Gabriel the angel Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And I mean early as hell
I know a lot of mother fuckers
Either dead or in jail
Uh-huh, yah
That's either dead or in jail
And I can't get caught lacking
Got to be cautious for real
So I'm playing the field
Or I'm playing to keep
Look like the catch of the week
I cast my net out in the shallow
Had to switch to the deep
This IG model she hit follow
She said she's dying to meet
While I'm just dying to live
And they're all dying to speak
And be heard
But I can't give my fucking ear to the weak
(Oh no)
No, I can't listen to your shit on repeat
(Oh no)
No, I can't play back
This ain't saving
This feels more like spending
What would you say if I told you that I
Could show you heaven
These stranger things
I'm airing out like my name was Eleven
I'm here forever
(Think forever)
Because forever has changed
This holy water I'm submerging
This is not for taste
These UV's not for goofies
These for those that been amazing
(Oh oh)
I took my oath
To show that we've been silently
(Silently)
Silently slaving
Silently slaving
Silently slaving
Silently slaving
Eleven on the dot we pull up right to the spot
(Oh no)
We pull up right to the spot
And I've got heaven on my mind
While I'm still racing these cops
(I'm gone oh)
And I'm still racing these cops
This snotty love in my slime
That shit is all that I've got
These drugs been fucking with your mind
They make you all that you're not
I'm like a twin to the stars
While I got kids with the moon
I'm like a road to a car
I'm like a flower when it blooms
Kind of like a kid with some candy lately
The cocaine's been planted baby
And the government set us up
All for failure
This shit is crazy
(Oh no)
I can't go down
Not for snow no
My dad was a crack addict
But by God, I can't control him
Only control myself
My fate
My destiny
My future
And my wealth
I'm flushing out all of these cards
That the fed's had dealt
Learn to love them less and less
Ain't no pity round here
Pussy boy
We've been fucking blessed
By 3pm, my per diem's looking hefty as hell
Been looking hefty as hell
(Looking hefty and swole)
I pray to God that I don't wind up either
Dead or in jail
(Oh no)
Its either dead or in jail
Two routes to choose from
My route is chosen
No room for losses
You are golden
God-like
My life is a movie
All these actors faking
Fuck their movements
By 4 pm we see the pearly gates
Been open forever
And forever
They're staying open hoping
You could do better
And by better
Not staying true to you
It worse than ever
Pull the lever
Wash all the hate with
Fucking bleach
And four letters
That's love
That's love for sure
That's love for sure
That's love

The song begins with the singer waking up early in the morning and acknowledging that many people he knows are either dead or incarcerated. This sets the tone for the rest of the song, highlighting the importance of staying cautious and aware of the dangers that surround him.
The artist recognizes that the world he lives in is fragile, comparing it to a house of cards. They also mention playing the field, indicating that they are navigating the unpredictable nature of life, always adapting and strategizing to keep themselves safe.

The chorus emphasizes the artist's rejection of negativity and mediocrity. They refuse to waste their time listening to repetitive or trivial conversations, highlighting their focus on a higher purpose. The mention of "stranger things" is a metaphor for the artist airing out their inner thoughts and secrets, similar to how the character Eleven exposes secrets in the show Stranger Things.
The song continues with references to drugs and the struggles they bring. The artist acknowledges the allure and temporary escape they provide but also recognizes the detrimental effects they have on perception and self-identity. They compare themselves to celestial bodies, feeling both connected to and separate from the world around them. The artist also touches on their upbringing, acknowledging their father's addiction but emphasizing their commitment to controlling their own fate and flourishing in life.
As the song progresses, the artist expresses their dedication to success and their refusal to be brought down by setbacks or external forces.

