[Part 1: Daydreams]


[Intro 1]

NT, you killed this shit


[Verse 1: Liam Driver]

Vibin', I'm ridin' the beat (I'm ridin' the beat, yeah)

My verse go so hard, they put it on repeat (They put it on repeat)

They think I'm part of the elite (Ooh)

Put you to shame, you might want to delete (Ooh, ooh!)

Writin' so good, think I cheat (Think that I'm cheatin')

Ain't no deceit, keep it discrete, yeah

Point to where you will be seated

Think you depleted, must be defeated, ayy

I don't care how you fare, don't compare, hit a snare

In the air, take the stairs, think I am your nightmare

Wake up in your nightwear, see me there, gasp for air

Anywhere, everywhere, billionaire, got a spare (*gasp*)

Hit 'em with the venom, let 'em move, and then I end 'em (I'ma end 'em)

Turnin' blue, like you denim, I don't think you met him (I don't think so)

(Hey, you can call me Launch) Now that you've been let in (Yeah)

Just sit back, relax, and listen to the bars that I've been spittin' (Ayy!)


[Verse 2: Solomon Rennie]

Big Cook, Little Cook , conjure up flames

6'3", I'm a giant with no chains (Yeah)

Watch how effortless I make it all seem

Kids presenter, bro, they call you Daddy Keem

Flowin' like the water, you silly man, uh (Yeah, yeah)

Heard that rhyme, man, you really, man? Uh (Yeah, yeah)

Random generate, bro, you gotta elevate

Your flow ain't water, dude, it's really not to celebrate (Yeah, yeah, yeah!)

Basement to the ground man, 50p to pound man (Uh, yeah)

J. Cole to JID in terms of skill on Down Bad (Uh, yeah)

Waste of a capital, you ain't a proper noun man

Spell check your name, dude, where is your renown, man?

Uh! Shoutout Marco

They love Polo boy (Polo boy)

But your fans

Really won't get employed, uh (Get employed!)

Bruh, is that your shirt?

I really hope that's soy, uh (Soy, soy!)

You really worried

'Bout the wrong Polo, boy! (Yeah, boy, uh!)

Uh, yeah!


[Part 2: I DON'T CARE!]


[Intro 2: Truse & Quadeca ]

Apathy

There's no reason to be mad at me

That's just how it has to be

Yeah, yeah

Yeah, yeah, yeah!

NT!


[Verse 3: Truse]

I'm at the top and they hate that I'm there

I hate my ignorance, yeah, it's not fair

I swear that I don’t care

Just stop, don't sit and stare (Okay)

Get up out of your chair (Ooh!)

Louis V, that's what I wear (Yeah!)

Just kiddin', I'm broke, bro (Brrr!)

Fuck this flow

Squadeca Cypher , yeah, here I am (Uh)

I have one song, but I'm still the man (Yeah)

From me to you, I got a better plan (Ooh!)

Tour of the States to please your stans (Okay)

"Hold up, I'm beamin'"? Never again (Ooh)

I hate that song, I'm sorry, Ben (Yeah)

Let us just ignore what I just said

My verse is done, but this is not the end, yeah


[Verse 4: nishith]

I kill these beats, you could call me a ghost writer

Not one to seek, simply turn you to ghost hider

Ventin' out on a fuckin' track

I'ma have to take it back

I'm havin' daydreams

Of when people thought I was wack

I'm wonderful and y'all out of order

Y'all tryna steal my piece of the cake

Y'all been fallin' like Autumn

The leaves on the floor dried out, so we gotta rake

Quad is a G.O.A.T., he did that in one day

I'm really tryna get this high cut pay

Mosquitoes, we clear 'em with Raid

Blockin' your music like a barricade, uh

Like a barricade

Like a barricade, yeah

Goin' to Michaels with this flow

'Cause this shit is a mo'fuckin' craft

Y'all cheesy as fuck, like you were Kraft

Got the advantage, I ain't gotta graft

I'm your idol, I'm a beau

Song of the king, like I'm from Stockholm

Left on read, like Hot Cheetos

Did I mention that Quad is the G.O.A.T.?

