Overall Meaning

In the song "Streets" by Rimzee feat. 1st Born, the lyrics depict a narrative of a life immersed in the streets, where the singer navigates through the challenges, dangers, and allure of this lifestyle. The lyrics highlight the relentless pursuit of money, the street code of loyalty, and the need to stay vigilant in order to survive.


The opening lines suggest that the singer is engaged in illegal activities, as he references changing prices and obtaining goods discreetly. The mention of being in jail and acquiring drugs for a significant other further emphasizes the criminal aspect of his life. He mentions enjoying fine dining experiences and owning expensive items, such as a Gucci backpack, indicating a level of success and status in the streets. The line "My food penger than Lauren Lon'" can be interpreted as referring to the singer's drug supply being of higher quality or quantity than his peers'.


The lyrics also touch upon the singer's ability to navigate the streets alone, implying a sense of self-sufficiency and independence. He references previous alliances and partnerships, specifically with someone named F, indicating a history of working with others and possibly engaging in criminal activities together. The line "Respect the come up, but I don't know these new guys" suggests a detachment from the younger generation in the streets, possibly due to a generation gap or fading relevance.


The chorus reflects a sense of disconnect between the singer's life in the streets and the notion of salvation or redemption. The streets are portrayed as a force that cannot save him, yet he remains devoted to pursuing money on a daily basis, emphasizing the grip that the streets have on his life. The mention of others attempting to deceive or manipulate him further illustrates the constant threat and challenges he faces.


Overall, "Streets" paints a vivid picture of a life deeply entrenched in the gritty realities of street culture, focusing on themes of survival, loyalty, and the allure of material wealth.
