You Feat. 12 Gauge Shottie
I-Rocc Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Disguised n a mask full of love but behind it lie a heart full of hate
Look Medusa in her face
I'm bouta cut the head of the snake
To be great
I'll do anything it take
Im pacing myself
Feel I'm running in place
I be floating in space
I reach for the stars
And I know it ain't safe
Just to get to the top
It's some risks you're gone take
Fuck it let's do it
And go all the way
Step in my way
And get put on a plate
I been trapped in the dark
Im just tryna escape
Still get caught in these feelings
I'm tryna evade
I know that you're fake
Who you tryna persuade
The devil been lurking
Won't get me today
Had to swallow my pride
It wasn't easy to say
Had to distance myself
Think it's better that way
I keep watching da vultures
They ain't coming closer
I'm tryna cut ties
She keep begging for closure
I still play it cool
Always keeping it kosher
Abusing these drugs
I ain't never sober
He should be a model
I heard he a poser
They really gone hate
When my name on a poster
Can't sit at my table
You don't use a coaster
It's all bout respect
I can't let nothing over
I'm tryna show love
But my heart getting colder
Im seeing things clear
As I start getting older
I watched em' all fold on me
Just like a folder
Forever im solid
Just like a boulder
I'm drenched in the sauce
When I slip on these loafers
Your hoe turn a freak
Cuz she say you don't post her
I fuck her one time
Then like Casper I ghost her
I whip it so good
Make me feel like a chauffeur
Stay in yo lane
I wont let em' get over
They try wear me down
But don't break my composure
Forever I'm grateful
Until it's all over
I feel like the weight
Of the world on my shoulders
I know ima pop
I just need sum exposure
She wan give me top
Ion even know her
My Dawgs got my back
Got em whatching my shoulder
You better fall back
You get smacked you come closer
I pour out my thoughts when I hop in this booth
Im losing my friends like I'm losing my youth
Sometimes I feel like ion know what to do
I'm tired of the lies all I want is the truth
Feel like I been stuck all I want is to move
I was loyal to people that want me to lose
I been dancing with demons I'm bouta let loose
Bout to blow off the top of this muffucking roof
I can see it in their face
Disguised n a mask full of love but behind it lie a heart full of hate
Look Medusa in her face
I'm bouta cut the head of the snake
To be great
I'll do anything it take
Im pacing myself
Feel I'm running in place
I get so damn high
I be floating in space
I reach for the stars
And I know it ain't safe
Just to get to the top
It's some risks you're gone take
Fuck it let's do it
And go all the way
Step in my way
And get put on a plate
I been trapped in the dark
Im just tryna escape
Still get caught in these feelings
I'm tryna evade
I know that you're fake
Who you tryna persuade
The devil been lurking
Won't get me today
Had to swallow my pride
It wasn't easy to say
Had to distance myself
Think it's better that way
The lyrics to "You" by I-Rocc featuring 12 Gauge Shottie showcase an artist who is determined to succeed but is also struggling with the darker parts of life. The first lines of the song "I can see it in their face, Disguised n a mask full of love but behind it lie a heart full of hate" suggest that the artist is wary of people who pretend to care but are actually looking out for their own interests. He goes on to say that he is willing to do whatever it takes to be great, but feels like he is stuck in one place, unable to move forward. This frustration is compounded by his drug use, which allows him to escape his feelings but also leaves him feeling disconnected from the world around him.
The chorus of the song ("I get so damn high, I be floating in space") further emphasizes the idea that the artist is struggling to find his place in the world. He knows that he wants to succeed ("I reach for the stars"), but is aware of the risks involved in doing so. Despite this, he is determined to keep moving forward ("Fuck it let's do it and go all the way") and warns anyone who tries to stand in his way that they will be taken down ("Step in my way and get put on a plate").
Overall, the lyrics to "You" suggest an artist who is both introspective and ruthless, aware of his weaknesses but determined to overcome them. The use of metaphors (such as Medusa and the head of the snake) adds an extra layer of depth and complexity to the lyrics, making them compelling and thought-provoking.
