Trials
D-Title Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴

I don’t need reassurance with my ways
Selfish with my days I spend them tryna get paid
Never wine but I got hope I get better with age Perfecting my lemonade
Keep it sacred in my space the lavender with the sage
When ever you get this high you sleep on the top of nimbuses
Jump on your bed and rain down on all of your nemesis
Riding in a bucket tryna soak up all this game
Competition at my sweep I just slide a little different

Painting pictures with my penmanship
Bleeping out the sleepers all aboard on this censorship
This here my moment I dont feel the need to censor shit
Cuz they goin find a way to take away my first amendment shit
I can scream oh lord what do I have in this poor world
Only thing I count on is the love of my four girls
Keep my head on a swivel just in case the pave bends
Knowing that I gave it all when the days end
They say
No matter how fast I go
They say time will be ahead of me im just
Hopin' that I catch my ghost
Feel I'm gettin' close
But they always say that
No matter how fast I go
They say time will be ahead of me im just
Hopin' that I catch my ghost
See you at the finish line
And I don’t need your reassurance on the way
On the day to day I’m tryna make a living wage
Hearing all the whining y’all sounding like crushed grapes
My lemons and sugar cane In a sense these incense are in cents
I needed a change
Something to get me a bit excited
Cuz now I’m pushing the effort to let them know I’m ignited
The flame doesn’t flicker it gets bigger as i fuel it
With every line spoken the punches I can’t pull em and so
My platform will be used for the culture
Big plate all kosher, the remains for the vultures
Know I’m getting closer to everything I imagined
Focus on my focus I can make it all happen
They goin talk give them shit they can discuss
When its cold I just keep my dogs closer on the mush
On the hush see this touch you can trust aint a crutch
Shit is lush never rush, in the dust I can leave but they always say
No matter how fast I go
They say time will be ahead of me im just
Hopin' that I catch my ghost
Feel I'm gettin' close
But they always say that
No matter how fast I go
They say time will be ahead of me im just
Hopin' that I catch my ghost
See you at the finish line
And they say don’t go chasing these waterfalls but what of these pavements
It got me anxious I’m racing

They say don’t go chasing these waterfalls but what of these pavements
I practice patience I pace it

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of D-Title's song "Trials" seem to convey a sense of self-assurance and determination amidst life's challenges. The artist expresses a belief in their own ways and chooses to focus on personal growth and financial success, rather than seeking validation from others. The imagery of perfecting lemonade and keeping a sacred space with lavender and sage suggests a dedication to self-improvement and maintaining inner peace.

The lyrics also touch upon themes of resilience and empowerment, as the artist describes rising above obstacles and competition in a unique way. By painting pictures with their penmanship and speaking their truth without censorship, the artist asserts their individuality and autonomy in a world that may try to silence or diminish their voice. The mention of the first amendment underscores the importance of freedom of expression and the artist's refusal to be silenced.

The repeated chorus "No matter how fast I go, they say time will be ahead of me" reflects a contemplation on the passage of time and the pursuit of one's goals. Despite the inevitable march of time, the artist remains hopeful and determined to catch up with their aspirations, symbolized by catching their ghost at the finish line. This longing for accomplishment and fulfillment is palpable throughout the song, driving the artist forward in their journey.

The final verses allude to the cautionary advice of not chasing waterfalls, suggesting a sense of hesitancy and anxiety about the unknown paths ahead. Despite this, the artist practices patience and paces themselves, indicating a willingness to navigate the challenges of life at their own speed. The lyrics overall paint a picture of a person grappling with self-assurance, determination, and the pursuit of dreams in the face of uncertainties and obstacles, making "Trials" a poignant reflection on the human experience.

Gun owners are responsible for their guns, furthermore, when you have a child with mental problems you don’t get him a gun!

@tammyorton6356

This is not about the weapon used, it is about WHO is responsible for the death of the children.

Will a cafeteria worker be held responsible for death, IF the child uses a fork from the cafeteria, to kill another child?

@NurseyPants73

This amateur hour attorney thinks she's relating to a jury by telling them overtly that she was 'warming up' her voice to Bad Blood on the way to work, both admitting she pulled her opening statement outta her ass last minute and is completely tone deaf to enlist a lyric about "bullet holes" in ironic context.
Also cannot have it both ways that this is a mom so in touch with her son's needs & wellbeing that she takes him to urgent care for a fuggin mole while also not knowing her son better than the school administrative staff the attorney is craftily calling "trained experts" who by allowing Ethan to stay in school/not enforcing his dismissal with the parents, cancel out the parents culpability for enabling him, literally supplying the weapon used.
Defense better hope no juror has/has ever had a teenager at home - using the argument he was hiding things from her, lying to her. That's every 15 yr old ever. Let alone a troubled one. Not making a great argument this parent "would've been on top of it" when we know she texted him that he needed to get better at manipulation & not getting caught.
Cant play it that he was keeping things from his mom when she herself was advising him to be better with the down low. Did she think he'd ever go as far as he did? No? Ok, exactly what non violent direction would one logically go in possession of a gun? Especially a teenager you just said hides and lies to his doting mom?
Would a decent parent hand a box of matches to a toddler, take them to a place where they could practice striking them & lighting fires? The easy equilvant to giving a depressed, angsty teen a literal loaded gun.
You can say you didnt think he'd ever harm someone but can you really believe that?!...what tf else is it for!? You know what matches are for & you know what guns are for. Neither belong in the hands of children. Especially children that you (the person who supposedly loves them more than anyone) are now contending in your stupid defense you couldnt ever trust. Parents with kids who've shot & killed themselves by getting into the parent's unsecured gun have been prosecuted so parents with a kid who killed others with a gun that was gifted to them damn skippy can/should be.

Weak opening argument

@dreamzofhorses

13w↑18

No you can send a message to parents: Keep guns locked and away from your children. Listen to your child and their teachers when they are both telling you your kid is seriously needing mental health help. Don’t ignore the signs or when they tell you. Because these two things did not happen because these parents did not do anything. They gave him a gun instead of a therapist, refused to listen to him asking for help or his school who wanted them to pay attention and get him help. No they gave him a gun and left him alone at home most of the time. They did not do the “best they could” to help their son. Then after wards they ran and hid because they knew they were neglectful and responsible for what he did. Other children died because of their neglect and self serving actions. I hope they do some serious time. They make me sick as they still take zero responsibility for their son and what he did. They blame Ethan and everyone else. Disgusting.

You have no idea what happened because the trial just started! Anything else is just hearsay...and media propaganda....you should never sit on a jury!

@debraallender7444

What else is her defense? We knew this would be the case! She can't say, oops, I should have locked up that darn gun. Sorry. Oops, I should have taken him to a therapist. She has no defense. She ignored all of the blazing red flags her son was waving in her face.

At one point, when violence truly gets out hand, we will make the choice between saving lives or honoring stupid traditions such as 2nd amendment idea. When will that time come?

This is a slippery slope. The precedence this would set is not worth a conviction in this case.

@tammyorton6356

Would the parent be responsible for the death of a child, IF their child picks up a stick, or a fork from the cafeteria...... and stabs another child, killing the child?

@silverbulletgarage309

13w

No because the parent didn’t buy the child a weapon. You sound dense

@tammyorton6356

@@silverbulletgarage309
Was the weapon actually the childs? Did he keep it in his room and use it when ever he pleased?
OR did the parent just "say" it was his?

And you sound like "not a parent".

Sometimes actual parents buy their children things, and just "say" it belongs to the child..... When infact it isn't the childs at all...... Until the parent
"gives it" to the child and allows them to have or keep it.
