Isolation
ISO INDIES Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴

Halfway to the majors
But now its minor problems
We ain’t asking for no favors
So don’t treat us like we starving
Tryna get it for our fathers
That the system tried to conquer
Still prevail thru the shots
And them charges

Yeah we on it
Here to relay our message
Went thru battles we been tested
If you ain’t bout it don’t rep it
I seen the coolest turn desperate
N***** that put in no work
Be quick to take a percentage
After school did the homework
While aunty watch young and restless
Entrepreneur from a stock clerk
Now they ask about a guest list
Is that a off white t shirt
Tell em’ yeah b**** you guessed it
They put b****** in his sweatshirt
Cause the issue, yeah he pressed it
Fully vested
Gamble on ourselves
Now them two boys invested
I did the math, i had to put
Two and two together
Cause jealousy breeds envy &
Some people lose they temper
Random slayings going on &
It don’t matter the gender
Remember praying in the storm &
I came out of it ember
Don’t be snooping round
Somebody yard
It say don’t enter
Every hood got the floodlights
N*** front and center
But they ain’t doing ish
Just to help us out
But be quick to move in
Just to get us out
This s*** feel like get out
Give your all to the streets
Then you bleed out in the streets &
She gon f*** ya mans
In the same bed sheets
Came from
Making ends meat
Just to afford dead meat
Quick pick up at swap meets
Now I cop it 10 a piece
Hoodie on was 10 deep
Now leel whippin the jeep
Ant munching on wendy's &
Reece got kali
Take a trip out to cali
Just to test the waters
Smooth sailings cause we knew
This s*** was destined for us
Watching when they see us
I wonder if they ever saw us
Seeing them lights flash
Would have you
Running like you forest
Too many mothers
Gotta go to a florists &
That's for funerals
Kids out here dying before us &
That’s unusual
But out here
They saying thats regular
More than usual
Crack era
Years later got em type delusional
It’s h*** on earth, my mobb deep
But that’s when s*** get hot
This world a melting pot
You either melt or you pop
F*** if they notice me
My flow has been dopest b
Playing in the cut
Staying right where
I’m supposed to be
Girls be all up on me
Like i’m jodeci
Fill em’ up with d
Like its dopamine
Me and dill been snapping
Like its poetry
All these n***** capping
Just be jokers b
I'm tryna stay focus
Cause we tryna push
The culture forward
Now they looking for us
Cause they know they cant ignore us
On the daily grind
Early morning sipping porridge
Tryna free my mind
Gotta put some thing’s in storage and
I’m running off a 64gb
I ain’t got that much space
For n***** to fit in my life
N***** say that i’m cheap
Make money when i am sleep
Pull up in a jeep
S*** be creeping real slow
Top notch secret
Yeah we keep it on the low and
Every where that we go
They know that we iso
Yeah me and the bro started
This s*** when we was broke
Stoked about the glow up
Lets show theses n***** the growth
They take this for a joke
We make hit’s and then we smoke
These n***** is fake woke
I rather sleep in my coat
Soak up game from og’s
Who really do know the most
These n***** doing the most
We say cheers and then we toast
Shoutout to the west coast
In cali they love ya boys
From ny we making noise
They don’t really gotta choice
Pull up in a rolls royce
Rolling deep with my boys
F*** a ski mask and a g**
I got mine the legal way
The legal way
It’s nothing else i need to say
Need to say
Either way they gon feel a way
Feel away
Y’all n***** been led astray
Led astray
Some n***** let the metal spray
Metal spray
I sat back like let us pray
Let us pray

Smoke my sins into this ashtray
Everyday

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to ISO INDIES's song "Isolation" speak to the experiences and struggles faced by the artist and their community. The song touches on themes of ambition, resilience, and the challenges of navigating a society that often overlooks and marginalizes them.

The opening lines suggest that the artist is halfway towards achieving success in the music industry, but they still encounter minor problems along the way. They emphasize that they are not seeking special treatment or favors, but rather are determined to succeed for themselves and their fathers, whose dreams were hindered by a system that tried to oppress them. Despite facing obstacles, they have persevered through the "shots and charges" and remain focused on relaying their message.

The lyrics also touch on the issues of envy, jealousy, and betrayal within their community. The artist observes how some individuals who haven't put in the work are quick to take advantage and demand a percentage of their success. They contrast this with their own journey of hard work, balancing schoolwork, and building a business from humble beginnings. They highlight their own success and refuse to be dragged down by those who don't understand or appreciate their dedication.

The song addresses the societal issues faced by marginalized communities, especially in regards to violence and the lack of support. The artist critiques how individuals in power claim to be helping but ultimately do very little to alleviate the struggles faced by their community. They juxtapose this lack of assistance with the quickness with which external forces target and exploit their community for profit.

Overall, "Isolation" is an empowering anthem that showcases the artist's determination to rise above adversity, take control of their own destiny, and push forward despite the challenges they face.
