Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
thankin bout how ya'll niggas choke like da big game
gettin slapped like a BITCH it ain't no new thang
without dat cheese see I'm cakin em up shawty to cut fo fees
now big time celebrity can't you tell frum there
open yo heart to dis ho she light skinned wit good hair
got you caught up in emotions dat you can't replace
now you comin out yo pocket cause she givin you face
see she da type a bitch'll git you served at da club
pinnin pictures to get you all versace down
straight clown and den she waitin on some weddin vows
LAME NIGGA! you shoulda known dat she wouldn't shit
instead of spendin cheese you shoulda got dat bitch slick NOW!
chorus 2x
its all about survival do or die
it just ain't big enough for you and i
if i don't git you you'll git me
as soon as my feet bless the concrete

i know niggas didn't just finish runnin out of my home
i think its best fo dem to wait fo my hi to settle
because that's da best way they live through da day nigga!

wit a heart full of stone I'm wit whatever man hit yo boy tell me when its

The song "Bless The Concrete" by Jim Crow focuses on various themes ranging from survival, trust, and loyalty to deceit, betrayal, and theft. The first paragraph of the lyrics discusses how the singer is done worrying about people who choke in important moments, likely referring to his circle of friends. He mentions how some of these people are slapped around regularly, and that's not a new occurrence. In the next line, the singer states that he is making money, implying that he is doing better than his friends. He then brings up a big-time celebrity, whom he urges to look beyond the facade of a light-skinned woman with good hair, who is only manipulating him for his money. He comments on how this woman can't be replaced emotionally or financially, and how she has him spending a lot of money to maintain her false image. He concludes the paragraph by calling out the person for being foolish not to see through the woman's manipulations.
The second paragraph of the lyrics shifts focus to a robbery. The singer realizes that someone has robbed him and is furious that the safe in his home has an empty slot. He decides that he will go after the culprit and reminds himself to be ruthless to teach them a lesson. He suspects that one of his acquaintances knows who did it and decides to threaten him. The rest of the paragraph is about how the singer will track down the thief and bring him to justice, even if it means killing him.
Overall, the song is about the struggle for survival and the challenges and difficulties that people face. It is about being mindful of the people around you, not getting swayed by others' opinions and actions, and watching your back. It also speaks to the consequences of betrayal and loss of trust.
