The meaning of the lyrics of the song "1AM" by the artist "YG"

Contents

In "1AM," YG recounts a story of rebellious youth, filled with recklessness and the pursuit of easy money. The lyrical protagonist runs away from home, ignoring the care of his mother, who tries in vain to keep him off the streets. He falls in with a bad crowd, skips school, smokes weed, and gets involved in crime.

Despite the carefree tone, the lyrics are imbued with bitterness and regret. The hero acknowledges that his family loves him, but fear and greed push him down a dangerous path. Robberies, shootouts, betrayal – all this becomes an integral part of his life.

In "1AM," YG does not romanticize the criminal world but shows its unsightly underbelly. He makes it clear that behind the seeming freedom and easy money lie pain, fear, and disappointment.

It was 1 in the morning,

And I was up yawnin',

Moms asked where I'm goin',

To the hood if you ain't knowin'.

Pops locked up so mama couldn't stop me,

I was out the house, ASAP rocky,

And it wasn't ‘cause she couldn't control us,

We was her babies, she just wanted to hold us.

And we ain't get disciplined, her friend started whisperin',

‘Bout how she was a bad mama, mama said, ‘Fuck ‘em then',

I was in the streets stylin', nobody could tell me nothing,

Grandpa or grandma, not my auntie or my favorite cousin.

I was buzzin'.

Fuckin' all these hoes wearing no condoms, no nothing,

I used to ditch school when the homie had the Chevy,

I used to sneak and smoke stress weed.

But now I'm rollin' on dubs,

How you feel, whooptie woop, nga, what?

Now I'm rollin' on dubs,

How you feel, whooptie woop, nga, what?

All these hoes showin' love,

How you feel, whooptie woop, nga, what?

All these hoes showin' love,

How you feel, whooptie woop, nga, what?

Skrrt, I was on a mission,

On a mission to the money, sun down ‘til it sunny,

Know my family love me,

Ridin' in the car with two ngas and a pistol,

This ain't funny, I do it all for the money, hold up,

Slowly as I pull up to the donut stand, I already know the plan,

Hop out and get on your mans, and take what he got,

Go through pockets, wallets and socks, and dig all the knots.

It's a stick-up, phone ring, it's my mama,

In the middle of some drama, so I don't pick up,

Thinkin' I gotta get my shit up, I gotta pick my bitch up,

Let's hurry up and leave, I feel the police near us.

So we left with a thousand dollars cash,

It was me and my nga, so you know I went half,

Then shit get real when ngas get greedy,

Pop, pop, pop, pop, that's when he leave me.
