Lyrics
Things are getting real and I'm falling in deep
Expressing the gravity of the situation and personal involvement.
When I was a kid I always knew what I would be
Reflecting on childhood aspirations and certainty about future goals.
Started in the streets,
Originating from a challenging background in the streets.
Next thing I was flexing on a beat
Transitioning to showcasing skills through music.
Would have made it long ago but ugly demons creep
Acknowledging past obstacles and persistent challenges.
I'm chasing the dream that many try and reach
Pursuing a dream shared by many but faced with difficulties.
I'm about peace and I practice what I preach
Emphasizing a commitment to peace and aligning actions with words.
D.I.Y. now I'm standing on my feet
Self-reliance and standing independently after hard work.
I hope one day I'll release
Hopeful anticipation of future success and recognition.
That shit got me on my knees like
Expressing the emotional impact of challenges faced.
Don't worry about me Mama (Nah)
Assuring the mother not to worry, expressing love, and dedicating success to her.
Don't worry about me Mama (No)
-I know you miss me Mama
-I'm just tryna chase my dream Mama (Yeah)
-It's getting better than it seems Mama
-I always knew what I would be Mama
-You know, you know, you know
-This is for you Mama (Yeah)
-Look after my Mama and my sister Lord, please
Pleading for divine protection for mother and sister.
I don't know 'bout my daddy haven't seen that man in weeks
Uncertainty and absence regarding the father figure.
K'yafana we hardly speak
Communication issues with someone close.
Little brother needs some sneaks
Expressing concern for the younger sibling and emphasizing financial responsibility.
So I'm not paying for no freaks
-The best things in life free
Recognizing the value of intangible, meaningful things in life.
There's a lot of shit in my life that I won't forget
Reflecting on challenges, haters, family concerns, and sacrifices made for success.
When niggas was hatin' I posted and I flew jets
-Mama had been askin me what am I gon' do next
-Couldn't go and visit her in her hospital bed
-Niggas shutting doors but they know that I'm the next
-My friends sleeping on me
Facing betrayal from friends and acknowledging the rarity of the situation.
Damn this is just somethin' rare
-My family under Avery told me to never blow jets
Family advice to stay grounded despite success.
Mama raised a king, Mama taught me respect
Highlighting the positive influence of the mother in upbringing.
Don't worry about me Mama (Nah)
Repeating reassurances to the mother, expressing love, and dedicating success to her.
Don't worry about me Mama (No)
-I know you miss me Mama
-I'm just tryna chase my dream Mama (Yeah)
-It's getting better than it seems Mama
-I always knew what I would be Mama
-You know, you know, you know
-This is for you Mama (Yeah)
(Closing dedication to the mother)
