Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I been navigating life cause this shit a maze
Needed change, vacay to Miami-Dade
Hazy days in the rain but it's all okay
Ima be aight all my stress is out of sight
I don't pay no mind, I don't even go online
I got drip to go outside in a suit and tie
Stay in for in the night, so I told lil shawty slide
Niggas talking way too much I seen em tryna steal shit
All I do is give my heart and they can feel the realness
And my team be putting work we moving like we seal 6
There's a lot going on and I don't fear man
I just keep it pushing leave this shit in God's hands
And niggas tryna get the upper hand
But all these crabs in a bucket
And I'm just running up the sand
There's a lot going on and I don't fear man
I just keep it pushing leave this shit in God's hands
And niggas tryna get the upper hand
But all these crabs in a bucket
And I'm just running up the sand
I just uh
I just uh
Head feel like a running back
Shawty say she hit me back
Said she want a ring attached
I don't think she need me so I know it's cap
Ima keep it running cause I blow her back
I swear
Dawg I been zooted for a lifetime
Got a date with Mary she done threw my ass a lifeline
I be out of mind and then she hit me at the right time
She been there for me when I get lonely in the night time
All my hoes in Tennessee I call that shit a pippeline
Balling like the MVP I fall inside the bright lights
And limelight, I done got my rhymes tight
I been on a call, I been raw, and I'm Klondike
Nigga word
The beauties of the world been letting me in and like
I had to tell em that we better as friends
Now she all up in my face like "Dell you done it again"
I don't know how long it takes
But I know how long it been
There's a lot going on and I don't fear man
But I been under pressure, falling on my heels man
Too intense, Hoover dam, I'm in tears man
But life is beautiful, I tell it how I live man
There's a lot going on and I don't fear man
I just keep it pushing leave this shit in God's hands
And niggas tryna get the upper hand
But all these crabs in a bucket
And I'm just running up the sand
There's a lot going on and I don't fear man
I just keep it pushing leave this shit in God's hands
And niggas tryna get the upper hand
But all these crabs in a bucket
And I'm just running up the sand
Running up the sand
With the squad right
She lift me up
She lick me down
Thought I was klondike
Got biscotti in my brain I'm zoning all night
It's a long night, but I got time
Running up the sand
With the squad right
She lift me up
She lick me down
Thought I was klondike
Got biscotti in my brain I'm zoning all night
I'm zoning all night

This is an incredible movie.
-spoiler alert-It's as if the critics walked into it expecting a Matrix ripoff and couldn't get their brains to adjust to what they actually saw.
The genius in it is when you start realizing that this is the type of world that many untreated schizophrenics live in. This is the reality for so many people living on the street or in jail, and it becomes absurd to understand this yet then also want to still tell them to just get help or try harder.
Some of the best moments:
-When Isabel seemingly randomly climbs into the car of a guy in order to turn a trick (be a prostitute). It's completely incongruent with the mood and scene otherwise, yet is a sobering injection of how she makes money quickly in order to perpetuate her own delusions
-Isabel explaining to Greg that the three things that enabled the 'real world' to be so luxurious were automation, synthetic biology, and asteroid mining. This is subtly brilliant, in that it's a great characterization of how somebody with limited professional background and education might latch on to disparate concepts as saviors, not really being able to fully understand how each would impact life in reality (the asteroid mining changing the world so fundamentally gives away that she isn't anchored). Like the brother in law at xmas who talks endlessly about crypto but has never bought any.
-Gren hanging his boss behind the curtain...like...wtf? That's deliciously messed up and different.
-Isabel quickly explaining that the ghostly people are practicing 'telepresence'. In their world, she didn't perceive that, he did. She still has an explanation ready. This, along with when she admits she's 'not sure' if she killed Kendo for good, tells me she was more aware of reality than Greg, yet her own mental illness drove her to maintain the fantasy at all costs, wilfully and knowingly convincing herself that this alternate reality was real and that it was her own creation that others could go to her if they wanted to understand it better. Hard to explain, but basically it showed that for some types of schizophrenics, the worlds deliberately and knowingly created through lies are just as real to those people as a world explained without lies. Her identity was being able to explain the world to anybody who would listen. She was in control of that narrative, and only that.
-Greg so readily abandoning his relationship with his kids. Not only does he fairly quickly accept that he has no responsibility to his daughter because she isn't 'real', but he seems to have completely forgotten that he also has a son. An idyllic story would have him caring deeply about both of them and being ultimately driven by his kids, but that's not how it actually works. People suffering from mental illness like this DO have a hard time tracking the important relationships in their lives. There is no ultimate reassurance that family love will triumph in the end. As with dementia, their illness is capable of taking away a fundamentally important family relationship.
-When Isabel goes up to the much younger and more attractive prostitutes asking them for mace and they point out that she is unkempt and unhygienic. This is not something we can really see as a viewer, but the writers make it doubly clear to us that reality here is homelessness and drug addiction. This is probably the clearest moment in the movie, with respect to seeing that they are living the lives of two mentally ill homeless people suffering from the same challenges (hygiene, access to doctors/dentistry) as the people you may see walking along the streets of a big city. Even the prostitutes see her as fallen apart, and even the extras/actors playing them convey a subtle pity and fear when interacting with Isabel and eventually selling her the mace (they make fun of her teeth but never really double down on it--acting more like they want to keep some distance and to have Isabel just stop being unpredictable around them.)
I really think that critics tanked in their reviews of this one
@malumbomukonde868
There was a point during this movie were I as the viewer couldn't figure which world was real because I had challenges piecing up the difference in the two worlds but one thing for sure is his daughter's enduring love and patience for her dad was very touching. It is very easy to judge an addict from the outside looking in...
@pabloescabar9986
Nailed it !
@defadus7210
Exactly, love how this movie kept me guessing until the very end. Was only after that long walk to that clinic that finally revealed the true heartbreaking nature of what weโd been watching...
@rorschach5652
So in other words you decided to take the blue pill.
@martinap1904
It's a scenario of my life and my dad since 2012...
@nycyo2626
You are not kidding! You are judging that it was an addiction! You clearly did not consider the viewpoint of mental illness. He ran out of medication from the start of the movie! However the real world in this movie was the future utopian society. Sure the drug addiction/mental illness were real things back in the 21st century too but it is clear that the writer intended all three points of view to be visible/acknowledged.
@rorschach5652
As soon as I heard the "critics" didn't like it, I had to watch it, they never fail. No regrets. It is a WONDERFUL movie, it makes you question a lot of things that deep inside, you already know.
@michelleespino9814
Itโs so crazy how that works. They are always wrong.
@dcd5050
so you are one of those "heyy im such a rebel i only like what other people dont like" kinda guys
@SuperFartyman
@@dcd5050 No, critics are just completely stupid. What kind of profession is judging other peoples work anyway..
