Highway
S.C.I. Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I've been running benjis up all day
That og kush smoke flowing through the airways
Laid back listening to rod wave
I remember when I was broke and I ain't have nothing
Now people tryna hmu because I have something
I'm thanking God for putting me in a better place
Cause I could be shackled up in the chains
I watched my momma struggle
Tryna keep on the lights on when I was a youngin
Tell me how my daddy wasn't shit
Cause he ain't help with nothing
Hadda share 2 beds wit my big brother
And my 3 lil cousin's
I knew then something wasn't right
Something wasn't cutting
I turned 15 when I discovered trap is how I'm living
Wrapping up that pack
And stash it in the ceiling
Got my first strap
For niggas acting silly
And I was sending them shots at niggas like penicillin
They locked me up and put me behind gates
Talked to lil shawty on the phone
She told me keep my faith
Momma put bread on the books
To make sure I was straight
And I'ma return the favor
That's why I be up late
Clutching while I'm riding on the highway
I've been running benjis up all day
That og kush smoke flowing through my airways
Laid back listening to rod wave
I remember when I was broke and I ain't have nothing
Now people tryna hmu because I have something
I'm thanking God for putting me in a better place
Cause I could be shackled up in the chains
Pour up a foe and light a blunt for all my niggas dead and gone
I swear I miss you
And any nigga speak on yo name
We gon press the issue
Got heat but still my heart cold
I'm hurt but my love still gold
I know I'll make it right
I can't stop cause they depend on me
So I'm up at night
My phone be blowing up
Bitches asking for the white
Hunnits in my pockets seem to fill my appitete
But I'ma ball out cause I can't take it to the after life
Diamonds dancing
And my Glock I hold it tight
Bitches dancing
Watching ones fall all through the lights
Look in the mirror gotta tell myself I'll be alright
Perfection can't be rushed
Ain't no need to expedite
Clutching while I'm riding on the highway
I've been running benjis up all day
That og kush smoke flowing through my airways
Laid back listening to rod wave
I remember when I was broke and I ain't have nothing
Now people tryna hmu because I have something
I'm thanking God for putting me in a better place
Cause I could be shackled up in the chains

There's another short!
"Alfred, we need to run that girl over."
"Are you daft, woman? You remember that deer we hit with my old Vauxhall, how it smashed up the whole bloody front panel?"
"But she's clearly some sort of lunatic -- can't have such people wandering the roads!"
"Don't see how that's our problem. This isn't even our county -- folks around here want to let nutters walk the roads, it's their own business. They have bobbies, same as anyone else."
"YOU have no sense of civic responsibility! Imagine if you'd been a Spitfire pilot in 1940: 'They're not my Germans -- don't see why I should be troubled shooting them down.', and we'd all be eating braunschweiger sausages today!"
"I quite like braunschweiger sausages, to be honest."
"That's NOT the bloody POINT!"
"Then why'd you bring it up?"
(Little girl vomits again at the mention of sausages.)

Almost like she's trying to find a timeline where she survives, while someone else is trying to eliminate her... Very well done.
@miclowgunman1987
She seems too relaxed for a person trying to survive. She got in a strangers car without a second thought and she was walking down the middle of the road with her eyes closed. She doesn't seem to have processed the radio messages meaning yet or the doom that follows her.

I've had dreams like that. When you are SCREAMING trying to tell someone something about danger and they just aren't listening! It's the worst feeling EVER! This story plays on those emotions, and they hit the nail on the head with this one. Amazing.