Go-Got on top! (NT!)

Quad, when's F.M.T.Y. gonna drop?

Ignorant Quad cannot stop

Quadnos 'bout to end us all

This-This is not a goddamn meme

I think it is time to scream

Sike, I'm joking, don't end me


[Part 3: No Deal]


[Intro 3: CER10]

It's so sad

How many people sign with Satan in a losing battle

Just so that they can get temporary fame, or what it seems like on the outside

"No deal!", like-


[Verse 5: Shaun VI]

No deal, get the papers, I'm signing it with a pen

Rap makes me feel like I'm Heaven, I'm never gon' live again

I'm never gon' sell my soul to you, you're makin' my life a myth

I'ma pursue my dreams, I'm not readin' from your script

I don't even need your rules, I'ma split 'em into two

So much fire in the booth, I'm not givin' this to you, I'm so done with all you fools

You were never even cool, spittin' water like a pool, take your offer, what a fool

At the bottom, get a stool, you think everything is cool

We only live for a temporary time, fillin' my life with a lie

Thinkin' I'm sick when I really couldn't write, I think my life's on the line

Bein' genuine, legitimate and it didn't get me anywhere, so why would make a deal with you?

I'm feelin' crude and really rude from the offer you gave me, that's "No deal" to you

I'm speakin' from my heart, you speakin' from the charts

You only care about numbers, not anyone else, so why would I listen to you from the start?

Why would I listen to you from the start?

I need a light, my mind is dark, I hit my competition like a dart, uh


[Verse 6: CER10]

Ayo

Last month, the dollars I made was like cinco

This label called, said they'd put me in front of hundreds of people

But they only like the way I flaunt my ego, no quesillo

So I told 'em, "No deal", like that Quadeca single

In the face of adversity, my mama said to be bold

And I don't need demonic spirits to go and follow my dreams, so

I'm on, and yet to be sold, givin' my praise to Dios

I can go and take some unimposed shots, like a free throw

I'll give you some pointers, to your success, they're imperative

So you can leave your mark, not like how Facebook's chairman is

The drip they carryin' only sort of fits when they wearin' it

And I don't believe in their agency (Nope!)... American's

We always keep it a buck or a hundred so it make more sense

Call on the Spirit when you're in a pinch, medical forceps

We ain't mess with thirty-three, like laws of federal protests

CER10's and Shaun's part on the cypher's what you should go get!


[Verse 7: kenE]

Reverse climate change with this ice on my neck

Wearin' fake Nike, call that faking checks

Billboard 100 tells me I'm up next

Foot fetish on me, 'cause they jackin' my steps

Yeah, they jackin' my steps while I'm jackin' their ex

They trackin' my moves, I can't even take shits

Not a kid anymore, I'm still up to my tricks

Not a kid anymore, I'm still throwin' on fits

Not talkin' 'bout cryin', don't need to explain

I might make it drizzle, I can't make it rain

If the money ain't blue, then it's not leavin' stains

Call me the conductor, my boys just ran trains

I'm workin' my free throws, I'm workin' my aim

They keep fuckin' with me, but I won't name no names

They keep tryna play tag, but I ain't playin' games

She call me her papi, she missing champagne


[Chorus: Shaun VI & CER10 , both ]

(No—) No deal, no deal

Why can't I live my life how I feel? (—Deal)

(No—) No deal, no deal

I don't think that'll ever get out of this deal (—Deal)

(No—) No deal, no deal

(Deal!—) I don't ever want to live my life with a will

‘Cause if they take me down

I'll be sayin', "No deal", "No deal"


[Part 4: These Days]


[Verse 8: Jack Cone]

All of these rappers be drippin' in designer brands like Dior

While right now, I stay grinding lowkey behind my keyboard

I'm workin' out west with only the homies, it's Jack and the boys

While these rappers be overflowin' with racks in the Royce

Well, I'm tryna be able to afford a Royce, but I'm over 5'9"

