Snake Mentality Pt. 3 Lyrics – EBK Jaaybo

Snake Mentality Pt. 3 Lyrics Meaning

[Intro]
He’s hyping up the track, signaling that it’s about to go hard and intense, like something serious is coming.

[Chorus]
In this part, Jaaybo talks about how deeply personal his actions are, especially when it comes to getting revenge for someone he loves. When he says he got something “back in blood,” he means he took revenge in a violent way because it meant so much to him. He’s lost someone important, and ever since then, he’s been dealing with grief and nightmares, always on edge, even reaching for a gun in his sleep. His loyalty runs deep—he keeps his close friend Leebo nearby, and he’s ready to risk everything for his people. He also makes sure his twin’s lawyer is paid because he doesn’t want to see him locked up.

Even though he wants to change, people keep trying to drag him back into his old ways. He describes the struggle of feeling hopeless and stuck in a harsh environment, but he’s still willing to help his people no matter how far they are. He feels trapped in a broken system and misses his younger sisters. His love for his crew is real—he won’t fall out over women, even though some people he trusted crossed him like that. What hurts more is that these same people were once close, and now they’ve turned on him. He feels like he helped make them who they are. He also mentions someone named Mad Maxx who’s locked up, showing that the bond with his brothers is strong, even through all the violence and pain they’ve been through together.

[Verse]
Here, Jaaybo starts by sharing how he’s been haunted by dark thoughts and memories, especially after losing someone to his enemies. That pain triggered some serious anger and emotional struggles inside him. Even though people smile in his face, he can sense the fake love—they’re not really happy about his success. His close friend got killed because he didn’t have a gun on him, which really hit him hard. Lately, he’s been searching for peace but hasn’t found it. He admits to having taken lives and even tried to repent, but emotionally, he feels numb.

Thinking about his brother Nick brings him to tears. He makes it clear that being part of EBK (EveryBodyKilla) means you have to be active, not just talk—there’s a certain street code that has to be followed. He also calls out people who claim to be loyal but never actually step up when it matters. He talks about how people can be sneaky, with “snake mentality,” ready to betray you. Despite all that, he says his auntie still sees him as the innocent kid he once was, even though the streets see him as a killer. He’s still connected to his roots—driving nice cars but parking them at his grandma’s house, showing he hasn’t left where he came from.

Even though he hides his pain well, it’s still there. He lets us know he’ll still be there for those he cares about, even if they hurt him. He has love for people, even if he can’t trust them fully anymore. When he heads out at night dressed in all black, his girl worries about him, scared something might happen. At the end, he pays respect to his lost brother by smoking something in his memory—it’s his way of honoring him.

[Chorus]
Jaaybo repeats the same chorus, showing how these emotions and themes keep circling back in his life. The pain from losing someone close still sticks with him. He’s still battling grief, still waking up from nightmares, still staying strapped out of habit and fear. He rides with his day-one people and stays loyal, no matter the risk. He continues to support his twin, trying to keep him out of prison. And even though he wants to grow and change, the world around him keeps pulling him back into the chaos.

He shares how it feels to be hopeless in the trenches, how he’d go to any lengths to be there for someone who needs him. He still feels the effects of growing up in a system that failed him and misses his sisters dearly. Loyalty to his crew means everything—he won’t let drama over girls mess that up. But it still stings knowing that some of the same people he was close to would betray him like that while he was locked up. He feels like he helped build these people up, even turned them into killers, and they still flipped on him. He ends by shouting out his locked-up brother again, reminding us that they’ve really lived this violent lifestyle, not just talked about it.
