Buried Alive
Balistic Man Lyrics

Ugh
Expressing a feeling of frustration or disgust

Bury me alive
Metaphorically referring to being suppressed or oppressed by others

(Chorus)
Recurring section of the song

I got the soul of a slave
Feeling tied down and controlled by external forces

They buried me alive
Being suppressed or oppressed by others

& then I rose from the grave
Overcoming the challenges and obstacles imposed on them

I’m like Jesus
Comparing oneself to Jesus, who faced opposition and attempts to silence him

The people were scared when he arrived
Referring to the fear and resistance encountered when introducing change or challenging the status quo

Because they couldn’t kill him
Despite attempts to silence or eliminate, he remained resilient

So they tried to bury me alive
Facing attempts to silence, suppress, or oppress

They said their all going to laugh at you
Expecting ridicule and mockery from others

Like I’m Carrie
Referencing the character Carrie from the horror novel, symbolizing being ostracized and mistreated

It’s getting scary
Feeling a sense of fear and anxiety

Say my name three times like I’m Mary
Making a reference to Bloody Mary, reflecting the idea of summoning and confronting one's fears

They had me buried
Being suppressed or oppressed by others

& I barely survived
Having struggled to overcome the challenges and obstacles imposed on them

Where you rarely can thrive
Referring to an oppressive environment where personal growth and success are difficult to achieve

In prison unfairly deprived
Referring to being unjustly confined or restricted

The government wants to lock us & control us
Expressing the idea of being subjected to governmental control and oppression

Hold us in cages & then try not to sound like they stole us
Highlighting the hypocrisy of the government, suggesting they imprison and restrict individuals but deny their oppressive actions

They killed our kings & then raped our queens
Referring to historical injustices and the mistreatment of leaders and women

They try to make it seem like we’re the animals as they tape the scene
Addressing the media's portrayal of certain groups as savage or inhuman, while perpetuating unjust actions

A single mother trying to raise a teen
Describing the struggles faced by a single mother in nurturing and guiding her teenage child

He walk around with a loaded magazine & a laser beam
Symbolizing the presence of danger and violence in one's surroundings

I purchase & try it like the story of David versus Goliath
Drawing a parallel between facing daunting challenges and the biblical tale of overcoming a powerful adversary

These bullets big enough to murder a giant
Referring to the capability of weaponry to defeat powerful opponents

I’ll aim right at my idol
Expressing a willingness to challenge or oppose one's role model or inspiration

If I don’t get a fight at the title
Insisting on deserving recognition and the opportunity to prove oneself

Rewriting the stories right out the Bible
Figuratively reinterpreting or challenging societal norms and expectations

Dear father
Addressing or referencing a higher power or authority

Please forgive all those that behave

Successfully overcoming the challenges and adversity

(Chorus)

A savage undefeated
Referring to oneself as resilient, having endured and triumphed over hardships

All the damage I repeated
Referring to past mistakes and harmful behavior

Was from not having a father
Suggesting the absence of a father figure as a contributing factor to the singer's struggles and actions

He had baggage & retreated
Referring to the father figure with unresolved issues or emotional baggage, resulting in avoidance or withdrawal

I was left in the streets
Growing up in a challenging or disadvantaged environment

Only dad I ever needed was my brother
Highlighting the supportive and influential role of the artist's brother as a substitute father figure

He said I got a package if you need it
Offering support or resources to help the artist overcome difficulties

We just spoke the other day and the magic was completed

Now treat it like Michael Jackson & you can beat it
Drawing a comparison to Michael Jackson's famous song 'Beat It,' suggesting that one can overcome challenges by confronting them

But I’m more like Michael Myers

You’re talking to a psycho
Asserting a sense of unpredictable and intense behavior

I had a scale and some coc
Referring to involvement in drug dealing and illicit activities

Moonwalking like I’m Michael
Using a Michael Jackson reference, portraying swagger and confidence

Thriller version
Referencing Michael Jackson's famous album 'Thriller,' implying a formidable and impressive presence

The ones going through the struggle
Addressing those facing hardships or adversity

I’m still encouraging
Continuing to inspire and uplift despite difficulties

I made my bones while you were still a virgin
Accomplishing significant achievements or establishing oneself before others have even started

Writing the illest verse you’ve ever heard
Creating impactful and powerful lyrics

That’s why I’m still rehearsing
Continuing to refine and perfect one's craft

You talk that shit but you ain’t real in person
Acknowledging individuals who boast or portray themselves differently from who they truly are

Pretending to be something you’re not, that shits like stealing verses
Comparing pretending to be someone else to plagiarizing or stealing someone's work

Say a prayer for every verse I killed
Requesting forgiveness or redemption for the impact or harm caused by one's lyrics

Them shits still in hearses
Symbolically representing the lasting impact and influence of the artist's powerful lyrics

Like your father
Referencing a father figure or role model