So I stay with the stuff I can get for free, like peanuts at Five Guys

Okay, I drop, and drop, and drop, and drop, but I am still not famous

But I ain't stressin' 'cause I'ma keep workin’, soon, I ain't gon' be nameless no mo'

No one at school believe in me, but I know that don't matter

I knew when I started they wouldn't see me as a rapper

But I know that I'm good at what I do on the mic

If anybody want the smoke, I tell 'em, "Take a hike"

Quad do it four times, SQUAD, it is your time

Keep workin' on your craft even if it gets no likes

They say I look too slim but, bro, you be lookin' too shady

Cool, calm, collected, but on the mic, I get too crazy


[Verse 9: Oreox4]

These days , not really feelin' like I need breaks

Already got the support, don't need a knee brace

Megastars fallin' each day, guess they hit the breaks

And in the cycle, I wonder if we can e-scape

I'm the realest in the game, and I see fame

I gotta keep on grindin', buy myself an e-state

This market's super saturated, please give me space

Got the game on lock, don't bother with a keychain

Not gonna kick off my music career at thirty-five

Plenty of years to go, grow my brand if you give me time

Run up the table, 'cause everything been on my side

You know I'm destroying obstacles one at a time

Just checked your channel again and it's barely alive

I'm really hoping my YouTube channel amounts to money

You know I'll be up in four years time like a Quad song

Instead, it's Squadeca Cypher 2020


[Part 5: Hold Up]


[Intro 4]

NT!


[Verse 10: J. Embi]

So many fuckin' clowns, this a circus

Freak show, put 'em in a hearse with this verse, bitch

Class clown, Joker in some poker shit

I'm a fuckin' toker, but not Token with my coldest spit, I'm over this

Ha! Yeah, told 'em I got sanity

That's why I'm lettin' all this out before I get to plannin', see

I'm the man with the plan to be sellin' weed to my family

Family is my neighborhood, neighborhood spreads like cancer, G

If they ask, I give answers with Polaroids of their nan deceased

Anakin turned to Vader, then later turns panoramically

Paranoid paraplegics turn paranormal by hands of me

If the buyer's not satisfied, money back isn't guaranteed

Ha! But that's the fuckin' way it goes

Punch a fucker in the face, and hope the red will paint his nose

Make his fuckin' circus ass wish he was a just vacant soul

So I could get a patent for carnivals with some naked hoes

It ain't disclosed, write it on my pancreas

"J. Embi's insane and he is nothing but a crazy bitch!"

Hey, that's pretty harsh for some normal bitches to say to kid

Maybe that's why your god makes you fuckers turn-turn to atheists

Satan was created to make you stay in a place of bliss

So you don't get all crazy and think it's funny to make a sin

If you wanna burn, then I'd suggest that you should play The Sims

Make a Sim, take the oven, make it glitch

While you're fuckin' burning, you'll still never never spit as flames as this

Down some fuckin' Jameson, maybe then you can play this shit

And comprehend the level of heat that this fuckin' crazy kid spits!

(NT!) Bitch!


[Part 6: Invite]


[Intro 5]

NT!


[Verse 11: Quickjoshy]

Usually, I ain't like this, rewritin' all my lines, like I'm goin' through crisis

Upgraded and now I'm sounding quite crisp

Poppin' off and then I'm going ghost, like a white wisp

(That's a bruh moment, ayy, yeah!)