The song takes a spiritual turn, mentioning the pearly gates, symbolizing heaven. The artist suggests that these gates have been open forever, hoping that people will strive to do better and be true to themselves. They advocate for love as a solution to hate, emphasizing the importance of uplifting one another instead of tearing each other down. The repetition of "That's love for sure" drives home the message of choosing love over hate.
Overall, "7AM" is a reflective and aspirational song that explores the challenges of life and the importance of personal growth, self-control, and spreading love. The artist, Gabriel the angel, invites listeners to navigate the complexities of life with caution, determination, and a focus on positivity.
Line by Line Meaning
7 am, I woke up early as hell
I woke up very early in the morning
And I mean early as hell
I mean really early
I know a lot of mother fuckers
I know many people
Either dead or in jail
Who are either dead or incarcerated
That's either dead or in jail
I'm emphasizing the fact that many people I know are in very bad situations
And I can't get caught lacking
I can't afford to be unprepared
Got to be cautious for real
I have to be genuinely cautious
I know this house is made of cards
I am aware that everything is unstable
So I'm playing the field
I'm exploring different options
Or I'm playing to keep
Or I'm playing to safeguard my position
Look like the catch of the week
I appear to be someone worth pursuing
I cast my net out in the shallow
I initially searched in superficial places
Had to switch to the deep
But then I had to explore deeper and more meaningful aspects
This IG model she hit follow
This Instagram model started following me
She said she's dying to meet
She expressed a strong desire to meet me
While I'm just dying to live
While all I want is to truly experience life
And they're all dying to speak
And everyone is desperate to be heard
And be heard
And have their voices recognized
But I can't give my fucking ear to the weak
But I can't waste my time on those who lack strength
No, I can't listen to your shit on repeat
No, I can't keep hearing your nonsense over and over again
No, I can't play back
No, I can't engage in meaningless conversations
This ain't saving
This isn't helping anyone
This feels more like spending
It feels like a waste of time
What would you say if I told you that I
How would you react if I told you that I
Could show you heaven
Could reveal something amazing
These stranger things
These mysterious occurrences
I'm airing out like my name was Eleven
I'm exposing and discussing them openly like the TV show character Eleven
I'm here forever
I will exist eternally
Because forever has changed
But the concept of forever has shifted
This holy water I'm submerging
I'm immersing myself in sacred elements
This is not for taste
This is not meant to be enjoyed
These UV's not for goofies
These ultraviolet lights are not for foolish people
These for those that been amazing
These are for those who have been incredible
I took my oath
I made a solemn promise
To show that we've been silently
To demonstrate that we have been quietly
Silently slaving
Silently working laboriously
Eleven on the dot we pull up right to the spot
Exactly at eleven o'clock, we arrive at the location
We pull up right to the spot
We arrive directly at the destination
And I've got heaven on my mind
I'm constantly thinking about something heavenly
While I'm still racing these cops
While I'm still evading the police
And I'm still racing these cops
And I'm still actively avoiding the authorities
This snotty love in my slime
This affectionate behavior within my grimy lifestyle
That shit is all that I've got
That's all I have
These drugs been fucking with your mind
These drugs have been negatively impacting your mental state
They make you all that you're not
They make you behave in ways that aren't true to yourself
I'm like a twin to the stars
I feel connected to the celestial bodies
While I got kids with the moon
While I have a close relationship with the moon
I'm like a road to a car
I'm like an essential part for someone's journey
I'm like a flower when it blooms
I am full of beauty and potential
Kind of like a kid with some candy lately
Similar to a child who has recently obtained some candy
The cocaine's been planted baby
The drugs have been introduced and established
And the government set us up
And the government has betrayed us
All for failure
With the intention of causing our downfall
This shit is crazy
This situation is insane
I can't go down
I cannot allow myself to fail
Not for snow no
Not even for drugs
My dad was a crack addict
My father was addicted to crack cocaine
But by God, I can't control him
But I cannot control his actions
Only control myself
I can only control my own behavior
My fate
My destiny
My destiny
What is meant to happen to me
And my wealth
And my financial success
I'm flushing out all of these cards
I'm getting rid of all these uncertainties
That the fed's had dealt
That the authorities have given me
Learn to love them less and less
Learn to care about them decreasingly
Ain't no pity round here
There's no sympathy here
Pussy boy
Weak and cowardly person
We've been fucking blessed
We have been extremely fortunate
By 3pm, my per diem's looking hefty as hell
By 3pm, the amount of money I've earned is substantial
Been looking hefty as hell
And it continues to increase significantly
I pray to God that I don't wind up either
I sincerely hope that I don't end up
Dead or in jail
Either dead or incarcerated
Its either dead or in jail
That's how high the risks are
Two routes to choose from
There are two paths available
My route is chosen
I have already made my decision
No room for losses
There is no space for failures
You are golden
You are special and valuable
God-like
Like a deity
My life is a movie
My life feels like a film
All these actors faking
All these people pretending
Fuck their movements
Disregard their actions
By 4 pm we see the pearly gates
By 4 pm, we experience something divine
Been open forever
It has been open for an infinite amount of time
And forever
And it will remain open for eternity
They're staying open hoping
They remain open with the hope
You could do better
That you will improve
And by better
And by improving
Not staying true to you
By not remaining faithful to yourself
It worse than ever
It becomes even worse
Pull the lever
Activate the mechanism
Wash all the hate with
Cleanse all the negativity with
Fucking bleach
Strong bleach
And four letters
And four specific words
That's love
Those words are 'love'
That's love for sure
This is definitely love
That's love for sure
Without a doubt, that's love
