Kill It
Rise Above: AP The Gift's Triumph Over Adversity
Lyrics
Yeah, huh, heard they been waiting for this one
Anticipation of the release, addressing the audience.
Yeah, ayy, yeah, yeah, ayy, heh, AP
Introduction, self-identification as AP.
Thought I was gone, guess these niggas was sleep
Perceived absence, suggesting others overlooked the artist.
On the air mat, used to write all my feats
Early struggles, referencing writing on an air mattress.
Got off my ass and I got on my feet
Overcoming challenges and achieving success.
Ain't shit broke, but your mindset
Emphasis on a positive mindset.
I've been walking now, catch me flying jets
Advancement in life, from walking to flying jets.
Running up, buying assets
Financial growth, investing in assets.
Them haters ain't smart, they ain't thinkin' like me
Comparison with haters, highlighting intelligence.
Guess if I was them, I'd be trying to compete with myself
Encouraging self-improvement, not competition with others.
Read all my exes, put them on the shelf
Moving on from past relationships.
I watch my enemies just like an elf
Vigilance towards enemies.
But I got a secret gift
Teasing a hidden talent or advantage.
Tell them, follow my lead and we jump the cliff
Encouraging followers to take risks.
Know they scared, but I'm catching my fall
Facing fears and overcoming obstacles.
TwoK the clique on my niggas, gon' ball
Unity and success of the artist's clique.
Four bars, I kill it, ain't dropping no call
Confident in delivering impactful lyrics.
I hit and record got her dropping her draws like
Reference to romantic encounters after a successful recording.
Kill it, kill it, kill it
Repetition emphasizing the artist's ability to "kill it."
Go to work on the beat like
-Kill that shit
-Tryna see what it seem like
-Kill that shit
-To be number one at the top
-You know I can't stop, you know
-I'm a kill that shit
-Tryna vibe with my fans, we up in the stands
Connecting with fans during live performances.
You know that we be like
Reinforcing the theme of excelling and impressing.
Kill that shit
-Yeah, ATL livin' fasho
Living in Atlanta, facing challenges in the music industry.
They tried to close it, my foot in the door
-They tried to tell me they canceled my show
-Promoters be fake, so I know how it go
-I'd rather stack up my cheese, get this on my own
Rejecting fake promoters, prioritizing independence.
Boy, you so fake, heard you dissin' my flow
-I tried to give you a flyer, boy, you retired
-You know your shit gettin' old
-I chase my wildest desires, might need some pliers
-I just might loosen your bolt
-With the crew I ain't breakin' the code
Commitment to loyalty and trust within the crew.
Know my whole team can vouch for me
Seeking validation from the artist's team.
It's the way that you sit on your ass
Critiquing those who complain and lack ambition.
Complain and eat on the couch for me
-Tried to put a couple niggas on
Failed attempts to help others due to their lack of effort.
But they ain't have the hustle in 'em you see
-I was bad down in the Ville
Background and commitment to an independent path.
Ayy, born I was really in the field
-Put in work, I ain't doin' no drills
-Independent shit, we ain't signin' no deals, yeah
-Unless you wanna end up in a pickle
Warning against negative consequences for others.
Boy, I know you not hard, you just really fickle
-Call your girl and she give me that tickle, tickle
-She a dime, but I treat her just like a nickel
-Thought I was gone, guess these niggas was sleep
Reiteration of overcoming challenges and achieving success.
On the air mat, used to write all my feats
-Got off my ass and I got on my feet
-Ain't shit broke, but your mindset
-I've been walking now, catch me flying jets
Continued growth and investment in assets.
Running up, buying assets
-Them haters ain't smart, they ain't thinkin' like me
Comparison with less intelligent haters.
Guess if I was them, I'd be trying to compete with myself
Reflection on past relationships and monitoring enemies.
Read all my exes, put them on the shelf
-I watch my enemies just like an elf
-But I got a secret gift
Reference to a hidden talent or advantage.
Tell them, follow my lead and we jump the cliff
-Know they scared, but I'm catching my fall
Overcoming fears and succeeding with the artist's clique.
TwoK the clique on my niggas, gon' ball
-Four bars, I kill it, ain't dropping no call
Confidently delivering impactful lyrics.
I hit and record got her dropping her draws like
Reference to romantic encounters after a successful recording.
Kill it, kill it, kill it
Repetition emphasizing the artist's ability to "kill it."
Go to work on the beat like
-Kill that shit
-Tryna see what it seem like
-Kill that shit
