Bad bitch and she next to me
We getting lit to a symphony
We getting lit to a symphony
Catch me out on a balcony
Bad bitch and she next to me
We getting lit to a symphony
We getting lit to a symphony
Yea it's Funny how it used to be
But the past is the past
It ain't shit to me
I'm focused on the present like it's Christmas
I ain't change the number
But hello who is it
I'm at the altar
I see eye to eye with my lord
She told me hold my head high
And carry my sword
I offer incense
Light the candle
For I leave the crib
Just in case the jealousy get way too big
Catch me out on a balcony
Bad bitch and she next to me
We getting lit to a symphony
We getting lit to a symphony
Catch me out on a balcony
Bad bitch and she next to me
We getting lit to a symphony
We getting lit to a symphony
No going back to what it used to be
The past is still the past
It ain't shit to me
I came up out the mud
Like a lotus
The aura match the Cuban link
Bitch I'm golden
I'm not afraid
I'm on the balcony for the snipers
A nigga rather pull a stick
Fore he try to fight ya
Fake friends they be like
It's all love bro
You wouldn't have to say it
If it really was tho
Catch me out on a balcony
Bad bitch and she next to me
We getting lit to a symphony
We getting lit to a symphony
In Ra-Grim's song Symphony, he is describing a scene where he is with a bad girl on a balcony and together they are getting high and listening to a symphony. Even though he acknowledges that the past is the past, he makes it clear that he is only focused on the present and future. He has a clear head and is ready to face whatever comes his way. He likens the present to Christmas, where he gets to enjoy the moment and leave behind all worries.
In the second verse, Ra-Grim's faith becomes evident as he mentions standing at the altar where he had a connection with his lord. He takes pride in holding his head high and carrying his sword, which he believes is the key to his success. He also lights a candle and offers incense, which means he is praying for protection and guidance as he leaves his home.
It is evident that Ra-Grim is aware of the dangers that come with success, hence his statement, "I'm on the balcony for the snipers," indicating that he is guarding himself against potential attacks from fake friends or foes. He also acknowledges his humble beginnings when he says he came up from the mud like a lotus, and he is now shining like gold.
Overall, the song Symphony seems to be about enjoying the present moment and protecting oneself from potential threats. Ra-Grim's faith is also evident, and he acknowledges that his success has made him a target for jealous people.

Yea it's Funny how it used to be
It's interesting to reflect on how things used to be in the past

I still have to deal with unknown, new people in my life

I'm on the balcony for the snipers
I am enjoying my celebration while being aware of potential danger and jealous people
A nigga rather pull a stick
Violence is more likely from others than from me, since I am successful
Fore he try to fight ya
It's better to be prepared for violence rather than to instigate it
Fake friends they be like
False friends will act supportive, but it may not be genuine
It's all love bro
They will try to reassure and convince me of their support and loyalty
You wouldn't have to say it
I wouldn't need this reassurance if they were truly loyal
If it really was tho
Their actions and true intentions reveal their loyalty, not their words
