Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

My bro said "Don't say that"
I said "Fuck that, I'm gon' be gettin' a wooping anyway
Don't make no goddamn difference"
Fuck that, I'm not one to find shit
What your mom say? "Take the garbage out, fuck"
(Yeah) Yeah, don't lose the beat motherfucker
Take the garbage out
Yeah yeah, I just upped the flows to the God level nigga what
Yeah, yeah
Finna up the flows to the God level, nigga, what
Yeah, check check
Yeah, mic check check
Yeah, nigga, check check
Yeah, bitch, check check
Yeah, yeah

Quarter thang to a whole thang, whole gang workin' (yeah)
Hit a bitch with that extended clip or that revolver
Shit'll serve the same purpose (bang, bang)
Keep them beamin' up to Scotty in my crack lobby
I can smell the 'caine burnin'
Michael Jordan, 1985, bitch, I travel with the cocaine circus
Put them F and Xs on your clowned ass
Catch a nigga up and leave him down bad
I go get a pack and take a nigga town
And fuck his bitches with my out of town ass
Bomb on niggas like Nagasaki
Rocket next to my pocket, hot like hibachi
Drop the check on the bitch man
These niggas be lookin' like baby mommas in these Maseratis
Bitch, I fuck up your face with a razor
How I make sure your motherfuckin' family can't view your body
Nigga thuggin' and shit, put my blood in his shit
Prick my finger, Alfredo, Illuminati (Illuminati)
Joe Pesci, pushin' product
You niggas is sweeter than Joe Exotic
On the run like Assata, so fuck the police
As a nigga be chillin' in La Habana (up in La Habana)
Police caught him with a whole thang
Now they snitchin' man, whole gang workin'
Gangland, made a lane in it
If my name in it, it's a gang murder
All my reps in the crack files, bitch, I got 'em up out the vault
I'm the reason your mama be smokin' that Brillo and be rippin' them car antennas off
Geekers beamin' up to Scotty in my crack lobby
I can smell the 'caine burnin'
Gangland, if you put a hit on Freddie 'caine it'll be a gang murder
1985, Michael Jordan, bitch, I travel with a cocaine circus
Flow God level, like when Hov speak
I make a song, weep, I got the game hurtin'

Bitch, yeah yeah
Flow God level, like when Hov speak
I make a song, weep, I got the game hurtin'
Yeah, yeah yeah
Yeah, check check
Check check
Mic check check
Check check
Niggas need a check, check, yeah
We got everybody in the house, tonight




I'll wait for my DJ to get ready
Nah

*Start by saying I love you all my brothers and sisters, and pray for you in these times. I know people are going to say I'm crazy, I don't care. I just love anyways.


That out the way......Gibbs done been my favorite rapper for years and years now, always loved the fact he's from my home state of Indiana....I loved this dude and all his work especially with MadLib. But on this album (the cover art alone has some pretty straightforward occult symbolism)....you get this line:

"Nigga thuggin’ and shit, put my BLOOD in this shit
PRICK my FINGER, Alfredo, ILLUMINATI (Illuminati)

-there was NO reason for that line. It's actually completely irrelevant to all the surrounding verses and their context. The man, again who was 1000% my favorite rapper, just said he did a blood sacrifice & oath to the illuminati.

Then in the same song:
"Flow God level, like when HOV speak"

And anyone who knows anything about the occultism that's always ran rampant all while being SO ridiculously & OBVIOUSLY present in the industry to anyone looking, knows "HOV" is a luciferian "do what thou wilt" piece of garbage who worked with the piece of trash, eastern mystery school teachings & the "light bearer" Lucifer, follower......Rick Rubin.

And he got rick ross on a feature now too? Nawwww that's a hard pass.

To sum it up. Been following Freddie basically since he got big enough to leave Indiana as a rapper. He goes from underground, then to MadLib who takes him to a whole other level, and he's who gibbs KISSES on the NPR tiny desk show. Now think/say what you will, that is NOT normal at all especially where he, WE came from. Then we start getting the biggest/best music video stuff he's ever done, flow was always good but has got insanely good the last 2 years or less. He's spitting straight fire, working with the ALCHEMIST (alchemy= an occult practice) and talking about pricking his finger to give blood to the illuminati and that he talks like God/HOV......and he's blowing up as I type this, at the same time?

Open your eyes and ears, even though the truth on this one hurts BAD. If anyone doesn't want what I said to be true, it's me.

God, Yahushua/Jesus to be specific, bless you all. Nothing but love, no matter your feeling on what I said. All I know is Gibbs needs prayers. We ALWAYS have a choice.
