No Mo
No Mo: Embracing Change and Finding My Own Path
Lyrics
Say she don’t cry no mo'
Saying that she doesn't cry anymore.
Don’t dry her eyes no mo'
She no longer dries her eyes from crying.
Won’t pay no mind, oh-oh
She won't pay attention anymore because she is no longer his.
Cause she ain’t mine no mo'
Expressing the realization that she is no longer in a relationship with him.
I feel like time move slow
Feeling that time is moving slowly.
Cooped up in my new home
Feeling confined in a new home.
I’m in the same ol’ city, she on a brand new coast
He is in the same old city, while she is in a new location.
I’m making no new friends
Not interested in making new friends.
All my OGs ten toes
Staying loyal to his original circle of friends.
I focused in on this music, I told my movement "Let’s go"
Focus on his music and encouraging his movement to progress.
She out gon’ party all night
She is out partying, and he wonders about her experiences.
Say she ain’t met him before
She claims not to have met someone before.
I just wonder what it like
Curious about what her new life is like as college closes its doors.
But college closin' the door
His eyes are low, possibly indicating a state of relaxation or substance influence.
It’s like my eyes too low
Struggling to see things clearly.
I could not see things straight
Reflecting on a period where clarity was elusive.
But when I look at my life
Looking at his life and realizing its impact.
This shit put me in my place
The challenges he faced put him in his place.
All of my plans involve the world in my hands
His plans involve achieving success and influence.
It’s like I talk on the real
Speaking the truth in his conversations.
They tell me "Shut up and dance"
Advisors tell him to dance rather than talk.
I tie up all of my ends
Resolving all his matters and severing connections.
I burn the blunt like a bridge
Burning bridges, possibly cutting ties with the past.
They want to know how it feel, I just say "Listen to this"
People want to know how it feels, and he asks them to listen to his music.
Oh-oh
Repeating the chorus.
Oh-oh
-Oh-oh
-Oh-oh
-Oh-oh
-Oh-oh (Yeah)
-Oh-oh (This how it feel)
-Oh-oh (This what I'm up to!)
-Oh-oh
Continuing the chorus.
Oh-oh (Yeah!)
Expressing enthusiasm or agreement.
Oh-oh
Repeating the chorus.
Had to keep you in the loop
Keeping someone informed about his actions.
Doin' donuts in the coupe
Engaging in reckless driving in a fancy car.
I sit back and smoke the truth
Reflecting and contemplating on the truth while smoking.
Bury records buy the loot, by the loot
Investing in success, possibly through music.
What it do
Greeting or checking in.
I stopped goin' for the two
No longer chasing unattainable goals.
I quit jumping through the hoops
Quitting activities that don't lead to his goals.
I got tired of missin' you, missin' you, girl
Tired of missing someone.
Say she don’t cry no mo'
Repeating the chorus with additional details.
Don’t dry her eyes no mo'
-Won’t pay no mind, oh-oh
-Cause she ain’t mine no mo'
-Girl, you been gone too long
-Touché, I grow on my own
-Just wait this song grow on you
-That’s what I’m writin' it for
-Baby girl, you moved west side (I)
Describing geographical locations and connections with people.
Inhale 'til my chest feel right (Like)
-Nowadays I spend my time like investments, money on mind (Right)
-My team still stay east side (I)
-Got blood who ride or die (Like)
-They’a saved my life two times
-You can take what’s yours, they’a get what’s mine
-I been at work in my city buildin' up like Pru’
Working on self-improvement and maintaining control.
You fuck around
-You on one, I wait 'til I’m on too
-I’m in my zone now
-Diamonds tell me "Slow down
-You know that we got this, homie
-Don’t lose your control now"
-I bet it be like pools and mansions on the greener of sides
Anticipating a better future with wealth and success.
I been too blue for a while, know my future too bright
Feeling down but expecting a bright future.
It’s like my current place in life is yo ass 25
Comparing his current life situation to someone aged 25.
They want to know how it feel, I tell em it feel like
Responding to those curious about his feelings.

-Oh-oh (When you livin' real life)
-Oh-oh
Continuation of the chorus.
Oh-oh
Repeating the chorus.
Had to keep you in the loop
Repeating the narrative of self-improvement and missing someone.
