Talkin'
Intec Jimpy feat Sarah Lyrics

The lyrics of “Talkin'” by Intec Jimpy feat. Sarah are a reflection of the struggles of an individual with mental health issues. The opening lines, “Skippin' cracks in the sidewalk, Kickin' cracks in my head,” suggest a sense of troubled inner thoughts that the individual tries to overcome by focusing on their external surroundings. They remain confined within their own block and house, implied in the lines, “Keep on stickin' to my block, So I stay shut up in my house.” The reference to the “bones in my backyard,” points towards a troubled past that the individual has been unable to move on from.

The lyrics continue with references to drug use, coughs, and “bad shit goin' down on the border,” implying a sense of paranoia and trauma. The repetition of “Talkin’ to myself about it, I didn't mean to go on about it,” seems to be the individual trying to make sense of their thoughts and if they are not making sense to them, apologizing to themselves for not being able to control the thoughts. The line “Bad brain don't ever turn off” is a powerful admission of the difficulties in silencing the mind when one is struggling with mental health.

Overall, the lyrics are poignant and ring true for those who have experienced similar struggles. It is a powerful reminder of how mental health issues can impact an individual's everyday life.
