Decoded Pt.2 "Gladstone Rd"

What up ya'll...To give my fans, supporters etc. a chance to break down my lyrics and to understand where they come from I will be dropping "Decoded Posts" a la Jay-Z's book. I found that very interesting to understand where he got the inspiration to do it..


Dame Murray - "Gladstone Rd"

I was riding my huffy love struck/ car coming..must aint give a f**k (1.) /I was riding my bike like a normal kid/ riding home from my girls crib/they say I tried to beat it across the street/ I aint superman, just wanted to get home and eat (2.) /then my life flashed, car and my bike crashed/ thinking to myself "damn life ends fast"(3.)/sprawled out across the street/ couldnt open my eyes but cool I felt my heart beat/felt the cold compress/ dont remember much else probably fell unconcious(4.)/ doctor said I shouldve been killed/ head on collision with the windshield(4.)/ in the ER crying till my eyes turn red/ laceration from my neck still blead/broken clavicle's what the X-Ray read/ came to, ICU they thought I was dead/ they say life's a game of inches(5.)/ missed my throat, death wouldve been instant/256 stitches...the things we go through for these b****es/pardon me Ms Williams, that wasnt fair...BUT YOU HUNG UP ON ME WHEN I CALLED THERE!!!!!(6.)/ probably aint remember that was me there/ but ya grandma do...(7.) ask her dear/ No Ariyane Chanelle, (no wifey) no rap career/maybe my moms would still be here/ maybe my brother wouldnt need that chair.....(8.)

1. Every kid thinks there Superman, Kind of a play on a later bar   

2. More Powerful than a locomotive, I tried to race the car across the street thinking if it was a tie I'd overcome it...Guess I lost!!!

3. I didnt really think that at the time, but I was 7 so to lose your life at 7 years old is unfortunately a fast way to die.

4. This is what everybody is telling me happened, because I, of course dont remember. Which to this day upsets me..NOW I REMEMBER EVERYTHING!!!!

5. Al Pacino Speech Any Given Sunday

 

6. She was the girl I was seeing, Who I chose to blame for the whole incident, not me trying to race the car. But to see it from my angle, When I called her to tell her I was out the hospital, She hung up on me. I think this warranted me calling her even if she couldnt have boy phone calls. That to this day hurts!!!

7. I ran into her at a grocery store, she procedes to tell me she doesn't even remember the whole incident. But her grandmother does. She had a conversation with my aunt (who lives on the same street) about it..

8. Just reflecting on my life after the fact..all the things that may have been lost, or gained from that accident.
