Sean Price Lyrics

Listen.
Big bang theory hear me Sean born
Fresh out my moms pussy, Sean born porn
Sean long gone, somebody bring him back
He's moving too slow, somebody bring him crack
He's moving too fast, somebody bring him dope
Fucked up in the dirt, somebody give him soap
But they whack, like Glen Rice with new balance on
Dominque wore brooks, Sean P wore crooks
And castles, smack whoever give long looks
Baffled, the mind rhyme designed is outlandish
Like copping coke from poppy not understanding Spanish
Understand the damage of the incredible Ruck
Puff green, get mean, swing and your shit get bust
Tough, Tonka truck four by four
Guns out, you rubbed out, all out war
P!

In "Suicide Doors," Sean Price engages in some introspection, taking stock of his life and career. He references the big bang theory to underscore that he was born to make an impact. However, he suggests that he has lost his way and needs help to get back on track. He uses drugs as a metaphor for this assistance, saying that he needs them to speed up or slow down as required. The verses also touch on his music, using the metaphor of violence to describe his lyrics. Ultimately, he concludes that he needs to "clean up his act" and make better music.
The chorus, performed by Neil James, reinforces the overall theme of the song, with the phrase "suicide doors" referring to cars with doors that open upwards, often associated with luxury and expensive cars. However, the phrase "suicide doors" also alludes to the danger and risk-taking that Sean Price has engaged in throughout his life.
Overall, "Suicide Doors" is a complex song that reflects on the highs and lows of Sean Price's life, both personal and professional. It also explores themes of addiction and the need for self-improvement.
