DJ-K Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Shining bright like a diamond just like I knew I could
When I'm back in the town they like, you gone for good
I thought my mission was simple bring it back to the hood
I'm solid on ten toes that's where I always stood
I'm speakin the gospel like mama said I should
The dreams that I had was Dr. King good
I'll never need your help, I'll feed myself
I'm serving for three terms, I'm Roosevelt
They question my status, but I guess time will tell
I won't walk down the aisle and I won't wear a veil
But I might give him some pussy if he don't kiss and tell
I got some family that ain't goin' wish me well But if I'm rich and won't help em then they goin' give me hell
My cousin was rotting locked away in a cell
No matter what happened he vowed to never tell
Karma's a bitch but I'm a lick her lips For me she like to get beautiful then she like to kiss
Call me over for dinner then serve the coldest dish
I spit her lyrics from Jay-Z's excuse me miss
My momma losing her mind off them prescription pills
I'm poppin' em too, I don't know how to deal
My mama my mirror and life was way too real
The road done got bumpy so Jesus take the wheel
I know you think that you know, but you have no idea
The road done got bumpy so Jesus take the wheel
In these lyrics, DJ-K reflects on his status as the illest and most respected artist alive. He confidently asserts that he is often discussed but never touched, expressing a challenge to anyone who dares to confront him. He compares himself to a shining diamond, emphasizing his own success and self-belief. When he returns to his hometown, people recognize his talent and acknowledge that he will make a lasting impact. He mentions his mission to bring back success and recognition to the hood, indicating his commitment to his roots.
DJ-K prides himself on being solid and standing firm, always remaining true to himself and his values. He describes his words as gospel, reminiscent of his mother's teachings. Inspired by Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., he aspires to make a positive difference through his music and actions. He asserts his independence, stating that he doesn't need anyone's help because he derives his creativity and influence directly from his own source of inspiration, much like Justin Bieber.
Drawing a parallel to Franklin D. Roosevelt's three-term presidency, DJ-K envisions a long-lasting impact and relevance. Despite facing doubts and questioning about his status, he believes that time will validate his worth and show his true capabilities. He expresses his non-conformity by stating that he won't conform to societal norms by walking down the aisle or wearing a wedding veil. However, he implies that he might engage intimately with someone, but only if they prove trustworthy and keep their encounters private.
The artist touches on the strained relationships within his family, acknowledging that not everyone will wish him well. He reveals that he has a cousin who is imprisoned and has vowed to never betray anyone, despite the circumstances. DJ-K recognizes the concept of karma and personifies it as a female, explaining that he is aware of the consequences of his actions. He notes that karma can be both beautiful and punishing, highlighting its unpredictable nature.
DJ-K opens up about his personal struggles, particularly his mother's addiction to prescription pills. He admits that he also relies on them but doesn't know how to cope with the challenges they present. He views his mother as his mirror, reflecting the harsh realities of life that he has experienced. As the road of life becomes increasingly difficult, he metaphorically asks Jesus to take control and guide him through the obstacles.
In summary, these lyrics delve into DJ-K's self-assurance and determination to succeed in his career. He embraces his individuality and challenges societal norms while grappling with complex familial and personal issues. Through his words, he exposes his vulnerability and seeks solace in faith as he navigates the difficulties that come his way.
