A Million Degrees
A Million Degrees: Igniting Dreams, Overcoming Odds, and Rising to the Heat
Lyrics
I know I been gone for a minute
The speaker acknowledges their absence for a while.
To let the light in I’m on 500 watts
They're making a concerted effort to bring brightness or positivity into their life.
I know a few niggas they sick in the head
Refers to acquaintances who may have psychological issues or problems.
Yeah they just might pull up at your spot
There's a threat or possibility of those troubled individuals arriving uninvited.
I figured the runt of the pack put the fam on his back
Feeling responsible for supporting their family despite being the underdog.
So I’m doing a lot
The speaker is putting in considerable effort.
I need every dollar deserved and I meant every word
They want fair compensation for their efforts and mean what they say.
Bitch I’m scraping the pot (Pot!)
Expressing scraping the bottom of the barrel for everything they can get.
Professor daylight let me teach you
The speaker assumes a mentorship role, ready to impart knowledge.
I done turned all of the hate to believers
They've turned detractors into supporters.
Motherfuckers be thinking I need them
People mistakenly believe the speaker needs them.
Next time they see me bet they pay for a feature
Those individuals will likely pay for the speaker's contribution next time.
My mama still need a new kidney
Personal revelation about the speaker's mother needing medical help.
I’ll finesse the plug to pay for the procedure
Implying resourcefulness to fund the necessary medical procedure.
Til’ then I’ll be serving the work before work
Working diligently even before official work hours.
Damn I think that I need me a beeper
Humorous consideration of needing a beeper due to being so busy.
I’m hot like a hundred degrees (Hot)
Repeated emphasis on extreme heat as a metaphor for success or status.
No I’m hot like a thousand degrees (Hot)
-No I’m hot like a million degrees (Hot)
-Yeah I’m hot like a million and I need a million
-I’m hot like a hundred degrees (Hot)
Continued emphasis on extreme heat and the need for substantial success.
No I’m hot like a thousand degrees (Hot)
-No I’m hot like a million degrees (Hot)
-Yeah I’m hot like a million and I need a million
-Okay hakuna matata
Reference to a carefree attitude, reminiscent of "no worries" in Swahili.
Let me sit back and woosah all my problems (Woosah)
Attempting to relax and destress from life's issues.
They got me thinking bout buying a pole
Considering drastic measures to solve problems, though aware it won't fix them.
Though I know that it ain't gone solve them
Despite hunger or desperation, they're aware of earning money.
Feel like I’m a shark in a fish tank
Feeling powerful and hungry for success despite deprivation.
And a nigga ain’t ate in like 11 days
Despite not having consumed for a while, they're still earning.
But I’m getting paid
They're making money despite difficulties.
Let a nigga try me I'm a lay him to rest on the seventh day
Confident in their ability to handle any challenge or confrontation.
Okay say that boy hot like a hot plate (Hot!)
Comparing their hotness or popularity to a hot plate.
Gang with me something like a top 8 I (Squad!)
Having a supportive group, akin to a top friends list on social media.
Beat a nigga up he get in my space
Ready to defend personal space but also willing to help if respect is given.
I might treat a nigga if he get in my face
-Nah I can’t fuck with ya
Unwillingness to assist someone seeking help without trying on their own.
Need a handout you can’t get that shit by yourself
Not providing aid to someone incapable of helping themselves.
Fuck around and make you flat line like
A warning of potential harm or danger if someone depends too much.
It can get real bad for your health
Consequences for relying excessively on others could be severe.
I'm on a hundred degrees
Reiteration of extreme heat as a metaphor for success and the need for substantial achievement.
hot like a thousand degrees
-Million degrees
-Million and I need a million
-Hot like a hundred degrees
-Hot like a thousand degrees
-Million degrees
-Hot like a million and I need a million
