Lyrics
No P's, no home, it's broken
No money (P's), no home; life is broken
The chain you stole, it's frozen
The stolen chain is frozen, possibly representing a halted or stagnant life
Yeah, we came from the blocks and the sick zone
Originating from challenging neighborhoods ("blocks") and difficult situations ("sick zone")
The snakes and the fakes and the brick phones
Facing challenges from deceptive individuals, fake friends, and illegal activities
I went to school with him, now he's got a headstone
Someone the artist knew from school has passed away and has a headstone
In the ends it's full of jakes so the feds know
The neighborhood is filled with undercover police ("jakes") who are aware of the situation
The peng tings used to keep us is friendzones
Attractive individuals used to put the artist in the friend zone
Only talkin' to the guys in the Benzos
Communicating only with successful individuals driving Benz cars
How can I live my best life if my friends die?
Expressing the difficulty of living a fulfilling life when friends are dying
I'm tryna get a private jet so the ends fly
Aspiring to achieve success and wealth, symbolized by a private jet
I'm tryna buy all of the blocks so the ends mine
Desiring to own and control the entire neighborhood ("blocks")
Still sayin' RIP Cadet but it's ten times
Paying tribute to the late Cadet multiple times
So many siblings in the yard, my mum was workin' hard
Having numerous siblings; the artist's mother worked hard to support the family
So I'ma be the one to have her shine like a star, ah
Determined to make the artist's mother shine like a star
To have a shine like her star, ah, ah, ah
-I'm from South where there's
From South, where there is violence, crime, and danger
Shottys poppin', bodies droppin', dotties shottin'
Describing the harsh realities of life, including violence, death, and imprisonment
Niggas dyin' out here
-People gettin' locked up, mothers cryin' out tears
-So many flippin' niggas that be livin' in fear
-Why do we do it? Why we gotta prove it?
Questioning the reasons behind engaging in dangerous activities
I pray to God and now I had faith inside the music
Finding faith and inspiration in music
Oh, shit can never be the same
Reflecting on the irreversibility of losing influential figures and dealing with pain
We losin' all our legends and we gotta live with pain, you know
-No P's, no home, it's broken
Reiteration of the challenging circumstances and limited opportunities
The chain you stole, it's frozen
-Yeah, we came from the blocks and the sick zone
-The snakes and the fakes and the brick phones
-I went to school with him, now he's got a headstone
-In the ends it's full of jakes so the feds know
-The peng tings used to keep us is friendzones
-Only talkin' to the guys in the Benzos
-Riz and the chip, yeah, that's a hood starter pack
Mentions Riz and Chip, signifying a connection to the hood; references to drug-related activities
Louds incompatible, I might need a louder pack
-Bro was in the bando, had to whip an ounce of that
-I was in the trenches, I couldn't amount to that
Personal experience in the difficult conditions of the trenches
I was in the trenches, straight out of the mud
Originating from challenging circumstances, emerging from poverty ("mud")
Niggas wanna talk about me, you ain't held a gun
Addressing those who criticize without having experienced the artist's struggles
I don't hold a Nina, baby, but I know I've won
Not personally engaging in violence but having associates who do, expressing through music
But I got guys to do the dirt while I be singin' from my lungs, yeah
-No P's, no home, it's broken
Repetition of the challenging environment and limited social circles
The chain you stole, it's frozen
-Yeah, we came from the blocks and the sick zone (sick zone)
-The snakes and the fakes and the brick phones (brick phones)
-I went to school with him, now he's got a headstone
-In the ends it's full of jakes so the feds know
-The peng tings used to keep us is friendzones
-Only talkin' to the guys in the Benzos
-How can I live my best life if my friends die?
Expressing the emotional difficulty of enjoying life when friends are lost
I'm tryna get a private jet so the ends fly
Aspiring to achieve success and acquire wealth
I'm tryna buy all of the blocks so the ends mine
-Still sayin' RIP Cadet but it's ten times
Continued tribute to the late Cadet
So many siblings in the yard, my mum was workin' hard
Having a large family with a hardworking mother; determined to make her shine
So I'ma be the one to have her shine like a star, ah
-To have a shine like her star, ah, ah, ah
Reiterating the desire to make the artist's mother shine like a star
