Alright, I think I'm ready nah

Expressing readiness and confidence to pursue a goal.

Really got my eye on the prize, ain't talking Fetty Wap

Focused on achieving success, not distracted by irrelevant things like Fetty Wap (rapper).

Baby I ain't come for the Wap, I want the Fetty now

Not interested in materialistic desires ("Wap") but seeking financial success ("Fetty").

Really trying to see how it feel what that confetti drop

Curious about the feeling of success, particularly the celebration represented by confetti.

On the road to living my dreams, I took the steady route

Following a stable and consistent path towards realizing dreams.

I think I'm really living my dreams, they call me Freddy now

Feeling like dreams are coming true, adopting the nickname "Freddy."

She said that I was being too loud, I pulled a deady out

Received criticism for being too loud, responded with confidence ("deady" possibly a play on "ready").

How you trying to say that's yo man's, but you ain't bail him out

Questioning the legitimacy of someone claiming another person as their own.

On the road to living my dreams, that's Hoop Mentality

Embracing a mindset focused on success in basketball ("Hoop Mentality").

I'm really trying to work for myself, cause fuck a salary

Desiring independence and rejecting traditional employment ("salary").

Lyrically, I'm heavy weight, ain't lost a calorie

Confident in lyrical skills, comparing it to heavyweight boxing.

She mad that she can't get a reaction, I'm not a allergy

Not easily provoked, immune to negative reactions.

I know that ima be on a caption, with these analogies

Expecting to be recognized and celebrated for clever wordplay.

I used to have a bitch on the side, Carmelo Anthony

Previously had a secret lover, metaphorically referred to as Carmelo Anthony.

She always gave the gift of good head, call it philanthropy

Acknowledging the ex-lover's skill in intimate matters ("philanthropy").

I never hit a brake on her curves, I got good handling

Handled past relationship challenges with skill and composure.

I tried to forgive and forget, but I can't let it go

Struggling to forget past issues in a relationship.

I used to give second chances, I bet you not no mo

No longer giving second chances in relationships.

The first time a nigga slip up, then he got to go

Strict on consequences for mistakes in relationships.

And I can't trip on one you hoes, cause it's a lot of hoes

Not overly concerned about individual women due to their abundance.

Got the top, she giving me brain, she got a snotty nose

Receiving oral pleasure in an intimate encounter.

Boy if I was giving her grades, she on the honor roll

Praising the partner's performance with a metaphorical "honor roll" reference.

Know that rap is gone get me paid, I need a lotta pros

Confident that pursuing a rap career will bring financial success ("lotta pros").

Remember nights when we would pray, it was a lotta those

Reflecting on past struggles and the importance of prayer.

Got a frat with the bros and we ain't got to stroll

Bonding with friends without the need for elaborate activities ("got a frat with the bros").

Just got our minds on the money, we got a common goal

Shared focus on financial success and a common goal with friends.

She telling me she think she in love, told her slow her roll

Dealing with a person claiming love but advised to slow down.

If you wanna play for my team, got to know yo role

Expecting a partner to understand and play a defined role in the relationship.

Rule number one, don't be coming here emotional

Setting emotional boundaries in relationships.

Rule number two, Roll a wood because we smoking too

Establishing rules for recreational activities, including smoking.

Rule number 3, all the rules is non negotiable

Asserting that rules are non-negotiable.

I know that they hating, I ain't tripping, it's free promotion doe

Acknowledging and dismissing haters, seeing it as free promotion.

I'm really bout to bubble, got mo fizz than a sprite can

Confident about future success and gaining popularity ("bubble").

Ain't looking for trouble, but got my gun on the night stand

Prepared for potential trouble, emphasizing self-defense.

I'm sorry my baby, got to go, I am not staying

Apologizing for leaving, citing financial responsibilities.

You know that I got bills to pay, that you is not paying

Prioritizing financial obligations over a relationship.

Plus you always wasting my time cause you be steady playing

Expressing frustration with time wasted due to playing games.

I'm honest, I know I'm not the one, you need a better man

Acknowledging personal shortcomings, suggesting the need for a better partner.

The only time she see me is at night, I'm David Letterman

Meeting only at night, comparing to the late-night show host David Letterman.

I always been too quick on my toes, Julian Edelman

Quick and agile in decision-making, possibly a reference to dealing with challenges.
