IV
Rocks & Waves Song Circle Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I was jabbing at it
I used to lie in gym class
I'm an asthmatic
Espolon in my Bota wine bag
Had a hammer in my Klein bag
Jamming Clipse where we grind at
Twill cotton double-knees
Can't help but smile in a shootout
Handsy with my homegirl
Her man caught us
What will we do now
The Invisible Man coming soon now
I can hardly sleep
Bust a sex tape in Missy's Jeep
I was on the phone with Mr. Boomtown and Dr. Teeth
I told 'em keep the cameras rolling
So many balls on me they thought that I was duckpin bowling
Nobody's album will be better before or since
In the field so long I got shin splints
So the hoes adore us
Made a pretty bitch kiss me like Squints Palledorous
Fuck your clothing line and your weak-ass art
Diving in dangerous parts
Building with thirsty mammals
White man scream
Swim Scott sharks
The lyrics to Rocks & Waves Song Circle's song IV are cryptic and suggest a range of ideas and emotions. The opening line, "Low hanging fruit, I was jabbing at it," could be interpreted as referring to going after easy targets or opportunities without thinking too deeply about them. The next line, "I used to lie in gym class, I'm an asthmatic," introduces a personal detail that could suggest vulnerability or underdog status. The references to Espolon in a Bota wine bag and a hammer in a Klein bag could suggest a sense of resourcefulness or readiness for whatever comes next.
The following lines refer to listening to Clipse, a hip-hop group known for their gritty and explicit lyrics, and hanging out behind a Chevy Celebrity. This could be a reference to a specific time and place while also suggesting a sense of camaraderie and loyalty. When the singer is caught by a fellow party-goer, the lyrics take a dark turn with the mention of "The Invisible Man coming soon now" and the sense of impending danger it suggests. The mention of a sex tape in Missy's Jeep and conversations with Mr. Boomtown and Dr. Teeth add to the sense of grit and danger that permeates the song.
Towards the end of the song, there are references to being "in the field so long I got shin splints" and building with "thirsty mammals." These lines suggest a sense of weariness and struggle, but also a determination to keep going. The final lines, "White man scream, Swim Scott sharks," could be interpreted as a metaphor for the idea of challenging or overcoming obstacles, whatever they may be.

I was on the phone with Mr. Boomtown and Dr. Teeth
Talking to specific people on the phone
I told 'em keep the cameras rolling
Instructing to keep recording
So many balls on me they thought that I was duckpin bowling
Feeling immense pressure
Nobody's album will be better before or since
Believing that their work is unparalleled
In the field so long I got shin splints
Working for a prolonged period has caused physical strain
So the hoes adore us
Attracting attention from women
Made a pretty bitch kiss me like Squints Palledorous
Having a romantic encounter with someone attractive
Fuck your clothing line and your weak-ass art
Disregarding someone's creative work
Diving in dangerous parts
Taking risks
Building with thirsty mammals
Working with motivated people
White man scream
Expression of surprise or fear
Swim Scott sharks
Navigating through difficult situations with confidence
