Lyrics

Ayy, Why it matter if you're back against the wall? you supposed to be going forward

Challenges don't matter; you should focus on moving forward.

Ain't no one tryna put the work in so I'm solo scoring

No one is putting in the effort, so I'm achieving success on my own.

Rollin' back to back throughout the night I'm geeked up till the morning

Continuously partying through the night, fueled by excitement until morning.

Barely playing by the rules, the fuck I look like trying to enforce them

Not strictly following rules because enforcing them doesn't suit me.

And I ain't never been a fan for fame

Not interested in seeking fame.

I ain't never used to pay attention now a days attention pays

Previously ignored things, but now attention brings rewards.

Been had that stash up in the shoebox laced for rainy days

Long-term preparation for difficult times with a stash in the shoebox.

I feel like Johnny, my shit cold as ice, everybody saying Dang

Feeling confident and cold as ice, gaining attention from everyone.

Y'all keep thinking with your dick the stressing bout some peace of mind

People focusing on pleasure rather than finding peace of mind.

While I keep thinking bout what's rich and how I make all that shit mine

My focus is on wealth and how to make it mine.

All it take is time, nah that's a lie, you gotta put in work

Success requires time and hard work, not just waiting.

You can't second grind then show your hand won't never come in first

Consistent effort is necessary; showing your hand too soon leads to failure.

Always on alert, you did me wrong I still ain't do you dirt

Remaining vigilant, not retaliating even when wronged.

X them out, trying to check my list won't wash it down with perks

Removing negative influences, not masking problems with substances.

You watered down, no I won't never drown I can't go out the worst

Not succumbing to difficulties, refusing to experience the worst.

Like way to go they showing love they ain't show before and that shit hurts

Receiving love from those who didn't show it before, but it hurts because it's not genuine.

Cause it ain't genuine, they just tryna be around the next star

People pretending to be around for the next star, lacking sincerity.

Presidential, like to stay secluded black out the whole car

Keeping a low profile, preferring privacy, blacking out the car windows.

They cop a Hellcat and assume they'll dodge where all the rain goes, money brings peace until it's gone

Material possessions bring peace temporarily until they're gone.

And fucking nine to five, got too much talent for a job

Rejecting traditional jobs due to possessing too much talent.

On the run begging for mercy had to stop and talk to God

Reflecting on life, seeking guidance from a higher power.

Undefeated, cause them L's was lessons I ain't took a loss

Always learning from losses, never truly defeated.

And I ain't always win but some I can assure is that I always be the odds

Not always winning, but certain about overcoming challenges.

For sure, fire shit, stay dropping back to back, stop, drop and roll

Consistently releasing impressive content, unstoppable.

Hail Mary, I been on the streak, fuck stop and go

Continuing a successful streak without interruptions.

Confident, but no I ain't cocky still got a lot to know

Confident but not arrogant, acknowledging the need to learn more.

Making big waves, hold on, It's gon' rock the boat

Creating significant impact, causing disruptions.

Put me on the stage, fill an arena, gon' rock the show

Confident about performing on stage, captivating large audiences.

How the fuck you really rich if your partners broke

Questioning true wealth if close associates are struggling.

Troll searching, put it in a plant, that's a pot of dope

Searching for trouble, likened to cultivating illicit substances.

They ask why I'm so focused on money it takes a lot to cope

Intensely focused on money due to the challenges of coping.

I started out with wires and a phone but had a lot of hope

Started with minimal resources but maintained hope.

Tied up, got in some bullshit, but this not a rope

Involved in problematic situations but not tied down.

Stuck up, got on the wrong lane, but I found the road

Strayed from the right path but found the correct one.

Jumped in, even though the cons outweighed the pros

Taking risks despite the drawbacks.

Ayy, Why it matter if you're back against the wall? you supposed to be going forward

Reiterating the importance of moving forward even when challenged.

Ain't no one tryna put the work in so I'm solo scoring

Still, no one is willing to put in the effort, achieving success independently.

Rollin' back to back throughout the night I'm geeked up till the morning

Continuing the party streak through the night until morning.

Barely playing by the rules, the fuck I look like trying to enforce them

Defying conventional rules because they don't align with personal values.

And I ain't never been a fan for fame

Not attracted to fame or its trappings.

I ain't never used to pay attention now a days attention pays

Previously indifferent, but now recognizing the value of attention.

Been had that stash up in the shoebox laced for rainy days

Prepared for difficult times with a stash of resources.

I feel like Johnny, my shit cold as ice, everybody saying Dang

Feeling confident and unapproachable like Johnny, attracting attention.
