Crossfire
Xevvec Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Potions
High
Bona fide
Stiff living low
Poltergeists in the making
Promised all my family
That I'll make it
Getting sick of walking down to the station
But reminder to stay patient
Future life talent building up it's latent
Dream is true but lies
Patented malice on the pages
In a year I promise I be starting spitting on the stages
Be patient with me
Momma loves pushing on my dreams
But it seems dreams and cash ain't compatible team and able
To bring food on the table
Stable income
Hard to afford
When you don't know the system
So you end up swinging swords
At entities hoping billboards
Show the path and score
Life is poor
When lookin for hope
Grocery store
For a cent or a dollar
Canned trash
Spoiled and boiled
Most I could do for a barter
Is grab a bottle
You wanna sip of my life
Wanna taste absence of the lime light
Abstinence get the frame right
The swiftness of richness
Lift this sorrow ass working eleven fifty in kitchens
Looking back in hindsight
Still need to fill the will
Of spills bigger that Hollywood Hills
Skills don't account for paying bills
Wait until
The chance comes
All I can do now
And drown in gin or some
And chew tobacco gum
Fun until guns crossfire and your shit is run
One, two, three
Car shooting drums
One, two, and three
And your shit is done
In "Crossfire" by Xevvec, the lyrics depict the struggles and aspirations of the artist as he navigates through life and pursues his dreams. The song opens with a sense of frustration and exhaustion, with the singer feeling overwhelmed by empty promises and illusions. The reference to "bullshit potions" implies that he is tired of false assurances and desires something real and genuine.
Despite facing hardships and living in difficult circumstances, the singer remains determined to succeed. He expresses his commitment to his family, promising that he will make it in the music industry. He envisions creating a record and sharing it with the world. The lyrics also convey the singer's impatience with the slow progress he is making, but he reminds himself to stay patient, as success takes time.
The second verse delves into the artist's struggles with financial instability. He articulates the clash between pursuing his dreams and the need to provide for himself and his family. The lyrics suggest that the pursuit of artistic passions does not always align with financial stability. The mention of "swinging swords at entities" reflects his desperation and attempts to navigate a system that feels foreign and unfamiliar. The reference to a "grocery store for a cent or a dollar" portrays his dire circumstances and the limited options available to him.
The chorus emphasizes the desire for recognition and validation. The artist alludes to a yearning to be noticed and heard, longing for a taste of success and fulfillment. However, he recognizes that achieving this dream may come with sacrifices and consequences. The mention of "guns crossfire" suggests the danger and uncertainty he faces as he pursues his ambitions.