Take it from me, I'm spreadin' like a disease

I don't got no bitches, still got people to please

All these rappers easy, I could eat 'em for lunch

Just get my mic and then my bib, and then I'm ready to munch

They like to hear my sound and now, I'm rappin' a bunch

I've heard I'm doin' more damage, like I'm packin' a punch

They see me in their frame, but I got my own goals

Own haters, own trolls, own friends, own foes

They runnin' after me, I stay ahead with a stroll

Difference between us is that I got dough to roll

You are just out here with like zero control

Every flow nowadays been done before, so I'm thinkin' out the box or I'm out the door

Spit a hundred words and spit a couple more, competing with you is what I really came for

I'll drive you to your grave, like a fuckin' chauffeur

And then I flip the whole script, like I might blow her

Bitches don't say "No" to me, they tell me, "No, sir"

Even though I like 'em older fuckin' cougars, no fur


[Interlude 1: Jonathon]

Yeah


[Verse 12: Jonathon]

Think I can't go harder after Spider Jock ?

I don't fall down, I rock hard, like Slipknot

Put that shit in neutral, 'cause I'm takin' shots

My bars more convoluted than the F.N.A.F. plot

Left at the door like that cloak

Bitches stoned, bank like all night

Make them happy, scream, "Oh bo"

Didn't even want it, yet, I still got the invite

Get a taste of the hand that I'll raise

Pull a Samuel L Jackson, freeze these fuckers in place

The way I lay the plays, I'll set this path ablaze

Like I'm the patron saint, and, yeah, we ain't done

So when you hear that choir addendum

You'll see me smash you, like a character from Fire Emblem

Y'all wack! I beat you while you still elevatin', you JAY-Z

Princesses be delicate, followin' other rappers like you mindless, call that shit Day-Z

Obsessed with 2D bitches like I'm Tokyo, I still get dough and blows, I guess I'm crazy

I own a plaque, a MAC, Tarmac, a track, and like Three Houses, yeah, I'm rockin' a Mercedes

On this cypher, yeah, I'm feelin' it, one for the stash

I would've gone a little harder, but I didn't want the backslash

Gotta dash, sorry if you wanted more, guess that's that

I leave you on one final note: Hatsune Miku for Smash


[Part 7: Wii Music Fire]


[Intro 6: Glexnos & S.E.G.A. ]

He has a gun, he has a gun

He has a gun, he has a gun (One for the school and one for Glex)

He has a gun, he has a- gun

He has a gun, he has a gun! (Hahaha!)


[Verse 13: S.E.G.A.]

Hey y'all, S.E.G.A. here!

Before I start, let me be clear:

While I respect you all day-to-day

These verses flop harder than Birds of Prey

Let me show you what a real one can do

I've been cooking this up, fourteen years in the stu'

If you want a feature, please get in queue

Or I'll call up decagun and hit you with the .22

How can I get through to you

That your new song isn't fresh or new?

Please get out of my DMs, man, take a clue

Before I capsize your virtual canoe

I fly JetBlue, man, you fly Frontier

So my numbers ain't the only thing in the stratosphere

You've never been off your landing gear

So if you wish to defeat me, train for another thousand years

Don't step to this, I'll put you in your place

This petty beef is just another rat race

Your whole discography is a disgrace

It's hard listening to your tracks with a straight face

Let's be real, you're the GAWNE to my Eminem

It's been weeks, still haven't sent caelix your stem

I might surprise drop you like I'm Music To Be Murdered By

These bars so pure, you know they're FDA-Certified

Try to come after me

I'd think you have a couple screws loose

I'll leave a crime scene at your residence

'Cause I've always been the golden goose

This concludes my contribution to this cypher

I lit this whole thing up with no lighter

Hope you all enjoyed the last minute, thirty

All I ask is that you vote for Bernie


[Verse 14: Lil Fagkii, Quadeca & Glexnos ]

Why in the fuck did I do this?

Getting more green than a nudist

Retirement lasted a couple of days

Guessing the Glex beef was too shit

That was a joke, don't you twist up those panties

Got killed this December, but somehow I managed

I love my friends and I love Mario Party

But somehow, at both, I am average

Strike you like I'm Derek Savage, fuck

Every day is dated reference day

When you live under rocks in the garage

That shit was awful, don't stop, Le Piano

Swing and a miss, but I'm swingin' some arrows

—Next time, just, let-

Tell me when Fangkii's there

Or whatever- whatever his name is— ( Yeah )

My pet rat is currently nun' but a corpse

Donate to his GoFundMe, or you're a whore

Donate to the fund so I'll go to the store

And pick up a new rat, and not rap no more

Guess there's nothing more to say than

"Bye bye, I win"

If you need me

You can find me on the Luke Dead Island


[Interlude 2: Lil Fagkii]

Bi-! Haha!

