Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Don't need No Outlet Validation Eye'm the Plug
Deeper than that 6 feet that You Dug
All of The Dirt
Swept Under the Rug
Treat it like Raid Had to Spray it All Up
Get In Da Way You Gotta Deal Wit All Us
Not Here To Play or Talk Bout Small Bucks
Tookie Tookie Sookie Sookie Awwww Shucks
Noble yet Eye Know Bout All Crooks

Balance
Definitely appreciate You Silence
Peep Da Science
Cut Off Cameras Cue Da Sirens
Eye Been Ridin
Dirty Worthy Of Supplying
An They Done Tried Him
See these Days Who You Liking aint Even Applyin
If You Money In the Hood Look Out They Might SixNine'em
Watch the First 48 an How They Droppin Diamonds
Eye'm A student To it All So I Just Nevermind'em
Grew in Da Bay Was Can I Say Most Of My Life Was Hyphy
Far Rock Went Crooklun Got To Know Sum Grimey
Only MDS the Only Man To Ever Sign Me
If Not For Policies In Place For Which You Use To Fine Me
Or Lock Me Up So Kindly
Eye'd Probably Be Divinely
In Ah Blissful Of Peace Instead Kushy Leaf
And ah Guiness to This Head I Gotta Tame dis Beast
Eye Don't Like Seeing Red Just To Say Da Least
Let Me Hol My Peace
Sheeeeeeeeesssssshhhhhhhh

Check out my method
Checked out dis system
Don't get X'd out on my checklist
Lotta problem solving out here when it's hectic
Mommas traumatized from all these transgressions
Eye'ma problem cause eye ask da witty questions
Like no co-inky-dinky why set trip
My Blood Blue and Red Royal ain't no question
Arm leg leg arm head Da lesson
Been Keepin quite on my humble
Ain't much flexin
Before some covid
Eye was tried see eye been tested
Found out my weapon
Eye'ma squeeze it Imma Press it
Don't study so deep
Where U go N Miss dat Message

Fill it up
Cup Runeth Over
While bending some comas
All these entities
Hard to keep it sober
In A lane
Outta range
Still motor-rolla
Yet still we hear dat bang an Dey scream jahova

Sixteen in da rocket
Keep One ready in Da Chame
Circuit to da socket
Eyem Plugin creaTin Lanes
Let da opposition knock it
See We not thinking da same
On my mama pain an trauma

Get da concept
Stick to progress
Pay sum homage mapping
Blind retina turned on me
Never mind my back den
Articulate wid danger
No stranger my passion




Might confuse my anger
Boogie-Reason Eyem Trapped In

Overall Meaning

In "Tried N Tru" by i-Rocc, the artist emphasizes his self-worth and resilience in the face of opposition. He starts by stating that he does not need validation from an external source because he is the "plug," the source of his own success. Furthermore, he is not deterred by the dirt that others try to sweep under the rug; instead, he sprays it all up like Raid, dealing with anyone who gets in his way. He is not playing small bucks and cannot be deterred by small-time crooks. Instead, he remains noble while acknowledging the existence of all sorts of crooks.


The second verse is a reflection on his life, having grown up in the Bay area and later moving to Far Rockaway. He acknowledges that he is grateful to have ended up where he is, as despite the policies and attitudes of those around him, music has allowed him to escape from a life of non-stop conflict. He feels like he is always being tested, but he has emerged stronger with a weapon and the willingness to use it if needed. He stresses that the message he is sending is not one of a prophet, but rather a call for others to "tap in."
