Lyrics and their relation to urban culture:
“Drugs all day, dead bodies in the hallway”- This song reflects a glamourised view of struggling with substance abuse, and this lyric shows that the narrator has lost friends to it.
“Noose for the neck, man I’m due some respect”- This line shows how the narrator is tired of being disrespected, reflecting how the people belonging to this lifestyle may be looked down upon because of their struggles.
“Pray to the Lord two times before I look up”- I like this line as it’s Asia the narrator is trying to apologise to God for his choices, but is too afraid to look up to him, showing a sense of guilt.
“Looking in the mirror like I might stick a knife into him”- This line reflects the violent stereotype that sometimes comes under the urban lifestyle, yet also shows personal struggles.
I also like the cover art for this song, created by the song artist himself. I think it portrays a sense of chaos and recklessness, something which may fit into urban culture.
