The Rock
Dr. Duda and Dr. M-bee Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

How I calculate all this
Moves made in the uncle ruckus of loud silence
Visions lost in the click and the tick of a rusted timex
Emotion, simmering in the pyrex
Convince the jury, the defense rest
10 seconds left, gimme da rock, say less
Built for the pressure
Doc scholls in my insole
Take over, in the spirit in the depth of my inner soul




Yeah, born by the light on the corner on the pole
Born of the light

Overall Meaning

The lyrics in Dr. Duda and Dr. M-bee's song "The Rock" speak to the inner strength, perseverance and determination that the artist possesses. The opening line, "How I calculate all this" speaks to the process of analyzing and understanding the challenges presented, and finding the best path to success. The use of the phrase "uncle ruckus of loud silence" paints a picture of an environment that is chaotic, yet quiet. This juxtaposition creates a sense of tension and unease.


The second line, "Visions lost in the click and the tick of a rusted timex" speaks to the passage of time and the feeling of being trapped or stuck. The use of "rusted" suggests that time has not been kind, and the "click and tick" create a sense of urgency and panic. The third line, "Emotion, simmering in the pyrex" suggests that despite the chaos and pressure, the artist is able to contain and control their emotions. This could be seen as a strength or a weakness, depending on the interpretation.


The fourth line, "Convince the jury, the defense rest" suggests that the artist is fighting for something important, whether it be their reputation, their freedom, or something else entirely. The fifth line, "10 seconds left, gimme da rock, say less" is a clear allusion to basketball, and the desire to take control in the final moments of a game. The next few lines speak to the artist's inner strength, the support they have from others, and their ability to overcome adversity.
