Dope
Sene feat. Blu Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Surpassed hope I was young, survived life
Lightskin ridin' with Co$$, making runs making funds
Snatch you off the mic if you wasn't nice
This is rap, I script the ridiculous
You could kiss me once, reciting Biggie get that nigga hung
Cuban links cost too much, I broke a brick
Fuck you think slum, 83' N.W.A. TJ Beast
Life is a bitch that never raised me
I'm from the 80's you could picture me crazy
Kinda gravy with that wavy flow
I need that Caddy or Mercedes so your lady know
That i'm from cali y'all
Page me after 8 and we'll be straight
Bombay on the breaks and it's a day
Rap Dope
It's like, yea
She shined all the time
Put the Piru on my mind
Pardon me, for my love i'm doing fine
I'm sure you looking good, pushing good
Wassup with that, watchu' talking?
You knew I would, what the deal witchu' doll?
I see you lookin' all delectable, it's quite huxtable
Of you to get involved
No more pushing the button when the stick up kid is buttoned up in that button up
Hope I ain't stuck up
Pardon my mouth but I don't wanna sock my watch in your mouth
I grew up with the fuzz huggin my [?]
[?] Autobot, Robocop, doughnuts, ice cream trucks, Parliament thump
Fresh Prince with the comic, one pant leg doing the LL
It never failed, running hoes in my penny
Smashing left over, stolen from Denny's, rolling from fifties
Folding up 50's, posing with the whole shit, sewn up with me
On the low for the city though
Rap Dope
Straight up
Destined to do it
Blessing the presents with the presence
A steadier message, who is you foolin'?
Calvin Coolin' with that Doolittle soundtrack
I rep the squad, Def Jam CDs in my napsack
Raekwon, Pooh Bear, leaning on my low life
No life is no joke, the microphone fiends on the mic
Saw Willams was silly, I never met him, a pity really
Even still though, I honor the professor, none the lesser
I play the movie, not the director, it's never better
Some niggas need to keep they shit together like you pee MD
[?] is etc, the plethora, miles ahead of ya
I tell em smile forever but you'll never last
I shot the best dressed in class cuz he made me wear the best I had
I'm never mad though, relax soul, back roll
The teacher asked how I get that much cash flow
Rap Dope, nigga
The song "Dope" by Sene feat. Blu is a rap track that primarily focuses on the nostalgia of growing up in the 80s and 90s. The lyrics express scenes and flashbacks of living a challenging life in the streets while working hard to achieve success. Notably, the first paragraph is about Sene's determination to succeed, and the importance of hard work in achieving that success. He speaks of "making runs, making funds" and how he could "snatch you off the mic if you (weren't) nice."
In the second paragraph, Blu takes over with lyrics that pay homage to his upbringing in California. He speaks of the difficulties of living a life of crime and how he was "destined to do it." He describes how he grew up with the police hugging his "fanny," Autobots and ice cream trucks in the street, and he reminisces about the television shows he watched as a kid, like Fresh Prince of Bel-Air.
Overall, "Dope" can be taken as a reminder that hard work and determination can lead to success, despite difficult beginnings. The lyrics are also a nod to the rappers' upbringing in the 80s, which is strikingly similar across many different regions of the United States.
