Protect Positive Squad

Song Meaning

This track opens with a declaration of self-reliance and a rallying cry: "Smoked out Positive Squad!" The repeated question, "Who put this thing together?" is answered with a resounding "Me!" This establishes a core theme of personal agency and the narrator's sole authorship of their positive outlook. The insistent refrain, "Protect Positive Squad!" acts as both a personal mantra and a call to arms for this self-created ethos. The narrative then shifts to a spoken-word explanation of the "Positive Squad's" origin. The narrator admits to being in a deep slump, struggling with depression and drug use. This raw confession highlights the contrast between their internal state and the outward projection of positivity. They deliberately chose to "reppin' Positive Squad" even while feeling like a "negative motherfucker," suggesting a conscious effort to manifest a desired state. The effectiveness of this self-imposed positivity is demonstrated through the narrator's actions: "tweeting all the time, writing positive shit on my twitter, like everywhere." This deliberate, consistent effort, even if initially performative, is presented as a catalyst for genuine change. The lyrics suggest that the act of outwardly expressing positivity, regardless of internal feelings, can eventually lead to a more positive internal state, as it "eventually it just got like more positive."
