It gave me chills the first time that I saw that nigga since he shot LaGhram. They had him locked down. he got his weight up, and now he swears he's the fuckin' man. No remorse, that niggas cold, he's runnin' shit now or so I'm told, word up the devil done stole his soul in fact, I heard he sold it long ago, no doubt to break out, from the ghetto that be making fiends out of moms, car alarms, packin' heat when the beef is on. Word is bond, son, in this triteness it's all the same, watch your back it's a god damn shame, who's fakin' jax, your best friend will sell you out and no doubt, he's makin' a name, he'd die for the fame, I don't want much I just want everything. Die for the fame. "Some get a little, and some get none, some catch a bad one" yo, that was my anthem. 17 long hard years of blood tears, nigga you were never there, nigga you would never care, fuck the word cause the world fucked me, you could take me outta' hard times, but you can't hard times outta' me. Run your shit, bitch ... we was tight but now I look out for myself, only for myself. I'm a changed man with a changed game plan, hung out together, grew up, you was my main man. But shit's just not the same; I'm in it for the fame. Childhood nightmare scenes that souped his head up, his broken heart and broken dreams got him mad fed up, the pain done got his eyes, he cried for the first time since his mother died when he was 5, sinkin' his sorrows in Jack D and Old E, just then he wasn't glad he reminded himself of his daddy who made the pipe his wife and hit it every night, his tears were thick, his thoughts were mad hectic he's not pretending, he's thinking of ending the reminiscing over hard times and hard luck, nobody gave a fuck again the agony struck, he the barrel in his mouth, bit down, and just bucked.

    i think the song is about how these two kids grew up together and how the singers friend betrayed him by sellin him out. i think the last part of the song is that frind that betrayed the singer. he killed himself for the shit he'd done. too bad people dont know about etc. they are awesome

Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
Hayalperest
This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere. In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.
