Ty Dolla $ign Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
When's the last time you talked to Jessica & Weldon?
What's going on with them?
What we doin'?
Rivalda Angelos, that's my Akbar
He's back for me, for the sake of Allah
He brought Jessica Jackson on board and she's a real activist
And they're takin' my case straight to Governor Gavin Newsome
He's over-progressive, but recognizes the system is corrupt
He can commute my sentence and they'll pardon me, just like that
Or the prison can release me
It's crazy that it's taken this long (yeah)
But we on our way bro
It's all love
In the first verse, Ty Dolla $ign asks about two individuals named Jessica and Weldon and wonders what is happening with them. The lyrics suggest that these people may have some significance in his life or in the larger context of the song.
The next part introduces Rivalda Angelos, who Ty Dolla $ign refers to as his Akbar. This could imply that Rivalda is someone he looks up to or holds in high regard. He mentions that Rivalda is back for him, possibly indicating support or assistance in a particular situation, all for the sake of Allah.
Moving on, the lyrics highlight Jessica Jackson, describing her as a real activist. It's mentioned that she, along with someone named Kim Kardashian, is making changes and shaping laws. This suggests that Jessica and Kim Kardashian are involved in advocating for legal reforms and social justice causes.
Furthermore, the lyrics mention that they are taking Ty Dolla $ign's case directly to Governor Gavin Newsome. It is implied that Governor Newsome is considered progressive but also aware of the corrupt nature of the system. The hope is that Governor Newsome will commute Ty Dolla $ign's sentence or issue a pardon, potentially leading to his release from prison.
The final line expresses amazement at the length of time it has taken for progress to occur, but also conveys a sense of optimism and love. It suggests that despite the challenges and delays, progress is being made in their efforts to bring about change and secure Ty Dolla $ign's release.
