This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.

yessir
turn everything up some more
the drums you know, the music and shit
(holla back) i'm goin for it now
(holla back) yessir
(holla back) hey yo
[Verse 1:]
in the heart of a re-up, its sumthin like a g-up
M-C-A fingering that b-up or that c-up,
fiends creep up with their flesh lookin beat up,
and my tennis ball is stuffed with enough work to fill a tea cup,
he opened up his jacket, i opened up my packet,
he pulled out his money, i'm pullin out that honey,
he stuff it in his stem* soon as he took it from me,
yellow teeth chaffed lips and his nose is runny,
he lit that shit, he hit that quick,
as if i was high i asked him where them bricks at, shit,
he smiled as if he was payin homege,
he said in the back of the apartment where they be selling ganja,
but beware of the AK held by HM Thomas,
son gotta keep him high in them bottoms or some old pyjamas,
i said shiiit ma nigga take another hiiit,
we ran up in that crib with them Uzis and them Sigs,
give up the work or we tyin up the kids,
did i get that work? what you think, yes i did,
i didn't, actually that wasnt true and if you aspire to hustle thats a how-to to you
[stem-thin glass tube used for smoking crack]
[Chorus:]
this that shit make you wanna hustle,
carry square guns shootin metal wit muffles,
trunk full of cash wit a couple of duffles,
so we can sip wine and eat a bundle of truffles
We gonna show you how to hustle (holla back)
so you can style all these sneakers (holla back)
so you can style all these sneakers (ya follow that)
so you can style all these sneakers (well follow dis)
[Verse 2:]
its incredible how i etch my plans out,
to be physically subtle and financially stand out,
you should see me stick that big S on my anso*,
and literally call destructure so no one can touch ya,
teenage girls'll love ya and models wanna fuck ya,
ice cream ya way on to somebodys magazine cover,
so much money that the lid threatens eruption and the bank says you dont have to call like you're Usher,
and i ain't kill or sell drugs to nobody,
but i know niggas that kill and stretch work like pilates,
nigga the crack house was literally right beside me,
when them fiends hit that shit they kicked jus like karate,
we named one bruce lie,
one slim kelly who issued too much quicker than luis rank and m belly,
yeah i escaped but theres nothing you can tell me,
cause thought i paperchase my memories won't fail me
[anso-type of gun belt]
[Chorus:]
this that shit make you wanna hustle,
carry square guns shootin metal wit muffles,
trunk full of cash wit a couple of duffles,
so we can sip wine and eat a bundle of truffles
We gonna show you how to hustle (holla back)
so you can style all these sneakers (holla back)
so you can style all these sneakers (ya follow that)
so you can style all these sneakers (well follow dis)
[Verse 3:]
in the hood wake up to the hammer noise,
sound like the work of my jerks the swagger boys,
pull up and them eyes wide open,
stack of toys,
if your girl want to leave with us thats her choice,
the feelin throbbin i got it and poppin phenomanal,
nigga signed a million dollar cheque wit his pyjamas on,
film it like a porno no need to re-word it,
nigga the enzo jus came and i aint have to jerk it,
yeah niggas you heard it the perversion of stars,
i guess if i go in my garage it'd be a menage,
niggas cant hate on this like summer in '84,
when we high off potato chips,
new cript and florida were the soul core corridors,
yes them babies mine, fuck i need to go on my reefa,
rewire my brain, aspire to attain,
tell jacob light on the platinum keep the fire in the chain,
yikes i mean ice on the motherfucker gleam,
i guess if my ice is fire it leave you niggas singed,
see theres you theres me and theres between,
if you remove the between you see i achievin you dreams
[Chorus:]
this that shit make you wanna hustle,
carry squirt guns shootin metal wit muffles,
trunk full of cash wit a couple of duffles,
so we can sip wine and eat a bundle of truffles
We gonna show you how to hustle (holla back)
so you can style all these sneakers (holla back)
so you can style all these sneakers (ya follow that)
so you can style all these sneakers (well follow dis)

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.

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.

This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.

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.
