Christ Concious
Joey Bada$$ Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Keep that grip tight, like my Smith & Wesson
Ike with the mic, which nigga tryna turn up?
Hit you with the hurtful fuckin' truth like Sojourner
Mothafuckin' microphone eater
Spittin' hot shit, hit your dome with the heater
Wouldn't want to be ya, this lyrical fajitas
Got dragon balls like my name was Vegeta
Niggas still hating, pigs want him for the bacon
Take 'em to the slaughterhouse, say we 'bout to order out
Tell 'em we the badass motherfuckers that they heard about
Yes, I guess the word is out, we coming for the top dollar
Top rottweiler, since I popped my collar
Niggas say they hit us, they ain't ever shot nada
Me? I'd rather not snitch up on my own problems
'Cause I'm a microphone killer
Especially when my head is gone off the liquor
Specially educated, heavily medicated
Give me that beat and I'll put you next to Dilla, my nigga
Flow sweeter than vanilla
Tell these haters beat it, can't Jackson thriller
I'm the nigga that you see when you're in the mirror
Say my name five times, this what I deliver
This a mothafuckin' nuke that I'm droppin'
The world in my pocket, kick you out your continent
Always drop hot shit, Toroidal Flow be constant
And I won't stop 'til I reach Christ conscious, nigga
Which one of y'all niggas really want it with me?
None of y'all niggas, fuck outta here
Beast coast, nigga, Pro Era in your area
This a mothafuckin' nuke that I'm droppin'
The world in my pocket, kick you out your continent
Always drop hot shit, Toroidal Flow be constant
And I won't stop 'til I reach Christ conscious, nigga
(Nigga) Niggas know, niggas, niggas, niggas know
In Joey Bada$$'s song "Christ Conscious," he starts off by boasting about his skills on the microphone and comparing his grip on the mic to that of his Smith & Wesson gun. He then raps about being able to deliver the harsh truth like Sojourner Truth, an African American abolitionist and women's rights activist. He brags about having lyrical skills that others can't match, comparing himself to Vegeta from the anime Dragon Ball Z. He also takes shots at those who hate him and the police who want to arrest him, saying they're just trying to bring him down. He asserts that he's a microphone killer, especially when intoxicated, and can produce beats on par with Dilla. Finally, he proclaims his desire to reach "Christ Consciousness" and become enlightened.
