Birmingham Freestyle
Noah Carter Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Every weekend it's like a phase to me
You talk during the week there wasn′t saying face-to-face to me
It's not like I care
They still gassed
I urge 'em to drive slow
Free smoke with something hot in the air
We are a collective of thinkers
McCoy got me blackin′
Couch Dreams on the way
I feel like I need 20 chains
I can't pardon my ways
I′m not sure if I'm changing or if I′m changing my ways
Need conversations with moms
'Cause last year wasn′t easy for me
She bring out my light
She was there when the city saw it
I-it won't work baby, we did that, yeah
Rough patches to past years
But came back, 17 of absence
Lost track of what matter, but tell Harlem all cash on
Black seven-teen in the casino with some tings, sippin' drinks
Same colour, miss cherry red Beamer
[?] siding sideways
Star city amnesia
Nothing roundabouts to traphouses
We touched down so I might as well rap ′bout it
Soon twenty-four, 20 of floor with the view
Bedroom for the visuals and it′s just like we imagined
Mix the magnum with the soda
Sippin' on Jamaican, eating yard food
[?] rollin′ in, shouts out to court too
Flow of the century like I'm [?]
Jheeze
Clout already gone I thought bought two, jheeze
Black on black, Secret Empire cover my top
Back to back, G wagons when we in New York
Benny told me wise up, tshh
Say nothing my dawg
Still of the henny, you no like that
Sexy nigga, shit I can′t pree
Where my eyes at?
Still bad Bs on me daily
What my life like
Watch them if they keep a dodgy gaze
Where your eyes at?
Shady niggas in our section wanna eavesdrop and so game
It's a shame to see the admiration really come from fear
Then they talk about it being my year
I feel you say to say it
And you say it to say it
You will feel it once you′ve seen it clear
If your vibe is off I won't keep you near
Shit
They got me rappin' like Semih here
To tell the truth he one of the few that really care, yeah
Still one-ten on my ten toes
In the summer, should have did the Timbs ′cause it′s still cold
Arsenal on my trackies, huh
I'm in some runners tho
Heat like Miami, they′re some different gunners
Look
I used to run Man City like Mancini
Runnin' with the mask got me years like my man Biggie
And I′m still in the field like grass really
Where you can get killed for the cash quickly
Look
You're going (to) heel like Achilles
Last receipt threw you like the 5-50-glass ceiling
Feel me
Wild pree, ′ow you mean? 'Ow you mean?
Came up living door-to-door with every member of my team
The gas is so real, it's a movie every evening
Told Uzi, "pray for me" ′cause these days are really needed
I′ve been slippin' on my deen
Keep dealin′ to the fiends
I've been drinking like a teen lately, yeah
And all I see is money in dreams lately
Look
Bro, you gassed, you ain′t yard
You and your dawgs lookin' like some girly queens lately
I′m tryna put plex on my wall
Went from racks on my drawers to stacks on my card
I can tell you 'bout that swipe life
Macbook in jail, I can tell you 'bout that Skype life
I′m trynna do the track "Wise Up"
Listening to Timber while I roll another L
Inhale, Exhale
I see you move dodgy
And I don′t want no parts of that
I'm chillin′ all nodgic
Gettin' spins like laundromat
Roll me up the super
Pour me up some future
Then I swerve up in the Uber
All you niggas doofus
All you niggas goofy
Long clip that′s a movie, huh
All she want is "Do You", huh
Shout out my producer, huh
Boy I'm on a wave
I give a fuck ′bout what they say
And I tell it to their face
I'm tryna spend a couple band on fuckry
I'm tryna up my money, put my moms onto this luxury
This some real shit, I can′t pree that
Can′t pretend, it's for real
Don′t tell P that, imma be there when you need that
Not on some "see you" when I see you, best believe that
And if you don't believe me, just watch
I dead ops if it′s war, Redd Foxx
I got your back like dreadlocks
Shorty say my rappin' make the thugs come down all the way from up top
To where they shootin′ downtown
Pour another one, I need the [?]
Only thing I'm focused on is working hard and staying blessed
All you niggas busters
Do not to be trusted
I'm the youngest nigga rappin′ so you better up the budget
B.O.C. mafia that home court advantage
Been stopped at a weight gain and still doing damage
Ray Allen with the step back in the water
Five, I′m going for the three if I want to
Steady at the buzzer like they ordered
Shorty tried to escape, but I caught her like my last name
I'm just getting started
But I′m really past fame, niggas ain't got no game
All they do is argue ′bout who get my jersey post-game
Jheeze

