D.O.A
T-Rock Lyrics

It's all about the Money, Drugs, Weapons, Oil
The song revolves around the themes of money, drugs, weapons, and oil.

Who got the bigger guns to the victor goes the spoils
The one with superior firepower will claim the rewards and benefits.

It goes make that, shake that
Work hard and hustle to make money.

Take that money
Take the earned money for oneself.

That flake, that weight
Referring to drugs, specifically cocaine or other substances with monetary value.

That caked out honey, yeah
Referring to a woman who has a lot of money and is attractive.

On the block
On the streets, engaging in illegal activities.

Trying to get that scummy
Attempting to acquire money in a less than respectable manner.

Get locked, go cop
If arrested, they would purchase or obtain drugs while in custody.

They ain't got that from me
Implying that the drugs or items they have were not acquired from the artist.

But you don't really smile cause ain't shit funny
Despite the wealth or success, one isn't genuinely happy.

When your pockets on E
Being broke or having no money.

And your blood streams hungry
In desperate need for financial resources.

It's by any means necessary
Whatever actions or methods are required, it will be done to obtain money.

I need money
Expressing the importance and necessity of money.

Yes money for the drugs
Money is needed to purchase drugs.

And weapons for the oil
Weapons are necessary to protect one's interests in the oil industry.

Put the Pyrex on the stove, till it boil
Using a Pyrex container to cook drugs until they are ready.

And plant my crops, and tend my soil
Investing in and managing illegal activities to generate profits.

An pray that the links in the chain stay loyal
Hoping that the people involved in the illegal operation remain trustworthy.

Cause that right there make the world go round
This song suggests that money, drugs, weapons, and oil drive the world's economy and power dynamics.

That right there makes your girl go down
Implying that wealth and power can attract women who are willing to perform sexual acts.

In the heart of every major metropolitan town
These activities are prevalent in big cities.

It's that real shit, kill switch, Double Down Krown
Referring to the authenticity and danger associated with the mentioned activities.

Money is the new age Apple
Comparing the significance and influence of money to that of a widely recognized technology company.

So be careful how you travel
Be cautious of the decisions and actions taken in pursuit of money.

When you talk the walk the capital
When engaging in discussions or business related to money.

Plans always unravel
Even well-thought-out plans can fall apart unexpectedly.

It's dumber then stabbing backwards
Engaging in foolish or self-destructive behavior.

No thoughts for the afterwards
Not considering the consequences or long-term effects of one's actions.

My working class stature
The singer's position as part of the working-class.

Helped me gain focus in battle
Their background has provided them with determination and concentration during challenging situations.

Do my job well, And do it right the first time
Striving for excellence and efficiency in their endeavors from the beginning.

That has always been my motto, Ever since the first rhyme
Maintaining a strong work ethic and commitment since they started their music career.

While connections with firm minds, Help me to learn lessons
Associating with intelligent individuals enables them to acquire valuable knowledge and experiences.

On how to spot Sebastian's, Moving in with Cruel Intention
Recognizing those who have malicious intentions or ulterior motives.

Not simply fact retention
It's not just about remembering information, but also understanding and utilizing it effectively.

That makes L.A.B. better dude, It's the skill level too
The singer's talent and proficiency contribute to their superiority.

We get props for making letters too, We are just made better to
Their ability to create powerful lyrics and music is respected and admired, highlighting their superior skills.

Reinforce this art, Which through a coups d'état, Is being torn apart
They want to protect and preserve the true essence of hip-hop from its current state of decline caused by unfavorable circumstances.

So while these kids sing along, Their minds are being scared
The younger generation may enjoy the music, but it also shapes their thoughts in negative ways.

And its mental murder, But you can't call cops, Cause that's not Hip-Hop
The harmful influence on the listeners' mentality can be seen as a form of psychological harm, but it can't be reported to authorities as it goes against the principles of hip-hop culture.

Hip-Hop is a gift, Hip-Hop is to uplift
Arguing that hip-hop is supposed to inspire and motivate rather than exert negative influence.

Don't take that for granted
Appreciate the positive aspects and potential of hip-hop music.

Pistol grippin, The block pouring
Holding a handgun tightly while engaged in illegal activities on the streets.

Grind dirty, Cause the block warring
Engaging in illicit activities because the neighborhood is characterized by conflict and competition.

Type of shit I do when ya'll snoring
Engaging in illicit activities when others are asleep or unaware.

In the crib, Spooning on your bitch
While others are relaxing or intimate with their partners, the artist is actively involved in illegal activities.

I'm out here on my shit, Like soon to be rich
Working hard to achieve success and accumulate wealth.

Soon to be global, But still my heart so local
Anticipating to attain international recognition, but maintaining a strong connection to their local community.

That my veins shaped like a metro map
The singer feels deeply connected to their neighborhood, as if the streets and routes are imprinted in their veins.

Bullets retro cap, 993s
Referencing retro-style caps and a specific model of luxury sports cars, associated with their lifestyle.

When I had the keys before the rap
When they had control and dominance in their neighborhood before they pursued a career in music.

Yeah I was all that, but the game dirty
Acknowledging their previous status and influence, but recognizing the corrupt nature of their environment.

Took it all back, I had to re coupe and fall back
Having to reclaim their position and retreat temporarily in order to recover and strategize.

Holla at L, And go half
Seeking the support and collaboration of a partner, sharing the risks and rewards.

Now we holding weight, Like a pair of calves
Currently accumulating power and influence, similar to how strong muscles are built in the lower legs.

No more pumping on the hill, Bullshitting on the Ave
No longer engaging in drug distribution or wasting time on the neighborhood streets.

I'm thinking big, Plus niggas in my hood getting smoked like a cig
Expanding their ambitions while witnessing violence and death occurring frequently in their neighborhood.

Shit I'm trynna live, Brega
Expressing the motivation to survive and prosper, despite the challenges and dangers they face.
