Confinement
M.F.A.G.C.O.Q.D. Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
In my mind I wrote down my assignments
I knew everyday I just had to pray
To keep the negative energies away
They put me in a Anti-Suicide Smock
They must have thought that my mind was just gonna rot
Well I don't have suicidal thoughts
I'm too strong in this bitch but they never thought
I'm standing strong on my feet in this jail cell
Every hour that goes by I'm getting stronger now
I feel the depth of my spirit getting deeper now
Hearing the dead messages coming from the walls
Questioning me about survival through the walls
I tell them everything is great and my spirit high
Ruminating everyday until my spirit fly
The WiZdom G.O.A.T can make it smoke in this atmosphere
And in this smoke I made Malcom X reappear '
He stated young man go for your dreams
Protect your soul and don't let the devil intervene
Always stay close to your family
Read up to benefit financially
So I got curious and I asked
What was a book that stood out on your great path
W. E. B. DuBois uttered out his mouth
I asked was that the Doctor that went to the South
Yes that was him WiZdom G.O.A.T
He wrote a book called The Souls of Black Folk
After that Malcolm vanished and the smoke cleared
I sat on a steel bed just to rub my beard
I started thinking about my freedom and that conversation
And when they said Lincoln issued that proclamation
Confinement can't make me or break me
I don't let the negativity take me
These fucking walls can't make me or break me
I'm The WiZdom G.O.A.T prepare for your safety
Levitating in the middle of this jail cell
praying up to the greats so I excel
I'm gonna vanish out this jail cell and prevail

Line by Line Meaning
From the day I began my confinement
Since my imprisonment started
In my mind I wrote down my assignments
I kept track of tasks mentally
I knew everyday I just had to pray
I understood the importance of daily prayer
To keep the negative energies away
To protect against harmful energy
They put me in a Anti-Suicide Smock
A restraint worn for suicide prevention
They must have thought that my mind was just gonna rot
They assumed I would fall into despair
Well I don't have suicidal thoughts
I am not prone to self-harm
I'm too strong in this bitch but they never thought
My willpower was underestimated
That I would prevail in this jail cell
I will overcome my imprisonment
I'm standing strong on my feet in this jail cell
I am resilient in my confinement
Every hour that goes by I'm getting stronger now
I am growing stronger with each passing moment
I feel the depth of my spirit getting deeper now
My spirituality is expanding
Hearing the dead messages coming from the walls
Receiving eerie messages from the surroundings
Questioning me about survival through the walls
Wondering if I will endure my sentence
I tell them everything is great and my spirit high
I project positivity despite my situation
Ruminating everyday until my spirit fly
Reflecting deeply to elevate my soul
The WiZdom G.O.A.T can make it smoke in this atmosphere
My wisdom can manifest in this setting
And in this smoke I made Malcom X reappear '
Creating a hallucination of Malcolm X
He stated young man go for your dreams
Encouragement to pursue aspirations
Protect your soul and don't let the devil intervene
Advice to safeguard spiritual wellbeing
Always stay close to your family
Maintain strong bonds with loved ones
Read up to benefit financially
Educate oneself to improve finances
So I got curious and I asked
I became intrigued and inquired
What was a book that stood out on your great path
Which text influenced your life significantly
W. E. B. DuBois uttered out his mouth
A reference to the famous scholar
I asked was that the Doctor that went to the South
Seeking clarification on his identity
Yes that was him WiZdom G.O.A.T
Affirmation that it was indeed Dubois
He wrote a book called The Souls of Black Folk
Naming a seminal work by DuBois
After that Malcolm vanished and the smoke cleared
The hallucination of Malcolm X dissipated
I sat on a steel bed just to rub my beard
Relaxing on a minimalistic bed
I started thinking about my freedom and that conversation
Reflecting on the discussion of liberation
And when they said Lincoln issued that proclamation
Referencing the Emancipation Proclamation
Confinement can't make me or break me
My imprisonment won't define me
I don't let the negativity take me
I refuse to succumb to pessimism
These fucking walls can't make me or break me
My surroundings won't defeat me
I'm The WiZdom G.O.A.T prepare for your safety
I am a person of exceptional intellect
Levitating in the middle of this jail cell
Floating inside my confinement
praying up to the greats so I excel
Communing with revered individuals to improve myself
I'm gonna vanish out this jail cell and prevail
I will emerge from my imprisonment triumphantly

@DCimmerian
Legitimate question: Should I make more videos like this that cover creators who've left the SCP Community or nah?
@fuge74
I would only as relevant, if they are like bung, "gone and never returning," then yes. if they are causing problems like those Russians, yes. if they are just on hiatus with some controversy, I would leave it alone.
@BlindfoldedCowboy
Yes, but I would say you should cover channels that are dead already as well but were popular once and then forgotten, though I can't name many at the top of my head except for maybe NewScapePro but that's self explanitory why he abandoned his scp channel
@the123joker
@@fuge74 I would of ask for a video about the guy that made 'the RPC authority' after I saw his tweet about bringing back the old and non-political of the SCP foundation
But you're right
@AnimeShinigami13
just in case the likes aren't enough to show I'm in favor.
@bartamis
Just make sure you dot get too close to doxxing or accidentally making this a SCP Tea channel. I may be out of the loop but did gears end up getting the procedure?
