Woah, woah, woah
Once you cross that line, it ain't no tryin' to fix it
You want me to forgive you, let's be realistic
I can't kick it with your kind like I tore my meniscus
How you go from co-defendant to a ****in' witness?
They'll stand on couches with you but won't stand on business
Woah, I watched everybody turn on my brother like he ain't have 'em out here flyin' jets and ****in' bitches
This shit ridiculous
I feel your pain, my brudda
I know you from the struggle, I know how hard you hustled just to take care of you mother
I know you took clothes off your back for niggas you call, "Brotha"
I know how hard it get in this jungle, tryna prevail without bein' tried like you no sucker
Huh, life's a mother****er, yeah
I know ain't nobody perfect
But what's the point in makin' it out if all they do is cuff ya?
You know, we be comin' from like, the worst conditions, the worst circumstances
The trenches, the gutter
Sometimes we be forced to make decisions that we don't even want to make
It be about survival
At the end of the day, we be havin' good hearts
They just be in bad places
I guess that's life, though
Father God, forgive me for my sins
Take the mask off all my enemies that's out here actin' like my friends
Did some shit I'm prayin' I never gotta do again
I put bloodshed and tears inside this win
If I take care of my hood, the prosecutor call me Gotti
Turn my back on my hood, they prolly kill me, prolly rob me
It's a Catch-22, I'm bein' honest
Hard work, tryna keep the past behind me
I still be havin' flashbacks 'bout Johnny
Fast forward and the major label signed me
Had to hustle, had to focus, perseverance
Momma used to go to TJ Maxx and shop on clearance
Tayman and CJ, I can still feel their spirits
Skinny and Wanwan used to rap, I know they hear it
It ain't that easy, puttin' pain inside of lyrics
Send us up to Heaven so they can clear it
Y'all know like, real street niggas don't do this shit
And I don't want niggas to get misunderstood
'Cause the rules we live by, don't even matter no more
Just a, just a setback for you to come back
Can't hold a nigga down forever
Know what I'm sayin'
'Till then, we gon' hold this shit down, straight up

歌詞解析
一句話主旨
透過對兄弟的勸諭與自省，探討幫派文化中的道德困境與生存掙扎。
主題
兄弟情誼的裂痕、社會現實的壓迫、個人選擇的矛盾，以及對過去與當下的反思。
情緒
憤怒中帶有悲憫，絕望裡隱含希望，並夾雜對命運的無奈與抗爭。
意象與手法
1. 「co-defendant」與「witness」的對比，象徵信任崩解與背叛。
2. 「Catch-22」比喻生存的兩難處境。
3. 「jungle」與「trenches」隱喻貧民窟的險惡環境。
4. 「bloodshed and tears inside this win」以矛盾修辭凸顯成功代價。
重點句解讀
1. 「How you go from co-defendant to a in' witness?」
原文質問對方如何從共同犯罪者轉為告密者，揭露人際關係中信任的脆弱與背叛的傷害。
2. 「It's a Catch-22, I'm bein' honest」
引用文學典故比喻生存困境：無論如何選擇皆陷入矛盾，如守護幫派可能遭報復，放棄又違背本心。
3. 「They just be in bad places」
點出罪惡行為的根源非個人本性，而是被環境逼迫，展現對兄弟的悲憫與理解。
4. 「Send us up to Heaven so they can clear it」
揭露社會將苦難神聖化，以「上天堂」作為道德洗白，批判現實的虛偽與無奈。
適合情境
面對親友背叛時的情緒宣洩、反思社會不公時的沉思、或在生存壓力下尋求心理平衡的時刻。
魔鏡站長解析

站長
這首歌像把街頭的煙灰缸倒進心裡，字字句句都是被生活磨出的裂痕。李愛綺用粗礪的語氣說出兄弟間的背叛與守護，那些「穿堂風似的背叛」和「替換掉的兄弟」，讓人聽見聲音背後壓抑的淚。她不只在寫某個人，更像是對所有在泥沼裡掙扎的靈魂說話，特別是那些把痛楚藏進節奏裡的沉默者。歌裡頭提到「把血淚裝進勝利裡」，這種矛盾的掙扎感最動人，彷彿能看見她站在燈光與陰影交界處，一邊數著傷疤一邊唱給過去的自己聽。適合在夜深人靜時單曲循環，讓那些被現實壓彎的脊椎，找到一絲被理解的暖意。
歌曲冷知識
・歌詞中「brudda」以非正規拼寫呼應黑人文化口語，強化街頭語境與兄弟情誼的親密度
・「co-defendant」與「witness」的對立隱喻信任崩解，暗示幫派或社群中從共犯到背叛的危險轉折
・「Catch-22」這類文學典故嵌入說唱，將個人困境與文學隱喻結合，凸顯生存矛盾的無解性
・多次提及已故友人名稱如「Johnny」「Tayman」，卻未明述關係，留白處理讓聽者自行連結街頭記憶的沉重感
