Yo
Easy
Ok straight in
My enemies leave faceless
Can’t slip can’t leave no traces
Put faith in the books like mace did
Found self on distant stages
Man can’t tell me about patience
Spent nights in the darkest places
Man can’t tell me about grind
Ten toes put holes in trainers
Can’t parlay with paigons
Old friends now distant strangers
Old money make new friends later
Long time since minimum wages
Long time since man has seen angels
Like wait where
Ok your bad now cool
Young boy move like man a old school
G’s I know said they don’t know you
So we roll through your ends like man a local like um
Ok your bad now cool
Go on then do a what a bad man do
I know G's that will test that gangster
Make man lean like criminal smooth like whoa
Mic to mouth cheque to cheque
And I still go city to city repping the set like whoa
Who got now I got next like don’t lack
You wanna slip l’m at necks like whoa
Still do the trouble with no stress
And I still got a couple of tenants that owe rent like whoa
Couple of seconds till mans vex and my bruddas
Wanna shot the breeze like air vents
We make this shit look normal normal
We make this shit look normal normal
I got a couple of scars that ain't normal
I know a couple bruddas that ain’t cordial
We make this shit look normal normal
We make this shit look normal normal
I got a couple of poems that ain't formal
But we just load the pen up and aim for you
We make this shit look normal normal

In Juls's song Normal, the artist talks about his personal experiences and struggles, which he and his close ones have been able to overcome to make them seem easy to everyone else. The lyrics indicate the challenges he faces on a daily basis, including dealing with enemies, being patient during tough times, and overcoming moments of hardships. The lines "Man can’t tell me about patience" and "Man can’t tell me about grind" suggest that Juls has gone through difficult times and emerged stronger, and nobody can advise him about what they are. Juls emphasizes his ability to face his fears and overcome them, as expressed in "My enemies leave faceless, Can’t slip can’t leave no traces".
The chorus "We make this shit look normal normal" is a reminder that their struggles may seem ordinary and normal to the people around them. Juls uses metaphors like "couple of scars that ain't normal" to describe the impact of his past experiences on him. Though the lyrics are delivered with a sense of confidence, the reference to "a couple of bruddas that ain’t cordial" reminds that not everyone in Juls's life is supportive of his success, and some of them may be envious of his accomplishments. Overall, the song instills a sense of motivation and leaves behind a reminder that no matter how tough the circumstances, everyone has their way of dealing with it and making it look ordinary.

@bigbrainbrad5784
I love Kojey, and Juls seems like a competent producer from his other tracks, but this beat is an empty immitation of Denzel Curry - Switch it Up (even if its not intentional)