Line by Line Meaning
Not knowing where to begin is not a feeling that's rare
Feeling lost and unsure of how to start is a common experience
Every weekend it's like a phase to me
Weekends feel repetitive and fleeting
You talk during the week there wasn't saying face-to-face to me
Our conversations during the week lacked genuine connection
It's not like I care
I don't really care about it
They still gassed
They still hype up the situation
I urge 'em to drive slow
I encourage them to take their time
Free smoke with something hot in the air
There's a sense of tension and conflict in the atmosphere
We are a collective of thinkers
We are a group of people who value intellectual pursuits
At this point it's just waves
Things are constantly changing and evolving
McCoy got me blackin'
I'm feeling empowered and confident
Couch Dreams on the way
I have aspirations of success and comfort
I feel like I need 20 chains
I desire a luxurious and extravagant lifestyle
I can't pardon my ways
I can't justify or forgive my actions
I'm not sure if I'm changing or if I'm changing my ways
I'm uncertain if I'm growing as a person or just adapting to circumstances
Need conversations with moms
I yearn for deep and meaningful conversations with my mother
'Cause last year wasn't easy for me
Last year was a difficult and challenging period for me
She bring out my light
My mother brings out the best in me and uplifts my spirits
She was there when the city saw it
My mother supported me during times of public scrutiny
I-it won't work baby, we did that, yeah
The relationship won't succeed because we've already tried and failed
Rough patches to past years
Previous years were filled with hardships and challenges
But came back, 17 of absence
Despite being absent for 17 years, I returned
Lost track of what matter, but tell Harlem all cash on
I lost sight of the important things, but now I prioritize making money
Black seven-teen in the casino with some tings, sippin' drinks
I, a black 17-year-old, am enjoying the casino with attractive women while drinking
Same colour, miss cherry red Beamer
I have a cherry red Beamer that matches the color of the casino chips
[?] siding sideways
The car is gliding smoothly and gracefully
Star city amnesia
Being in the glamorous city makes me forget my troubles
Nothing roundabouts to traphouses
There are no connections or involvement with illegal drug houses
We touched down so I might as well rap ′bout it
Since we've arrived, I might as well rap about our experiences
Soon twenty-four, 20 of floor with the view
Turning 24 years old soon, living on the 20th floor with a great view
Bedroom for the visuals and it′s just like we imagined
The bedroom is perfect for creating visual content, just as we envisioned
Mix the magnum with the soda
Mixing high-end alcohol with a soft drink
Sippin' on Jamaican, eating yard food
Enjoying Jamaican drinks and food
[?] rollin′ in, shouts out to court too
Rolling in with a mysterious person, also acknowledging the presence of someone named Court
Flow of the century like I'm [?]
My flow is incredibly impressive and groundbreaking
Jheeze
Expressing awe or excitement
Clout already gone I thought bought two, jheeze
My reputation and influence have dwindled unexpectedly
Black on black, Secret Empire cover my top
Wearing all black, representing Secret Empire while protecting my reputation
Back to back, G wagons when we in New York
Driving in consecutive G Wagon vehicles while in New York
Benny told me wise up, tshh
Benny advised me to become more knowledgeable and intelligent
Say nothing my dawg
Don't worry, my friend
Still of the henny, you no like that
I'm still drinking Hennessy, I know you're not a fan
Sexy nigga, shit I can't pree
I consider myself attractive, but I can't gauge your opinion
Where my eyes at?
Where should I direct my attention?
Still bad Bs on me daily
I still attract beautiful women every day
What my life like
What is my life really like?
Watch them if they keep a dodgy gaze
Be wary of people who have suspicious looks
Where your eyes at?
Where should your focus be?
Shady niggas in our section wanna eavesdrop and so game
Untrustworthy individuals in our group are trying to listen in and imitate our style
It's a shame to see the admiration really come from fear
It's disappointing to realize that the praise I receive is rooted in fear
Then they talk about it being my year
Despite the fear-based admiration, people still claim it's my time to shine
I feel you say to say it
I understand what you're trying to express
And you say it to say it
You're only saying it for the sake of saying it
You will feel it once you've seen it clear
You'll understand and feel it once you have clarity about the situation
If your vibe is off I won't keep you near
If your energy or attitude is negative, I won't maintain our relationship
Shit
Expressing frustration or disbelief
They got me rappin' like Semih here
They have influenced my rap style to be like Semih's
To tell the truth he one of the few that really care, yeah
Honestly, Semih is one of the few people who genuinely care about me
Still one-ten on my ten toes
I'm still focused and committed
In the summer, should have did the Timbs ′cause it's still cold
Even in the summer, I should have worn Timbs because the atmosphere is still cold
Arsenal on my trackies, huh
Wearing Arsenal tracksuits, expressing support for the team
I'm in some runners tho
I'm wearing sneakers
Heat like Miami, they're some different gunners
We bring the heat like the Miami basketball team, we're unique and talented
Look
Listen up
I used to run Man City like Mancini
I used to have control and dominance like Roberto Mancini did as the manager of Manchester City
Runnin' with the mask got me years like my man Biggie
Wearing a mask while running in the streets has given me a level of respect and influence similar to the late rapper, The Notorious B.I.G.
And I'm still in the field like grass really
I'm still actively involved in the streets and the rap game
Where you can get killed for the cash quickly
The streets are dangerous and you can lose your life for money easily
Look
Listen up
You're going (to) heel like Achilles
You're going to suffer a major downfall or injury like Achilles did
Last receipt threw you like the 5-50-glass ceiling