Fucking...!

Ha...


[Part 8: Interlude]


[Verse 15: OverFlowLyrical]

Techversity up in this bitch

I know you thought that you'd never see me again

Like Glex and Famkii, I might go fuck on your bitch

I'm countin' up heads while getting head from a girl that got a lisp


[Part 9: NOT a Diss Track]


[Intro 7: Glexnos]

Ahem... it's Glex!

NT!


[Verse 16: Glexnos & Logpog ]

If my life is a movie, then it better be a fucking classic

Killin' another track, we're starting to run out of caskets

I'm writing all my bars 'cause I'm not on some fuckin' hack shit

You try to stop me, but I'm hard to kill, like some bad habits

You think that you're the shit, but you’ve been lyin' to the game

The only thing you're doin' is puttin' shame to your name

You've been tryna con her, but dude, her name isn't Sarah

We've been killin' tracks together, and they call us the chimera

I've been goin' ignorant, I need a reality check

I've been writin' too many bars about the snap of your neck

New year, same me, I'm just slowin' down with the memes

I gotta break the loop, 'cause I've been burstin' at the seams

I've been buildin' up my name, each track better than the last

Yet, "When's the third cypher?" is all that I'm ever asked

Started up some memes, but they're gettin' stale fast

I think it's time I switch things up, character needs a recast

I know my chances are slim, but to this life I am sworn

Go ahead and hate me, I'll be the object of your scorn

This the end of an era, it's time for me to be reborn

It's better off this way, so for my soul, you best not mourn

Can't let my past hold me back, I need to just move on

Free myself from these shackles, stop bein' so damn withdrawn

Reconnect with those who, from me, deserve another chance

But leave the others behind without so much as a second glance

I don't got a job, but I'm still keepin' myself busy

Been spinnin' in the loop so much, I'm startin' to get dizzy

Need to finish this album so I can finally grow past it

Famkii says I owe it to myself, but I still want to trash it

My tastes are so far above my skill, I hate all my art

Makes me want to delete it all and have a fresh start

But instead, I'll keep developing the skills that I have

Hopin' that one day I can be half as good as Bill and Rav

As for Quad, I know that Midnight 's truly lost forever

But I don't care, honestly, at this point, it's whatever

The only Ben I'm missin' is the one I call my brother

And I ain't talkin' MULTI, Yoda sayin'- (" There is another ")

It's been rough out here, recently, I'm dealin' with atonement

All because I happened to have a small dome moment

Glexkii flopped, and that's okay, 'cause the story ain't over

Maybe we'll release a sequel the month right after October

This the finale of it all, the ending you've been waitin' for

Newcomers and the veterans teamed up to end SQUADECA! lore

We called everyone we could to create this one last cypher

Shoutout Logpog since he couldn't make it, his songs are utter fire ( Okay )

Launch is spittin' flames, and Sol is wakin' up from his dreams

Ni$h!th just doesn’t care, and Truse doesn't like to beam

CER10 and Shaun worked together to create some fire art

​kenE dropped bars like a madman, and Jack went straight for the heart

Oreo rappin' optimistic, and J. Embi sayin', "Hold up!"

Quickjoshy used his invite well, and Polar never let up

S.E.G.A.'s a memelord, and the Chief came through with one last show

This is Glexnos signin' out, "Adiós", from the bozo


[Outro: Glexnos, Quadeca , both ]

(Oh, shit) Uh

That was sixteen minutes of bars!

