Colder than them grits they fed slaves
Me to rap is like water to raves
Ak's with bayonets on deck, rep my set
Sorta like Squidward and his clarinet
I'm in ya bitch mouth but she fantasizing
Staring at the skinny's, said it's so tantalizing
Dawg, I'm strategizing, plotting on the throne
Master of the ace, sitting on chrome
Dark nights, tryna sleep, stomach on fire
Delusional from hunger, so I couldn't get tired
Imagining the equalizer goin' from green to red
Words that rhyme together just appear all in my head
And I'm sorta like Neo with the Matrix code
Try to escape it, hoping the drugs'll numb my soul
Say I'm getting old, time's running out
Repeating instrumentals, tryna figure patterns out
I never leave the house, ain't slept in three days
Popping pills, writing, drinking and smoking haze
Weaving kicks and snares, tryna dodge these hooks
Keepin' it original, something that's overlooked
The way a nigga goin', might go out like Sam Cooke
Or locked up, calling home for money on my books
'Cause if this shit don't work, nigga, I failed at life
Turning to these drugs, now these drugs turned my life
And it's the downward spiral, got me suicidal
But too scared to do it, so these pills'll be the rifle
Surpassing all my idols, took the wrong turn
But can't go back now, so let that blunt burn
'Cause now it's my turn if I fuck it all up
It took a while to get here, now I depend on these drugs
Uh, I took a while to get here, now I depend on these drugs
Triple X
The first line of the song "Colder than them grits they fed slaves" sets the tone for the rest of the track. Brown Danny uses strong imagery to reflect his dark past and the harsh realities of life that he has faced. He then goes on to compare his talent for rapping with water and how important it is for him. He uses the analogy of Squidward and his clarinet to explain his dedication and commitment to the rap game. Brown also references his set - which relates to his affiliations with his friends and together then make a pledge to always have each other's back.
The second verse of the song takes a twist and reflects on the struggles he faces dealing with fame and pressure. He describes his state of mind as he experiences delusions because of hunger and his dark past, then compares his thoughts to the movie "The Matrix", describing the complexity of his thoughts. Brown is very self-aware, and he talks about his own addiction to drugs as a result of the pressures he is facing in life. The lyrics are very powerful, and they paint a picture of the artist's personal struggles, giving a glimpse into his personal life.

@mroProductions
I know its just the intro, but its one of my favorite Danny Brown songs of all time.
@ColinCampbellcsquared34
This is still my favorite DB track. I still feel like it doesn't get the attention it deserves. This beat is an absolute masterpiece, the engineer that mixed it did a fantastic job.
@ryanburka7306
