Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I used to press my Dickies with Stay Flo
Sold pieces for my reli, chasing peso
Now they want me with nothing cause I let my pay show
So I hop inside of my Mercedes and let the bass go
On you hating ass niggas
I deserve everything I get, A creating cash getter
I ain't putting the 2 on the 10
You fags bitter, mad
Wanna be faking class with us
How they thinking they gonna come and conquer us?
Little Mini Cooper hating on a monster truck
Ponder such, I'll have you up in yonder, stuck
Not a nare nutta brother stutter that conjure a,
Nothing, nothing, The Ruger's penetration
Inside of ya head is what's sounding like it's bassing
Boom, Bing, Bang
All you haters in the game, Strange lane taking aim
Ain't a damn thing sane, I get it in
Want some drama? Well I can fit it in
We can make it so you're no longer a citizen
Suction from beneath you
We just a little dust'n
All because I'm bringing the bucks in
[Chorus: x2]
They wanna leave me with nothing (Huh uh)
But they ain't talking about nothing (Huh uh)
So I ain't tripping on nothing (Huh uh)
They come to get me, I'm busting (Uh huh)
[Big Scoob]
On the block it was hot to not to run from the cops
I used to cop and used to chop
And dump my rocks at Ms. Scott's
And on the late night at Ms. White's
I'm fucking with Will, We used to play fight
Then one night, We came up with Vill
Young thugs dump drugs
Nigga hungry for meals
Young thugs jumped blood
Nigga itching for kills
Shit was real in the field, man
This shit was too real
Lost my homies to this shit, man
This shit is for real
But nigga, Nowadays the streets
They go hard on the hustler
All these pussy niggas lacking
So us real niggaz suffer
Not plentiful for me no more
It's hoes in the game
Since I smell when paper folding, man
I rolling with Strange
Pour some whiskey, Party with me
Tell the Feds if they miss me
They ain't coming for me now
Then nigga, Bet they don't get me
So all you motherfucking sucker niggas wishing me gone
Big homie, Strange Music
Resurrection, I'm home
[Chorus: x2]
[Messy Marv]
All I do is sell dope and nigga talk bricks
Talk with bananas and talk clips
Ride around and smoke kush with the yurner on me
Drink them champagne bottles with the flower on 'em
All that talking loud will get a nigga a hit
You see them cherry red chucks?
Yeah, I'm with the shit
Anyway I bounce out, man
I hit 'em up and I'll lock up with you
We could get 'em up
I still wear a gold grill, 10 across the bottom
They call me 19-5 cause a nigga got 'em
Click-Clack, nigga
Yanka get yanked on
There's been a lot of hating, nigga
Since I came home
Anything a nigga do, homie
It's Federal and come with football numbers in the level 4
They wanna bee a nigga dead, man
But nothing, Tech fuck them motherfuckers
They could keep hating
[Chorus: x2]

Doctor Octopus
Although I say the ego is the only enemy, we aren't meant to hate the ego but to try to understand when it tries to infiltrate us.
To stop the ego when it tries to speak for us and take control of us. It's not about being angry about what it might have caused us to do. It's understanding these actions were not caused by us but by the Ego.
This is something which will take time to learn and we must remember not to dwell too much on the pain it might have caused us or those around us. Taking it as a lesson, trying to find different ways in future situations if they might arise.
Move forward and learn from those mistakes instead of letting them keep you from having peace. All the hate and self-pity needs to leave our mind, knowing that Jesus Christ bears the weight of sin for us.
This is an important thing to remember so that we can think clearly and not be imprisoned.
We must try to examine when the ego speaks and learn what the correct response is for certain situations. There is no correct solution and what will be mentioned is just a small example. We should learn more from each other every day to see what is the right solution to prevent the ego from flourishing in our interactions.
Allowing some space between you and the person who has been held hostage by the ego could be a correct solution. However, it may not always be our best path depending on who the person is. Some are out in the world not knowing they are being controlled by the ego, trying to prove a point, they may follow you, feeling like they are being ignored. Walking away from them could further feed the ego and make them feel misunderstood, further promoting the argument, inciting the other person's ego as well.
Some of us may feel like we're the only ones going through these daily struggles, even though everything we're going through has already happened many times throughout history. Different situations call for different ways to reduce stress.
Disagreements and arguments can be ways we choose to move forward. This is absolutely the Wrong Choice and we must recognize that everyone has their own world full of different struggles. Some of us may have more situations piling up that can mess with our minds and make us extremely volatile. This is dangerous, it's important to immediately calm down and control the situation.
Apologize for any misunderstanding. Recognizing that it is not a problem but that it should be taken as a lesson is the way to achieve harmony. We all have struggles we face on a day-to-day basis and some people need to be spoken to properly, rather than creating hostile environments, reducing any joy they may be looking forward to. Recognizing that a few hours of inconvenience is not the end of the world.
