PIGEONFEET
Mike Lyrics

Death always win the race, nigga, depression isn't just a phase
The inevitability of death is a constant source of anxiety, and depression is not something that can simply be brushed aside as a temporary feeling.

It's hard to dub the L when it's all up in your face
Accepting a loss when it is right in front of you is difficult and unpleasant.

Cough up in the race, caught up in the place, getting lost in these days, harder to place
Life can feel like a race that you are struggling to keep up with, causing you to feel disoriented and unsure of your direction.

So I'm hard with the games and the stars hold my faith, Father God and my name, y'all niggas calm and insane
Despite the challenges of life, the artist remains steadfast and faithful to their beliefs.

Watch his jaw get broken like a vase when it drop, Papa think I curse too much, but y'all niggas think it's hot
Violence and aggression can have serious consequences, but some people find it entertaining or exciting.

Waiting at the edge, wobble on a rock, it's getting to my head, here's a bottle of Ciroc
Feeling uncertain and overwhelmed can drive one to seek escape in alcohol or other substances.

Always on the pavement, never with the flock, running 'til that gun pop, headed for the two like a jump shot
The singer feels like an outsider, always on their own path and trying to make progress. This path is not without danger and risk.

Skin hard, it's like the car, walking through the desert, we was searching for a god, small from afar
The artist has grown accustomed to enduring tough circumstances and feels as though they are walking through a barren wasteland in search of meaning or purpose.

Big when you come close, kinda like a star, hit like Mutombo headed for the ball
What seems small or insignificant from a distance can have a big impact up close, like a star or an imposing sports player.

You never seen the city rise, crumble into tar, you never seen the city lift up beneath the car
The city has its ups and downs, sometimes literally and sometimes figuratively, and these changes can be unexpected.

Had to use the bathroom, so we treaded to the mall, can't tell my momma, so forget she ever called, nigga
Even mundane tasks like going to the bathroom can be difficult when one is struggling to navigate difficult circumstances. The singer feels unsupported and hesitant to share their struggles with their loved ones.

Never with some soft niggas, live by the dark side, next to Wycoff, nigga, Schwig was a hard time, beginning of a loss, nigga
The artist refuses to associate with those they view as weak and instead embraces a darker way of living. Their surroundings have been challenging and have marked a turning point towards hardship and disappointment.

Stuck up in that school, couple niggas tryna brawl with us, I ain't even gangster but my boy letting off triggers
The singer finds themselves in a tense and dangerous situation at school, which may be due to association with people who are more violent or impulsive.

He could lose it all, bro, he don't see a tall picture, he can see his door close, nigga should've thought bigger
The singer's friend is taking major risks and may suffer severe consequences as a result. The singer wishes their friend had been more strategic or thoughtful in their approach to life.

Niggas want war with me, oh really? Nah, by now would be normally done, but I'm on
Despite the challenges they face and the threats they receive, the singer remains undaunted and determined to persevere.
