Lyrics
Devy, pick up the phone
Devy is being called on the phone.
Look, baby this that upper echelon
Describing the status as a higher level of success.
It's a lot of old shit that I been stressing on
Reflecting on past issues causing stress.
Shit that I done been through in the past, I learned a lesson from
Learning from past experiences and mistakes.
Now I'm a artist so I gotta keep that weapon drawn
As an artist, feeling the need to be cautious.
I can't trust nobody, I feel like they tryna X me off
A lack of trust in others, feeling targeted.
And just to let you know
A transition to the next part of the narrative.
Lately I get high, that shit reversed now I feel extra low
Using substances to cope, resulting in emotional lows.
It's a cold world, cold world, baby let it snow
Describing a harsh and challenging world.
I know it's not good to hold a grudge but I can't let it go
Struggling to let go of resentment.
And people ask me how I'm holding up, it's bad, but I can't let it show
Hiding personal struggles despite inquiries.
So fuck it, I'm just running up the racks I watch the money grow
Focusing on financial success to distract from personal issues.
Baby, this that upper echelon
Reiterating the elevated status achieved.
I was going easy, now it's time to turn the pressure on
Intensifying efforts and pressure for success.
Bitches they ain't believe, now I'm the one they tryna settle on
Others now acknowledging and pursuing the speaker.
If you wanna leave then leave, I promise you that you'll be better off
Encouraging someone to leave for their own benefit.
'Cause my young niggas, they gon' set it off
Referencing associates who are ready for action.
I told lil bro be easy, how he rocking heavy metal on him
Advising caution to a friend in a risky situation.
Smoking dope my eyes red, I feel like I turned the devil on
Drug use and its impact on the speaker's state of mind.
All these demons in my head, pop a roxi make me very numb
Struggling with inner demons, seeking numbness.
Time to pick up all the slack 'cause baby all this shit is said and done
Accepting the consequences of actions.
You stabbed me in my back, that's what I get for loving everyone
Feeling betrayed by someone the speaker loved.
It's now or now, if I keep waiting then that time I want will never come
The urgency of taking action now to achieve desires.
And nigga, this that upper echelon
Reiterating the elevated status achieved.
I stay humble even though I could be flexing on 'em
Remaining humble despite success.
Stepping on 'em
Confidently moving forward, possibly on competitors.
I know it's secret animosity but I just keep on blessing 'em
Aware of hidden resentment but choosing to bless others.
And I know it's a lot of niggas watching me, that's why I'm second guessing 'em
Cautious of those observing and potentially hindering success.
Had to separate 'cause if they plan on stopping me, then I just can't be next to them
Choosing to distance from those who may impede progress.
I had to cut off all my bitches 'cause I know that shit ain't real, I can't be texting them
Cutting ties with insincere relationships.
And baby, this that upper echelon
Reiterating the elevated status achieved.
Hope you got all of the messages that I been sending
Ensuring the recipient understands the speaker's messages.
Girl, I'm tired of pretending
Expressing weariness of pretending.
I just don't wanna see the ending
Desiring to avoid a negative outcome.
Baby, this that upper echelon
Reiterating the elevated status achieved.
No, I can't argue with you, you feel like you never wrong
Unwillingness to argue, feeling infallible.
Don't know the man in the mirror, like my reflection gone
Losing connection with oneself, struggling with identity.
Won't say it to you but my feelings, I express in this song
Expressing emotions through the song rather than directly.
Baby, this that upper echelon
Reiterating the elevated status achieved.
Baby, this that upper echelon
-It's now or now, if I keep waiting then that time I want will never come
Emphasizing the urgency of pursuing desires immediately.
