Nitro
Hodgy Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
In your head they tellin' you, "they gon' shoot you, they gon' kill you
They gon', You ain't gon' live," you know what I mean?
You be like "I'm set up, I'm good." You really don't know that, right?
You could have all the money in your pocket and you dead in five seconds
From a car crash, you know what I'm saying?
But that man was feelin' like he had everything
He got his house on the hill, driving his big Bentley
You know what I'm saying? Yeah, yeah, yeah, but then all of a sudden, look
The lyrics in Hodgy's song "Nitro" delve into the concept of the fire within oneself, juxtaposed against the external factors that can threaten and ultimately extinguish that fire. The opening lines highlight the distinction between the fire within (symbolizing passion, drive, and a sense of purpose) and the thoughts that consume one's mind (representing doubts, fears, and negative influences).
The following lines discuss the disturbing thoughts that can plague one's mind, instilling a sense of impending doom. These thoughts manifest as warnings, telling the individual that they are in danger and that their life is at risk. However, Hodgy challenges the validity of these thoughts, suggesting that they may not accurately reflect reality. He implies that even if one believes they are safe and secure, the unpredictability of life can render those beliefs false.
The subsequent lines paint a contrast between the illusion of having everything and the fleeting nature of life itself. Hodgy presents a scenario of a man who seems to have it all—a luxurious house, a fancy car, financial stability, and domestic bliss. However, he highlights the impermanence of this facade by introducing the concept of mortality. The man's apparent contentment is overshadowed by the sudden realization that one can lose everything in a matter of seconds, without warning or regard for material possessions.
Overall, these lyrics serve as a reminder that no matter how secure and successful we may appear on the surface, life is fragile and can be unexpectedly snuffed out. The fire within us should not be hindered by negative thoughts or the false sense of security that material wealth can provide. Instead, we should embrace the uncertainty of life and cherish the moments that truly matter.

Do you comprehend my message? Yes, yes, yes, but unexpectedly, observe what unfolded.
