Southern Cross
Flaco Blanco Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Cooking at church, getting Pentecostal in the kitchen
I can't rap about struggle, always had a pot to piss in
Talk shit, it's not difficult for you to go missing
I'm a winner cracka, I didn't get any of this by luck
Domengo's right, you guys fucking suck
I'm a well dressed bum, wear the same outfit for a month
You're a good person at heart, so please stop acting like a cunt
But sometimes you get what you need
And my lungs feel better since I stopped smoking weed
By the way that you talk I'm surprised you can read
I got eight on my back like I'm Steven Gerrard
You don't represent this city, you're not even that hard
I keep forgetting to top up my Opal card
I keep forgetting some of my hardest bars
I think that God was talking to me, I just couldn't be arsed to listen
Cooking at church, getting Pentecostal in the kitchen
I can't rap about struggle, always had a pot to piss in
Talk shit, it's not difficult for you to go missing
I'm a winner cracka, I didn't get any of this by luck
Domengo's right, you guys fucking suck
I'm a well dressed bum, wear the same outfit for a month
You're a good person at heart, so please stop acting like a cunt
I think that God was talking to me, I just couldn't be arsed to listen
Cooking at church, getting Pentecostal in the kitchen
I can't rap about struggle, always had a pot to piss in
Talk shit, it's not difficult for you to go missing
I'm a winner cracka, I didn't get any of this by luck
Domengo's right, you guys fucking suck
I'm a well dressed bum, wear the same outfit for a month
You're a good person at heart, so please stop acting like a cunt
The lyrics of Flaco Blanco's song "Southern Cross" convey a sense of self-awareness and defiance. The opening line, "I think that God was talking to me, I just couldn't be arsed to listen," suggests that the singer acknowledges the presence of something greater but chooses to ignore it, perhaps due to a lack of motivation or indifference. The next lines, "Cooking at church, getting Pentecostal in the kitchen," metaphorically describe the singer's involvement in religious activities but not fully embracing the spiritual aspects. It could imply a superficial engagement or a disregard for truly understanding the teachings.
The following lines, "I can't rap about struggle, always had a pot to piss in," highlight the singer's privilege and inability to authentically identify with hardship. This contrasts with the line "Talk shit, it's not difficult for you to go missing," which suggests that the singer is not afraid to call out those who engage in negativity or disrespectful behavior.
The chorus repeats the phrase "I'm a winner cracka" to assert the singer's confidence and success, attributing it to personal qualities rather than luck. The line "You're a good person at heart, so please stop acting like a cunt" could be seen as a plea for others to be true to themselves instead of resorting to negative behavior.
Overall, "Southern Cross" explores themes of self-reflection, privilege, and the need for authenticity in personal growth and interactions with others.