“Think I can’t go harder after Spider Jock?”
👍 1
×

“Spider Jockey” is the 4th Squadeca song, and the 2nd Squadeca song to feature Polar. Polar’s performance was praised from Spider Jockey, but Polar knows he can go harder so he does.

“6'3", I’m a giant with no chains (Yeah)”
👍 2
×

Sol is 6'3, considered a giant. Giants are typically chained down in lore and video games.

“Techversity up in this bitch”
👍 1
×

Techversity is the title to an upcoming OverFlowLyrical album coming out in 2021.

“Make his fuckin’ circus ass wish he was a just vacant soul So I could get a patent for carnivals with some naked hoes”
👍 0
×

More ties into the clown theme of the verse, this time more outlandish than the last ones.

“—Next time, just, let- Tell me when Fangkii’s there Or whatever- whatever his name is— (Yeah)”
👍 0
×

This is a sample from a voice call on the Squadeca Discord server in which Quadeca was present alongside Glex. Since Famkii wasn’t present during this call, Quadeca asked them to make sure that he would get to talk to Famkii next time he was around.

“(”There is another”)”
👍 0
×

Although Logpog could not make it onto the cypher, Glexander samples Logpog once and interpolates original vocals from Logpog once.

“These days”
👍 0
×

The beat sample’s Quadeca’s “These Days”

“My bars more convoluted than the F.N.A.F. plot”
👍 0
×

FNAF has an infamously confusing backstory that no one seems to understand, much like these bars

“I’m a fuckin’ toker, but not Token with my coldest spit,”
👍 1
×

This is another line with a couple different meanings.

Embi is saying he’s a toker, a term often used to call someone a stoner, then going on to state he is not token/Token with his coldest spit, the token meaning either token as in basic or standard, or Token, the Massachusetts rapper with a knack for rapping in a complicated way.

“Reverse climate change with this ice on my neck”
👍 1
×

Many people believe that climate change can impact the Earth’s temperature, as the Earth heated up by four-seven degrees in the past 100 years as of writing this.

And so, kenE says that his icy chain is so cold, that he can reverse the climate change, which would essentially make the temperature of the Earth get colder overtime.

“Make them happy, scream, “Oh bo””
👍 0
×

Reference to Bo Burnham’s show, Make Happy, along with one of Bo Burnham’s songs, oh bo.

“Retirement lasted a couple of days Guessing the Glex beef was too shit”
👍 0
×

I should’ve just retired when I had the chance.

“Well, I’m tryna be able to afford a Royce, but I’m over 5'9"”
👍 1
×

Double-entendre.

The first part just means he’s trying to be able to afford a Rolls Royce, a very expensive watch, but he’s just over $59.

On the other hand this hides the name of Royce da 5'9", who is a frequent collaborator and good friend of rapper Eminem.

“Class clown, Joker in some poker shit”
👍 1
×

This line actually has two meanings.

The first meaning is a reference to the 2007 TV Show “The Batman,” where Joker’s side kick is named Class Clown, (which continues with the circus theme of the verse)

The second meaning is more literal, referencing a class clown, someone who serves no use in the setting they are in, and the joker card in a poker game, another thing that serves no use in the setting it’s in.

“Just checked your channel again and it’s barely alive I’m really hoping my YouTube channel amounts to money”
👍 0
×

Oreo says that a person’s YouTube channel is barely alive, most likely in terms of views, uploads, and community interaction. Oreo then says, he has a stable fan base, and he has hope for his future which will most likely amount to money.

This also could be a double entendre, with amounts of money it could mean a lot of money, implying Oreo already makes a lot of money from YouTube. But on the more simplistic “ammounts to money” it means he hopes his channel will amount, meaning grow, to get money.

“Punch a fucker in the face, and hope the red will paint his nose”
👍 1
×

This line is another subtle continuation of the clown theme, this time referring to punching someone in the nose, causing it to bleed and become red and tying it together with a clown, which typically has a red nose and lower face.

