Lyrics

Up in the club, takin' shots to the face

Enjoying the nightlife and consuming alcohol directly.

Toast to the fact that we livin' better days

Celebrating the fact that life has improved.

I got tears of joy, I just bought my folks a place

Expressing happiness for buying a home for family.

They told me not to do it, but I did it anyway

Ignoring advice and taking risks despite warnings.

Paid vacays, flyin' home same day

Having luxurious vacations and returning the same day.

We got different issues, baby, we not on the same page, uh

Acknowledging differences and issues in a relationship.

Did the album in New York, but dropped in LA, uh

Recording the album in New York but releasing it in LA.

Shoutout 88, that's my family to the grave

Expressing loyalty and gratitude to 88rising.


There's a shining light in you, baby

Recognizing a positive quality in someone.

Even though your point of view's hazy

Acknowledging a cloudy perspective but seeing a positive light.

You been ready to give up lately

Noticing signs of giving up but emphasizing resilience.

But we all diamonds in the rough, baby

Emphasizing inner strength despite external appearances.

There's a shining light in you, baby

Reiterating the presence of a positive quality within.

Even though your point of view's hazy

Acknowledging a hazy perspective but finding a positive light.

You been ready to give up now lately

Noticing signs of wanting to give up but emphasizing resilience.

But we all diamonds in the rough, yeah, baby

Stressing the resilience and strength within everyone.

Everybody wears the mask I made (uh-huh)

Commenting on the universal use of masks in society.

In the club, in the room, or on the face (uh-huh)

Describing the presence of masks in various situations.

Act shy, you think I'm angry (grr)

Addressing a misunderstanding, appearing angry when shy.

I just drove my shit, I think it's vibratin'

Suggesting the intensity of emotions or experiences.

I know I'm rich when I drive fast

Feeling wealthy and successful while driving fast.

When you see my eyes, then relax please

Asking others to relax when looking into the speaker's eyes.

Sorry, I'm not paid to say, oh

Apologizing for not being paid to speak.

I just wanna like, baby, say hello

Expressing a desire to connect and say hello.
