IX
BURN/WARD Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Come across
All overcoming
Forty-nine and twenty years ago
It feels like it'd be crazy to be unafraid
I saw your face and started crying
Empty space
I'm falling upwards
Cold and hard

The world undying
Beat back
Beat back unfolding
Eyes forward
Is it better than knowing?
I saw your face and started crying
Empty space
I'm falling upwards
Full embrace
Fall
I saw your face and started crying
Empty space
I'm falling upwards

Full embrace
Fall

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of BURN/WARD’s song IX talk about money, guns, and drugs, as well as the desire for a wealthy lifestyle. The opening lines mention the singer feeling belittled, with "coach" presumably referring to a sports coach, while "M and K" might refer to specific people who have also criticized him. These opening lines also reference expensive "Bally's" sneakers that the singer wears, emphasizing his status as someone who can afford luxury items.

The chorus repeats the lines "My young niggas going 9/30", which could have several interpretations. It might refer to the area code 930 in the California city of Oxnard, which is known for its gangs and drug trade. Alternatively, it could reference a specific drug quantity, since "9-30" sounds similar to "nine thirty" which might mean nine ounces and thirty grams.

The rest of the lyrics continue to describe the singer's lifestyle, filled with drugs and guns, as well as his desire for a rich "30" girlfriend. He talks about shopping at high-end stores like Saks Fifth Avenue and counting money in "hunndids by 30s." He also mentions that despite his success, he is still on the streets working and his phone is constantly ringing with requests.

Overall, the lyrics of IX depict a young man who is trying to succeed in a harsh world by using drugs and guns, yet still has dreams of living an extravagant lifestyle.

You already know coach coach shit on me
People in authority have been harsh with me before

M and K shit on me
Even close friends can treat me poorly

Yeah no cap
This is the truth, not a lie

Got these Bally's on my sneakers
I'm sporting some high-end designer shoes

My young niggas going 9/30
My crew is always down for the cause

Yeah Burn1
It's me, Burn1, and I'm here to rap

Bitch you know my money dirty
I've made some questionable choices to earn cash

Slide through yo block
I'll show up uninvited without hesitation

With this glock
I'm packing heat to protect myself

And my new clip yeah that bitch holding over 30
My gun's loaded up with over 30 rounds

I'm smoking on blunts filled with Pink Runtz
I like to indulge in expensive, high-quality weed

And niggas know I smoke the blunts by the 30s
When I smoke, I smoke a lot at once

And I don't want to fuck with you young bitches
Young women don't interest me

Cause you broke I need a rich bitch that 30
I only want women who can afford lavish things

I'm in Phipps plaza I'm shopping at Saks Fifth and I count my hunnids by 30s
I shop at high-end stores and handle my cash in large amounts

Still on the block working
I'm still grinding on the streets to make money

Trap phone still chirping
My phone for business is still ringing off the hook

All of these hoes still calling
Women are still constantly trying to get my attention

Young nigga I'm balling
I'm living my best life with my success

I don't wanna be Spaulding
I don't want to be played like a toy

I'm a Nike ball
I'm valuable and sought after

Just do it checks still calling
I'm still getting offers and opportunities

These niggas was mad at me
Some guys were upset with me

They bitches was glad to see me cause they know I got racks
Some women like me because I have money

Bags of the gas and the pints of the drink and the bricks
I have various illegal substances on me

Living life like that
This is just my way of living

I went and put drums on everything that I own
I've added gun modifications to all my firearms

Nick Cannon rounds on the Tec
My bullets are powerful enough to rival Nick Cannon's drumming

Nick Cannon rounds at ya neck
I've got bullets that can kill

Nick Cannon rounds at ya bitch
I might even use them on your significant other

Look at this drip too wet
My fashion sense is flawless

I got yo bitch slip and slide in the bed
I can seduce any woman with my smooth moves

I'm a young nigga I can't even flex
I'm still young and inexperienced

In 4 months made an Audermars Piguet
I've earned enough to buy a luxury watch in just four months

Yeah I probably should've bought an Audermars Piguet
I was considering buying a watch, but decided against it

But I said fuck it I'll buy another brick
I decided to invest in more illegal substances instead

Nigga like me yeah I'm still in the trenches
I'm still in the dangerous, high-risk world of drug dealing

Like a broken bone
My life is painful and difficult

40 steel where the hip is yeah
I've got a gun in my waistband at all times

Megan is so lucky that she had all of these resources available to her. The fact that a world-class plastic surgeon was in Taiwan and was able to be there for her, the fact that his friend even cared enough for Megan to call him on her behalf, the fact that she’s a Singaporean national with access to the SGH skin bank and SG universal health care, everything. I’m sure a lot of the victims in that fire weren’t so lucky. I’m so happy to see her healthy and well.

When my mother died, we donated skin. Because she'd had so many medications to treat her pneumonia and multiple organ failures, it was all we were able to donate. She was such a giving person in her lifetime that we were happy we could do a little bit.

@ScoobyDoozy

3y↑105

What an incredible gift your mother gave. Thank you to you and your family for giving your blessing. This fantastic documentary really highlights how critical skin donation is. It doesn’t receive the same media or awareness of solid organ donation, or even blood donation, but skin donation is especially unique. Solid organs have something of an “expiry date”. Depending on the organ, they can last up to ~20 years (some people have organs that have lasted even longer, but this is rare). This requires re-transplanting.

Skin donations will , in most cases, last a persons natural lifetime. It is not only a life saving gift, but also one granting functionality, and aesthetic.

Thank you for your mother’s gift, and may her memory bring you joy.

