Momma cryin she sick again

Father left during the same year.
Round 99 a youngin had to grow
In 1999, the speaker, as a youngster, had to mature quickly.

Emphasizes the same point as line 3.
The only thing for sure in this life is the gold
The certainty in life is the pursuit of wealth (gold).
And a couple shots of henny keep you warm in the cold
Alcohol (henny) provides comfort amidst difficulties.
So I don’t want to lose my soul on this road

Hope I don’t lose my soul on this road to the glory

We do it for the glory

Oh we do it for the glory

That’s the only thing now
Highlighting the importance of recognition or fame in their actions.
Devil trying to play for keeps
The devil presents challenges that threaten to take valuable things away.
Got my seven nine verse pocket queens
Referencing a favorable situation with playing cards, possibly signifying luck or a favorable hand.
But it’s no sweat like a nigga Double O
Dealing with challenges confidently, comparing it to a calm attitude.
Bet I hit it by the river so
Confidence in succeeding despite obstacles.
Put it all in with the hand I’m dealt
Willingness to take risks with the current situation.
Go all in for the fam myself
Commitment to take risks for the benefit of family and self.
And I hope I don’t lose my soul on this hand lord
Concerned about losing integrity or moral values in this risky endeavor.
Hope I don’t lose my soul on this road to the glory
Reiterating fear of losing integrity while pursuing success.
I do it for the glory
Continued pursuit of recognition or fame.
We do it for the glory glory

So I don’t want to hear no more
Desire to avoid criticism or negativity towards their actions.
I do this right now
Asserting the current actions are for recognition or fame.
We do it for the glory
Continued affirmation of pursuing recognition or fame.
I only do this for the glory
Undertaking actions solely for recognition or fame.
So hear this song now
Inviting the audience to listen to this song emphasizing the pursuit of recognition or fame.
So hear this song now

Do this for the glory

I only do this for the glory
Reaffirming the sole pursuit of recognition or fame.
Do this for the glory
Repetition of doing things for recognition or fame.
Run and tell that run now
Encouraging others to spread the message about pursuing recognition or fame.
