Sanctuary
V-3 Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

If it's up it's stuck
I don't give a fuck no
All my niggas round me
Get money and fuck hoes
And I keep that pistol in my pants
Chopper Macarena make you dance
If it's up it's stuck
I don't give a fuck no
All my niggas round me
Get money and fuck hoes
And I keep that pistol in my pants
Chopper Macarena make you dance
When I'm in my hood I gotta keep a blicky
Moving through the trenches man this shit get tricky
Nowadays I can't even tell who against me
And who really with me
This shit lookin fishy
I know that I been up on my grind
So I know that it's only a matter of time
Til I get that busted down Richie time piece
With two bad bitches both lookin siamese
Keep it goin
Heard a couple niggas tryna set me up
My niggas on go so ain't no lettin up
Cause if it's up it's stuck
I don't give a fuck no
All my niggas round me
Get money and fuck hoes
And I keep that pistol in my pants
Chopper Macarena make you dance
Couple days ago I bagged a baddie off the block
Found out through the grapevine she was fuckin with a opp
He found out and got mad so he tried to call that shot
Beefin over bitches had to tell that nigga stop that
Cause me and my niggas a push yo top back
You don't want no smoke dont catch no contact
You don't want no cancer
Nina Macarena that bitch turn you to a dancer
Woah
I got all this new drip
Mirror cool like cool whip
Swerving in that brand new new whip
You still push a Buick
That's probably why yo bitch choosin
Man this amusing
You niggas be super goofy
Beefin over groupies
Why these niggas always wanna beef over these lame hoes
I would never beef over my side bitch or my main hoe
Charge it to the game
Don't speak on my name
This shit ain't the same cause
If it's up it's stuck
I don't give a fuck no
All my niggas round me
Get money and fuck hoes
And I keep my pistol in my pants
Chopper Macarena make you dance
My name ringing in the streets but I feel worthless at times
Laying low I'm out of reach cause it's a circus sometimes
I got fired from the gig I started serving nicks dimes
Hoping Don get through his bid that shit hurt me at times
Lil sis moved out the crib she said I'm irking that's fine
Tried to hold her down but shit just wasn't workin
You know it's ups and downs some days I'm cool some days I'm hurting
Told my man that that's a CI he still went and served em
What we flipping wasn't burgers trunk full I'm nervous
It was too much traffic neighbors calling bout disturbance
I was hiding ratchets sweatsuits ain't tired of max's
Wearing Prada jackets niggas took the style can have it
I got no time for chatting
Multiple dimes I'm passing
You thought this shit was gone be over damn uh
You thought this shit was gone be over it's forever lasting
I'm giving bitches the cold shoulder we ain't interacting come on
Why these niggas always wanna beef over these lame hoes
I would never beef over my side bitch or my main hoe
Charge it to the game
Don't speak on my name
This shit ain't the same cause
If it's up it's stuck
I don't give a fuck no
All my niggas round me
Get money and fuck hoes
And I keep my pistol in my pants

I actually love this theme it really drives home.

That here above the skys of pandora on an old rustbucket of a ship. A rag tag band of outcasts killers,losers disillusioned soldiers and broken remnants of the borderlands universe. live together working towards a common goal and making the best of what they have, which is basically nothing at all. Stand united against a chaotic and unfair universe./

In this messed up world where Corporations littely nuke planets for fun, and twisted superhumans look to become gods while genocideing thousands upon thousands of people daily. Where every man women and child can be bought sold and thrown away like garbage. Where every single day you are tempted to sell out and give little parts of your soul to the darkness that makes up this storys universe. this small unimpressive cargo ship stands in open defiance. This place has become a home for so many survivors and lost souls.

A super human that must learn to be human again after loseing that which allowed her to fight(lil)
A robot with no purpose(Flack)
A solder with no war left to fight(Moze)
A hitman who quit(Zane)
A mechanic who lost her brother(Ellie)
A Formor bandit women who looked to give her children a better life, but lost a son.(Moxy)
An apprentice who lost her master(Aya)
A Siren who looked for a challange and was faced with the knowledge that she could have become a monster(Amara)

Its such a damn good story even though the story and deaper lore is completely optional and often hidden.

This is such an easy track to get lost in it's really hard to describe. Most everyone playing this game is about in their 20's, I'd wager (and hope, lmao), and we've all come to grow up a fair bit since our amazing memories in 2 and its DLCs. Adult life is something most of us aren't strangers to now, and childhood is a distant but fond memory.

then this song comes on. Everything comes back.

We remember the nights we stayed up just staring at the screen, playing anything, not even BL2 - just playing. Spending our time how we wanted to, without a care in the world, even if tomorrow might've brought something we weren't looking forward to. What mattered is that we were in the moment, having the times of our lives, together, even if we were alone. Our generation had it all right there in front of us, even if I'd bet we all don't really have that, now.

This song recreates that feeling so well it's crazy. It takes me back to when I'd spend countless hours building dirt castles in Minecraft at my dad's, would play Charlie Murder with him and watch Regular Show, and when I was alone, have 2014s-ish Markiplier's 'Murder at Masquerade Manor' or 'Drunk Minecraft' on as ambience while I played the hours away. It takes me back to those time-and-again XP boost farms in the Torgue Bar in BL2 at my mom's, or when I'd spend hours playing BO2 Zombies.

I miss the early-to-mid 2010's, man. We all do, I feel.
Thank you for uploading this song. It's hard to say how it makes me feel, but it's easy to say what it makes me recall. It's a huge help to have stuff like that in the hectic world of today. Always keep what was in mind, and remember - things can be like that again if you keep pushing for better.

Peace out, and have a good night.
