Critical Analysis-Biggie Smalls Juicy

Biggie Smalls:Juicy


To me this song is kind of negative from the use of language. To me this verse means that life was kinda hard. You have to make out with what you have. You can't complain about what you have and don't have. When life gives you lemons you make lemon juice. When times get tough you have to push through them."Don't let them hold you down, reach for the stars" means that there's people out there who would love to bring you down but you have to keep pushing to reach for the stars and above. Misery loves company. So when you around a lot of miserable people they expect you to be miserable like them. When they see that your nothing like them, they will do any and everything to get you to where they are.

Critical Analysis

You're gonna be a shining star, with fancy clothes, and fancy car-ars.
And then you'll see, you're gonna go far.
Cause everyone knows, just who you are-are.
So live your life, ay ay ay.
You Steady Chasin that paper.
Just live your life (Oh! ), ay ay ay.
Ain't got no time for no haters
Just live your life (Ay! ), ay ay ay.
No telling where it'll take ya.
Just live your life (Oh! ), ay ay ay.
Cause I'm a paper chaser.
Just living my life (ay), my life (oh), my life (ay), my life (oh)
Just living my life (ay), my life (oh), my life (ay), my life (oh)
Just living my life

(T.I.):
Never mind what haters say, ignore them 'til they fade away.
Amazing they ungrateful after all the game I gave away.
Safe to say I paved the way, for you cats to get paid today.
You still be wasting days away now had I never saved the day.
Consider them my protégé, homage I think they should pay.
Instead of being gracious, they violate in a major way.
I never been a hater still I love them, in a crazy way.
Some say they so yay and no they couldn't get work on Labor day.

To me this song means that you have to live your life and not anyone's else. When you try to live other people's life, your not being you. Your so busy trying to follow after that person. You can't worry about haters because they will try to bring you down. You'll always have someone trying to bring you down and you have to prove them wrong. You have to show them that they are wrong. I think this is a positive song. It's saying that you can't focus on everyone else when your trying to catch your dreams.
