about

I'm a huge fan of storytelling tracks. I'd never really done one on previous albums. Inspired by a back and forth feud between two dudes over a female that I saw once on instagram, I decided to embellish a little and craft a story with a cool plot twist. I decided to let my imagination take over on this one. Enjoy!

lyrics

1. Situation got heated...2 alpha males refuse to get defeated
2. Today somebody's catching a beating
3. So retreating or calling truce ain't a part of the scoop
4. Kill or be killed is the heart of the crew
5. Motto, somebody's getting throttled due to pride
6. Logic to the side, dukes up until he pukes up whatever's inside
7. They don't see eye to eye, somebody got out of line
8. Surrounded by a circle of tyrants adding fuel to the fire
9. Amped up, they put they hands up, now it's on an popping
10. Bobbing and weaving these blows with onlookers watching
11. ...What started out as innocent and out of jest
12. Got overblown and taken out of context
13. Guy #1 went to highschool, with girl and started dating
14. Second guy the jealous ex who got dumped and started hating
15. Active on instagram she was known to post memes
16. Since back when she and guy number 2 were known as a team
17. Guy 1 hit follow and clicked like on many posts
18. Guy 2 observed it from the sidelines taking notes
19. Engaged into a jealous rage made threats to number 1
20. Number 1 fired back that's where the story begun
21. The back story was number 1 and 2 had a history
22. Deeprooted in nature, the duration was a mystery
23. ...Caught in the middle girl tried to mediate
24. The situation but the pain was too much to alleviate
25. The mud slinging continued on social platforms
26. Threats of violence towards him is what he asked for
27. And what he asked for, he soon would get it back
28. Cyber thugging got real how these 2 would choose to settle that
29. A scheduled fist fight made for after school
30. No holds barred, just go hard in the late of afternoon
31. Locked in a stare surrounded by a few dozen
32. The threat of bodily harm at the hands of these 2 cousins
33. Blood supposed to be thicker than water some would assume
34. But rejection in public would cause the ego to bruise
35. It's just the way that boys are wired
36. Refuse to shake it off, instead of walking through the door they'd rather climb the barbed wire
37. Effed up... fists clenched, adrenaline pepped up
38. It's messed up, eyes locked which one will step up
39. And throw the first blow, get this show on and popping
40. Point of no return, squash the beef ain't an option
41. The days leading to this duel was pretty hyped up
42. Instagram feeds were full of threats that many typed up
43. ....In due time... authorities would intervene
44. Self incriminating posts would lead the cops to the scene
45. All that G talk, but real G's move in silence
46. This generation of internet thugs wildin
47. Putting their business out there, just beggin to get caught
48. While the feds get fed the evidence to end you for sport
49. Anyways, the fight broke up, now their minds woke up
50. Sitting on the sidewalk cuffed its time that they spoke up
51. ...Bury the hatchet speak the reasons for the run up
52. Guy #2 admits his life mission was the 1 up
53. Beef had nothing to do with the girl
54. The fact she got with #1 made him hurl, straight ruined his world
55. Guy #1 shocked and confused at the news
56. Now it all started to make sense for why 2 had something to prove
57. Turns out their parents were rivals
58. Their grandparents favoured #1's mother so this spawned the downward type spiral
59. Fixated on retribution, #2's mother's agenda
60. Was to make her son #1's contender... never surrender
61. Or lose in any facets of life
62. Problem is these guys had no real beef or real reason to fight
63. But we here now... situation ain't fair
64. It took a second stare down for this to get aired out
65. ...Kinda childish when you really think about it
66. All these years of harboured anger that he didn't get up out him
67. It took a face to face to shed light on the issues
68. That had none to do with them but... parental miscues
69. Guy #1 and 2's issue got diffused
70. Let them off with a warning..type of deal they couldn't refuse
71. Locked in a brotherly embrace, time to face it
72. Confront the 2 women at the root of this hatred
73. The 2 moms ain't spoke in like over a decade
74. Sibling type rivalry's a headache
75. Back of the cop car, the boys was taken home
76. Phone buzzed for #2 cause he was taking too long
77. To return home from school, it's 8pm, awww damn it
78. Single mother's house imagining mom's panic
79. #2 returned the call told his moms what's happening
80. Her voice was all frantic, the 2 dudes started laughing
81. The cop car pulled up to number 2's house
82. Mother 2 raced to the driveway and chewed 2 out
83. ...Mother 2 then locked eyes with guy 1
84. Tears rolled down her eyes like what have I done
85. Realizing who she'd become
86. She signalled number 1 to get up outta that cop car and gave him a hug
87. An estranged nephew at the hands of being silly
88. What could have happen to her and her son got her feeling sickly
89. Beyond crazy, now's the time to end this vendetta
90. Between his mom and her, make this story end better
91. She reached out to number 1's mom
92. Told her bout the scuffle reassured her both were unharmed
93. Number 1's mom... planned to arrive in half an hour
94. ...During that time the boys ate and had a shower
95. Mom #2 feeling anxious during the wait
96. Been over 10 years since her and mom 1 spoke face to face
97. Mom #1 arrived, tears welled up in her eyes
98. Ran to boy number 1 before she cried
99. Boy #2 stood by his side, emotion he couldn't hide
100. At this point the two mothers realized
101. The error in their ways, petty jealousy and distance
102. Never understood their parents loved them both, just different
103. #2 the athlete, #1 the academic
104. Parents praised them both, #2 got half the credit
105. Many african parents see education as status
106. #2 got lower grades so she always felt embarrassed
107. Under appreciated, deviated from their dream
108. Doctor, lawyer, engineer the benchmark it would seem
109. Played on her psyche, bitter feelings hard to shake
110. Anger built up through adult years, would cause the 2 to separate
111. Reunited in a puppet string twist of fate
112. Staring in each others eyes, regretful that they're in this place
