Dope
J. Mundaca Lyrics

Yea
Starting the song with an affirmation

Thinkin bout it
Contemplating a decision

I'm thinkin of slingin dope
Considering selling drugs

What
Expressing confusion

What would you think of me
Seeking approval from someone else

What would you think of me if I start slingin dope
Asking for the opinion of others on a potentially risky decision

You don't know dat feeling being a man and being broke
Highlighting the pressure of financial responsibility on men

I been tryna get it but can't seem to make it grow
Expressing frustration with financial struggles

Y'all don't eat 2night, dey don't blame you, I get that low
Acknowledging how hunger can drive someone to make desperate choices

So what we bout to do, stare at each other or go score
Questioning what to do in the face of financial struggle

Dey say that its gettin better, I hear em but startin to think that its fabricated
Doubting promises of improvement in one's financial situation

I drink till im feeling better, n smoke a lil bit cause I'm aggravated
Using substances to cope with stress and find temporary relief

I'm smokin' deez cigarettes, and that aint my thing so u know that I'm agitated
Expressing discomfort with the coping mechanisms currently being used

Just gimmie a lick, couple of flips n I swear I'ma quit
Rationalizing a quick financial gain as a one-time event

I know that you thinkin it don't make no sense
Acknowledging the illogical nature of the decision to sell drugs

Thats how I feel when I'm countin my ends
Highlighting the inadequate income and the stress it causes

Drop a lil bit on the first for the rent
Prioritizing essential bills before any other expenses

End of the week, aint got nothin 2 spend, damn
Expressing frustration with the lack of disposable income

Just bend a few corners, I'll pitch out the window n not from the home, its
Planning the method of selling drugs in secret to avoid being caught

Only for the moment, I swear
Rationalizing the decision as a temporary solution to a financially-strained situation

Run it
Encouraging someone to take action or go ahead with a plan

I know this don't give you the right vibe
Acknowledging that the decision to sell drugs doesn't have a positive connotation

I know that you thinkin I'm losing myself, to be honest I'm thinkin you right bout it
Admitting that others are right to be concerned about the potential consequences

Losing myself to the pressure that hitting and sapping, and draining the life out me
Describing the negative impact of financial struggles on one's well-being

Look in my face, I'm losing weight, bae I aint str8 and I aint ate in a couple of days
Expressing physical and emotional distress

Nevertheless I'll be pushing weight
Committing to the decision to sell drugs despite the risks

No reason to wait, Its money out here and here to be made, yea
Justifying the decision to sell drugs as a way to make money quickly

I know that you worried about if I slip and I get me a case, look
Acknowledging the possibility of being caught by law enforcement

But baby I promise that when I get str8 that I'm outta the game
Making a promise to stop selling drugs when financial stability is achieved

Cause I been thinkin' bout some dope
Reiterating the focus of the song on the decision to sell drugs
