Lyrics
Yea, yea, yea
Expressing agreement or affirmation.
Used to just party, look for the pollies, now I be keeping my cool
Previously focused on partying and seeking excitement, but now maintaining composure.
Narcotics was on me, rap was a hobby, I wasn't thinking bout school
Had drugs around, pursued rap as a hobby, neglected academic pursuits.
Pops he would preach, mama would teach, but they know that I was not listening
Parents advised, but the speaker was inattentive.
Pressure on me, standards to meet, made me feel like a participant
Felt the weight of expectations, leading to a sense of being a participant in life's challenges.
I told Him to leave, but He wouldn't leave me, He wasn't giving up on me
Addressing a spiritual presence or influence that persisted despite attempts to push it away.
I know people they tease, they say that I'm cheesy, they don't know nothing bout me
Aware of people mocking, possibly misunderstanding the speaker.
I know I was acting fool, but now I be keeping my cool
Previously behaved foolishly but now maintaining a composed demeanor.
I know people they after me, Satan he after me, but God he be looking after me
Acknowledges external threats but believes in divine protection.
Used to just party, look for the pollies, now I be keeping my cool
Reiteration of the transition from a party-focused lifestyle to a more composed one.
Narcotics was on me, rap was a hobby, I wasn't thinking bout school
Reiterating past involvement with drugs and a lack of focus on education.
Pops he would preach, mama would teach, but they know that I was not listening
Recalling parental guidance that was previously ignored.
Pressure on me, standards to meet, made me feel like a participant
Reflecting on the pressure and standards that contributed to feeling like a participant.
Now I be acting brand new, God be my guide, show me what else to do, yea
Currently adopting a new attitude, seeking guidance from a higher power.
I know that I always got you, you opened my eyes and you showed me the truth, yea
Expressing gratitude for newfound understanding and truth.
Just know, that I got a big team, and they praying for me, and it really do show, yea
Highlighting the support of a supportive community that prays for the speaker.
No, I don't smoke no weed, I don't pop no beans, I don't need no drugs, yea
Rejecting substance abuse, emphasizing a drug-free lifestyle.
Don't care if they rocking with me, cause I'm still gon murder beats, and I'm still gon hit The road
Not concerned with others' opinions, confident in musical abilities and commitment to the journey.
I don't needa sip on no more lean, the devil want me underneath, he want me all alone, Yea
Refusing to succumb to negative influences, particularly avoiding substance abuse.
But the devil a liar, he want you to burn in the fire
Recognizing deception and negativity in the speaker's life.
Had to learn to control my desires, now God he be lifting me higher
Learning to control desires, attributing personal growth to a higher power.
Used to just party, look for the pollies, now I be keeping my cool
Reiteration of the shift from a party lifestyle to a composed one.
Narcotics was on me, rap was a hobby, I wasn't thinking bout school
