I and Others Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Understand If you run up on me, choppa, it go blam
Understand that I run my city, nigga this my land,
Understand I'm that young hot nigga, somebody cut on the fan
She get to clappin', she get to twerkin'
They all want a bag, but I don't see nobody workin'
She ain't know my name, I pulled out bands, she started flirtin'
I pull off in my whip, can't see inside I closed the curtains
Ain't nobody hot as me and ain't nobody seein' me
I'm that nigga different in the game like it's hockey
I'm that nigga ridin' all these beats like a jockey
Tell me who you think you is, cause bitch you ain't nobody
I'm that nigga smellin' like some loud in the lobby
I'm that nigga like, huh, come try me
I'm that nigga like, fah, fah, that's a body
I know I'm the one, so I keep hoes by the two
Everybody fuck with me, they love when I slide through
Backwoods to the face, got me higher than the moon
I was at the bottom, now I'm reachin' forthe moon
She said, Daddy, you be steppin' hard, baby I got big feet
I can't fuck with niggas, they be tellin they got pig feet
I was at the bottom, now I'm up like I grew ten feet
She claim she a freak, well, baby girl, you gotta show me
Nah you gotta show me for real though, Y'all be talking a lot
But you know who I am though baby
I know you know who I am
See I'm the man, they know who I am lowkey they be fans
Understand If you run up on me, choppa, it go blam
Understand that I run my city, nigga this my land,
Understand I'm that young hot nigga, somebody cut on the fan
See I'm the man, they know who I am lowkey they be fans
Understand If you run up on me, choppa, it go blam
Understand that I run my city, nigga this my land,
Understand I'm that young hot nigga, somebody cut on the fan

The mind is a mirror reflecting and projecting itself into the world. As we are, the world becomes
@amicklich6729
God in miniature. The root of the problem is eliminating negative thought patterns which have been with ourselves for years. Some argue genetically from birth. I see this as a spiritual intertwining with the physical. Even at a genetic level (ancestry) I believe in this spiritual influence. From there it's pure work to discover how to break out. Those who do that on that level-- I believe are powerful, powerful souls. A powerful soul is not defined by accomplishments in the physical realm, but in the case of the experimental intellectual animal - the human being - it is the final understanding of the animal aspect within the human, reconciling the intellectual and loving side. I see that as Divine truth.

Ancient, ancient spirits/personalities influence us all daily. It's a matter of how truly magnificent we choose to become in our environment and circumstance to understand their influence. I do not believe this power is unavailable in any point of history for any human being through all of time if the mind functions. AND, we can't be the judge of a human soul/mind of any living being while we're outside looking in.
