Predicament
E-Motion Lyrics

Rap number 18
Beginning the song with the announcement of the track name

Or is this rap number 20
Uncertainty about the order of the song in the artist's discography

I can't even ask my parents to even spend my own money
Financial constraint of the artist not allowing them to invest in their own equipment

To get some equipment
Necessity of equipment to become successful

To succeed in this predicament
The artist considers their situation to be a predicament

When it comes to rappin I start becoming persistent
The passion and persistence of the artist when it comes to rapping

The more I keep writing the more I become consistent
Consistency achieved through continuous writing and practice

Separating from my friends talk about being distant
Artist feels a distance from their friends as they pursue their passion in music

Don't try and test me
Artist warns their listeners not to try and challenge them

Or try to get the best of me
Challenging the artist would be a bad idea for the challenger

The way I be rappin I should earn a 5 star degree
Claiming their skills are so good they should receive a degree for it

The way I rap it's insane
Artist believes their rapping skills to be abnormal

This rap ain't hard to explain
Artist believes that the meaning and flow of their rap is easy to understand

Now look I'm at the top of the food chain
Artist has risen to the top of the rap game

Now check it everybody knows my name
Artist has become famous and recognizable

I guess this is what it feels like to have a lot of fame
Artist is experiencing the feeling of being famous for the first time

I like it when the girls say my name
The validation of being recognized by female fans is pleasing to the artist

This situation is hard to explain
The emotions and events of fame are difficult to describe

All this fame is hard to maintain
Artist must work to maintain their fame and success

It's time for me to go and choose the right lane
Artist must make important decisions about their future direction

But if I choose I lose the other which is a shame
Artist is hesitant to make a decision which will result in losing something else they value

Now people wonder what's my real name
With fame comes curiosity about personal details

I tell them it's non of they business
Artist values their privacy and chooses not to reveal their real name

Now lemme get my check and ditch this
Artist is ready to collect payment and move on from their current situation

Lots of people wondering
Curiosity surrounding the artist's life and career

Now my fans are suffering
Fans are experiencing negative consequences associated with the artist's fame and success

Even though they didn't even do nothin
Fans are suffering despite not having done anything wrong

Gotta be quick on my feet and think of somethin
Artist must quickly respond and adapt to any issues arising from their fame

My fans can be judgy but I ain't judgin
Artist recognizes that fans can be critical, but they choose not to judge them

End of the day my music still be jumpin
Despite challenges, the artist's music is still popular and enjoyed by many

My shit is still bumpin
Artist's music is still relevant and popular

And havin other niggas thumpin
The artist's music is causing others to dance and enjoy themselves

Oh this isn't over
The song continues, suggesting that the story is not yet finished

Oh it's not
Reinforcing the idea that more is yet to come

The news says the president got shot
Sudden shift in topic, referencing a supposed assassination attempt on the president

That must be a fluke
Artist suggests that the news is not credible

Yup it was a joke
Confirming that the artist does not believe the news to be true

We're people happy I'd say nope
Humorous commentary, suggesting that if the president was actually shot, people would not be happy
