What's this song about?
Generate meaning
1
'81 was the year shit hit the fan in a major way
2
I sat there for an inspiring artist
3
Almost 20 years after the fact I'm still on my hustle
4
Diggin' graves for an inspiring artist
5
Pushing daises up
6
And never compromise the arts and make a crowd clap
7
Shit on since the first show
8
But we turned feces to fertilizer
9
So when you diss it's just food for the flowers to grow
10
Sold 15 plus out of backpacks, no trunks
11
Too young to drive but live hip hop
12
And the kids are upstate kids that thought rap
13
Was past tense, hence the last name
14
Got name for playing basements and such
15
And making songs that our friends loved
16
And when the fish bowl got too small to hold the goldfish
17
We filled our gills with water and ripped that mother fucker like
18
So take a step back and a breath in
19
Let it out now, put your chin up
20
You can do it, tiger, you a man now
21
And in your dream it's time to do the best you can now
22
So break ourselves down
23
And build ourselves up in disappointment
24
How fragile we are
25
So fragile we are, we just don't show it
26
Shake up this town
27
And shoot down the stars for our enjoyment
28
So sexy we are
29
So sexy we are, we just don't know it
30
This is what you wanted right?
31
How many nights were spent pouring out your guts, dummy?
32
How many punishments endured for fucking up in school?
33
How many teachers proved wrong by writing songs instead?
34
(My point exactly)
35
But you knew you had a spark, did you?
36
Something producin' to the dreams your pop's dreams lent you
37
Stay focused when nothing seemed to make sense
38
Stealing verses with that cash's clay confidence
39
Sometimes you stubborn as shit, that's the McCoy in you
40
You learn to be a man without losing the boy in you
41
(Just do your thing man)
42
So take a step back and a breath in
43
Let it out now, put your chin up
44
You can do it, tiger, you a man now
45
And in your dream it's time to do the best you can now
46
So take a step back and a breath in
47
Let it out now, put your chin up
48
You can do it, tiger, you a man now
49
And in your dream it's time to do the best you can now
50
So break ourselves down
51
And build ourselves up in disappointment
52
How fragile we are
53
So fragile we are, we just don't show it
54
Shake up this town
55
And shoot down the stars for our enjoyment
56
So sexy we are
57
So sexy we are, we just don't know it
58
We break ourselves down
59
And build ourselves up in disappointment
60
So fragile we are
61
So fragile we are, we just don't show it
62
Shake up this town
63
And shoot down the stars for our enjoyment
64
So sexy we are
65
So sexy we are, we just don't know it
66
So take a step back and a breath in
67
Let it out now, put your chin up
68
You can do it, tiger, you a man now
69
And in your dream it's time to do the best you can now
70
We break ourselves down
71
And build ourselves up in disappointment
72
So fragile we are
73
So fragile we are, we just don't show it
74
Shake up this town
75
And shoot down the stars for our enjoyment
76
So sexy we are
77
So sexy we are, we just don't know it
78
We break ourselves down
79
And build ourselves up in disappointment
80
So fragile we are
81
So fragile we are, we just don't show it
82
Shake up this town
83
And shoot down the stars
