Lyrics

I can't do nothin' but thank God for the new shoes

Expressing gratitude to God for acquiring new shoes.

I ain't have a clue what to do

Initially unsure about what to do in life.

Gotta thank God for a lot, I ain't on the block

Acknowledging gratitude to God for various blessings, not involved in illegal activities.

Nigga better stop, who is you?

Advising someone to stop questionable behavior and questioning their identity.

They gon' talk a lot when you not on top, now I'm hot

People gossip when one is not successful, now experiencing success.

Now a nigga cop what he wanna cop off the lot

Now able to afford what he desires.

Why they worry 'bout what a nigga got? Ayy

Questioning why others are concerned about his possessions.


Bitch, I ain't worried 'bout you

Not bothered about someone.

Never had a lot, but I made a cop and I made it pop

Despite a humble background, managed to acquire valuable items and make things happen.

Made it do what it do

Overcoming challenges and making things work.

Punchin' in the clock, money in the box just to wear some rocks

Working hard, earning money, and spending it on luxury items like jewelry.

Still graduated school

Achieving academic success despite difficulties.

'Member I was bummy, now I'm gettin' money, cookin' up with Sonny

Transformed from a poor state to financial stability, collaborating with someone named Sonny.

Man, they said that I would lose, yeah

Others doubted his success, but he proved them wrong.

So I had to bust a move, oh, yeah, yeah

To succeed, he had to take decisive action.


Mama cried on Christian really sittin' in the back seat

Mother cried, possibly in a difficult situation, in a car on Christian street.

I was only tryna make our sister way too happy

Trying to make a sister happy, maybe indicating a commitment to family.

I know you probably love me more if I had stayed a athlete

Speculating that his mother would love him more if he pursued athletics.

So I been runnin' through these fuckin' hundreds like a track meet

Spending money rapidly, likening it to running in a track meet.

Then ever since we fell out, I ain't kept up with my acne

Relationship issues, possibly with someone named Acne.

I been solo-doloin', ain't had them on the back knee

Being independent, facing challenges without support.

Heard word around the city, man, some niggas wanna whack me

Rumors of danger in the city, feeling threatened.

Four hundred, Taylor totin', tell a nigga, "Come get at me," yeah

Carrying a firearm for protection, challenging others to confront him.

I'm in the game now

Entered a new phase of life, likely success.

I took my brothers out the ghetto and I ain't changed now

Helped siblings escape poverty and hasn't changed despite success.

I love they mothers like no other through my veins now

Expressing deep affection for his siblings' mothers.

Neck clutter when I rock a couple chains now

Wearing multiple chains as a symbol of success.

Best cover when I tell you that the gang slide

Asserting loyalty to his gang.

Next bust'll come through bustin' at the same time

Planning coordinated actions with his gang.

Bad bustin', 'bout two hundred, set the lane fire

Referencing a high-value drug transaction setting a lane on fire.

Chest burnin' from his burner, I just thank God

Thankful for surviving a dangerous situation.


I can't do nothin' but thank God for the new shoes

Reiterating gratitude to God for new shoes.

I ain't have a clue what to do

Reflecting on past uncertainty about life.

Gotta thank God for a lot, I ain't on the block

Thankful for various blessings, not involved in illegal activities.

Nigga better stop, who is you?

Advising someone to stop questionable behavior and questioning their identity.

They gon' talk a lot when you not on top, now I'm hot
