Song meaning of Sentry by Earl Sweatshirt & The Alchemist (Ft. MIKE (USA))

Ah, "Sentry" by Earl Sweatshirt & The Alchemist, a poetic masterpiece that requires some deciphering. Let me break it down for you, my dear listener. Earl starts off by reflecting on the people who tried to keep him close but disappeared when he needed them the most. He compares their absence to freezing cold, as if they've seen a ghost in the shell. Oh, and by the way, he's really into pizza dough and making it rain dollar bills, just in case you were wondering. Skipping ahead, he takes us on a journey through his ancestral roots, reminiscing about bloodstains on his fatherland and motherland. It's all very deep and heavy, like clay stuck in his jeans. Then comes MIKE with his unmistakable flow, feeling like Aubrey (Drake, of course), questioning why he's involved when there's no bread. He talks about rising above flaws and not being surprised by fake smiles. And look out, because he's breaking carts when he's buying! These boys don't play around with their shopping habits. In the end, they leave us with a tease, wondering about the hermit life and the mystery behind it. Is it distaste for the world or some enemy's fault? Will we ever know? Oh, the suspense!
