Chinatown Pt 2 Lyrics – Polo G

Chinatown Pt 2 Lyrics Meaning

[Intro]
Just a quick shout to set the vibe.

[Chorus]
Here Polo G is opening up about how broken and frustrated he feels inside. He talks about losing emotions and pretending to be fine, even though it’s clear he’s struggling. The dark times he’s stuck in push him to chase money as a way of surviving, and it feels like the only thing to ride for. He admits his days have been tough, but he finds some relief in talking to God more often. Loyalty is huge for him—he stresses that he’ll never switch sides, no matter how deep the struggles get. Keeping weapons close is part of his reality, always ready for conflict, since danger doesn’t disappear in his world. He also points out how betrayal is everywhere, people hiding like snakes in the grass, and he’s aware enough to stay cautious without letting his guard down.

[Verse]
Here Polo G explains how he chose the streets over school, getting caught up in Chicago’s rough life regardless of the risks. He talks about how ruthless people around him can be, with constant robbing and violence being the norm. To numb the pain and stress, he turned to pills, though he admits it’s not really helping. Losing a close friend named B hit him hard, making everything feel even stranger and heavier. Despite the pain, he still reps his neighborhood, holding pride in where he’s from. Moving around with his crew, he now enjoys luxuries like steak dinners instead of struggling meals, showing how far he’s come. At the same time, he calls out his enemies for hating from the shadows while refusing to face him directly. He describes speeding down the highway with a gun, always aware of death chasing him. People try to get close for personal gain, but he knows their intentions. Drügs are still a big part of his coping, and life on the road with his twin feels like a brotherhood. He makes it clear he’s not afraid, staying armed and comparing his shooters’ reliability to Steph Curry’s clutch shots. He emphasizes loyalty, saying he won’t bring outsiders into his circle because only the people who went through pain and funerals with him truly matter. He’s proud of his image and sees himself and his twin as a powerful duo. Even though he tried to slow down, he admits violence is still part of him, and when it’s time, he won’t hesitate to use his weapon.

[Chorus]
Again, Polo G reflects on the anger and emptiness that come from losing emotions and pretending he’s okay. His tough days push him to keep grinding for money while also leaning on faith to get through. Staying loyal to his crew is non-negotiable, and he’s too deep in that life to ever switch sides. Carrying weapons is just part of surviving in his environment, a constant reminder of the dangers he faces. He talks about going after enemies again and again, almost like it never ends and becomes a cycle that needs repeating. Finally, he circles back to trust issues, pointing out that people hide their true intentions like snakes in the grass. He doesn’t bother cutting them down with tools like a lawnmower—he just stays sharp and cautious, knowing that danger often comes from those pretending to be close.
