See with your eyes dilated for the sake of the Gs

from Joey BADA$$ – Unorthodox Lyrics 5 on Rap Genius

Meaning

Smart wordplay.

Sake of the G’s = Money

Sake of the G’s = Peer pressure


Typically when a human see’s something they want, their eyes dilate. It’s a natural response from the sympathetic nervous system, which we have no control over. Joey uses this image to explain how alot of artists eyes dilate when they see the money side of music — they loose all creative control.

Furthermore he’s referring to how “weaker” people will resort to pleasing those around them for the sake of being considered cool or accepted.
