Aion Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Nowadays they be like, Dutch
Back then it was just Bobby
These days I’m on my J O
Back then it was just hobby
Rooftop to the lobby
I was the one letting the clouds in
Lung full of kaya
Hear full of fire
Good headspace what I’m found in
Turns out the journey was inward
So I went there
And I ain’t like everything that was in there
Thought about a few good moments in life
Few folks that I wish could have been there
But they’re in me and I’m of them
Next to my team, not above them
People could hate but we love them
On some hippy shit yea just love more
On some hustle shit yea get more more
I did my 10, 000 hours in one afternoon
And then after dinner I done more
And if you got no roots and the flood comes in
Then you’re done for
Dark days
That’s the the sun’s for
Back then they be like Gi
Nowadays it’s all major
Yeah yeah Back then I was on my Zz’s
Nowadays Im on radar
FM London knows about me
Hit rinse, kiss in one week
Hit pyro flex and the streets
Still nobody flexin on me
I got a rap sheet like a rap sheet
Make major moves while I’m half sleep
Done more alone in the past week
Than y’all could do with a stacked team
See the cameras pass, pass me
Cause I’m too sly for the flash beams
Too fly to be flashy
Only speak on my name in passing (Like)
You see me movin yeah I’m movin different
You wanna do this but you do it different
The tide and moon is who I’m movin wit
Them cloudy days yeah I’m used to it, but that sunrise got a mood to it like…
Manna from uptown, where the sun stays down
Every grin stays up side down
Never cringe at the site or the sound
The bloody Sunday blood stains on the ground
1 Thing that I learned from day
People with the power ain't wit the fair play
Quick talk slick talk wont give it to em straight
Sunrise we crashing the gate
Takin it all, takin every crumb from dusk till dawn
Sunday mornin tellem read this psalm, sunday mornin tellem Read this psalm




And Again, dusk till dawn, sunday mornin tellem read this psalm
Sunday mornin tellem read this psalm

Overall Meaning

In the first paragraph, the lyrics talk about the artist's journey and growth in their career. They reference different names that represent different stages of their life. Dutch and Bobby represent the past, while J O and hobby represent the present. The artist reflects on how they have transitioned from a casual hobby to a serious pursuit, from rooftops to lobbies, and how they used to let negativity cloud their mind. However, they have now found a good headspace and focus on self-improvement.


The second paragraph continues to explore the artist's journey and the internal changes they have experienced. They mention doing hours of work in a short amount of time and consistently pushing themselves to accomplish more. They also mention having deep roots and connections with those close to them, emphasizing the importance of loyalty and love. They don't pay attention to haters and instead choose to spread love and embrace a positive mindset.

Moving on to the third paragraph, the lyrics describe the artist's unique approach and style. They note that they move differently from others and do things in their own distinctive way.

Despite facing difficulties, they remain unfazed and describe the sunrise as having a special mood. This implies that they find inspiration and motivation in new beginnings and look forward to the positive outcomes that await them.


The final paragraph touches on power dynamics and the artist's resilience. They suggest that people in positions of power often don't play fairly and use slick talk to manipulate others. However, they declare that they are crashing the gates and taking what is rightfully theirs, not allowing anyone to hold them back. They encourage others to read a psalm on Sunday morning, symbolizing a call to find strength and guidance in spirituality. The repetition of "dusk till dawn" emphasizes their relentless pursuit and dedication, while "reading this psalm" represents finding solace and inspiration in their journey.
