Lyrics
Yeah
Expression of agreement or acknowledgement.
Okay
Confirmation or approval.
Let's go (Damn Sundae, this shit nasty)
Excitement to start; reference to a producer (Damn Sundae).
Yeah
Reiteration of agreement or affirmation.
Started rappin' when I was 11
Commenced rapping at the age of 11.
Where I'm from, I'm already a legend
Already considered legendary in the place of origin.
To the city I rep' I'm indebted (Okay, yeah)
Feeling indebted to the city being represented.
Holdin' it down from the East to the West
Claiming influence and impact from East to West.
The North and the South and everywhere else
Extending influence to the North, South, and everywhere.
When everyone doubted I bet on myself (Yeah, let's go)
Choosing self-confidence when faced with doubt.
Got somethin' to say, better say it direct
Encouraging direct communication for clarity.
It's only your homiеs who think you got next
True friends recognize potential for success.
I'm numero uno, they takin' offеnce
Asserting oneself as the best, facing criticism.
I know I'm that nigga for real
Self-recognition as a significant figure.
This industry know it ain't easy replacin' the best
Acknowledging difficulty in replacing the best.
How do you? (How?)
Rhetorical question on hating without knowing.
How do you hate on a nigga you ain't even met?
Questioning hate from unfamiliar individuals.
My shawty be dressin' to kill
Partner dressing impressively; personal style.
I'm fresh to death like we just came from the Met
Being stylish, akin to attending the Met Gala.
Stackin' it up til' it's lookin' as tall as Durant
Accumulating wealth, referencing Kevin Durant's height.
I ball like I play for the Nets
Performing exceptionally well, likened to NBA's Nets.
I know you (Swish, yeah)
Awareness of online personas not matching reality.
I know you ain't tough as you are on the net
Casting doubt on someone's toughness.
You blowin' your cover, just lay it to rest
Revealing true character, dispelling false images.
Nigga this shit is as real as it gets (Yeah, let's go, for real)
Emphasizing authenticity in the presented content.
Came from the bottom
Highlighting a journey from a challenging beginning.
They fell from the top, I cannot relate (Ayy)
Contrasting experiences, inability to relate.
Fuck what they sayin' I do what I want, I did what it takes (Yeah)
Ignoring external opinions; achieving goals.
I find it ironic how I be on ten after rollin' a eighth (Yeah)
Noteworthy contrast in mood after consuming marijuana.
Told you that I ain't just tryna be good, I gotta be great (Yeah)
Expressing determination to excel, not just be good.
Went through the pain and sufferin' (Keep goin')
Enduring pain and hardship for personal growth.
Kept it a K, it's nothin' (Nothin')
Maintaining composure in difficult situations.
Two different strains I'm puffin' (Okay, let's go)
Indulging in different varieties of cannabis.
You don't mean what you say, you just bluffin'
Calling out insincerity, detecting bluffs.
It's a campaign I'm runnin'
Running a metaphorical campaign; unconventional path.
They say I'm insane, I love it (Okay, let's go)
Embracing uniqueness, even if considered insane.
They know when I'm rollin' with Jody and Staxx I get hard to approach (Ayy)
Difficulty in approaching when with specific individuals.
Said I would make it and you niggas thought I was makin' a joke (Ayy)
Fulfilling promises; doubters thought success was a joke.
Now they know every year in October that boy gon' be doin' the most (Yeah)
Consistently excelling every October, making an impact.
Maybe that's why they be tellin' you niggas that me and them bros (Yeah)
Possibly explaining why others associate with the artist.
Started rappin' when I was 11
Reiteration of starting to rap at a young age.
Where I'm from, I'm already a legend
Reiteration of being a legend in the place of origin.
To the city I rep' I'm indebted (Okay, let's go)
Reiterating indebtedness to the represented city.
Holdin' it down from the East to the West
Reiterating influence across geographical locations.
The North and the South and everywhere else
Reiterating influence in all directions despite doubts.
When everyone doubted I bet on my, bet on my- (Yeah)
Undeterred confidence in oneself despite skepticism.
