Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Had to win momma look I made it
Gang, gang everybody banging
Watered down now its saturated
Colors faded sort of jaded
I don't want to overstate it
Hold up
Innovative nigga I be shining like I'm solar
Spark a Flint Stone, big smoke
Bitch, I'm Ballin, Jim Jones
Bend bones to the point of breaking
Never faked it we been gang-related
Fuck the game its all in how you play it
Had to win momma look I made it
Gang, gang everybody banging
Watered down now its saturated
Colors faded
Stiff with the jab you know I'm backing em up
I was raised packing guns, niggas packing a lunch
I don't feel your so-called hits barely packing a punch
Nigga fuck a top 5 list let me take you to church
There's the hearse you can follow
With a body in it
Get a hearse for the beat cause I'm bodying it
In my bed, in the sheets had to body a bitch
She came back like a zombie and got bodied again
Headshot, Wilma made the Bedrock
Spark a Flint Stone big smoke
Bitch, I'm Ballin, Jim Jones
Bend bones to the point of breaking
Never faked it we been gang-related
Fuck the game its all in how you play it
Had to win momma look I made it
Gang, gang everybody banging
Watered down now its saturated
Colors faded sort of jaded
I don't want to overstate it
Hold up
Innovative nigga I be shining like I'm solar
Renovate a nigga with a trigger show you no love
Elevator, hater I'm a go ahead and go up
I’m too different they don’t sound like me
I’m too real and they clowns likely
I’m Hub City we get down, fight me
I ain’t even tryna trip so you shouldn’t try me
I’m just trying to get a freak to the house
For the late show
Take a few Gs out the ounce let the haze smoke
Looking at ya cake can we mix let it bake slow
Can I get a taste skip the chase dame besos
Check it I be solo running is a no no
You sweeter than a ho ho you not fucking with me bro bro
Get it jumping like a Lo Lo steady pumping like a rowboat
Kick it in my dojo mind my business I don’t know yours
Crack a bottle, liquor, watch a model switch up
Trying to script a flick up put you in a picture movie
If you with the business
Imma hit ya later we can get up and get the party lit up
Headshot, Wilma made the Bedrock
Spark a Flint Stone, big smoke
Bitch, I'm Ballin, Jim Jones
Bend bones to the point of breaking
Never faked it we been gang-related
Fuck the game its all in how you play it
Had to win momma look I made it
Gang, gang everybody banging
Watered down now its saturated
Colors faded sort of jaded
I don't want to overstate it
Hold up
Innovative nigga I be shining like I'm solar
Renovate a nigga with a trigger show you no love
Elevator, hater I'm a go ahead and go up
The lyrics of DJ S.K.T's song Faded are a self-referential and boastful expression of the rapper's success and recognition in the music industry. In the first verse, he describes how he made it to the top by playing the game his way and not conforming to the standards set by others. He brags about his gang affiliation and the fact that he was always true to his roots despite the game being watered down and saturated with fake players. The colors faded and jaded represent the lack of authenticity and originality in contemporary rap. He acknowledges his innovative style and shining personality, which set him apart from the crowd.
The second verse of the song is even more aggressive and self-assured. The rapper uses violent and sexual metaphors to assert his dominance over his peers. He claims that he was raised in a violent environment and is not impressed by other rappers' lackluster hits that barely pack a punch. He is unapologetically himself, and he calls out those who try to emulate his style or sound. He is from Hub City and is ready to fight anyone who doubts his authenticity or disrespects him. However, he is not all about violence and sex. He also talks about his pursuit of pleasure and hedonistic desires, inviting a freak to his house for a smoke and a drink.
The chorus of the song repeats the message of the first verse, which is that the game is all about how you play it. The rapper had to win, and he made it despite the industry's attempts to water down his style and make him conform to their standards. The gang is banging in the background, emphasizing the rapper's affiliation and willingness to stand his ground.
