In regards to the meaning of this song:
Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.”
That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.
[Repeat 2x]
We live in la la, we smokin' la la
Fuck wit the da, Boo boo ba ba
Nigga, Ha ha!
[Chorus:]
Get outta pocket, we might just whup yo ass
Pull out a rocket, we might just take yo cash
And when I cock it, we might step out and blast
But we ain't gon' let that bullshit pass
I used to be a young phenom, like Lebron
Now I'm doin' shit beyond, Geghis Kahn
Peon, You can't pass on Deon
The best rapper in the world ain't a European
Look, Respect my gangsta, Nigga obey
And I been rich since my first pro day, Ask o shea
West ridin' is my fotay
And will the hustle ever stop? Nigga, no way
Niggaz can't fuck wit dub s see
Gang related and leavin' 'em leakin' like studs
See-walkin out of the sc, lettin' the tech breathe
Till I rest in peace, dub gon rep these streets
K Mac is the one, Nigga fuck Neo
No love, hit 'em up with the dub wherever we go
My game so cold, the hoes call me sub zero
Oh, You know that nigga pimpin' Ken? That's my hero
[Chorus: Repeat 2X]
It's catastrophic when I stop it
Atomic, demonic and off that chronic
It's ironic, how I flip them phonics
So fucked up, the product of Reaganomics
Shit, I heard the price of yo done went up
My gun buddy had a drop, So the pistola went up
The heater hot, Nigga burn ya skin up
The fo fifth hold a dime, And I shoot all ten up
I'm about guns, fuck roses, I breeze over parole
Some man captured some folks, The locstas never fold
Bacon soda aromas, Niggaz swingin' chrome motors
Dickey bombin' folks and shootin' out of stolen automotives
I got diamonds on my fingers and watch on arms
Stay out a nigga way and you won't be harmed
If I catch a bitch, I'll see for sure she'll be charmed
When I'm rollin' through the hood, a nigga heavily armed
[Chorus: Repeat 2X]
Shit, my life is like a rap show
I'm out the back door, beyatch, so beware of the strap, bro
'Cause that's how my blast go
Ice Cube is an asshole just like Castro
Nigga, I spit flames, leave permanent scars
Connect gang bang and we g's about ours
And ain't shit changed, still stripes and stars
And I'm done already, ain't got but four bars
Holdin' it down down down stoned down bustin' rounds
Dub, ghetto rich nigga since bow down
Squad down, sendin' flicks to my niggaz locked down
Doin' dolas in streets wit my ragtop down
Yo, write a book 'bout a nigga like me
I got loot like an athlete just signed wit Nike
You lose ya life if ya ever get sheisty
Could Mac ever run out of snaps? Not likely
[Chorus: Repeat 2X]
We live in la la, we smokin' la la
Fuck wit the da, Boo boo ba ba
Nigga, Ha ha!
[Chorus:]
Get outta pocket, we might just whup yo ass
Pull out a rocket, we might just take yo cash
And when I cock it, we might step out and blast
But we ain't gon' let that bullshit pass

Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
Hayalperest
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.

Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”

There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
