Take It Easy
Octavian Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Hold, hold on, hold on
Kick off, kick off
Come again
See a lie in the street, I have my voice
I pull up cartel shootin'
Ya bake me up, tell him ya, bake me up
And the way he pull up in somethin', smell like somethin' burnin'
Yeah, yeah
Gang check, gang check
Yeah, yeah
Gang check
Yeah, yeah
Gang check, woo
Flow like six card (gang check, gang check)
I was broke whole lot, one day I looked to the stars
I said, "Is that far?" (is that far? Okay, is that?)
I said, "Is that so far?" (I don't think it is, no)
Had to stack the bread, bring the mans in (mans)
So I up the flow, bring the mandem in (mans)
I said, "Is that so hard?" (is that so hard? Ayy)
I wanna invade the space where the opps dem are (yeah)
This blade will make you feel pain
Could be your day, so get out my face, okay
I kill a man then I throw up the flag, yeah
Pussy niggas, that's the shit I can't stand, ayy
Yeah, this blade will make you feel pain, yeah
Could be your day, so get out my face, okay
I kill a man then I throw up the flag, yeah
Pussy niggas, that's the shit I can't stand
Gun check, gun check, gun check, we gotta come with an FN
Gang check, gang check, gang check, I wanna fuck on your best friend
I don't want your thot 'cause I got enough, I'ma pass her to my best friend
Cashin' my bitch about two hundred dollars, I tell her go back in the kitchen
I pop my shit, I talk my shit when I'm in London
I got my Draco straight from Russia, foreign bustin'
My Draco with me, nigga, that's my foreign cousin
Through these pockets, nigga, this nothin' but blue hundreds
Oh, this that gang check, oh, that bitch naked
I can't leave the house without my Glock or I feel naked
Told her put that ass on me, lil' baby, come and shake it
Get the money, make a move
I slump to stay loose
Money comin' from the label
They trust me, I'm able
Newest nigga on the scene
I got a hoochie in the
Got a hoochie on me
I smoke it to my lungs (my lungs)
Biscotti got me mum (me mum)
I don't talk to no one (no one)
I don't really speak to people (fuck that)
I ain't doin' nothin' legal (ayy, fuck that)
My brothers don't talk too much (too much)
My pills, I pop too much (too much)
And my bro just called me, oh shit
I'm riding (I'm riding)
Looking for you on your block
The gang do mileage
I don't really have to say much
I stay silent, ayy, I'm way too steezy
You don't want no problems with me, take it easy
Now tell me, do you feel me?
Nigga don't want no smoke, then take it easy
Take it easy, now tell me, do you feel me?
If you don't want the smoke then take it easy
Take it easy, I said just take your leave then (now do you feel me?)
Nigga don't want no smoke, so take it easy
Take it easy, now tell me, do you feel me?
Nigga don't want no smoke, then take it easy
The lyrics of Octavian Smokepurpp's song Take It Easy are complex and can have multiple meanings. The song seems to be about the struggles of a rapper trying to make it in the hip hop game. The first verse starts with the line "Hold on father, hold on," which could be interpreted as the artist asking for a higher power's assistance in navigating his career. He then seems to talk about the dangers of the lifestyle he is leading, referencing shootings and drugs. He mentions being "baked up," which could be a reference to being high on drugs or being protected by bodyguards, depending on interpretation.
In the second verse, the artist reflects on his journey to success, referencing starting from the bottom and working hard to get to where he is now. He talks about wanting to invade the space of his rivals and using violence to achieve his goals. He also references throwing up the flag, which could be a reference to gang association or simply to signify his success.
The rest of the song talks about the artist's toughness, his love of guns and violence, and his desire for success. The repeated line "take it easy" could be interpreted in multiple ways, either as a warning to his rivals to not cross him or as a message to himself to remain calm and composed in the face of adversity.