@@dollface2917 have you registered as an organ and tissue donor in your country? It’s awesome that you have had that conversation with your family as, unfortunately, in most countries the family makes the decision, regardless of if the person is a donor. A lot of people are registered donors but their families sadly decide against their wishes. Very very few people ever die in a way that their organs or tissue can be donated, but if that does happen, it’s the most selfless gift to give, and an incredible lasting legacy. Well done for discussing this with your loved ones and making your wishes clear with them!

I am a burn survivor. 70% full thickness burns and of course smoke inhalation. After being transported 80 miles to the nearest burn unit my husband was told I had less than a 5% chance to survive the next 24 hrs. Every day that passed that number increased. This was in 1999, and although I received outstanding care and obviously survived- watching stories like these leave me feeling blessed all over again. The advancement in treatment from 1999 to Megans in 2015 is amazing! And yes, dressing changes and debridement is nothing less than pure agony, there are no words for that level of pain. I had nightmares about dressing changes for several years.

There’s so many preconceptions about plastic surgeons, but they actually do so much good! They help treat burn survivors (my own mother had to get plastic surgery on her leg after she got burned by spilling boiling water on herself as a kid). They also treat things like cleft palettes I believe. They’re more than just a shallow cosmetics profession. My respect goes out to them.

@@rainbowunicornnun Plastic surgery and cosmetic surgery are two different things. Plastic surgery is for things like palate clefts, scarring, and other disfigurements. Cosmetic surgery is things like lip injections, face lifts, and nose jobs. it’s only cosmetic if you were fine beforehand and just get it done because you want to look different. Plastic surgery is more akin to reconstructive surgery, and often they are the same thing.

@Debra Olivier: When I was in nursing school, we were sent to Metro Health hospital to observe and learn about burn victims. There was a 19 year old boy who was somehow burned on 95% of his body. He worked for a company that put hot asphalt on building roofs and parking lots, etc. He was so bad, he had long pins, more like stokes on a wagon wheel; this was so that his finger's would not fuse together. The look in his eyes was so....like, it was more than fear, it was terror and confusion. His eyes were screaming "why? Why? ". And the screams that came from the tub room was blood curdling. My first boyfriend put up neon signs on businesses and such. He died when his truck somehow lost control, coming back from a job in Pa. He was ejected from the cab of the truck, slid into the pool of gasoline, and they said that probably his big belt buckle sparked the fire. This was before nursing school. After the burn unit, I felt that it was better that he expired. He was a fireball. It was more merciful than if he had lived. It didn't help, but he used to say: " live fast, die young, and leave a beautiful corpse. " I am sorry that I told you all of this, because the last thing I want to do is to cause you more pain. Every time I think of this, I place in our dear Lord's hands. I was so traumatized by this, but I did become an RN, and every patient I have, gets the best care that I am capable of. And when a patient tells me that they are in pain, I stop what I am doing, and go to get that patient their pain pill or injection....no one in pain ever waits more than 3 to 5 minutes when I am their nurse. If you don't mind, I have placed you and your loved ones on my prayer list. It isn't much, but I wish you all things bright and beautiful and peaceful. Many blessings to you. 💖

God bless all them, but especially her for being so strong in the midst of adversity, and honestly being so inspirational. If you even see this Miss Megan, you are an amazing woman!!

The doctors and nurses are from Singapore general hospital

@AeliaM16Lake

A lot of us asians are first language english educated.

@tekubayar1937

I think all those nurses are from Singapore. It mentions that this hospital in Singapore is the only one in whole southeast asian region that can treat severe burns. English is official language in Singapore so it us expected that they all speak English.

Megan seems like a truly lovely person with such inner strength & resilience. She will make an exceptional burns specialist with her own experience. To survive 80% burns with widespread 3rd degree burns is incredible! As is Allan’s survival.

I caught on fire in 1966 I was 5 years old and 75% at 3degree and the rest of me was second and first back then my chance of surviving was less than 5 present.
My father was a Navy pilot so his commander had me transfer to the military burn hospital in Texas, it was the only burn hospital in the U.S.A as the that time back then you had no way to wrap the burns and they used pig skin for graphs and corpses for graphing skin on to me until I had some skin to use. A lot of men died around me, it was a sad time. ( Vietnam War)
The one thing I always prayed for was, please God help these Doctors make it so people don't have bad scares like mine and make there healing faster and less infections.
Today I see that my dream came true.
Her scars look good!
Love and light to you my friends 💞

@@kr3016 yes, that's the one my DOCTORs partner left and went to Washington State to work at Harberveiw hospital where he started a burn center there. It's funny because I live in Washington state and have been at the hospital for other reasons, it's a really good burn center. Thank you for responding to me ♥

These health professionals are amazing. True heroes that deserve a lot more than we can ever give them. Takes a special person to be able to witness those kinds of things, get through intensive schooling and be able to operate on these cases. Truly heartwarming when Megan announced she will become a burn specialist too. They all saved her life and in return she will do the same upon others.

My mother had 3rd degree burns on her face and her two arms, it was an accident. We thought she was healing because the burns on her face were healing but I don't know, I was still young, she died because of infection according to the doctor. I witnessed the doctors trying to save her and forever haunted on that lines turning flat. My mom was 42 years old.

Megan touched me the most, and I know I will think of her and pray for her for to have a full and happy life. Mr. Lokos had so much determination that he really inspired me as well. After watching the entire documentary, I am going to make sure that my donor card will include the donation of any/all skin that can be used.

I can’t even begin to imagine the horrible pain she endured. A small burn from the oven or a curling iron hurts so much. God bless her and her strength and the doctors who jumped into action. She is a beautiful woman. On another vein, wonder what that hospital bill looked like, my granddaughter was born at 32 weeks and she cost $250,000. Thank God for insurance.
