(migos libs lmaooo)
i aint never been regular (huh yuh)

i aint never been regular (huh yuh)
cycles (bloody!)
mami hit me on the cellular
spiteful, ugh (psycho)
walkin through the fire 
on a tight rope (gang gang gang!)
i aint never scared to die 
i aint never scared to die yo

[This is the heads up: I’m not regular and I am NOT scared anymore. I’ll walk a tightrope through fire, daredevil ting you get me? There’s no holding back on this.]

i don’t know what changed
but i been feelin my emotions
i was locked inside a cage
(all for the rays)
rusted
frozen
wouldn’t open
(iced out iced out)

[This is a reference to Cages by IFCKane; if you haven’t heard it go peep. I start Cycles with a shoutout to the OG.]

yeah the roots was way too
deep
and undetectable
you couldn’t knock it
with a hack knife
a chain saw STAB
a bull dozer 2X STAB

[Stab is a recording technique where I have multiple takes of me saying the same line to give it more presence. The idea is that the intensity is building. It is analogous to the build-up of emotions I’m describing in the verse]

i won’t never get my closure
gettin fine with that
grateful for the gratitude
and grace to change my mind
(facts)

fuckin ‘round with bitches
way too basic for my fine ass
(im cute as fuck)
gotta lace my boots 
and hit the ground 
for the climb
for the climb STAB

[Shout out Miley Cyrus - The Climb. I know there’ll always be another mountain. Just gotta make it through. And, mannn, stop allowing bullsh** that you’re better than to slow you down.]

fo the climax DOUBLE STAB
(alright!)
nice thighs

(it’s lit! / ok!)
get a grammy for the vocals
peep it IMAX [My classic, go-to sex references at work here]
(huh huh huh)

(facts)

unfortunate
stepping off that bitch (bitch.) to have a ball
rip my nigga Carl

[Carl is my homie’s dead hamster. He was always vibin in his little hamster wheel and ball. RIP Carl. But as for me, I’m stepping off the wheel; I’m untrapping myself from the cycles and looking to exercise my freedom (i.e. have a ball.)]

and the saddest part of all 
is i still love yo ass a lil bit [Sigh…Yeah…]
im hopin and im prayin
that my time
got more sense
than my heart

THATS a charge

and show a side you ain’t heard of

[So far it’s been lovey-dovey ballads and self-reflection. Let me show you another side of this. I’m mad. I’m mad mad. And I ain’t never scared to die, I ain’t never scared to die—]
