Lyrics
I guess everything don't turn gold
I acknowledge that not everything becomes valuable or successful.
Take mine, gotta take my soul
Accepting the cost, even if it involves sacrificing my essence or identity.
And I'm ballin' like I'm Kobe
Expressing success and confidence comparable to basketball legend Kobe Bryant.
Gotta keep them two fours
Keeping a symbolic reference to the number 24, associated with Kobe Bryant's jersey number.
If they tryna rap, keep them two flows on me
Being prepared with two different rap styles if someone challenges me.
If they want smoke, keep a couple bows on me
Ready for conflict, armed with strength and resilience.
Yeah, them boys cool, but I'm by my lonely
While others may be cool, I prefer being independent and self-reliant.
I might pour the mud, we gon' sip and die slowly
Contemplating indulgence in substances like codeine, risking a slow demise.
I been on the run, girl, I feel like I'm the old me
Feeling a return to a previous version of oneself while on the run.
Can't call it, you been stalling
Uncertain situations, potential delays, or hesitations.
This a hundred fifty thou, we been ballin'
Acknowledging substantial financial success in the amount of $150,000.
Came up fifty-five two the apartment
Rising from humble beginnings to a more prosperous living space.
I might drop a thirty, call me BOYFLY Harden
Considering dropping a large sum of money, likening to basketball player James Harden.
Balenciaga track pants I got a dub in them
Wearing expensive Balenciaga track pants with a significant amount of money in them.
Big stepper, crack heads
Confident and bold, leaving an impact on those around.
I'm spillin' mud on em'
Symbolically staining or influencing others with my experiences or actions.
Play your cards right, girl, don't let me catch you bluffing
Advising someone to play their cards wisely, avoiding deception.
I'm Houdini with this music, I turn nothin' into something
Claiming to possess magical qualities in music, turning challenges into successes.
Yeah, my homie gave me thirteen, I brought him eighty back
Receiving a substantial amount of trust (thirteen) and returning it multiplied (eighty).
We only sit floor seats, I'm where AD yet
Preference for premium seating, comparing to basketball player Anthony Davis (AD).
When I'm up in New Orleans, they think AD back
Creating an illusion of a significant return to a place, akin to Anthony Davis returning to New Orleans.
Twenty for a feat, I go crazy like a maniac
Setting a high price for collaboration, expressing intense creativity.
Stay in my lane, stay in my lane
Committing to staying focused and true to oneself.
Cut the top, chop the roof
Symbolic actions of modifying one's surroundings, making them more open.
Stay in my lane, stay in my lane
Repetition of staying in one's lane and altering one's environment.
Cut the top, chop the roof
Reiteration of modifying one's surroundings and staying true to oneself.
How you runnin' from the fame? Everything gon' change when you go against the rules
Questioning the decision to avoid fame, warning about the consequences of breaking rules.
