Open Sesame, see? The street never closed on us
from XV – The Kick Lyrics on Rap Genius
Meaning
XV uses a play on words to describe how the street life (drug dealing, violence, sex) was always openly accessible to young kids.
“Open sesame,” is a magical phrase spoken by Ali Baba in the story Ali Baba and the Fourty Thieves.
I hope he isn’t referring to these streets…
