best and the worst, challenging the notion of traditional expectations and norms. The artist mentions his collaboration with fellow rapper F-Note, suggesting that their combined efforts have produced a significant impact, leading to an increasing number of "dead bodies" and the need for extended hearses.
The lyrics depict a world that is filled with pain, hate, and love within the artist's neighborhood. Although there is an apparent climate of animosity, there is still an underlying thread of connection, indicating that even amidst the conflicts, a sense of shared experience remains. The artist acknowledges the complexity of this situation, expressing both frustration and acceptance.
The artist continues to assert his strength and power, dismissing those who have switched sides or betrayed loyalty. Drawing reference to the basketball player Scottie Pippen, he suggests that he overcomes challenges and adversity while under the influence of drugs. He acknowledges the intensity of his intro track, questioning why he had to come out so strongly. The artist perceives himself as superhuman and separates himself from those who are considered "stupid humans." He dismisses the popular music label YMCMB (Young Money Cash Money Billionaires), implying that he does not consider them a meaningful benchmark of success.
The artist suggests that his motivation for rapping is to both intimidate and challenge his competitors. He has a relentless drive to achieve recognition as the top talent in the game. He associates closely with his brother and sister, acknowledging their significance in his life and stating that he ranks above them. This declaration reflects his determination to reign supreme in the music industry and position himself above any competition, with no intention of offending them personally.