Feel me
Understand what I'm saying
Wild pree, 'ow you mean? 'Ow you mean?
I'm observing the situation, what do you mean? What do you mean?
Came up living door-to-door with every member of my team
We grew up together in close proximity, sharing experiences with each member of my team
The gas is so real, it's a movie every evening
The excitement and hype we experience is so intense, it feels like watching a movie every evening
Told Uzi, 'pray for me' 'cause these days are really needed
I asked Uzi to pray for me because I'm going through challenging times

Keep dealin' to the fiends
I continue to sell drugs to addicts
I've been drinking like a teen lately, yeah
Lately, I've been consuming alcohol excessively, similar to a teenager
And all I see is money in dreams lately
Lately, all I can think about and desire is money
Look
Listen up
Bro, you gassed, you ain't yard
My friend, you're exaggerating and not being genuine
You and your dawgs lookin' like some girly queens lately
You and your friends are looking feminine and lacking toughness lately
I'm tryna put plex on my wall
I'm trying to hang up plaques as symbols of my success
Went from racks on my drawers to stacks on my card
I transitioned from having money in my underwear to having a significant amount in my bank account
I can tell you 'bout that swipe life
I can tell you about the lifestyle of making purchases with a swipe of a card
Macbook in jail, I can tell you 'bout that Skype life
I can tell you about using a Macbook in prison and communicating through Skype
I'm tryna do the track 'Wise Up'
I'm working on creating the song called 'Wise Up'
Listening to Timber while I roll another L
Listening to Timber music while rolling another joint
Inhale, Exhale
Take a deep breath in, then breathe out
I see you move dodgy
I notice your suspicious movements
And I don't want no parts of that
I don't want to be involved in that
I'm chillin' all nodgic
I'm relaxed and calm
Gettin' spins like laundromat
My songs are receiving a lot of plays, like clothes spinning in a laundromat

Don't tell P that, imma be there when you need that
Don't inform P about my activities, but I'll be there to support you when you need me
Not on some 'see you' when I see you, best believe that

I'm the youngest rapper in the game, so you better increase your spending if you want me to perform
B.O.C. mafia that home court advantage
Representing B.O.C. mafia with the advantage of being in our home territory
Been stopped at a weight gain and still doing damage
Despite not gaining popularity or recognition, I'm still making an impact
Ray Allen with the step back in the water
Making a skillful and unexpected move, similar to Ray Allen's step back shot in basketball
Five, I'm going for the three if I want to
I have the freedom to make choices and go for what I desire
Steady at the buzzer like they ordered
Being calm and composed even in high-pressure situations, as if it's expected of me
Shorty tried to escape, but I caught her like my last name
Someone tried to get away from me, but I caught them like it's my last name (referring to a family name)
I'm just getting started
I'm only beginning and there's still more to come
But I'm really past fame, niggas ain't got no game
I've moved on from seeking fame and realize that most people lack talent or skills
All they do is argue 'bout who get my jersey post-game
