Makna lirik lagu ini mencerminkan pengalaman emosional yang kompleks dan kontradiktif dala... tampilkan semua
Lets take a trip down memory lane at the cemetery
Rain gray skies seems at the end of every young black live
It′s this line damn him already
Such a goodkid got us poring Hen(nessy) already
Liquor to the curb for the niggas up above
When it cracks through to pavement that's my way of sending love
So give BIG a hug tell Aaliyah I said high
Till the next time I see her on the other side
He was just some thug that caught some slugs
And we loved him cause in him we saw some of us
He walked like us, talked like us
His back against the wall nigga fought like us
Damn poor Isyss that his momma name momma aint strong enough to raise no boy
What′s his father name? shorty never knew him though he had his blood in em
Hot temper momma sad he act just like her husband
Daddy never fucked with em so the streets raised em
Isyss blaming herself she wish she could have saved him
Damn near impossible only men can raise men
He was his own man not even him could save him
He put his faith in the 38 in his waist
But when ya live by the gun you die by the same fate
End up dead before 38 and a
That's the life of what's raised by a winter, it′s a cold world
Old girl turned to coke tried to smoke her pain away
Isyss life just ended on that rainy day
When she got the news her boy body could be viewed down at the city mourge
Open the drawer saw em nude
Her addiction grew
Prescription drugs dipped in brew
Angel dust dipped in whoo
She slipped into her own fantasy world
Had her self pregnant by different dude
But reality bites and this is her life
He wasn′t really her husband though he called her wife
It was just this night when the moon was full and the stars was just right
And the dress was real tight
And it sounded like Lisa Lisa I wonder if I take you home
Will you still love me after this night
Mike was the hard head from around the way that she wanted all her life
Shit she wanted all the hype
Used to hold on tight when they wheelied on the bike
He was a Willie all her life
He wasn't really the one to like
It was a dude named Shi
Who would really treat her right
He wanted to run to the country to escape the city life
But Isyss liked this broad way life
She loved the Gucci sneakers the red, green and, white
Hanging out the window when she first seen em fight
So turned on that she had to shower twice
How ironic it would be some fight
That would turn it to a homicide that would alter their life
See Mike at 32 was still on the seen
He had a son 15 that he never saw twice
Sure he saw him as an infant but he disowned him
Like if that was my son he would look much different
See I′m light skinned and that baby there's dark
So it′s momma's baby poppa′s maybe
Mike was still crazy out there running the streets
had his old reliable 38 gun in his reach
He spent 14 years him and Isyss aint speak
He runnin around like life is a peach
Till one day he approached this thug
That had a mean mug
And he looked so familiar that he called um young Cuz
Told em get off the strip but the boy aint budge
Instead he pulled out a newer 38 snug
He clearly had to drop but the boy just paused
It was something in this mans face he knew he seen before
It's like looking in the mirror seeing his self more mature
He took it as a sign from the almighty lord
You know what they say about he who hesitates at war
(What's that) he who hesitates is lost
He cant explain what he saw before his picture went blank
The old man didn′t think he just followed his instinct
Six shots into his kin out of the gun
Niggas be a father ya killing ya son
six shots into his kin out of the gun
Niggas be a father ya killing ya son
Meet the parents
(echo \u0026 fade out)

Lagu "Meet The Parents" yang ditulis dan dinyanyikan oleh JAY-Z mengisahkan perjalanan emosional dan kompleks kehidupan yang dihadapi oleh generasi muda, terutama dalam konteks komunitas kulit hitam di Amerika. Lirik-lirik yang kuat dan penuh makna ini menunjukkan siklus cinta dan kebencian yang dialami seseorang serta pengaruh lingkungan yang membentuk identitas dan takdir mereka.
Pembukaan yang Menarik
Di bagian awal lagu, JAY-Z menggambarkan apa yang ia sebut sebagai "gift and the curse". Ini merujuk pada dualitas pengalaman hidup, di mana cinta dapat berubah menjadi kebencian, dan sebaliknya. Melalui penggalan lirik yang mengisahkan perjalanan "memory lane at the cemetery", ia membawa pendengar masuk ke dunia refleksi, menyoroti realitas pahit dari kehilangan dan ingatan yang menyakitkan.
Perjuangan dan Kehilangan
Salah satu tema utama dalam lagu ini adalah perjuangan seorang ibu bernama Isyss yang harus menghadapi realita sulit ketika anaknya terjerat dalam kekerasan dan obat-obatan. Lirik-lirik yang menggambarkan perasaannya ketika ia menerima kabar buruk tentang putranya mengangkat isu tentang ketidakberdayaan dan konsekuensi dari lingkungan yang keras. Isyss merasa bersalah karena tidak dapat menyelamatkan anaknya, menggambarkan betapa rumitnya peran orang tua dalam situasi yang penuh tantangan.
Kekerasan dan Lingkungan
- Kehidupan yang Dipenuhi Kekerasan: Lirik mencatat bahwa seseorang yang "hidup dengan senjata, akan mati oleh senjata" – menyiratkan bahwa pilihan hidup yang dipenuhi kekerasan sering kali berujung pada kematian prematur.
- Hubungan Keluarga yang Rumit: Kisah antara Mike dan anaknya menggambarkan kegagalan hubungan keluarga, di mana ketidakhadiran seorang ayah menciptakan jarak dan ketidakpastian bagi sang anak.
- Pertikaian Antara Generasi: Konflik antara Mike dan putranya menyoroti bagaimana siklus kekerasan dapat terjadi secara turun-temurun, dengan Mike tidak hanya kehilangan anaknya secara emosional tetapi secara fisik juga.
Realitas Penyalahgunaan dan Pelarian
Isyss selain menghadapi kehilangan anaknya juga terperosok pada penyalahgunaan obat dan pelarian dari realitas pahit kehidupannya. JAY-Z menyajikan gambaran dramatis tentang bagaimana rasa sakit dapat membuat seseorang beralih ke narkoba sebagai pelarian, dan bagaimana kecanduan ini selanjutnya memperburuk situasi yang sudah sulit.
Pencarian Identitas dan Penyesalan
Lirik membahas pencarian identitas dalam konteks keluarga dan lingkungan. Mike, yang berjuang melewati hidup di jalanan, menyadari bahwa pilihannya bisa berujung pada tragedi. Refleksi ini menyoroti betapa sulitnya menemukan makna dalam perjalanan hidup ketika dikelilingi oleh kesedihan dan penyesalan.
Pesan Moral dan Penutup
Akhir lagu "Meet The Parents" mengajak pendengar untuk merenungkan siklus kehidupan dan betapa diperlukan perubahan dalam pola pikir serta cara kita mendidik generasi mendatang. JAY-Z menyampaikan pesan yang kuat bahwa kekerasan tidak akan pernah menyelesaikan masalah, dan perlunya kesadaran akan tanggung jawab kita terhadap satu sama lain, terutama dalam konteks keluarga.
Lagu ini bukan sekadar hiburan, tetapi juga sebuah karya seni yang mencerminkan realitas sosial yang kompleks. Dengan lirik yang menyentuh inti permasalahan, "Meet The Parents" menggugah kesadaran akan pentingnya cinta dan dukungan dalam keluarga, meskipun dihadapkan pada realita yang menyakitkan.
