Angel Dust
J-Love Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Had to cut down on the angel dust They wanna play, I said I'll win all the games you make
Because I remain untouched
Love is a maze, I'm stuck in the middle This shit getting hot like a motherfucking griddle
Don't break my heart cause it's getting too
Brittle
She watched me dying and she started to giggle
They calling me Kobe the way that I dribble
I'm going pro with the new double triples
Playing these hoes like a motherfucking fiddle
They wanted my name just to see the initials
Up in first grade man, I used to scribble
Glocky shoot shoot, that's an early dismissal
Blu-J4Y the kid, the man, the myth
They used to say I'd never make it
Now all they say is congratulations
Stressing me out, I'ma need medication
Find some need to find some
Before I lie about being fine I run where I come from
Maybe to some this is right I sit in denial sometimes
I know that it's not right I try to hide from the darkness
When it's way too much to share No I cannot see in the dark
But I know that something's there The snakes see me, I'm visible to them
And it's not fair All this fear is surrounding me
And I'm completely unaware
Stuck in my ways, I feel stuck in my ways I had to cry down an angel dive
The first few lines of the song explain the artist's feeling of being trapped and set in their own ways. They acknowledge that they have made mistakes by using "angel dust" (a nickname for the drug PCP) in the past but have now decided to cut down on it. The artist confidently proclaims that they will win any challenges or games presented to them because they remain untouched by their past struggles.
The next set of lyrics delve into the artist's experience with love. They compare love to a maze, signifying the confusion and uncertainty they feel in their romantic relationships. The artist remarks on the intense nature of their current situation, describing it as getting hot like a griddle. They plea for their heart not to be broken as it is becoming fragile or "brittle". The mention of someone watching them suffer and laughing (giggling) suggests that the artist may have been betrayed or ridiculed by a significant other.
The lyrics then shift focus to the artist's rise to fame and success. They mention the new record label NGM (New Generation Music) becoming official, indicating a significant step in their career. The artist criticizes other people in the industry, calling them out for being fake or artificial. They liken their own skill in handling women to that of the legendary basketball player Kobe Bryant, comparing their ability to navigate romantic encounters to Kobe's dribbling prowess. The mention of going pro with "new double triples" suggests that they are excelling and surpassing expectations.
Continuing with the theme of relationships, the artist describes playing women like a fiddle, manipulating them for their own benefit. People sought their attention and the artist's initials, highlighting the attention and desire they receive from others. They reflect on their childhood, mentioning scribbling in first grade, perhaps referring to their early creativity or aspirations. The lyrics take a darker turn as they mention Glocky shooting, which could refer to a gun or violence, leading to an early dismissal (being expelled or leaving school).
The final part of the song addresses the artist's struggle with their mental state. They go by the name "Blu-J4Y," and people used to doubt their success, but now they only hear congratulations. The stress they endure prompts them to seek medication or relief. The artist longs to find something they need before resorting to lying about their well-being. They acknowledge that hiding from darkness and denying their problems is not right, emphasizing their desire to confront and overcome their fears. The artist feels surrounded by fear but remains oblivious to its presence, showing their vulnerability and lack of awareness.

Stuck in my ways, I said I'm stuck in my ways
I'm set in my habits and resistant to change
Had to cut down on the angel dust
I had to reduce my dependency on drugs
They wanna play, I said I'll win all the games you make
Others try to challenge me, but I'll always come out victorious
Because I remain untouched
I am unaffected and invincible
Love is a maze, I'm stuck in the middle
Love is confusing and I feel trapped in it
This shit getting hot like a motherfucking griddle
This situation is intensifying and becoming dangerous
Don't break my heart cause it's getting too brittle
Please don't hurt me because I'm emotionally fragile
She watched me dying and she started to giggle
She observed my pain and found amusement in it
New NGM is becoming official
A new movement or group is gaining credibility
These bitches keep faking they seem artificial
These women are pretending and come across as fake
They calling me Kobe the way that I dribble
They compare my basketball skills to that of Kobe Bryant
I'm going pro with the new double triples
I'm excelling and achieving great success
Playing these hoes like a motherfucking fiddle
I manipulate and control these women easily
They wanted my name just to see the initials
They were only interested in me for my fame or status
Up in first grade man, I used to scribble
Even as a child, I displayed creative expression
Glocky shoot shoot, that's an early dismissal
Using a gun to intimidate and dismiss my enemies
Blu-J4Y the kid, the man, the myth
I am a mysterious figure, known by multiple identities
They used to say I'd never make it
People doubted my potential and predicted my failure
Now all they say is congratulations
Now they acknowledge and celebrate my success
Stressing me out, I'ma need medication
I'm feeling overwhelmed and require medication to cope
Find some need to find some
I need to discover something essential
Before I lie about being fine I run where I come from
Rather than pretending to be okay, I return to my roots
Maybe to some this is right I sit in denial sometimes
Perhaps some people believe this is the correct path, but I occasionally deny it
I know that it's not right I try to hide from the darkness
I am aware that it's wrong, yet I attempt to avoid the negative aspects
When it's way too much to share
When the burden becomes too heavy to disclose
No I cannot see in the dark
I am unable to perceive things clearly in difficult situations
But I know that something's there
However, I sense the presence of something
The snakes see me, I'm visible to them
The deceivers and manipulators notice me easily
And it's not fair
It's unjust and unfavorable
All this fear is surrounding me
I am overwhelmed by fear from all directions
And I'm completely unaware
Yet, I remain oblivious to it all
Stuck in my ways, I feel stuck in my ways
I'm trapped in my own patterns and behavior
I had to cry down an angel dive
I had to confront and overcome a dangerous or destructive habit
