Whispers
Medhane Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Whispers in the walls say enough
Days in the mud stress play wit the trust
In a rut, swear the rain made a flood
Too numb, couldn't say what it was
With the same ones
Treat them like we got the same blood
Smoke spliffs till the day done
Moving thru time, see these niggas lyin
Type to stab you in ya spine
But i still shine
Running circles in my mind
Tryna get me for my time
Swear i know what's mine
In a bind, reflecting on severed ties
Feeling fine puttin Ls in the sky
It's a long ride
You know what I mean?
You uh- you don't gotta try and keep up with nobody bro
That's for damn sure
You don't gotta keep up with none of these niggas
You just can't stop, you feel me?
You wanna keep yourself around things and people that's- you know they ain't gon' let you stop running but, you know-
They recognize that
They know that you know
Can't nobody finish no races for you
And if you collapse on the track, niggas ain't gon' stop and pick your ass up neither
So word
Go at your own pace
In Medhane's song "Whispers", the artist reflects on the stress and mistrust that comes with trying to make it in life, particularly in a low-income community. The lyrics paint a picture of someone who is struggling to stay afloat and who is surrounded by others who are constantly scheming to get ahead. The chorus, "Whispers in the walls say enough," suggests that there is a lot of secretive and insidious behavior taking place, perhaps even within the singer's own community.
The line "Too numb, couldn't say what it was" speaks to the idea that the singer is so overwhelmed by the weight of their struggles that they can't even begin to articulate them. The reference to smoking spliffs and plotting to get the cake up speaks to the ways in which people in these types of communities often turn to drugs and crime in order to survive. The lines "Running circles in my mind / Tryna get me for my time / Swear I know what's mine" suggests that the singer is trying their best to stay focused on their goals, even as others try to sabotage them.
In the spoken word section at the end of the song, Medhane encourages listeners to stay true to themselves and not get caught up in trying to keep up with others. He emphasizes the importance of surrounding oneself with supportive people who will push you to succeed but who also recognize that ultimately, success is something that you have to achieve on your own.
