Drug Zone
Boldy James & The Alchemist Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Two-way, deuce, siete
Yeah, that way

All this pressin' is depressin', the pressure is still pressin'
Against a nigga flesh, it's beyond measure (pressure)
Don Mega prime setter, prize fighter (yeah)
You know I rep the dirty glove like a high catcher (you know it)
It's concrete creatures, twenty-two times seven (Blockworks)
Five-seven shot for surefire, John Legend (brr)
The pied piper with that rod, strike you down to God
Can't cheat death, he tried to beat the odds
With a pair of trick dice, hundred carrots, thin sliced (eat 'em up)
Them lil' pieces that you wearin', shit light
Press and tear on my Skeletor, hustler forevermore
I had to make some adjustments, while others placed judgement (dear God)
They hate, I stay above it, ain't no way around it (at all)
I'm leavin' shit the same way I found it (brr)
Pronounced dead on the scene, Feds wanted me
Can't think straight without the weed, but that money keep a nigga grounded (root)

I'm just a drug zone nigga
Catch me in traffic, they don't want no smoke or no Nicorette (no smoke)
'Cause I be in the drug zone with it
Where we really active, we don't post guns on the internet (I sold dope)
You know I be with them drug zone killers
Thinkin' he a savage, but the whole hood know he been a rat (Blockworks)
I'm just a drug zone nigga
That'll swing the traffic anywhere the custos spendin' at (skrrt, skrrt)
Where we at?

My youngin' itchin' for that framework
Did it on camera, nigga didn't even change shirts (brrt)
They killed his bro, he wanted them to feel the same hurt
That he felt when it first happened, how his brain work
Finished the job, all in a day's work (it's hard work)
But something was missing, knew he had to put in that pain first (woo, woo)
Got flicked once when the cop put in the name search
Came back clean, told him to "Have a nice day, sir" (Blockworks)
May first, day my mother was born
Went to jail on her birthday, was the regular norm
Stayed ahead of the curb and now we peddlin' foreign
Rain, hail, sleet, snow, I had to weather the storm
Everybody street niggas 'til your family mourn (Blocks)
And make a nigga reconsider, wish he never was born (brrt)
On the East coast, catch me off of Belvi and Warren (Eastside)
Where we up stick and shoot that bitch with excellent form
It's Mafia, what else?

I'm just a drug zone nigga
Catch me in traffic, they don't want no smoke or no Nicorette (no smoke)
'Cause I be in the drug zone with it
Where we really active, we don't post guns on the internet (I sold dope)
You know I be with them drug zone killers
Thinkin' he a savage, but the whole hood know he been a rat (Blockworks)
I'm just a drug zone nigga
That'll swing the traffic anywhere the custos spendin' at
Where we at?

Seven-six drug zone
Nigga, no mask or gloves on
Even before this Corona shit, I wasn't fuckin' with niggas
Fuck you think gon' change now?




Same old, same old
Yeah, Blockworks

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Boldy James & The Alchemist's song "Drug Zone" depict the harsh realities and experiences of a drug dealer in a dangerous and volatile environment. The opening lines, "Two-way, deuce, siete / Yeah, that way," reference the street slang and code language used in the drug trade. The singer is surrounded by pressure, both internally and externally, as he navigates his illicit activities. He references his reputation as a prominent figure in the drug trade, comparing himself to Don Mega Prime and a prize fighter, willing to do whatever it takes to survive.


Boldy James further expresses his resilience and ability to adapt to his surroundings. He acknowledges the judgment and hate he faces from others but chooses to rise above it. His experiences have made him emotionally detached, pronouncing himself "dead on the scene" and emphasizing his disconnectedness from the world. He relies on drugs to numb his mind, but ultimately, it is money that keeps him grounded and connected to his reality. The song reflects the inner conflicts and sacrifices involved in the drug trade, as well as the careful balancing act one must undertake to survive.
