      Difference is the rappers who flaunt the "lyrical" image are low-key trash. As far as I know, not one line is wasted in this song. Lyrical Miracles fill their songs with arbitrary big words, fast rapping, and overused flows that brings nothing new or interesting to the table. Then they got the nerve to be on a high horse

      @lildragon6415 4 года назад +12

      @@monetmonroe4644 So why don't people show up for the BET awards? I think he's talking about that.
      He mentioned things like shoot first like a 2 guard instead of point. A point guard in basketball passes the ball and helps other players score whereas a 2 guard is a shooting guard, aka shooting a gun. He wants more point guards in his community who help each other instead of shooting each other.
      He also said you give someone a rope and he hangs himself. So that's self destruction.
      So going with that theme, I think not wanting a BET award is about not wanting to recognize an award from the black community. Instead, they want a Grammy, aka recognition from white people.
      I believe Cole wants black people to be more independent and to help each other and recognize each other. To stop asking for white people to recognize you. Recognize yourselves. Accept your BET award and celebrate it!

    My niggas pick me up and we gon' light the city up as if the sun had the night shift
    And paint the town red for my nigga found dead too soon
    [Verse 1]
    Yeah
    To the left of that decimal, I need seven figures to play the joint
    Turn up your decibels, peep how I decimate a joint
    Check out my projects like them workers that section 8 appoints
    And you’ll see how I flipped, like exclamation points
    My niggas shoot first as if they never played the point, more two guards
    Enough straps to fill four Uhauls
    More death than World War II caused around these parts
    We pour the brown just to drown these thoughts
    Of black corpses in county morgues, Lord, those images hauntin'
    I ain’t been sleep yet, it’s 10 in the morning
    I’m sendin' a warnin', a problem with me is like the BET hip hop awards
    I’m startin' to see you niggas don’t want it
    I’m sick of this flauntin', from niggas I know for sho' ain’t got mo dough than Cole
    Trash rappers, ass backwards, tryna go toe to toe
    We laugh at ya, staff strapped up on top the totem pole, to blast at ya
    Bass masters, look how they tote a pole
    Gotta know the ropes and the protocol
    Or they gon for sho blow your clothes half off like a promo code
    Made a lil' tune called "Folding Clothes" and a nigga still ain’t known to fold
    Under pressure, well you know what coal do
    Make a diamond, they just rhymin', me, I’m quotin' gold
    One phone call, let you canceled like a homophobe
    In this PC culture, address me as the goat, like they call Chief Keef Sosa, in my sectional like a fuckin' three piece sofa
    I'm known as the chosen one
    Another dead body lay frozen that’s how it go sometimes
    When niggas weighin' coke just like the pro’s and cons
    Well I ain’t with that sleepin' underground like a gopher, so I go for mines
    [Chorus]
    Everything come back around full circle
    Why do lies sound pleasant but the truth hurtful
    Everybody gotta cry once in a while
    But how long will it take before you smile
    This is that come back to life shit
    My niggas pick me up and we gon light the city up as if the sun had the night shift
    And paint the town red for my nigga found dead too soon
    Now I know why they call it blue (Yeah)
    [Verse 2]
    Survival at all costs, everyday niggas get logged off
    Bodies get hauled off
    Passin' a funeral procession while holdin' my breath in the car I thought
    At times, it be feelin the devil be winnin' but do that mean God lost?
    Just got off the phone with my nigga, he back in the kennel, my dog lost
    I brought him round close to me
    Before but he
    Became addicted to clout and all the hoes we’d meet
    I slowly peeped jealousy on his breath, whenever he spoke to me
    Like on the low, he feelin' like in my shoes is where he supposed to be
    I tried to ignore the signs, but there in the back of my mind, it felt
    Like lettin' a nigga come sleep on your couch but he eatin' up all yo' groceries
    My nigga repeated this quote to me, I felt it’s potency
    Said, "Most of these niggas gon hang themselves, just give 'em the rope and see"
    I headed that, and what got showed to me
    Was screamin' that, some niggas you gotta leave em back unfortunately
    We seen the trap, niggas be on that demon clock resultantly
    They fiend to clap, as often as the Genius App misquotin' me
    Meanwhile, I see that yo' diamonds is glistenin'
    I’m glad that you shinin' but need I remind you my niggas is diamond and nickelin'
    Scrapin' up whatever coin they can find, the pettiest crime they committin' it
    Just to get by for a limited time, the steepest of mountains they tryna climb
    I’m here tryna find the derivative
    You niggas don’t feel me, you see the clout
    You don’t see the real me
    If I was sick, you niggas wouldn’t heal me
    Therefore I’m healin' myself, gettin' in tune with my God
    Slowly revealin' myself, buildin' my wealth
    A nigga touch mine, I'ma kill 'em myself
    (chorus)
    Everything come back around full circle
    Why do lies sound pleasant but the truth hurtful
    Everybody gotta cry once in a while
    But how long will it take before you smile

I'm telling ya, imagine it like a dark stage with just Cole and him spitting that hook. Background drop of the rough, real city life with the background vocals as people chiming in to this beat he's got going on.

Definition of "Music Genius" in my opinion those 4 names of people who words inspire , motivate, and put life in perspective perfectly, unapologetic with it too . Nothing but peace , love, and respect for the work they put in for the ppl listening to the poetry they deliver from inside them to the ears and ultimately to soul of their listeners. Art work at its highest.