Understanding that problems do not exist, only situations, is important.
What we're hoping to accomplish must be achieved in a matter where all parties learn something new, at least avoid serious negative outcomes. The hopeful result is to reduce anger and allow it to subside. The person will come to their senses and realize that something strange has taken them hostage. It is under the full control of the person's body and this can create unimaginable consequences. This person had lost all control of their thought process, speech and choices.
When it comes to someone you grew up with and shared loving moments with, it's not hard to understand when the person you know is talking or when ego is creeping in. Once we recognize that we all have our gloomy days, it should be easier to administer the proper procedure. The ego likes to make us feel like victims, works hard to make us feel down, to turn our days into sadness with wasteful memories, when we should be feeling happy. Sometimes feelings can overwhelm us, making us struggle with our thoughts, believing we're drowning as we carry out our daily actions. The ego will play with our feelings and keep feeding us more lies.
Although these scenarios may seem reasonably easy to navigate. It could also come across as arrogance and self-righteousness. Knowing how to use our words wisely and not seem like a know-it-all is Mandatory. We don't want to keep feeding the ego, creating anger and unnecessary responses.
Recognizing that we all try to make a point rather than remaining silent in order to listen to others, to understand their thought process. I admit that I am not used to having proper conversations, hoping to learn from this myself. This will take some time to learn.
The sins we commit and continue to commit are forgiven once we accept Jesus Christ as our Savior and are baptized. Knowing all this does not automatically mean that we can continue to sin and be free from judgment or punishment. Quite the opposite is actually true. Knowing these things and continuing to do evil on purpose is condemning ourself in the eyes of the Lord.
It will be impossible to ask someone to completely change their ways in a few days, weeks or months after living for so long without knowing the Truth. It is a slow process that our Heavenly Father God through Jesus Christ our Savior will allow us to see and accomplish. God our Heavenly Father loves each one of us. Just because we are not recognized by the world, it doesn't mean we aren't important in his eyes.
Where there is harmony and peace, the ego cannot feast.
Doctor Octopus
The comments I read and people coming out reporting and discussing serious matters show how we haven't had the right amount of time to fully examine the Victims thought process at that point.
Everyone involved is a Victim and we cannot close the door, throw away the keys and continue with our lives.
The injured person and the person who took the unfortunate actions are all Victims. The person has no control over themselves when he allows the Ego to manifest within them for so long without seeking True help. This happens in many places, regrettable actions are taken.
Interrogations will show how they cannot remember what came over them. The spiritual fight is absolutely real. If we don't seek our Heavenly Father God through our Savior Jesus Christ to help us better understand ourselves, going out into the world will create unwanted situations.
The Ego feeds us with lies, making us participate in such terrible mentalities to create imaginary external enemies.
The Ego feeds us with lies, making us participate in such terrible mentalities as to create imaginary external enemies. The ego continues to invade our brains and prevents us from escaping from the prison of desire. Instead of allowing us to help each other, our desires keep us in a prison within ourselves. Creating an environment that confuses our main priorities, restricting our lives, completely lost. Hostile environments are created to undermine efforts of progress. Increasing and improving the deception playbook since before the beginning of recorded history. The game is known to few people, while the enemy uses everything in their playbook. Keeping us in the dark as to what it means to live a peaceful life. Plays the game, growing stronger and creating an army of desensitized uninformed subjects.
Feeling self-pity keeps us in a hateful state of mind. Trying to drown out all the joyous memories and happy interactions throughout our lives. This is dangerous to carry and allowing such thoughts to accumulate within us creates serious issues. We could drown our days trying to relive these past situations. It may seem almost simple, but the ego will have us believe that we enjoy reliving those past afflictions. Instead, we should take all these as lessons and forget that these problems caused any pain. Find ways to avoid committing the same actions against others.
Although we can learn ways to suppress the Ego, it will always be there waiting for the right moment to attack. In our most vulnerable moments, it will slither like a snake.
Prescription medication will only fix the pain until one day it completely overwhelms us and makes us do the unthinkable.
Seeking true help from our Heavenly Father God through our Savior Jesus Christ is the only way to help defeat and suppress it for now.
The only real enemy is the ego, trying to create enemies that never existed to begin with. The world is our friend and family, we all have the same ego. Although, some of us are fed different lies depending on the lives we've been living. Since it lives within us, it will have different tactics to discourage us from having a peaceful life. Our Heavenly Father God has given us the weapon to defeat the devil(ego) with Jesus Christ our Savior. The spirit of Jesus Christ is ours to suppress the bad thoughts the ego tries to build within us.
