Annotations and Meaning.
[Intro]
The intro, voiced by Future, sets a gritty tone with references to street life and loyalty. The repetition of "I hit the lottery" suggests an unexpected turn of fortune.[Verse 1: Vince Staples]
Vince Staples opens with an acknowledgment of underlying tensions ("elephant in the room"). He describes his journey and resilience through metaphorical "gangster chronicles" and emphasizes his significance in the rap game. References to K. West and seeing himself on the news highlight his rise to fame and societal impact.[Chorus]
The chorus reinforces the idea of loyalty and success. Future’s lines, repeated by Vince Staples, link personal history with present achievements, emphasizing the ongoing connection to their roots and community.[Verse 2: JPEGMAFIA]
JPEGMAFIA’s verse is aggressive and introspective. He speaks about authenticity and defiance against the odds, mentioning "Jonathan Major paper" and calling out fake personas. His line "I die and I killed myself, tell 'em they killed me" illustrates a complex relationship with self-perception and external judgment. The verse underscores his unfiltered approach to life and art.[Outro]
The outro reiterates the chorus, bringing the song full circle with Future's reflection on loyalty and success. It encapsulates the song’s themes of resilience, community, and the relentless pursuit of progress.New Black History Song Lyrics
New Black History by JPEGMafia
9 millimeter, my brother's my keeper
Was serving that ether before I did features
My mamacita, she know how to greet me
She know how to keep me, she bett' not get greedy
I hit the lottery
I hit the lottery
I hit the lottery
I hit the— I hit the—
[Verse 1: Vince Staples]
Let's resume, walk light when the elephant in the room
Porsche truck, hold whatever niggas need to boombaye
But the squabble will be over soon
I say what I do and I mеan what I wanna do (Uh-huh)
These are my gangstеr chronicles
I'm the God MC, I'm the tried and true
Try me and you dream in the ICU
Time to show and prove, I guess
Time to bust a new move, I guess
Scrollin' through the tube at K. West
Seen my self on the news, so blessed
Dudes don't get this good 'til they death
Rugs from Italy, must be kiddin' me
North Side Long Beach, aborigines
Can't get rid of me, we Black history
[Chorus: Future & Vince Staples]
9 millimeter, my brother's my keeper
Was serving that ether before I did features
My mamacita, she know how to greet me
She know how to keep me, she bett' not get greedy
I hit the lottery (Northside)
I hit the lottery
I hit the lottery
I hit the— I hit the— (Uh, uh)
[Verse 2: JPEGMAFIA]
When I come around, better stare at the floor (Yeah!)
'Cause I'm in that mode, on my own, I got that flavor, Jonathan Major paper
'Specially when y'all cashing out for PDFs and rapers (No Drizzy)
I hope y'all paid attention, no really
I die and I killed myself, tell 'em they killed me (Hey)
I'm in a rush to f**k up
Y'all wish I used my background as a— (Ah)
Y'all wish I kept on eatin' prison lunch 'cause I'm tweetin' too much
Keepin' it G is a must
These rappers fell off, they in statis, makin' statements
They status is peeing cups
Ain't nobody freer then us
Ganando dinero como CM Punk (Hey)
[Outro: Future]
9 millimeter, my brother's my keeper
Was serving that ether before I did features
My mamacita, she know how to greet me
She know how to keep me, she bett' not get greedy
I hit the lottery
I hit the lottery
I hit the lottery
I hit the
