R.E.C. Lyrics

Yeah
Expressing enthusiasm and agreement

Hey
Attention grabber, getting someone's focus

Can you believe it?
Asking if the listener finds something unbelievable

Look
Drawing attention to something

Why you stand in line
Questioning why the listener is waiting in line

Looking for a new direction
Searching for a different path or purpose

Let em know
Making others aware or informing them

I'm Traveling on a road I know I made my own
Following a self-made path in life instead of conforming

Why you wasting time
Questioning why the listener is spending time unproductively

Tying to get back a second
Reclaiming or trying to regain something that has passed

Take control
Asserting the importance of taking charge

Of what you got before it's gone
Appreciating and making the most of current possessions or opportunities

I can hear them hater's talking and
Acknowledging the negative comments from haters

I ain't gone tell em be quite
Refusing to ask them to be quiet

Go head start a riot I'll be
Encouraging others to create chaos while the singer stays focused

Here stokin the fire
Continuing to fuel motivation and determination

Why you doin that?
Questioning why someone is engaging in a specific action

Bet I won't
Asserting a strong belief that the singer won't do something

Wait
Asking for a moment of patience or anticipation

Let me know
Requesting to be informed or updated on something

Be my worst enemy I don't sympathy
Preferring to challenge oneself rather than receive pity

Roll up the remedy
Finding a solution or coping mechanism

Then I got energy feel like it's 10 of me
Feeling an abundance of energy and capability

Work out intensity
Exercising with high levels of effort and focus

Effects of the pandemic outwardly
Expressing the impact of the pandemic on the singer's life

Got me feelin the rat race won't cut out for me
Feeling unsuited for the competitive and stressful nature of society

From broke begging on my knees to a mountain of cheese
Narrating the journey from financial struggle to abundance

High up hanging out that's a balcony
Enjoying success and leisure from a position of wealth

I did it because it was difficult
Explaining the motivation behind a challenging pursuit

Misery is only temporary
Understanding that unhappiness is temporary and can be overcome

When you gotta goal in mind to center you
Having a clear objective that serves as a source of focus and stability

That's food for thought you know no edibles
Metaphorically recognizing the importance of mental stimulation over physical consumption

This worlds unforgivingly beautiful
Acknowledging the harsh and yet captivating nature of the world

You too busy being identical
Critiquing their preoccupation with conforming and lacking uniqueness

Live a little get a different view
Encouraging them to broaden their perspective and have new experiences

I'm outta space on a distant moon
Imagining being in an unreachable and unique place

Gradually acquiring new skills everyday
Continually learning and improving abilities over time

By never letting pride or ego hit the fairway
Avoiding arrogance and pride to stay on the right path

Attitude sets your altitude put that on my son
Emphasizing the impact of one's mindset on their achievements

If there ain't a way No say create one
Encouraging resilience and resourcefulness when faced with obstacles

If you ain't having fun then you ain't living right
Highlighting the importance of enjoyment in life

That how I felt when I wasn't living right
Reflecting on a past time of dissatisfaction and unhappiness

Most of us are robbed by self sabotage
Recognizing that personal actions can hinder progress and success

But those battle wounds and scars make up who we are
Acknowledging that adversities shape our identity and character

I tried to find my final resting place that didn't seem
Attempting to discover a sense of peace or contentment

To wanna show it's ugly face so I was stuck in a dream
Being unable to escape a state of illusion or dissatisfaction

Where I couldn't differentiate from real and make believe
Experiencing confusion between reality and fantasy

Wake up and everyone is fake
Feeling surrounded by inauthenticity and superficiality

Wait that's reality
Realizing that the world can be filled with deceit and pretense

I say when I make it they say never will
Asserting the singer's determination despite doubters

That's why I opted for the blue pill
Choosing to believe in possibilities and defy pessimism

Head erect as I interject
Maintaining confidence while speaking up or expressing oneself

Coolin jets on my Bilick
Relaxing and taking a break from high-intensity activities

Use to flex all about the checks
Previously focused on showcasing material wealth

Cars, clothes, and a lot sex
Valuing material possessions and physical pleasures

Is that really the definition of success
Questioning the conventional notion of success

Or a test to assess the powerless
Considering if such pursuits only evaluate one's lack of power or control

Versus the ones who got remote control
Contrasting those who have autonomy and influence

Over channels all across the globe
Having power and influence in various aspects globally

Shang Thangs ya try to take your soul
Highlighting external forces that aim to manipulate or harm

And sell it well before it's ever Known
Exploiting one's potential or talent for personal gain

Don't stop
Encouraging persistence and perseverance
