Confidence
N'fa Jones Lyrics

Spinning in the well, that be so intense
We are in a difficult and intense situation that feels like we are spinning around in a well.

While only by a thread we hang on suspense
Our situation is precarious, and we are hanging on by a thread, waiting for something to happen.

But it can all erupt so immense
Our situation can suddenly become very explosive and overwhelming.

Yeah, but the fly's in the gut, what's next?
We are feeling a sense of anticipation and anxiety about what will happen next.

We keep the energy free, not dense
We try to maintain a light and positive energy, instead of getting bogged down by negativity.

Diplomatic but we don't slip on the fence
We try to remain neutral and diplomatic in our approach, but we don't want to be wishy-washy or indecisive.

I speak in prose and not no past tense
I communicate clearly and directly, without any ambiguity or reference to the past.

Did you thought to ask what the fuck's this ish?
Have you ever stopped to question what is going on?

Did we erupt and we call up a fist?
Have we ever erupted in anger and resorted to physical violence?

You want an uppercut you pocket up a French kiss
If you want to fight, you might as well kiss your opponent instead.

Disrespect your whole set and dismiss
If you disrespect our group, we will dismiss you entirely.

Liquid lady luck and they strut like this
Some people seem to have good luck and confidence, allowing them to strut their stuff.

We don't care much, someone try switch
We don't really care about minor annoyances, but if someone tries to switch things up, we will react.

Some get rough, some cry like a bitch
Some people respond to challenges with toughness, while others cry and complain.

When the truth hits, there's no pretend or defense
When the truth is revealed, there is no way to pretend or defend against it.

We all just need a little more confidence
Ultimately, what we all need is more confidence in ourselves and our abilities.

Got me in a chokehold
We feel trapped and suffocated in our current situation.

You gotta let me go
We need some freedom and release from the chokehold.

Hey, if they got you in chokehold
If someone else has you in a chokehold, you need to break free.

The wicked always try to strike the innocent
Bad people often try to harm those who are innocent and vulnerable.

'Cause the wicked always live life in regret
These bad people live with regret and guilt, which causes them to lash out at others.

Do you have a solid mind or a mind like cement?
Do you have a strong and resilient mind, or is your mind rigid and unyielding?

Can you find your way through the bribes and the bets?
Can you navigate through the deceitful and corrupt elements of society?

The stakes is high like Dayla so said
The stakes are extremely high, as Dayla has said before.

I'm sorry now sniper, hip hop's not dead
I apologize to those who say that hip hop is dead, but it is actually alive and well.

Mind you, I know that's not what you meant
I understand that you didn't actually mean that hip hop is dead.

But it's the golden years which we lament
We miss the golden years of hip hop, when it was at its peak.

Some stray straight, some stay bent
Some people stay true to themselves and their beliefs, while others compromise and alter their values.

Some move with motion, some piss in the wind
Some people are proactive and make progress, while others are stubborn and refuse to adapt.

Some detonate and devastate and then debate to aggregate
Some people cause destruction and chaos, but then try to come up with solutions to fix the problem.

To congregate and infiltrate the interstate
They try to gather together and spread their influence across the entire country.

Fabricate divine grate, higher place to go regard the tape
They try to create something great and divine, and aspire to a higher level of success and achievement.

When we meditate we stay free of hate
When we take time to reflect and meditate, we can let go of our negative emotions and feelings towards others.

Hey, it's no coincidence we feel they opulence
It's not a coincidence that we are surrounded by people who are wealthy and successful.

I see them seeds, I see them grow
I can see the seeds of change and growth happening around me.

There I go, there I go
I am a part of this process of change and growth.

I see them weeds, they chokehold
I also see obstacles and challenges that threaten to hold us back.

Where they go, where they go
We are unsure where these obstacles will take us.
