Lyrical Analysis of...
Endless Cycle
- VERSE 1:
- Rap’s filled with so much weed all the cess and the blunts,
- I’ll have no lies, rap’s so dry, I can’t stress it enough,
- nowadays it’s about bitches and hoes and riches and dough,
- I’m tryna make a difference with the sickest of flows,
- Do it moderately, now everyone smokes weed,
- 3 or 4 times a day, do codeine and are dope fiends,
- the whole scene is messed up, I try to be positive,
- according to y’all just the sight of me’s odd is it?
- Or is it ‘cuz I speak the truth, maybe it’s that,
- hip hop might be slowly dying, crazy is rap,
- but I chose to pursue it, I gon’ let it fail,
- smart young men are in the streets sent to jail,
- misled by MTV and BET, turning to thugs,
- they could be great people, it worsens to drugs,
- I ain’t preaching now, I ain’t a sent disciple,
- but this shit’s gotta stop, it’s an endless cycle
- HOOK:
- It’s an endless cycle, of drugs and violence,
- misogyny and homophobia, guns and crimes and,
- y’all giving thugs some guidance, it’s a sharp mentality,
- but it’s the goddamn truth, it’s a harsh reality (x2)
- VERSE 2:
- What happened to the old shit, seems we’ve lost our guidance,
- and hip hop’s positive messages like stop the violence,
- I come from humble beginnings, some cred and gracious roots,
- tryna address issues to this generation’s youth,
- but it’s hard when they listens to fake types of shit,
- but materialism’s nice, and really they like the grit,
- of it, but it truly leads ‘em down the wrong road,
- that’s why I try to be real in most of my songs so,
- I can make a difference, but people don’t buy the truth,
- ‘cuz being honest and moral doesn’t sell to the mindless youth,
- that’s why I consider this golden, what I’m spilling right now,
- ‘cuz I ain’t tryna be the illest, just the realest like how,
- like being serious and blunt without a delirious front,
- put up to act gangsta, I’ve still experienced cuts,
- deep into the flesh, these rap men are idols,
- so this shit’s gotta stop ‘cuz it’s an endless cycle
- HOOK:
- It’s an endless cycle, of drugs and violence,
- misogyny and homophobia, guns and crimes and,
- y’all giving thugs some guidance, it’s a sharp mentality,
- but it’s the goddamn truth, it’s a harsh reality (x2)
- VERSE 3:
- These critics ain’t never been poor or experienced hardship,
- I wasn’t broke growing up but let a real lyricist start shit,
- ‘cuz we have the power to change shit, or just make it worse,
- we can improve lives or choose to just fake and sure,
- I ain’t join the game for money, wasn’t to imitate,
- I’m just saying a hard life really doesn’t discriminate,
- and kids who feel like outcast just sit with blaring headphones,
- rap can be an outlet, but ‘till these parents let go,
- the children will deal bullying and deal with the stress,
- not making cash, but when people feel it’s the best,
- ‘cuz you know you touched ‘em and you made a difference,
- it might seem contradictory, but the game is twisted,
- these kids become bad, they have a chance given to let go,
- but they’re pulled in ‘till they’re dead or sitting at death row,
- so buy me saying these messages I’ll send the right road,
- ‘till then let’s get rid of this endless cycle
- HOOK:
- It’s an endless cycle, of drugs and violence,
- misogyny and homophobia, guns and crimes and,
- y’all giving thugs some guidance, it’s a sharp mentality,
- but it’s the goddamn truth, it’s a harsh reality (x2)
