In this room
In this room
Stuck, stuck, nigga come and meet your doom
In this room
In this room
In this room
In this room, nigga come and meet your doom
In this room
In this room
Stuck, stuck, nigga come and meet your doom
In this room
In this room
In this room
In this room, nigga come and meet your doom
Hello Hello, live at the Apollo
Ga-li what do I know, hair knotty no nachos
Head honcho, rocking with mis hermanos
No, no smoke gelato, rest in peace Jimmy Wopo
You a opp-o? Get to popping your top-o
Niggas acting macho, til' it's beef like a taco
Niggas not though, hit him if he move hot though
We know talk is cheap, these niggas barking alot though
Nigga this bigger than life
My niggas give me the light
I gotta get this shit right (right?)
Feel like I did this shit twice!
Show me a bitch I might like
Show me a nigga this nice
Really just living the life
They see me eating, won't get em' a slice
We put they head in a vice, you niggas need some advice
We just be rolling the dice like, "where is you going in life"?
(YEAH)
Bitch I'm in and out of this limbo
Hair knotty, no pick though
Hair knotty, my ends low
And I whip in and out of that tempo
In this room
In this room
In this room
Stuck, stuck, nigga come and meet your doom
In this room
In this room
In this room
In this room, nigga come and meet your doom
In this room
In this room
In this room
Stuck, stuck, nigga come and meet your doom
In this room
In this room
In this room
In this room, nigga come and meet your doom
The lyrics to HENRY CASTRO!'s song "DOOM" convey a sense of confinement and impending danger. The repetition of the phrase "In this room" emphasizes a feeling of being stuck or trapped within a certain situation or environment. The line "Stuck, stuck, nigga come and meet your doom" suggests that whoever is in this room will face a negative or fatal outcome.
The opening lines of the second verse introduce a change in tone, as the singer addresses someone named "Ga-li" and refers to the Apollo Theater, a famous venue. The use of the phrase "hair knotty no nachos" may play with the idea of a unique or unconventional appearance, contrasting with the mainstream, as "nachos" could represent something stereotypical or expected. The references to Jimmy Wopo, an artist who passed away, and the dismissal of someone as an "opp-o" (opponent) suggest a confrontational nature to the song.
The following lines delve further into the theme of bravado and addressing challenges. The mention of beef, like a taco, refers to conflict, with the mention of "talk is cheap" and "barking a lot though" criticizing those who only talk without taking real action. This section conveys a sense of assertiveness and a readiness to confront obstacles head-on.
In the final verse, the lyrics shift to a more introspective tone. The line "Bitch I'm in and out of this limbo" suggests a state of uncertainty or seeking direction, with the repetition of "Hair knotty, no pick though" potentially indicating a refusal to conform to societal norms. The mention of living life and enjoying success without sharing it with others implies a sense of self-preservation and the need to prioritize oneself.
Overall, "DOOM" by HENRY CASTRO! explores themes of confinement, confrontation, and individual self-preservation. It combines elements of bravado and bravely facing challenges with a more inward focus on personal growth and assertiveness. The repeated phrase "In this room" serves as a metaphor for a specific situation or circumstances that the song's subject finds themselves in, creating a sense of claustrophobia and urgency.
