In My Pocket
Ugly Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
This kid got shot with a crossbow in the hallway playing
Nicky Nicky Nine doors Swear to God
I went downstairs one time
This fucking guy was leaking out his stomach
Apparently he broke up with his girlfriend
And she didn't like that
Motherfuckers never took the staircases either
In my neighborhood
When it gets dark
We get up to no good
There's no playing in the park
You better stay away
Stay far away from the alleyways
You could find rent in a better place
Than the streets where we would play
Hi! Nice to meet you I'm Ugly
I couldn't help but notice your chain's quite lovely
Mind if I borrow it
If not you can take the Glock swallow it
The instinct you got to fight don't follow it
This is real life where bullets pierce flesh
So if your life's worth whatever that's worth it's no stress
Just let go and I'll be on my way thanks come again
Next week I'll catch you and I'll rob you with this gun again
Bitches in my neighborhood after the date they'll set you up
When 5 of 'em bust in the door and beat your ass won't let you up
There's a growing demographic fools getting stuck
Set up by ratchet bitches pretending they tryna fuck
So when she's too eager for dick it sounds sus
Developed six senses hanging around sluts
No pictures around us just bitches with round butts
Other than those bitches no bitches around us
In my neighborhood
When it gets dark
We get up to no good
There's no playing in the park
You better stay away
Stay far away from the alleyways
You could find rent in a better place
Than the streets where we would play
The lyrics of Ugly's "In My Pocket" paint a vivid picture of the harsh and dangerous environment of his neighborhood. The opening lines describe a disturbing incident where a young man was shot with a crossbow while playing a game in the hallway. This sets the tone for the rest of the song, highlighting the violence and unpredictability that permeates the area. The reference to "Nicky Nicky Nine doors" adds a sense of childhood innocence juxtaposed with the harsh reality of the surroundings.
Ugly goes on to describe the sense of lawlessness and danger that engulfs the neighborhood after dark. He warns against venturing into alleyways and emphasizes the need to be cautious and vigilant at all times. The casual mention of robbery and violence as part of everyday life in the neighborhood paints a bleak picture of survival and self-preservation in such a hostile environment. The reference to firearms and theft further emphasizes the constant threat that residents face.
The lyrics also touch on the theme of betrayal and deception within the community. Ugly narrates how people can be lured into traps by individuals, particularly women, who feign interest only to exploit and harm them. The lyrics suggest a pervasive atmosphere of distrust and suspicion, where even intimate relationships can be used as tools for manipulation and violence. The portrayal of women as devious and dangerous reflects a perspective shaped by personal experiences and observations within the neighborhood.
Overall, "In My Pocket" serves as a raw and unfiltered commentary on the gritty realities of urban life in a rough neighborhood. The lyrics convey a sense of resignation and cynicism towards the harshness of the environment, where survival often depends on being street-smart and prepared for any threat. Through vivid storytelling and stark imagery, Ugly sheds light on the challenges and dangers faced by individuals living in such a volatile and unforgiving community.
Line by Line Meaning
Yo my neighborhood was crazy bro
The environment I grew up in was filled with chaos and danger
This kid got shot with a crossbow in the hallway playing
Violence was a common occurrence, even innocent play could lead to serious harm
Nicky Nicky Nine doors Swear to God
Pranks and games were not always harmless, sometimes resulting in dangerous situations
I went downstairs one time
I witnessed a disturbing event firsthand
This fucking guy was leaking out his stomach
I saw a man seriously injured and bleeding, likely due to violence
Apparently he broke up with his girlfriend
The violence was often fueled by personal disputes and relationships gone wrong
Motherfuckers never took the staircases either
Avoiding certain routes and ways of moving to steer clear of trouble
In my neighborhood when it gets dark
During nighttime, the atmosphere becomes more dangerous and unpredictable
We get up to no good
Engaging in activities that were mischievous or harmful
There's no playing in the park
The usual innocent pastimes were replaced with more risky behaviors
You better stay away
It was advised to keep a distance and avoid getting involved in the neighborhood's dangerous activities
Stay far away from the alleyways
Specific locations were known to be particularly hazardous and should be avoided
You could find rent in a better place
Living somewhere safer and more peaceful would be a wiser choice than the dangerous streets of the neighborhood
Than the streets where we would play
The streets that served as a playground were filled with danger and violence
