Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Story 'bout a black man
Pulling white hoes 'cause they was fucking
With his black skin
Young nigga been trapping
He ain't peep he getting trapped in
Do it for the team 'cause fam'
Treat him like a trash can
Story 'bout this white kid
Daddy credit score impeccable
He live incredible
He always busting off an edible
Ain't nothing medical
Only 'cause his skin, he federal
He not detectable his shorty and his homies
They was laughing in his face
'Til he ran a fucking bag up and
He had to do the race
Sold the loudest doja to this
White nigga named Chase
He ain't know he had a wire
Adding traction to the case
Chase was on his ass though
He with them coppers
They was camping just like Lazlo
He smoking heavy
He just tryna get his last blow
This shit a cycle
Treat this nigga like his last bro
Knock him off like Smash Bros
It ain't no snitching
It can't really be that complicated
And he got caught up 'cause
All his homies was cooperating
You think you love 'em 'til
They get yo' ass incarcerated
Obligation ain't a damn thing
When you ain't compensated
But, Chase was happy that he
Caught another black dude
Go back to the stage and tell
His partner 'bout this afternoon
He pulling missions
But they treat him like a bad dude
Better hide your doja 'fore this
Cracker come and catch you (yeah)
Better hide your doja, better hide your
Better hide your doja 'cause the
Police finna blow you high
You move suspicious
Then the police finna blow the nine
They ain't got no limit's
They gon' push you to the borderline
They don't wanna see a nigga winning
Put you close to God (Ayy)
They don't wanna see a nigga winning
Put him close to God
They don't wanna see a nigga (Uh)
They don't wanna see him winning
Put him by some angels
Niggas hating, hating
I can really see your angle
Niggas hating, hating, put that (Ayy, ayy)
Put a bullet hole in his body, he a bagel
We gon' have that (Oh, ayy, damn)
The song "Duality" by Your Stepdad delves into the contrasting experiences of a black man and a white man in society. It highlights the systemic racism and challenges faced by the black man, while also shedding light on the privilege and advantages enjoyed by the white man.
The lyrics depict the black man's struggles, focusing on his involvement in the drug trade to support his family. Despite his efforts, he faces constant disrespect and mistreatment from both his own community and law enforcement. On the other hand, the white man is portrayed as coming from a privileged background with a stable financial situation. He indulges in recreational drug use without fear of legal consequences.
However, the narrative takes a darker turn as the white man unknowingly becomes involved with law enforcement and ends up implicating the black man. The song emphasizes the inherent biases and betrayal within the justice system, where cooperation with authorities leads to the black man's incarceration.
The lyrics highlight themes of race, privilege, systemic oppression, and the harsh reality faced by individuals from marginalized communities. It serves as a means of shedding light on the disparities and injustices prevalent in society, while also challenging stereotypes and promoting understanding and empathy.
