Talk About It
Blimes and Gab Lyrics

In the first verse, Gab starts by saying that if he's going to take a risk or face a difficult situation (bite the bullet), he needs to have the courage to act on it and take control (hold the Wess, referring to a weapon). He acknowledges that some people may advise him to be cautious and calm down (cool it), but he considers himself the coolest person in his position (in the pulpit, meaning in the spotlight or a position of influence). He asserts his uniqueness and ability to handle things like the brand Nike handles its business, fitting into any situation (making the shoe fit). He mentions that while he is talented and confident, he also doesn't really care about others' opinions (I give two shits). He references Maita'i, a Polynesian cocktail, indicating that he is genuine and authentic in himself, and compares himself to Mike Tyson's dominance in boxing (I Mike Ty with the guys). He also emphasizes the importance of being honest and real (put the P in Y,T like Ali, shit). Gab expresses that he speaks like a beatnik, implying that his words carry depth and meaning. He demands that anything coming his way should be worthwhile and valuable (better be decent). He further describes himself as a problem that others might have to deal with if they choose him (I'm gone be problem) and compares picking him to winning the lottery. Finally, he tells a story about surviving dangerous situations (riding out the chop shop in a drop-top Eldorado) to celebrate life and ensure a better tomorrow.

In the hook, Blimes and Gab take turns expressing their experiences and their ability to discuss them. Blimes states that she has witnessed a lot of challenging moments and she can openly talk about them. Gab shares that he has climbed out of a difficult situation and he can also discuss it. They both invite others to speak from their own personal experiences (ribs is a metaphor for deep within oneself). However, Gab states that, although he has had to resort to violence in the past to defend himself (come up off the hip), he prefers not to talk about it. They both emphasize the importance of talking about real-life experiences and using them as a way to grow and learn.

In Blimes' verse, she encourages individuals to confidently express themselves when talking about their experiences (put some bass in your voice). She mentions the rib cage as a metaphorical place where emotions and vulnerability reside and says that it's essential to share these moments (a key component). She also describes gaining strength by reflecting on one's weakest moments and using them as a source of power (gain strength by reflecting on your weakest moments). Blimes then shares brief stories about her parents, specifically her absent father who was always on the move (Papa was a rolling stone) and her hardworking mother who she didn't want to burden with her problems. Despite the challenges she faced, she persisted and worked hard (moved work like currier truck). She talks about how she overcame obstacles and defeated opponents in her pursuit of success (they learned lessons when they battled her) and asserts her infallibility in victory. Blimes references various musical influences and experiences from her youth, implying that she emerged from a diverse and musically rich background.

The bridge is mainly scratched by DJ Dubplates, adding a musical and rhythmic element to the song. It reinforces the themes of the verses and creates a memorable chorus-like effect. The bridge repeats the phrases "bet it all if I" and "talk about it" to emphasize the willingness to take risks and openly discuss one's experiences. The line "in the game young like" suggests that they have been involved in challenging situations from a young age and have learned to navigate them. The bridge also repeats the line about the drop-top Eldorado, referring to the story told in Gab's verse about riding out dangerous situations in a convertible car.

Overall, the lyrics of "Talk About It" emphasize the importance of openly discussing one's experiences, both the challenging and overcoming moments. Blimes and Gab celebrate their ability to talk about their pasts, acknowledging that they have faced difficult situations but have grown stronger as a result. They encourage others to do the same, to reflect on their own stories and find strength in their vulnerabilities. The song also touches on themes of authenticity, uniqueness, confidence, and perseverance in the face of adversity.
