Standin' tall but it's been fucking with me mentally
These streets cold, niggas smoke you like a chimney
But pain is temporary, I ain't trippin', it ain't shit to me
God kept me, I'm woke, I got a purpose
I'm a victim of two murders
This shit got me feelin' worthless
Happened in a second, mind spinnin' like a circus nigga
I'm in the back seat, how the fuck it's my fault?
November 29th, almost died up on that asphalt
Bro switched up, throwin' shade like a fast ball
I pray for better days, keep my faith, I'ma stand tall
They like Hayden fell off, I'm like hell nah
Tryna keep me in this bed, I'm like hell nah
Love my brothers, bro we tighter than a dreadlock
Promise to be rich but for now we down, this bedrock
Rest in peace to that family in that casket
And I mean it when I say I ain't want this shit to happen
I done had a wake up call so for now I'm stuck to rappin'
Rest in peace to Noggy, for your love I'll make you happy
God told me we gon' make it out eventually
Standin' tall but it's been fucking with me mentally
These streets cold, niggas smoke you like a chimney
But pain is temporary, I ain't trippin', it ain't shit to me
God told me we gon' make it out eventually
Standin' tall but it's been fucking with me mentally
These streets cold, niggas smoke you like a chimney
But pain is temporary, I ain't trippin', it ain't shit to me
Look, burst knuckles, morphine in my IV and shit
And with this bag on my stomach, nothin' spicy and shit
I'm moving slowly to the top, being silenced and shit
I swear to God I love this music, bro I'm dyin' for this
I'm in this situation but God know I'ma make it through
I woke up in a bed and there was nothing I could do
They say they feel my pain but they can't even wear my shoes
Six days with no drink, six days with no food, huh
God told me we gon' make it out eventually
Standin' tall but it's been fucking with me mentally
These streets cold, niggas smoke you like a chimney
But pain is temporary, I ain't trippin', it ain't shit to me
Bankrol Hayden's song "29" is a powerful ode to perseverance in the face of trauma and adversity. The song opens with Hayden reflecting on his faith and his belief that he and his loved ones will make it out of the difficult situations they find themselves in eventually. He acknowledges that the struggles he faces on the streets can be mentally taxing and that others will try to bring him down, even to the point of causing physical harm. However, he maintains that pain is temporary and that he won't let it get to him.
The second verse of the song delves deeper into Hayden's personal struggles. He reveals that he has been a victim of two murders and that he was in a serious car accident that left him hospitalized. He expresses frustration and sadness over the fact that a close friend has turned against him and is now throwing "shade." Despite all this, Hayden promises to keep his faith and stand tall. He acknowledges that he and his brothers are currently "down" but that they will eventually rise up and become successful.
