It's like many knuckleheads who want to do the eye to eye contact
Not knowing O.C. is ready for combat
I tried to ignore the son with the advacant attitude
Stick in my face for gratitude yeah
Just the other night on the train
Me my cousin Boo was on our way up to club Galaloo
I kind of had a fight so we took our 25's and that
We had juice with the bouncer on the inside
Mad Jamaicans faking nigga fronting knowing they're Americans
We fronted us off from the embarrassing
Some old poor face fellow try to star me in the eye and give a wammy
He almost caught a grammy
Just when I was about to reach for my glock
Boo whispered to me yo!
"O O let it slide"
It ain't worth smoking a minute worth of lead
So to break the tension I
Broke him in the head

I let it slide, I let it slip on by
Giving you one last try to kill it with the eye
New day same shit occurred in this time
I was asked what I was looking at not knowing he was grassed
This spark the beef and
I was gonna finish it off but turns out
This nigga was soft he got
Afraid from the way about the stance glancing to my left and right
Put a basket a man insight
He'll see the whole thing if I decide to do a buckwild move
So what I turn it in shall I choose, ha!
Fire my steel and take the chance
Of being bagged and ship up north for a long long ?
I ain't for it so I flash the cloud
He saw the nickle plate
Almost having a day to die
I wonder why
Chumps want to pick on I
They be like setting it off
And I be letting it slide
I don't know what they be seeing
But one time in a conflict
I flip, turn into an unstable human being

I let it slide, I let it slip on by
Giving you one last try to kill it with the eye

When I'm flowing with my girl I feel it the most
Beef coming so close like a champagne toast
On the train, in the city, down the way
Down her way, I take it upon myself and say niggas is gay
What you trying to prove?
Can't move him out and with a stare
But when a brother pull a trunk and sink it ain't fair
Two wrongs don't make a right
But the philosophy of a fight, fella
Used to prolong you life, I
Rolled like it was enemy
Why would you pretend to be
Some motherfucker men is to fight to kill Kenney, I
Be rappin' son's trying flamboyant and
Put on a smurf 'cause you staring is annoying and
No matter how much I try to avoid noise from feeling in with bad day
Starring in my grill again
Or try to hypnotize with the eye starring
Retinified be tearsful, to your family lives a day
No fronting because you couldn't stop my glock so
Time ran out 'cause you punch your own glock

I let it slide, I let it slip on by
Giving you one last try to kill it with the eye

Dreamwalker
Silent Planet
I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.

Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.

Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.

American Town
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran shares a short story of reconnecting with an old flame on “American Town.” The track is about a holiday Ed Sheeran spends with his countrywoman who resides in America. The two are back together after a long period apart, and get around to enjoying a bunch of fun activities while rekindling the flames of their romance.