“All of these rappers be drippin’ in designer brands like Dior While right now, I stay grinding lowkey behind my keyboard”
👍 0
×

Jack Cone says, although a lot of rappers are flexing with expensive designer fashion, he decides to stay lowkey and actually trying at music.

“Wearin’ fake Nike, call that faking checks”
👍 0
×

Nike, a popular athletic brand, has a prominent design on most of their products, that being a check symbol.
This line can be interpreted in two ways, one way it could say that wearing fake Nike is like wearing the fake symbol that’s prominent on their products.
On the other hand, if you can’t afford Nike and you buy some cheap, fake Nike it’s you faking checks, as in money. It’s comparable to wearing fake designer wear, you’re faking that you have money.

“Heard that rhyme, man, you really, man? Uh (Yeah, yeah)”
👍 0
×

Sol is saying he has heard these rhymes so many times, it as if they are made with a random generator

“Ventin’ out on a fuckin’ track I’ma have to take it back I’m havin’ daydreams Of when people thought I was wack I’m wonderful and y’all out of order”
👍 0
×

Here, Ni$h!th mentions three songs and one album from Quadeca: Venting (Ft. K.A.A.N.), Daydreams, and Wonderful are three of Quadeca songs, while Out Of Order was his sophomore project.

“[Outro: Glexnos, Quadeca, both] (Oh, shit)”
👍 0
×

This is an interpolation/callback to the outro of NOT a Diss Track by Quadeca, in which, at the end, Quadeca says:

(Oh, shit) Uh
That was four minutes of bars!

“They say I look too slim but, bro, you be lookin’ too shady”
👍 1
×

This line plays on rapper Eminem’s well-known alter-ego, Slim Shady. On December 16, 1997, Eminem released Slim Shady EP — introducing the world to the Slim Shady persona. Slim Shady’s music is often violent and dark with a comical twist, contrasting Eminem’s other music.

Eminem would later go on to turn the EP into a full-fledged album with The Slim Shady LP on February 23, 1999.

Earlier in the verse, Jack Cone also references Royce da 5'9", one of Eminem’s frequent collaborators:

While these rappers be overflowing with racks in the Royce
Well, I’m tryna be able to afford a Royce, but I’m over 5’9"

“And J. Embi sayin’, “Hold up!””
👍 0
×

On the track, rapper J. Embi raps over a remix of a Quadeca song which is titled “Hold Up!”.

“Why in the fuck did I do this? Getting more green than a nudist”
👍 1
×

No clue what the fuck this means, I think I was just talking about how nudists are typically portrayed with a green leaf covering their genitalia but honestly I have no fucking clue.

“Basement to the ground man,”

Sol is saying other artists are basement level, and when they claim to be elevating it as if they’re going to the top, they are simply going from the basement level to the ground.

“J. Cole to JID in terms of skill on Down Bad (Uh, yeah)”

Down Bad is a song which features J Cole and JID. Sol is continuing his claims about people elevating from basement level to ground level, but here he uses the metaphor of the skill of J Cole and JID’s performance on the song “Down Bad”, claiming its not much of an improvement/stretch when they are saying they are elevating their craft.

DayZ is a game about zombies, and mindless rappers reflect mindless zombies pretty well. On top of that, this line references Princess Daisy as I refer to these rappers as princesses. On top of that, daisies are a very delicate type of flower, which falls in line with when I called these rappers delicate.

Kraft is a food company that, most famously, produces easy to make Mac and Cheese with easy to make powder cheese being a high selling point. Ni$h!th says your bars are as cheesy as the powder cheese, which is a negative connotation unlike the positive connotation on the selling point.

“Strike you like I’m Derek Savage, fuck”
👍 0

To strike someone implies when someone aims and usually delivers a blow, stroke, or thrust (as with the hand, a weapon, or a tool).

Derek Savage, the creator of the classic hit childrens film series Cool Cat, was infamous for copyright striking and claiming unfavorable reviews of his work on YouTube, resulting in a feud between him and a bunch of content creators, most notably against the YouTuber, I Hate Everything, with whom the drama escalated to the point of Savage committing wire fraud in an attempt to permanently erase his critique of the movie Cool Cat Saves The Kids from the platform).

