Introduction to the theme of the song: a sense of fear or unease
It's getting scary like Halloween
Reiteration of the escalating fear likened to the intensity of Halloween
It's getting scary like Halloween
-Gotta ride for the team (Gotta ride)
-It's getting scary like Halloween
-It's getting scary like Halloween
Repetition, emphasizing the growing fear, hinting at witnessing unsettling things
Can't repeat the things I seen (What you see, what you see)
Suggesting the witnessed events are too disturbing to recount or share
It's getting scary like Halloween, know what I mean
Comparing the feeling of fear to Halloween, emphasizing its intensity
When you start getting paper (Paper)
Reflection on success accompanied by potential adversaries or haters
It's gone come with some haters (Haters)
-Think I'm scared of opp (What)
-Michael Meyers was my neighbor (He was)
-Lotta women wanna date us
Recognition of attention from women due to elevated status and talent
Probably cause I'm high status
-I am not one you should mess with
-I'm really one of the best (I am)
-When you coming from the bottom
Expressing the journey from a challenging past to a successful present, acknowledging achievements
To get to the top is amazing (It's amazing)
-You seem so updated
-I just took the bar and raised it (I did)
-I used to tell em' be patient
-Now I just tell em' we made it (We up)
-First thing in the morning I thank my lord and savior (Thank you God)
Gratitude towards a higher power for protection and guidance
Keep me protected from danger
-Keep me surrounded by angels
-I turn nothing into something
Comparison of creative prowess to a magician, pride in musical talent, and recognition of personal worth
I'm like a magician
-But I'm really a musician (I'm a musician)
-I am not rapping, I'm spitting
-I should really win a medal
-My bitch put me on a pedestal
Acknowledging mobility and presence in areas others might avoid, referencing past struggles
I put my foot on the pedal (Skrt)
-I really be in the ghetto (I do)
-I go to places they won't go
-When you broke they taunt you (They will)
Reflection on the challenges of poverty and the haunting fear of failure
If you don't make it, it haunts you
-I had to do what I had to
Persistence and success against adversity, making personal achievements
I really turned things around
-Made my whole team proud (Proud)
-And I got a new style (Style)
Evolution of style and confidence, indicating pride and self-assuredness
I'm on, wipe me down (Wipe me down)
-Get her wet like the seven seas
Awareness of jealousy from others, confusion about the source of their animosity
I can see they got some jealousies
-I don't know why they mad at me (They getting mad)
-This gone be the scariest day of the year (Yeah)
Repetition of the chorus, asserting fearlessness and resolve to stand firm despite the perceived 'scariest day of the year'
This gone be the scariest day of the year
-I ain't got no fear, I'm gone keep standin' right here
-We ain't got no fear, we gone keep standin' right here (Wooh)
