Mayday
Kings & Dreams Lyrics

This fat ass blunt
Starting this song by acknowledging the usage of marijuana, relaxing and freeing oneself to reflect and dwell on past memories.

Staring at the ceiling when it's late night
Taking solitary time to just think and recollect without any external interpretations.

Got me reminiscing bout the old days
Getting nostalgic about the good old days and remembering a time when everything was just great.

When I ain't have a worry only great times
Recalling a past where worries were not given emphasis, only simple pleasures and happy times.

Now I'm pouring henny in the OJ
A coping mechanism for the present adulthood and struggles, which sometimes includes a drink on hands.

Someone said they heard it through the grape vine
Being aware of a rumor or gossip about one's actions or personality.

That I been acting different and that's okay
Acknowledging that people see a evolution or change in themselves, and understanding that it is not necessarily bad.

Cause I'm tryna learn from my mistakes I
Committing to change by not repeating past mistakes and striving for growth.

Been dodging all the bullshit nigga olay
Steering clear of negative energy, and passing on unnecessary drama.

Silence on the nine just to keep it low
Maintaining silence and keeping things private to conceal one's affairs from public view.

And I got the silence on the telephone
Ensuring privacy and avoiding outside influence or pressure from peers or others.

Distant just incase a nigga need to go
Creating emotional distance when needed, as a form of self-preservation.

I can disappear and no one tell I'm gone
Being self-reliant and possessing the freedom to come and go unnoticed.

Everybody heatin up don't need a kole
Acknowledging other people's success while also feeling good with one's life as well, and not comparing or competing with others.

Happy for em cheering nigga bring it on
Celebrating the success of one's friends and allies and wishing them all the best.

All my niggas eating every single soul
Glad that all of one's friends and allies are prospering and enjoying the success of their hard work.

And I'm just smoking woods until the tree is gone
Continuing to seek solace in quiet moments for deep reflection or personal pleasure.

Been reading old messages scrolling
Looking back at old conversations and reminiscing about the past, and sometimes feeling down about present circumstances.

Gettin mad knocking shit down bowling
Feeling frustrated and angry, to the point of wanting to lash out or be irrational.

Like why would you say that
Questioning the motive or reasons behind someone's actions or words.

What was you thinking
Consistently wondering what goes on in someone's head when they act insensitively, or say something hurtful.

My stomach all sick i'm throwing
Experiencing physical pain and mental anguish, from worrying too much.

Cause how I feel I can't even explain
Feeling complex emotions, that are hard to process, understand or articulate.

Tryna be real with you now but I think I'm too late
Attempting to be truthful and accountable for one's errors, but not getting the chance to be honest.

So the henny been easing my pain
Alcohol being a means of temporary escape and relief from negative emotions, that is not meant to be a permanent solution.

I'm tryna talk to you get no response
Attempting to communicate with someone, without any success or feedback.

Or just get left on read got me going insane
Feeling upset and frustrated enough to level-up to the brinks of insanity itself, only to be ignored or downplayed.

I understand because time after time
Comprehending that one's actions could make a person avoid communication or association.

I was playing and playing you like you a game
Admitting to treating someone like a game, when they deserved respect or love.

One conversation we had made me open my eyes
Becoming enlightened and realizing one's faults and shortcomings, through a single conversation.

And realize I was being a lame
Realizing that one was being foolish or acting idiotic, towards a person who deserved better.

I know I look goofy so lemme stop pouring my heart out
Acknowledging being vulnerable and revealing one's thoughts or emotions, but self-conscious about it.

Just so they can laugh at my pain
Conceding that someone else's amusement over another's pain, is not worth risking vulnerability.

She is a dangerous woman
Describing a woman who has the ability to harm and wound others.

Her heart is grande
Suggesting that a woman's capacity for love might be greater than most people.

Niggas come at her she cut like a barber
Implying that someone who might upset this woman, will be dealt with swiftly and decisively.

Tiki no Ronde
A phrase of encouragement, which means to fight harder or push stronger. Often used in Haitian culture when someone needs to step up.

Walk through the fire with you then go down
Having someone's back, even in the most perilous of situations.

Escape from pompeii
A reference to the event where the volcano mount Vesuvius erupted and destroyed the city of Pompeii. A metaphor for overcoming great obstacles.

Girl you a queen wanna hand you this crown
Giving respect and love to someone who deserves it, who is of high value and worth.

But I think you done found a man
Acknowledging that a woman has already found a partner, and choosing not to pursue further.
