Meditation
R.I.B & Soty Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You talkin' hard but you're baby soft
They callin' but I stay with my notifications off
If we're talking bars, I'm one of your favorites, dawg
Every time I move my jaw, I probably break a law
Really live the life you amateurs lack
So I don't gotta lie in my rhymes to brag in a rap
That's why my swagger is so matter-of-fact
Never cared 'bout the approval of the masses OR a pat on the back
It's confidence, not cockiness - knowing my ability
The dominance is obvious, the flow's like a distillery
When my head and my heart start separatin'
Gotta get it back, dawg - the music is my Meditation
Nom Who? stay in that heat mode
Beats guaranteed like Curry shootin' a free-throw
When reality and fantasy start separating
Gotta get it back, fam - the music is my Meditation
When my feelings and my thoughts start separatin'
Gotta get it back, dawg - the music is my Meditation
When my head and my heart start separatin'
Gotta get it together - the music is my Meditation
I wash my wounds with the salt water
Thoughts pourin', fingers moving like a court reporter
When I was young I could barely afford a Quarter Water
Now we sip expensive shit imported from across the border
This is the fourth quarter buzzer beater
All these dudes BEEN dead meat - I let the buzzards eat 'em
When my head and my heart start separatin'
Gotta get it together - the music is my Meditation
Arrive on the scene out of a Boom Tube
You ain't a rapper, you review sneakers on YouTube
And your whole channel only has a few views
You never heard of me? Ha! You must be NEW new
Bodied a few dudes, thinkin' they were too cool
Thought that they could move units, but that didn't prove true
You sold a few tunes - then they forgot about ya
I use my platform to bounce on heads like I'm Bowser
Just an old dude - writin' that new shit
While all these new dude's shit is gettin' old quick
I'm just an old head - spittin' some new flames
For all you new rappers, I'm diggin' you new graves
Any time I'm feelin' trepidation
Gotta get centered - the music is my Meditation
When my head and my heart start separatin'
Gotta get myself back - the music is my Mediation
When my feelings and my thoughts start separatin'
When all I hear is negative thoughts - it's hard to take it




When my heart is racin' , overwhelmed by everything I'm facin'
The music is my Meditation
