Lyrics
1998 a whole legend was made
Reflects on the creation of a legend in 1998.
I am who I am can't have it no other way
Embraces one's true self, rejecting any other way.
Ima make this last forever ain't no way I'll degrade
Determined to maintain success and not degrade over time.
Ima fatherless child but I still found my own
Despite being fatherless, the artist found his own way.
Way
Expressing individuality and unique path.
Luckily I had grandad that showed me the ropes
Grateful for guidance from a grandfather.
And how to navigate this world
Learned how to navigate life's challenges.
when my back hit them ropes
Refers to facing difficulties but not giving up.
You know lose it all and get it back
Experienced loss but regained success.
I been there before
Personal experience of overcoming challenges.
Beat the odds reach the top I gotta pass this shit on
Sharing success and lessons with others.
That's the realest I can do until the day that I'm gone
Commitment to realness until the end.
While I'm here ima leave my mark in this world that I'm on
Leaving a lasting impact on the world.
We systematically designed to fail
Critique of a system designed for failure.
Fuck that we strong
Asserting strength in the face of adversity.
That's my message to this world it's all love in my zone
Promoting love and positivity in the artist's zone.
Ima keep this shit a lock until the day that I die
Securing and protecting one's principles.
She gone fuck me for my status I ain't even gone lie
Acknowledging the impact of status on relationships.
All my diamonds like to shine I know it hurt a nigga pride
Boasting about the shine of personal achievements.
All that hating hit different when you can see it in they eyes
Noting the different impact of hate when seen in others' eyes.
Had a couple of niggas switch and that ain't catch me by surprise
Experienced betrayal but not surprised.
Mama told me everybody not your friend she ain't lie
Learning from a mother's advice about friendship.
And every bitch is not your bitch You gotta learn to watch your side
Emphasizing the need to be cautious in relationships.
You can't be trusting everybody they a devil in disguise
Warning against trusting everyone, as some hide true intentions.
Luckily I had grandad that showed me the ropes
Reiteration of the positive influence of a grandfather.
And how to navigate this world when my back hit them ropes
Recalling guidance in navigating life's challenges.
You know lose it all and get it back
Emphasizes the cycle of losing and regaining success.
I been there before
Personal experience of overcoming odds.
Beat the odds reach the top I gotta pass this shit on
Passing on the lessons of reaching the top against odds.
Ain't no way I'm stepping down I know that made some niggas frown
Asserting a refusal to step down despite opposition.
Legendary ass nigga till the day I hit the ground
Declaring a commitment to a legendary status.
I can't go out like a bitch and I won't go out like a clown
Avoiding a dishonorable or clown-like exit.
Niggas talking down make me wanna spray some fucking rounds
Reacting strongly to negativity from others.
Luckily I had grandad that showed me the ropes
Reiterating the positive influence of a grandfather.
And how to navigate this world
Repeating the theme of navigating life's challenges.
when my back hit them ropes
Refers to facing difficulties but not giving up.
You know lose it all and get it back
Emphasizes the cycle of losing and regaining success.
I been there before
Personal experience of overcoming odds.
Beat the odds reach the top I gotta pass this shit on
Passing on the lessons of reaching the top against odds.
1998 a whole legend was made
Reflects on the creation of a legend in 1998.
I am who I am can't have it no other way
Embraces one's true self, rejecting any other way.
Ima make this last forever aint no way I'll degrade
