Bridge
St. Somewhere Lyrics

Don Annix! The real hip hop! The real hip hop
Acknowledging Don Annix's expertise in hip hop, emphasizing that this is the real hip hop

They not ready for this! this the real hip hop! St. George
Asserting that some people may not be prepared for the level of authenticity in St. Somewhere's music

Uh!! Walk across the bridge but don't burn it
Encouraging listeners to be mindful of their actions and interactions, to preserve important relationships

If you win go ahead talk your sh*t cause you earned it
Advocating for the recognition and celebration of one's own achievements

Wasnt born with knowledge, everything i know i learned it
Acknowledging that all of one's knowledge and skills have been acquired through experience and education

Tried some things didnt fit took it off returned it
Admitting to trying and rejecting certain ideas or behaviors in favor of more suitable ones

I ain't into that so i gave it right back
Expressing disinterest in something and returning it to its source

I heard of sing for your supper but they making me rap
Alluding to the pressures and expectations placed on artists to perform and create

I'm up and these motherf*ckers still taking a nap
Asserting one's own productivity and motivation despite the lack thereof in others

I'm racing the track! Increase my pace every lap
Describing a determined effort to succeed and improve steadily

I'm running away! You cant see me facing my back
Turning away from distractions and obstacles to focus on personal goals and progress

I know you amazed at the fact that you facing the facts
Suggesting that some may be surprised or impressed by the truth in one's words or actions

Thought karma wouldn't return it made its way back
Commenting on the inevitability of consequences and the power of cause and effect

Junk food in these streets you get ate for a snack
Comparing lower quality or unauthentic music to junk food, implying its lack of nutritional value

Too slow! I'm in an uber while you wait for a cab
Highlighting one's own efficiency and speed compared to others who may be less proactive

But if it get too crazy then im making a dash
Recognizing the value of safety and quick thinking in difficult situations

Like a test tube baby that they made in the lab
Comparing oneself to a scientific experiment or creation

They "build" (billed) me I'm hot as acid they gave me the tab
Playing on words to describe oneself as an intense, powerful creation or sensation

We going dutch, you balling my free throw is clutch
Referencing a shared cost or effort, implying a balanced or fair relationship

Quiet the crowd, the loud noise cease to a hush
Describing the power of one's voice or message to captivate an audience

You slaves im making waves you need you a brush
Asserting oneself as a leader or disruptive force in the music industry, challenging listeners to follow suit

I dealed you the stuff when it was illegal to puff
Suggesting that St. Somewhere was involved in the production or distribution of banned substances, drawing a parallel to the underground nature of early hip hop

Deal me the cards, the odds is im reading your bluff
Asserting one's own advantage or ability to discern the truth

Honestly you probably haven't been reading enough
Commenting on the importance of education and awareness for success

Lit the match on the stove, I'm just heating it up
Asserting one's own ability to generate interest or excitement

Feeding you lunch at dinner and you eating it up
Implying that listeners are receptive to their music or messaging, no matter the context
