ScHoolboy Q Lyrics

Blank face, blank face, blank face, blank face
Expressionless and emotionless face, exhibiting a lack of feeling or expression

I'll trade the noise for a piece of divine
Willingness to swap the commotion and chaos of the world for a peaceful existence

This that 'Fuck the blogs'
A rejection of unnecessary buzz created by media outlets

The afterbell, we hang in halls
Gathering in school corridors after classes are over

Underage, smokin' weed and alcohol
Indulging in illicit drugs and alcohol consumption while being below the legal age

Grandma sweeped shells out the driveway
Grandmother sweeping off bullet shells from the front yard of the house

One of the homies got slayed so we bang at the King parade
Retaliation against the opposition during public events like Martin Luther King Jr. parades

I can take you spots where gangsters walk
Knowledge of locations where dangerous individuals frequently go

Where real damus and locs, Boyz N the Hood wasn't even close
The existence of actual gang members who can be far more violent and dangerous than those shown in the film 'Boyz N the Hood'

Where the girls' kitten show, hit the dope and the pussy soaked
Places where girls expose themselves and also indulge in drug and alcohol consumption

Now she get you for your change, Captain Save-A-Hoe, mane
Girls who exploit men for money while refusing to work to earn their own living

I ain't been right since out the cervix
Feeling of being out of sync or not being one's self since birth

I know a M can make it perfect
Desire to have more money as the solution to one's problems

It came through more than the one I worship
Money has been more beneficial than God in the life of the singer

You I never lie, the truth be told, the dope, it gettin' sold
A statement of honesty that illegal drugs are being sold by the singer

He got the runny nose
Symptoms of drug abuse (like a runny nose) are visible on the individuals who consume illegal substances being sold by the artist

Summertime, we don't trust niggas in winter clothes
Suspicion of individuals wearing heavy clothing with the possibility of carrying weapons

I swear the hood low, as the burner get rolls I follow the city codes
Communities are quiet and calm when guns are in use. The singer follows the unwritten rules of the city regarding the use of firearms

My money short
The singer has insufficient funds

Missin' them days of honey oats
The artist feels nostalgic about times when life was simpler

Dollar bills in mama's coat
Memories of his mother secretly hiding cash in her coat pocket

Cartoons and bubble soap
Happy memories from childhood, of watching cartoons and playing with bubble soap

This be the realest shit I wrote
The song is an honest reflection of the rapper's life

This be that ride that hunnid spoke
The song takes the listener on a journey narrating the experience of the rapper's life

Red and blue from head to toe
Wearing gang-affiliated colors to showcase loyalty to a particular gang

Who needs a mothafuckin' friend?
A statement that the singer doesn't require the company of others

You see them mothafuckin' rims
Drawing attention to the rims on the car as a symbol of success and wealth

Met the devil in disguise
The artist has encountered evil people who may appear normal and trustworthy

Look through my mothafuckin' eyes
Inviting the listener to see the world through the artist's perspective

Vision impaired by the high
Being under the influence of drugs which impact one's sight

No cares on my mind
Having no worries or concerns about the future

Couple dares, that is fine
Feeling okay with taking certain risks and challenges

My picture was in full frame
Appearing to have one's life together outwardly

But my vision had distort
However, a deeper look reveals that the artist is struggling to make sense of their life

My memory is okay
The singer's memory is unaffected by their current issues

But my feelings on point
The artist's emotions accurately reflect the struggles they are experiencing

I could be here all day if you let me go, go, go, go
The singer could speak at length about their issues if given the chance

Oh Lord!
Expression of exasperation about their circumstances

You don't know the half of what I had to hold, hold, hold, hold
The singer has experienced difficulties that the listener is not aware of

I see faces at my window
Experiencing paranoia and being afraid of others

My patience growin' short
Running out of tolerance and patience for people and things

I had no one to lend on
Feeling alone and without support from others

That's why that chip is so cold
Referring to the singer's hardened demeanor and emotional walls

Kinda like the cool king on my fallen bros, bros, bros, bros
Comparing himself to the leader of his group having hardened up and also experienced loss of others in his group

Guess that's my curtain call, my last go
Feeling that this could be his last chance to succeed in life

Said isn't this shit what you wanted to see?
Sarcastic remark about people's interest in the rapper's suffering and hardships

Ain't this shit what you wanted to see?
Repeating sarcastic comment about people's fascination with his life's struggles
