Triple Cross Lyrics – EBK Jaaybo

Triple Cross Lyrics Meaning

[Intro]
This intro sets the tone, giving shout-outs to producers and repping G-Block, which is his neighborhood. He’s making it clear where he’s from and honoring a lost brother, showing love and loyalty to his crew. The vibe is serious, almost like a warning—he’s telling listeners they’re about to hear something raw and real from his side of town.

[Chorus]
He’s saying his mom knows he’s out in the streets handling business and she doesn’t need to worry about his safety because he’s always armed. He’s been through so much violence that it’s messed with his spirit. He loves his people and his block deeply, but if anyone he loves turns on him, he won’t hesitate to take them out. There’s no forgiveness for betrayal. The phrase “can’t triple cross a soul stripper” means he’s already been betrayed and hurt so much that no one can fool or play him again.

[Verse]
He starts by saying that while he was locked up, someone close to him died, and that loss made him want revenge, but he had to wait. That delay filled him with anger and dark thoughts. When he thinks about his dead brother, it pushes him toward a violent mindset. He’s not just mad at his enemies, he’s even ready to go after people who are connected to them, like cousins. It tears him apart not being able to see his little bro Nick, who died too young. He talks about being addicted to revenge and says he gave the last enemy six shots, showing how deep he is in the cycle of violence.

He admits that rapping about this lifestyle brings back bad memories and a lot of guilt, but it’s all he knows. He doesn’t make up stories—everything he raps, he’s lived. When no one else in the hood was making moves, he took matters into his own hands. After his friend was killed, he expected others to step up, but they didn’t. He didn’t have choices in many situations—he just acted, sometimes jumping out and shooting before he even got his tattoos. He’s disappointed in others who haven’t gotten revenge, but he also realizes that not everyone is built for that life.

Even if someone wasn’t directly involved, just being close to the wrong crowd got them hurt. He’s come a long way from struggling, even sleeping on the floor, but he’d still risk everything if it means standing up for his people. He mentions his little bro calling him from jail, feeling isolated, and those phone calls hit him hard. His bro told him to focus on music when he got out, but the pain runs so deep he doesn’t know if he can leave the streets behind.

Memories of his lost brother hit hard, and he feels like karma is catching up to him. He talks about taking out enemies in different areas, showing how wide his reach is. Losing friends like Maxx has made things worse. He’s tired of dealing with loss and only wants his shooters to come home safe. Every tear he cries turns into another act of revenge. Since his brother can’t fight back, he’ll do it for him. He’ll never let Slo-Be’s name fade either. He wants to walk away from this lifestyle, but his mind won’t let him. Every time they ride on someone, it’s filled with rage and pain, not because they’re heartless, but because they’ve been through too much. He had to hustle hard when he was broke, and now he knows you can’t fight a war without money—you’ve got to move smart.

[Chorus]
Again, he’s reminding his mom that she raised someone who knows how to survive out here. He’s always ready and protected. He’s seen and done things that have changed him deeply. Even though he truly cares about his crew and where he’s from, if anyone betrays him, it’s over for them. There’s no coming back from that kind of betrayal. You can’t fool someone who’s already lost everything—he’s too experienced in this life. He stands firm with G-Block.

[Outro]
He says that every time they lost someone, they went out and got revenge—it wasn’t just talk, it was action. This pain isn’t new; it’s part of their everyday life. He’s ready to risk everything for his neighborhood, even if it means going out like a kamikaze. He really loves where he’s from and keeps honoring the memory of his fallen brothers. They made sure every person who hurt their side paid for it. He makes it clear that nobody can claim to have taken out someone from G-Block without G-Block striking back harder. That’s what he calls a “triple cross”—a deeper, more personal betrayal and payback.

He shouts out his locked-up homies, Mad Maxx and Dada, and says there are things only they understand. There’s no need to fake anything—this is their truth. He reps “Osama World,” a name probably tied to his crew or mindset. He wishes one of his closest bros was still alive to see what he’s doing. He promises to keep going for him and asks him to hold a place for him in the afterlife. His love for him will never fade. He signs off proudly, as the general of Seventh Street, repping G-Block to the end.
