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.
(The Mekanix)
S-N-double-O, don't forget the P, pimp
A hundred million later and I'm still on that G shit
Been all around the world on my LBC shit
2-1-3 click, wish Nate could see this
Recognize game when it's in your face
And when I pull up, all you hear is "Everlasting Bass"
Say what up to my young life, give dap to the G's
Kiss some aunties and models that's happy to see me
"Snoopy D-O-double, where you been?"
On Highway 110 doin' a hundred and ten
Back in the buildin' like I forgot somethin'
Mekanix on the beat, you know it knock, cousin
Flow dippin' and slidin', Crippin' and ridin', sittin' on candy paint
Dressin' and finessin', lookin' like a blessin'
Makin' all the hoes faint, the Dogg
Four-fifteens with the Zap on my lap
Ridin' through the ghetto, all you hear is the slap
Everybody throwin' up gang signs (Crip)
Throwin' up gang signs (Suwoop)
Four-fifteens with the Zap on my lap
Ridin' through the ghetto, all you hear is the slap
Everybody throwin' up gang signs (where you from cuh?) (Crip)
Niggas throwin' up gang signs
Four-nick shells, somethin' fat on my lap
Couple suckas that'll tell you how I cracked on they hat
Couple suckas that'll tell you we ain't dishin' out passes
Couple suckas that ain't here and we'll piss on they ashes, yeah
Twistin' up my fingers, send a signal like the blinkers
Get you hit with all these blickies, Nipsey screamin' out the speakers
Hit me on my beeper if it's urgent or you tweakin'
Free my lil' bruh from Kiefer, if he snitchin', you can keep him (yeah)
Show the pink slip if you ain't leased it, nigga, shut up
I just stuck my dick all in her mouth, she actin' stuck-up
Why they do the most on Instagram, but never run up?
Probably 'cause I'm ridin' with that yeeky, I got one up (yeah)
Membership, ask about the Mozzy, niggas been the shit
Benefits, profit off they work 'cause that's what business is
The tentative, all I heard was dividends, I'm all in
On Bloods, we put in labor with kaydas, it wasn't no callin' in
Four-fifteens with the Zap on my lap
Ridin' through the ghetto, all you hear is the slap
Everybody throwin' up gang signs (Crip)
Throwin' up gang signs (Suwoop)
Four-fifteens with the Zap on my lap
Ridin' through the ghetto, all you hear is the slap
Everybody throwin' up gang signs (where you from cuh?) (Crip)
Niggas throwin' up gang signs (Suwoop)
Still sippin' gin and juice while smokin' marijuana
I bet you never blew with Obama
Crip walkin' with my homegirl Martha
While I'm passin' joints to Madonna
Who wanna smoke with Snoop? Let's have a smoke or two
Puff, puff, pass, that's what real smokers do
You was smokin' on Gary Payton, I was smokin' with Gary Payton (haha)
We not the same, stop hatin'
Triple gold Daytons and the walls is white
Never made it to the league, but live a baller's life (yeah)
Rest in peace Kobe and Gigi
LA ain't been the same since we lost the homie Nipsey (Neighborhood)
Pour out a little liquor for Pac
And while you at it, say a prayer for the homie Doc
When Snoop drop, I make the world go crazy
It still ain't nothin' but a G thang, baby
I got four-fifteens with the Zap on my lap
Ridin' through the ghetto, all you hear is the slap
Everybody throwin' up gang signs (Crip)
Throwin' up gang signs (Suwoop)
Four-fifteens with the Zap on my lap
Ridin' through the ghetto, all you hear is the slap
Everybody throwin' up gang signs (where you from cuh?) (Crip)
Niggas throwin' up gang signs (Suwoop, The Mekanix)
Another one of those Bay Area slappers
Bread in hand, cheese and crackers
You understand what I'm sayin'?
Big Boss Dogg, The Mekanix
Huh, what's happenin', Fab?
It's a dope era we livin' in, man
Ayy, if you don't understand that, you don't understand nothin'
You under-dig what I mean?
We just choppin' game right now, man, with the Zap, man
Got the Zap board in my hand
Tunin' this shit to ayy, turn that bass up a little bit like
Yeah, uh-huh
Turn them highs down right, yeah, right there
Yeah
Now bring that hook back
Bring that shit back, Loco
Come on
I got four-fifteens with the Zap on my lap (yes sir)
Ridin' through the ghetto, all you hear is the slap
Everybody throwin' up gang signs (Crip)
My niggas throwin' up gang signs (Suwoop)
Four-fifteens with the Zap on my lap
Ridin' through the ghetto, all you hear is the slap
Everybody throwin' up gang signs (where you from cuh?) (Crip)

I Can't Go To Sleep
Wu-Tang Clan
Wu-Tang Clan
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.
