Niggas rolling on that bike, like bitch that ain't no speed
I ain't folding, bitch I open up bout how I bleed (Bout how I bleed)
Open about how I bleed (Aye, aye)
Open about what I see (See)
Open about how I wanna be me, open about how they wanna be me
I was opening bad bitches backs, doing a lot of them things
Nigga I'm doing the shit that nobody on, breaking the family tree
Open about they ain't me
Open about how I walk in the room, she impatient, the bitch start fuckin' my jeans
Open about how I ain't taking no beans
Get a high from the money, these niggas be thieves
Open about how I cut all them niggas off cause I had to do my old damn thing
Nigga, the fuck nigga it's me, like fuck did niggas think?
Forreal like what did they think, these niggas was thinkin' I wasn't gone achieve
Nigga I jump out the building
I jumped off the porch ever since, nigga ever since a lil seed
The fuck did niggas think
Always had that shit in me
Always had that dog in me
Always had that bitch round me (Damn)
Bitch biting like a flee
And these niggas gay lowkey
I was tryna grow a beak, why these niggas tryna stop my peak
I ain't tusslin' with the streets, nigga, just give them the heat
Just give them the heat
This is not that shit that I was ever used to too
I was in that class, I raise my finger, fuck the school
Cause they deemed me bad and they broke me down and that wasn't cool (Wasn't cool)
And now I'm by myself, I'm countin' them racks and I'm like cool
Ouu, fuck they talkin' bout, I was never dumb, nigga I was fooled (Fooled)
Fuck they talkin' bout, nigga I'm up next and it ain't been you
I'ma shut the fuck up before that nigga try to snake me too
Thought we brothers but that nigga said I was some food
Thought we lovers but that bitch just fucked my nigga too (Too)
I can't trust her unless I'm looking in the mirror (Oou)
Fuck that lover shit, your parents and them feelings too
Fuck yo parents, I ain't caring, I was raised bool (Yea)
The lyrics to Anthony & The Camp's song "Open" are full of references to tough talk, violence, and sexual conquests. The song opens with the repeated phrase "nah, nah, nah" followed by "it ain't bout nothing." These lines suggest a willingness to dismiss whatever issues are at hand and move onto more immediate concerns. The song's central image is the singer picking out a casket for someone's brother, followed by a reference to a "smackdown with no rubber," which suggests a fight that ends in death or serious injury. The singer seems to view these violent encounters as commonplace: "Too much tough talk and no bussin' / So many bitches and they fuckin' / Just woke up and I'm already bussin'."
Throughout the song, the singer contrasts a life of material wealth and sexual conquest ("Money got me feeling grateful / Give her a band, she thankful") with a violent, unpredictable world where one must always be prepared to fight ("I put a sock on the door, don't come in / Surrounded by coochie when I'm in the function / Surrounded by niggas with nothing to lose, do it for nothing"). The singer doesn't seem to have any illusions about the nature of his existence; he knows that he's living on the edge and that everything could come crashing down at any moment ("Man it feel like it ain't real / She got a ass and it ain't real"). Despite this, however, he's determined to live life on his own terms: "Nigga, I don't got nothing to prove / Nigga it's up then / Aye, nigga, I gotta tighten my screws, niggas gone run in."
Overall, "Open" presents a bleak worldview, one in which violence and sexual conquests are considered the norm. However, it also suggests a certain degree of self-awareness on the part of the singer, who recognizes the risks he's taking and seems to be making a conscious choice to live life on his own terms. Despite the song's dark themes, it's ultimately a testament to human resilience in the face of adversity.
