Lately
Chasing Vibes: Alabama Nick's Journey through City Lights
Lyrics
Popped by the corner store, I need me some amenities
Seeking basic supplies from the nearby store
I don't really come around much, it's hard to get to me
Expressing infrequency in visiting, challenging to reach
I don't really come around much, it's hard to get to me
Repeated line, emphasizing remoteness
Lately, I been on a vibe (yeah, yeah)
Recently, experiencing a particular feeling or mood
Lately, I been wantin' to ride (yeah)
Desiring to go for a ride or journey lately
No tint on the windows, no it ain't a rental (oh)
Car has transparent windows, not a rental vehicle
Had an epiphany, I'm reachin' my crescendo (yeah)
Realizing reaching a climax or pinnacle in life
Mercedes coupe rollin', you can see them headlights (lights)
Driving a Mercedes coupe, visible headlights
I don't even pause for no stop signs or red lights
Ignoring stop signs and red lights, possibly metaphorical for not halting ambitions
Crazy thoughts in my brain, got my head feelin' light (feelin' light)
Having intense thoughts causing a light-headed sensation
Still on a paper chase for that bread through the night
Continuing to pursue money or success throughout the night
Mama told me slow this shit down to give me insight
Mother advises slowing down for insight, contrasting with the continuous hustle
But I know it's goin' down from the morning to the night (uh-huh)
Acknowledging the non-stop nature of events from morning till night
I don't get a lot of sleep, I gotta catch a early flight (yeah)
Lacking sleep due to early flights, indicative of a hectic lifestyle
I'm in another major city, tryna get it (get it, get it)
Present in various major cities, striving for success
Mixin' boards with the faders and we tryin' to hit it (hit it, hit it)
Working with audio equipment, aiming for success
Freaks blazin' in the next room, you know they with it (with it, with it)
Indicating others' engagement in activities nearby, possibly suggestive
Hotel lobby waitin', they want me to hit it (ooh)
Being approached at a hotel but refusing advances
Nah, baby, I don't get caught in the okie-doke (uh-huh)
Refusing to fall for deception or tricks
You fine as hell, lookin' well
Complimenting someone's appearance but preferring discretion
Keep that low-key though (yeah, you fine as hell, baby)
Repeated admiration for appearance, emphasizing secrecy
I been tryna take it slow, keepin' my shit on the low
Attempting to proceed cautiously, keeping actions private
Yeah, I know I look familiar, keep on walkin' though
Recognizing familiarity but intending to remain anonymous
'Cause you don't know me, bro, 'cause you don't know me, bro
Emphasizing the lack of understanding or recognition from others
And if you ain't gettin' that money, what you doin', homie?
Questioning the purpose of someone not pursuing money
Yeah, I'm laughin' to the bank, 'cause that shit be funny (funny)
Amused by making money, finding it humorous
Got that blicka on me, got that blicka on me (ooh, ah, ah)
Referencing having a firearm for protection
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, got that blicka on me (ooh)
Reiterating possession of a firearm for safety
Got three ounces in my carry on, I wish I had that liquor on me
Desiring alcohol in a situation where it's not readily available
Popped by the corner store, I need me some amenities
Revisiting the corner store for necessities
I don't really come around much, it's hard to get to me
Repeating the difficulty to reach or connect with
Popped by the corner store, I need me some amenities
Revisiting the corner store for necessities
Popped by the corner store, I need me some amenities
Repeating the visit to the corner store for necessities
I don't really come around much, it's hard to get to me (uh-uh)
Reiterating the challenge of accessibility
Yeah, it's hard to get to me (yo, yo, uh)
Reaffirming the difficulty in reaching or understanding
Ayy, it's hard to get to me (it's hard to get to me)
Emphasizing the difficulty in reaching or understanding
