Lyrics
I been ten toes down in a rut
I have been firmly grounded in a difficult situation
And I ain't never one to front but I figure when you this damn down on your luck
I don't pretend, but when you're really down on luck, the only way is up; I'm a bold and rebellious person, I don't care
The only other way is up young nigga i'm a Rudechild I don't give a fuck
Expressing resilience and indifference, asserting a rebellious attitude
So imma sip it till it's done till it feel like we up... yea
I'll continue to endure it until it feels like we've overcome the difficulties; likely referencing the consumption of alcohol as a coping mechanism
So fuck it we up... yea
Emphasizing the idea that they've overcome challenges and are now in a better place
And i'm drunk
Expressing intoxication or being under the influence
Yea yea yea
Repetition for emphasis or rhythm
Hop out the pavement fuck nigga fuck is you saying nigga you know what my name is
Confidently dismissing someone who disapproves or criticizes, asserting their identity
Broke and i'm blessed niggas is angry and famous fuck it i'd rather be nameless
Acknowledging a difficult financial situation but feeling blessed; rejecting the desire for fame if it comes with negativity
Head and my shoulders my heart on my sleeve
Listing body parts metaphorically to convey openness and vulnerability
I don't wan' be ain't nobody but me
Desiring authenticity and individuality
But last year took a real ma'fuckin toll on me
Reflecting on a challenging past year that had a significant impact
Only felt the pleasure through the passion and the pain
Finding joy and fulfillment in both positive and negative experiences
This year couple real niggas went and road on me
Alluding to betrayal or negative actions from people close to them
Everything I am remind them niggas what they ain't
Affirming their identity and success in contrast to others
But I know when i'm swallowed and the rain come down I'll be ten toes down
Expressing determination to stand strong in challenging times
With my head held proud sipping brown fill that shit in my cup... yea
Proudly facing difficulties, possibly using alcohol as a coping mechanism
So fuck it we up yea... and i'm drunk...
Reiterating success and the influence of alcohol
I been ten toes down in a rut
Repetition of the earlier theme of being stuck in a difficult situation
And I ain't never one to front but I figure when you this damn down on your luck
Reaffirming the idea that when you're at rock bottom, the only direction is up
The only other way is up young nigga i'm a Rudechild I don't give a fuck
Asserting a rebellious and carefree attitude
So imma sip it till it's done till it feel like we up... yea
Continuing to endure challenges until improvement is felt
So fuck it we up... yea
Emphasizing the achieved success despite difficulties
And i'm drunk
Reiteration of being under the influence
I been on the way the only way is up
Asserting that the only way forward is upward
Ain't shit left to say the only way is up
Stating that there's nothing more to be said, emphasizing the focus on progress
I been on the way the only way is up
Reiterating the theme of upward movement
Ain't shit left to say the only way is up
Emphasizing that words are insufficient, action and progress are key
I been on the way the only way is up
Continuing to emphasize the only viable direction is upward
Ain't shit left to say the only way is up
Underlining the importance of not wasting time, focusing on progress
Ain't got time to waste the only way is up
Expressing a sense of urgency and the need to move forward
Look me in the face the only way is up
Directly addressing the audience, asserting that the only way is up
