Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Greatness
Yeah
(Greatness Jones)
Came into the game
Knew nothing 'bout the game in which I came into
Thought I had no freedom
Roses are red, so I order violets
Man are getting bored
I'm getting bored of violence
Started smoking that was auto-pilot
I pray to God we multiply 'cause we're all divided
I'm beefin' with my bruddah does my momma know?
Nan's gone, come we get grands for my momma though?
Feed the family, never trust another hoe
The gyal are undercover, under covers in their under clothes
I can't let go of my release
Words fail when music speaks
I was only 15 late nights in the 15
Came into the game
Knew nothing 'bout the game in which I came into
Thought I had no freedom
'Cause I never had a chain or two
Me and Bonkaz made 'em wanna see you shine now
No behaviour, I need a timeout
Me and my real friends can Ty Dolla $ign now
It's no more parties in district 'til it dies down
So we can live it up
Bring a table to the suttin' just to sit with us
Never used to fit in, now I'm in some fitting stuff
On some get rich ting, 'cuz you can't be rich enough
My entire existence, I don't think exists enough
The truth is
I don't love my momma like my sister does
I ain't saying
I don't love my momma, it's just different love
Told my girl
Special cloth alert, we're just different love
Then I said, question me then I'll question your loyalty
Show me love show me loyalty
Then I'ma show you loyalty
Young fire, Old flame rap royalty
This how I get into the game
Knew nothing bout this game in which I came into
'Cause I was only 15 late nights in the 15
I don't wanna hurt nobody
I'm the type of boss that doesn't wanna over work nobody
Had nobody when I weren't nobody
Saw the light in the dark when there weren't nobody
Still I made a little change
Then I changed what I made, had to make bigger sums
Playing slum village 'cuz I'm in the slums
Mind on my money, I can't think of love
And this made me so selfish that I don't even give a fuck
I don't even know what I've been through
Maybe it's been so cold I'm cool (Turn up)
Came into the game
Knew nothing 'bout the game in which I came into
Cause I was only 15, late nights in the 15
In Avelino's song "Late Nights in the 15", the rapper reflects on his humble beginnings in the music industry while also exploring themes of family, loyalty, and inner turmoil. The song begins with a declaration of greatness, before Avelino admits that he knew nothing about the game he was entering as a young artist. He reflects on his lack of financial wealth, stating that he never had chains or expensive items, and how he started smoking as a way to cope with the pressures of the music industry.
However, Avelino also touches on his desire for unity and togetherness, stating that he prays that people can come together despite their differences. He acknowledges that there are conflicts within his own family, but still holds a desire to provide for them and keep them close. Avelino also admits to feeling conflicted about his own emotions, expressing that he loves his mom in a different way than he loves his sister and his girlfriend.
Throughout the song, Avelino maintains his focus on success and the pursuit of "getting rich". He acknowledges that his past experiences have made him selfish and almost callous to the needs of others, but he still strives to attain financial stability and escape his background in the "slums" of Hackney. The repeated refrain of "Late Nights in the 15" serves as a powerful reminder of his humble beginnings and the hard work he has put in to achieve his current success.
Overall, "Late Nights in the 15" is a poignant reflection on the realities of the music industry and the struggles of growing up in a challenging environment. It is a testament to Avelino's dedication and ambition, while also acknowledging the difficulties of balancing family, love, and personal growth.