Famous tiktok creator “Polo Boy” fans are considered by Sol to be dirty and not shower. He is making a play on words with the word “Polo”. He is hoping the Polo Boy fan has Soy on his shirt and not Semen. They’re worried about the wrong polo, cause they won’t get employed if they go to an interview with a dirty shirt.

“So many fuckin’ clowns, this a circus Freak show,”
👍 1
×

This is the start of a long continuing theme of clowns in the verse. The reasoning behind this wordplay and extended metaphor is actually the beat itself, which J. Embi thought sounded like circus music, and with a mixture of a later concept to create a picture of sanity unraveling, lasting throughout the verse to create an atmosphere of a circus, or possibly a made up circus in an asylum patient’s head.

all of that out of the way, i purposefully left it up to interpretation but i do have multiple meanings that i believe myself (obviously i know the true intention behind each lyric, but after things settle in my mind i begin to think about other ways the lyrics could be taken and im often fond of having multiple interpretations because it allows the original meaning to stay in tact while also allowing new ideas to form.)

On January 7, 2020, Eminem released his 11th studio album Music to Be Murdered By. The album is inspired by Alfred Hitchcock (1899–1980), one of the most influential and prominent directors and filmmakers of all time, and is named after Alfred’s 1958 album of the same name.

Here, S.E.G.A is comparing his attacks on the game to Eminem’s albums, because Eminem released both Music to Be Murdered By and his previous album — Kamikaze — with no prior announcement.

Tour of the States was the tentative name for a Quadeca track that was released the day before this Cypher premiered, titled GORDON RAMSEY, featuring Sad Frosty.

It stayed unreleased for a year following a snippet posted on a now deleted video from Quadeca’s YouTube channel.

This verse was recorded in like January-February 2020, and coincidentally, that song he’s talking about, GORDON RAMSAY by Quadeca, dropped the day before this cypher came out lol

👍 0

Quadeca has a song called 2020.

In the song, Quadeca talks about how he wishes to make it in four years time from writing. The song was released on September 21st, 2016, so this implies that Quadeca wished to have blown up by the year 2020.

This explains part of the reasoning for naming the song “Squadeca Cypher 2020”, rather than “Squadeca Cypher, Vol. 3”

“I kill these beats, you could call me a ghost writer”

A ghost writer is someone who writes for someone else. RPS says here that he could kill a beat so that the others on the beat would have to start getting ghostwritten bars from me. It’s also a play on words because, in paranormal terms, after death your body leaves a spirit known as a ghost.

“[Intro 3: CER10]”
👍 0
×

CER10 is a Christian rapper, which means he has the Holy Spirit and believes in God. Being Chrisitian, he also despises of Satan, also commonly known as Lucifer or just the Devil.

He says it’s so sad how people sacrifice their continual reality by signing with Satan to becoming prosperous in a temporary life on a dying Earth.

‘Selling your soul’ is a popular conspiracy topic, involving initiation into Satanism and the artist’s signature music, for their career to blow up. ‘Selling your soul’ or ‘selling out’ can also be used as a metaphor to describe an artist signing to a record label, typically a corrupt one, to make music that appeals to more people, rather than making music for other purposes.

Using an interpolation of Genius-verified artist, Quadeca’s song, No Deal ft. Moxas, CER10 makes it clear that if a corrupt label tries getting him to sign, he will not accept their offer. CER10 wishes to stay loyal to what he believes in.

“So I told ’em, ”No deal”, like that Quadeca single”
👍 1
×

No Deal is one of the many collaborations between rappers Quadeca and Moxas, and it’s the beat that $haun, CER10, and KenE are rapping over.

CER10 says that when the label asked him to sign and put him in front of hundreds of people, he said “no deal” just like the aforementioned song with Quadeca and Moxas.
