Lyrics
They don't need to like me, they'll love me cus I'm an artist
Expressing that being an artist will lead to admiration despite not being universally liked.
They don't need to know me, they gonna hate me regardless
Awareness of being disliked regardless of personal knowledge or acquaintance.
Know they gonna feel me, I'm really putting my heart in
Demonstrating sincerity and dedication by investing genuine emotions.
This is my time, I'm putting on for the garden
Claiming ownership of the present moment to represent and support one's origins (the garden).
Once you start to make it, then you turn into a target
Upon achieving success, one becomes a subject of criticism and attention.
Ite bet then I'm finna be a target
Acceptance of becoming a target due to commitment.
I'm committed, imma finish what I started
Determined to complete what was initiated.
Imma get it, bring my brothers out the darkness
Striving to improve life for close ones by bringing them out of difficult situations.
For my family imma get it and I don't care how
Willingness to achieve success for the sake of family, regardless of the challenges.
Heading to the money, it's a one way route
Being focused solely on pursuing financial success without looking back.
People counting on me that I can't let down
Feeling obligated not to disappoint people relying on the singer.
Sometimes I️ be feeling like the one way out
Sometimes feeling trapped with limited options.
I'm tryna tell her that I love her but I don't know how
Difficulty in expressing love due to uncertainties.
Plus I'm worried if I tell her, she gon run her mouth
Fear that sharing emotions might lead to gossip or exposure.
Bitches do that type of thing just for clout
Observation that some people seek attention by sharing personal information for popularity.
I be hoping that she different but I got my doubts
Hoping for uniqueness in an individual but harboring doubts.
Independent pending anything that come around
Being self-reliant and ready to face any challenge.
I was on my knees and I was looking to the clouds
In a moment of despair, seeking guidance or intervention from a higher power.
EXEMP until they put me in the ground
Continuing a particular lifestyle until the end.
Every single season we were worried bout a drought
Constant worries about lack or scarcity, possibly financial.
This is for my brothers cus they all stayed down
Dedicating the song to loyal friends who stayed supportive during tough times.
So when shit pop off they'll all be caked out
Expecting support from these friends when things get tough.
It'll all pay off, Ma I'll make you proud
Confident that efforts will pay off and bring pride to the singer's mother.
Imma make you proud, imma make you proud
Reiteration of the determination to make the mother proud.
They don't need to like me, they'll love me cus I'm an artist
Reiteration of the themes expressed earlier in the song.
