Lyrics
Yeah
The artist expresses affirmation or agreement.
Yeah
-EyeMan
Introduction of the artist's name.
They talk about me
People discuss the artist, but their knowledge is limited.
They talk about me
-But they don't know me
-They talk about me
Continuation of the theme - people talk about the artist without truly understanding them.
They talk about me
-But they don't see me
-They talk about me
Reiteration of being talked about without being truly seen.
They talk about me
-But they don't see me
-And the eyes never see
Reference to the limitations of perception - eyes don't see beyond beliefs.
What you can't believe
-So they talk about me
-But they don't know me
Contrast between being talked about and being truly known.
I use to be broke had zero homies
Past struggles of being broke contrasted with current success.
Now i'm rich putting gold on poneys
-Double entendre you know me
-Now you see me now you know me
Play on words with "Now you see me, now you know me."
Use to say that i'm a liar
Addressing accusations of lying and phoniness.
Look at you man you a phony
-Everybody knows a phony
-Now you know that you a liar
-What you want a talk about me
Defying negativity, achieving success, and challenging perceptions.
Look at me we getting higher
-I be rolling higher, higher
-In the cullinan higher, higher
-In the cullinan we liars
-Oh yeah man now you see
Desire for others to emulate, but recognizing the impossibility of being identical.
Want to be like me
-Cause you can't be me
-But the eyes can't believe what they don't see
-So you want to be me but you can't be me
-They talk about me
Repetition of the theme: being talked about without true understanding.
They talk about me
-But they don't know me
-They talk about me
-They talk about me
-But they don't see me
-They talk about me
-They talk about me
-But they don't see me
-And the eyes never see
Reiteration of the idea that eyes can't see beyond preconceived beliefs.
What you can't believe
-So they talk about me
-But they don't know me
Restating the disconnect between talk and true knowledge.
I don't really know man what u saying
Reflection on life's challenges, resilience, and the inevitability of facing adversity.
In this life man too much slaying
-All u haters slowly drowning
-Cause ain't no body praying
-I'm coming back like phoenix rising
-The good die young too much treason
-I'm only yo for a reason
-The good die young too much treason
-Deep dive

into the beginning

I planted the seed

Playful comparison of directions, possibly representing versatility.
And you want to flaunt
