Beat Out One
Jamal Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Yea I'm a little different, I'm a bit out there, it's always been this way
Until that one day that everything had changed within a blink of an eye
I got a sun roof on my mind to let the light in
Let the serpent climb up my spine, now I'm enlightened
Decalcify third eye to get rid of the blindfold
Detoxify mind, body and watch my spirit unfold
I came into my power, guess it was destined
Journal the thoughts of my journey I manifested
My ego ran rampant, learned how to keep it tame
Always secluded from attention, I stray away from fame
I do my shadow work after dark night of the soul
Got lost in darkness and found light down a rabbit hole
Get high, I elevate and Meditate into a visceral state
Get how I translate the hate, such a miserable trait
I use it to motivate, fuel my fire till I retire
Keep the op locked in a paradox, bird on a wire
Yea I flew the coop, no turning back, that's history
Whoomp there it is, no longer is life a mystery
Yea I was ADHD in LD getting straight D's in my adolescence
I guess one day I just woke up when I figured out who god was
Pondering questions I always had, what made sense, what didn't make sense
I don't know, I questioned some shit and just kinda woke up
My mind is an open channel tuned to higher frequencies
Gave up smoking cold turkey, no longer desire tendencies
Put down the booze, I play to win, you snooze and you lose
I ran the rat race bare foot while you still learn how to tie your shoes
Grounded like a seven forty seven in a winter storm
My mic waves vibrate heat, enough to keep ya dinner warm
Tsunami of double entendre punch lines and parables
Ménage à trois with two Tauruses, a pair of bulls
Two dimes, just my luck, guess what, I couldn't pass up
They in the lions den, yea yea I tore they ass up
I just be ego trippin, high pedestal tunnel vision
Balance of light and darkness spark a collision
Sun gaze into a trans in the rain, a wet day dream
According to my mother, of course my thoughts stay clean
She know she raised an angel that know how to raise hell
The devil working overtime for my soul but he gone fail
Yea it's funny cuz I never had this ability to write until I woke up the next day
And I just had all these thoughts that kept flowing to mind
I just couldn't help my self but to write it down, didn't know where it was coming from
Felt like I was being used as a vessel to bring light
So I just kept writing, yea I couldn't stop
Felt I was compelled to tell a story
Things I couldn't even understand, I was just trying to learn, figure things out
But yea, now this is where it's all gotten me to this point




Still trying to figure it out
To be continued

Overall Meaning

In these lyrics, Jamal reflects on his journey of self-discovery and personal growth. He describes himself as being different and unconventional, always standing out from the crowd. However, everything changed suddenly and unexpectedly, and he found himself on a path of enlightenment.


Jamal symbolizes this transformation by referring to his mind as a "sun roof" that allows light to enter, and the metaphor of a serpent climbing up his spine represents the awakening of his consciousness. To further enhance his newfound awareness, he mentions decalcifying his third eye and detoxifying his mind and body. These acts lead him to tap into his power and serve as a manifestation of his destiny.


The artist highlights the importance of introspection and the pursuit of inner growth. References to shadow work, dark nights of the soul, and finding light down a rabbit hole suggest that Jamal has gone through personal struggles and challenges. By facing his own darkness, he has learned valuable lessons and discovered his true potential. This process has given him motivation and a sense of purpose, allowing him to transcend limitations and drive him forward until his eventual retirement.


Jamal admits to being labeled as ADHD and LD, referring to his school years of struggling academically. However, one day he had a revelation about his understanding of God and started questioning things.

With his words, he creates double entendres, punchlines, and parables that entertain and stir conversations. He also boasts about a memorable encounter with two women, describing it as a conquest that showcases his prowess.

He remains confident that the devil will fail in his efforts. Furthermore, he expresses gratitude for the ability to write and the inspiration that flows through him, understanding his role as a vessel for bringing light into the world.


Despite reaching this point in his journey, Jamal admits that he is still figuring things out and recognizes that his story is ongoing. He concludes the lyrics by inviting the listener to continue following along as he continues to learn and evolve.
