MOSTACK Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Yeah that's my gutter
In my bed with a bad B
But thou shall never trust her
We can break some bread though
You can break my bed hoe
Try ask for head, no
I turn this to a passa
Chilling, we the baddest
Yeah we the baddest
We some drillers like mechanics
No, now don't panic now
We just got these weapons for protection
I show the money love and affection
Menace, that's my savage
Confiscate ya 10 pound
He wants to rob the rappers
But he can't, they're my friends now
Left home sober, came home mashup
Told my ex that it's over
What's she talking bout, "catchup?"
My bruddas got the knife outside
And he'll use it
Don't come if he says "come outside"
Cause that's stupid
Linkup with my bro
And now we're posted on high road
We hit the back roads if its 5-0

Yeah that's my gutter
In my bed with a bad B
But thou shall never trust her
We can break some bread though
You can break my bed hoe
Try ask for head, no
I turn this to a passa
Thou shall never trust her
Always wear a rubber
Thou shall never ever choose a hoe against your brother
Thou shall never do
But if you do, you're a sucker
Suck your mother
I told them man hush up
Told them that bare time
I left my manners in the place I left my hair line
High Street Kid
Baby girl, I'm a rare type
I only see my boo-boo in my spare time
I know ya here right

But thou shall never trust her
We can break some bread though

The song "High Street Kid" by MOSTACK is a gritty and intense ode to the streets that formed him. The lyrics describe the experiences of a young man who is deeply rooted in the culture and life of his neighbourhood. The singer talks about being in his element on the high street, where he is at home and able to navigate the challenges of his environment. He is clearly from a dangerous place, where weapons and violence are a reality, but he looks at his weapons as tools of protection more than anything else.
Throughout the song, the singer draws a sharp contrast between the loyalty of brotherhood and the disloyalty of women, emphasizing the importance of staying true to one's friends and never trusting a woman. He also speaks about the struggles and experiences of a man who is deeply rooted in the street culture, and who has to navigate the challenges of that world. However, there is a note of pride and defiance throughout the song as the singer emphasizes the power and strength of his community.
Overall, the song is a powerful testament to the experiences of young men growing up in difficult neighbourhoods, and the need to navigate a complex and dangerous world that is both alien and yet deeply familiar.
