Redemption
X-Calibur Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Amazing grace to bathing apes to blazing tapes
To face time no face to face the state of grace is
Race baiting racist cops spitting in our faces
Satan talking to atheist pick pocket aces and since
The proclamation emancipatory status
Drinks with Noreaga interrupted conversations
Statues of white guys taboo and white lies
Fast food fried rice shorty ass looking the right size
Unemployment
Treating labor like they unimportant
Drill rap and gun endorsements
We run in Jordans
How come the poorest
Carry the rich while they bury chips
Monetary flips mentality gotta be very fit
Money is everything and everything imagery
Beauty standards model chicks
Anatomic symmetry
What about the regular chicks
And all the pressure caused
Went to get some surgery
That bill was what a Tesla cost
It's hurts me in my chest and
Core it hurts me when I press record
Gotta get it off my chest
I gotta give these gems to y'all
They wanna keep our voice muzzled
No choice but to hustle
We employ muscle cant avoid struggle
We don't know subtle
We know lies no fly zone we know flies
Too many people we know die
We know courts and we know trials both types
Most nights nose tight sniffles from cold nights
We know fights know our rights
Know what having no rights
Feels like late payments we know having no lights
Discrimination off skin tone dress code
Hair styles been bold FICO red lines
Headlines for murder never good news hood news
Good foods athletics who making the good moves
Scammers swindlers other side good dudes
Finish last look at that luxury and good views
Star making system bars make the prison
You know the old adage
Get the car then the woman
Sexual harassment and professional assassins
Hard to meditate disconnect
To lessen the attachment
It's all mathematics we all passive addicts
Looking for that magic hard to civilize the savage
Internalize pain
With what they fertilize our brain
Borrowed time that we living on
Till we burn out the flame
While we buffering the suffering recovering from
Trauma from the past morning time
I run to the sun
Passionate ones work with no worries of outcome
Cause you know time
The only thing can never outrun
Friendships wither relationship we re consider
Wanna be paid in full
Like the way we leave from dinner
Stomach stretched turn my phone off
I'm done with texts
Tipsy from the rum effect or a Dilla drum set
Our favorite people leaves us
But destiny always meet us
From a cell to fetus hoping that
Tomorrow will redeem us
Junior Demus repeat myself till I'm heard
Feel myself till I'm worth built ya whole universe
I rose beyond the curse
Seen a man read the Coran in church
Sub-atomic work cellular level
My whole biology change
With my psychology the dollars came they on to me
Created an ecology on top of my game
Full automony greatest erected
Kylie Irving when he change direction
Legend yo my name reflects it
Everyday a different template
I'm the same apprentice
Who surpassed the master
And then attracted rapture
I just snap and capture
Moments of my life in all in honesty
Illy at this rap thing on my illiadic odyssey
Illmatic policy but never static obviously
I tell myself just do it if it's destiny it gotta be
This is strength capsule drink it with some ginger tea
Optimist religiously walk with invincibility
Conquer habitually like Pac rolling picture me
Top role potentially for y'all my contingency
Credentials in the street that's never tied into no beef
No Designer Tee I make my own you can sign to me
This is geometry Tenshinhan




Pensions stocks and bond
Keep ya attention when I drop them bombs

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of X-Calibur's song Redemption are multifaceted, tackling a range of societal issues such as racism, poverty, discrimination, and body image. The song is a reflection of the current state of society, where the promised "amazing grace" is overshadowed by the "race baiting racist cops spitting in our faces." The reference to "bathing apes" signifies the materialistic world and how society places value on such items, rather than important values such as compassion and respect. The use of "blazing tapes" and "guns endorsements" highlights the glorification of violence in hip hop music, while the mention of "fast-food fried rice" and "model chicks" brings attention to the unhealthy body image standards of society.


X-Calibur also delves into the issue of inequality, specifically with regard to labor and finances. He points out the injustice of the "poorest carrying the rich while they bury chips," and how the model of monetary wealth must shift. He highlights that "money is everything and everything imagery," alluding to how appearances matter more than genuine character. Furthermore, X-Calibur addresses the struggles faced by those from marginalized communities, with references to discrimination based on "skin tone" and "dress code," and how such experiences are reflected in negative news headlines.


Overall, Redemption is a thought-provoking song with strong political undertones that prompts listeners to reflect on the societal issues it addresses.
