PIVOT Gang Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Oh
Yeah, ay, yeah, ay, ay

Had a plan, grab a pan from my west, grab a bands
Girlfriend, she get sticky like a amphibian
I'm the man, twenty grand, Pivot Clan, that's my band
And that shit for life, but it ain't no tats on my skin
I get paid every K, then you hatin' and shit
Got a care on my head, but this Bape on my fit
Runnin' laps 'round the lands, on some Daytona shit
Reap rewards with my boys, so I'm takin' that risk, yeah
Fight a fan, Ron Artest, you salty man, heart attack
They say that wouldn't happen' like a black man call the cab
Yellin' free my nigga until they are free, Free Carter 5
You don't never shop, circlin' shit in a catalog
Hand me the ball, I get involved
Niggas ain't fuckin' with Pivot no more
People was sleepin' on me and the boys
And now we in the green you can see the report
Rather me fail than see me in Forbes
If I take an L, then it was important
I treat the chat just like it's a toilet
All of my niggas we needed a portion

Ay yeah ay, mmh, mmh, yeah
Big nigga love the yams, burnt my soul in the kitchen
Leanin' like italic with a bold disposition
That moment like a padding got a soul with some stitches
Witness like snitches, the globe gotta get this
Viral infections, connect it like Nexus
Lowkey I ain't never spend a T like Texas
Before I speak, feel me like bestest
Before I eat, break a piece, I ain't selfish
A slum village took it all back
It was sun pillars, none fillers
Flippin' dope like brick under the tongue, ain't it
Gave me Cudi, rock my mic, and started hummin' it
Tried to cripple me, but you know how I'm bombin'
Move through the pain, you lose same, least I thought so
Money on rain, grind a name, got me far so
Buried away, they still dig me like fossil
Shine with no drive in no lane, you a car show

Yo, uh, yo, yo, yo
Broadway, broad day in the Uber with the tints now
Always we was guttin' hella dutches sittin' in the hallway
I was throwin' in a hand, now I'm holdin' all spades
And my shorty is a ten, ten, ten, I be stackin' like win, win, win
They tunin' in, like it's 10 10 wins
I know that we been lit, I know that I got it nigga
I don't gotta' spend it
Ain't too many items on my wishlist
Comin' out of Highland 'cause they do not wanna miss this
Wakin' from they slumber, 'cause they tryna bare witness
Droppin' in the summer, but they treat it like it's Christmas
Couldn't finish school, I'm just happy that the pen hit
When I'm in the hood everybody show me real love
Ten pounds every ten steps, homie down ya'
Shawty blow me up when she see I'm in her town, look
I'ma hit you up, if I see you on the route, uh

Touch
Watch me work
lil' play he from the dirt
Dirty hands, all my mans got they palms on alert
They ain't Lilith
they ain't believe I'm worth, time to curse
Any nigga tryna watch us like the first
Pivot run it back, they react, they attract
We done black, like the hearin' back, hearin' that bag if they lack
Ain't no backin' down
Comin' through the back since the grams came
My man Sam run it like a stack, so keep it comin', yeah
Keep it a hundred, yeah, one-double-o
After the show we meet the other half
Deposit at the door
I need legit since my business legit, I was poor
Nigga broke about they mold, never broken on the code
And it's cold where I'm from, runny nose in the slum
Run these shows, and we 'bout to run the game, wat we done?
We beat the odds
It was never in the cause from the jump




Need it all, you can call
but we really on the run, nigga

Overall Meaning

The PIVOT Gang's "SoHo Freestyle" features four rappers as they share their life experiences and careers, both individual and what they've been doing as a group.Β The first verse features Mfn Melo discussing his band, Pivot Gang, where he got his money and the activities he engages in. He brags about how he gets paid every day, runs around the land, and willing to fight because he's all about taking the risk. In addition, he talks about how people underestimated him and his team, but now they are successful, and he would instead fail than see himself in Forbes magazine.


The second verse comes from Frsh Waters as he discusses his kitchen utensils and food preparation, such as his love for yams. He also talks about his assertiveness and confidence and how he doesn't spend his money on expensive items like Texas. Frsh continues to mention his perseverance and how he was given an opportunity by Cudi, which he jumped on and how his haters tried to cripple him but he surpassed that.