Doctor Octopus
I'm walking this path so others have an idea of what it requires. Not all of us will be willing to go through this at the same time, although we'll all have to enter through the gates of the kingdom. Don't be afraid to ask me anything. I'll keep it simple and explain to anyone what our Heavenly Father God through our Savior Jesus Christ has allowed me to understand so far.
I understand not everyone is ready for these things and at a certain age these things will consume us if we aren't careful. Certain memories come back to me here and there and I try not to immerse myself in them every day. I know my limits and try not to force myself to remember too much of them in one day. It is important to make sure we start the day with our Heavenly Father God, our Savior Jesus Christ and end the day with our Heavenly Father God, our Savior Jesus Christ.
This immersion in the Truth requires a strong mind with help of our almighty God. The love of our Creator God, Jesus Christ our Savior. Thinking we won't need help on this journey can lead to a troubled life. Always keep him in your thoughts and allow him to help you on this journey to come out intact. I couldn't sleep well for days on my trip, fear of closing my eyes. This was the hate I was allowing to build up and not addressing it properly. True medicine is seeking God, asking our Savior Jesus Christ for help to keep our mind stable. Understanding this is important to continue our search. Don't feed on hatred the world tries to build within us.
I've spent some time in my own mind and have had time to see how the ego plays. Getting immersed in these thoughts can be problematic. I have been groomed by those around me growing up. Being raised in a family and community that loves God has shown me what a peaceful life within big cities should look like. I have been made a soldier by God with all the love with which he has surrounded me throughout my life. When I say ego, I mean Devil but will use ego as I don't seek to scare anyone.
Although I can clearly explain how to defeat the ego in certain situations, we all have our own difficult road ahead. Once you go straight after it, it'll come back with a vengeance in our weakest state. Even if you eventually understand it and are able to keep it at bay, it'll start learning tactics used to suppress it and will infiltrate when you least expect it. This is why you should always continue to seek more of our Heavenly Father God by asking our Savior Jesus Christ for help throughout this journey. Diving into this without a proper understanding of what is required can be exhausting. Seeking to know exactly how evil takes hold of us is a serious thing. That trip has shown me how real the ego is and it's nothing to joke about. This is not something to take lightly, preparation is absolutely important, diving into this fight will require a lot from you depending on how far you want to dig. Fight bad dreams with good thoughts. I would suggest flooding your mind with positive feelings.
Diving into this could be exhausting and should be taken with all seriousness. Seeking to know exactly how evil takes hold of us is a long process. This journey has shown me how real the spiritual fight is, it's nothing to joke about. This is not something to take lightly, preparation is absolutely important, diving into this fight will require a lot from you depending how far you want to dig. Fight bad dreams with good thoughts.
Doctor Octopus
I would fall deep into self-pity and hatred as my mind drifted away and put God aside thinking I could face the bad without breaking. Knowing when you've fallen and seeking God's help through Jesus Christ our Savior is most important when you end up falling. We are only human and will surely fall short trying without help.
We try to protect children by keeping them away from the bad in the world. Although they need to learn what's bad and good. To see how to correct these problems in the future, they need to know that every decision we make has drastic consequences for us and those around us. That the decision is ultimately up to us and we will have to live with those options. Someday they will have to go out into the world, preparing them for what lays ahead is important.
The sooner we look for ways to properly correct our ways, the faster the transition to a proper life will be. Starting our lives on the wrong track increases our chance of falling into a cycle that will feel like a prison. The chance of quickly correcting our paths to a proper one will dramatically decrease. Life is not as complicated as the world makes us believe. We're given false solutions to serious problems that get worse and worse instead of better. Understanding that a broken life is how the ego wants to keep us in this world is a good start.
We all become rebellious in our teen years, this is when all the good and bad memories come into play. If we are not taught this, it results in what we see today, where respect almost needs to be bought. It's crazy to think about but that's exactly how the world has turned out. If we have money, friends surround us. Without money, who would want to hang around?
I went off the rails for years, but I always knew what was wrong and what was right. This allowed me to try to make responsible decisions. The consequences were so clear and I knew the fear of God. Certain situations happen when we aren't aware how humans function in the world. Everything is made clear by our Heavenly Father God through Jesus Christ our Savior.
The main thing is to get out of our ignorance and understand why certain things happen. This journey of understanding the world around us turned out to be quite the hunt. Growing up in a time when the internet was unrestricted, I started seeing things I couldn't believe were happening in this world. As a teenager, growing up exploring the world wide web allowed me to see some dire realities. These things are absolutely heartbreaking and disturbing. I unraveled some incomprehensible and exhausting realities that take place around us. These things can be harmful to our brains and can certainly drive some crazy.
