Lyrics

Smoking out, pourin' up, keep that lean up in my cup

Engaging in recreational activities like smoking and drinking lean, maintaining a relaxed lifestyle.

All my cars got leather and wood, in my hood they call it buck

Expressing affluence with cars featuring leather and wood interiors; "buck" is a local term in his neighborhood.

Everybody wanna ball, holla at broads at the mall

Desire for success and attention, particularly from women at the shopping mall.


I don't care (Do what you do)

Indifference to others' actions, encouraging individual freedom.

I don't care (Do what you do)

Reiteration of not caring about others' choices, reinforcing personal autonomy.


And my city's on, Che Guevara . Suzy baby, don't compare 'em.

Pride in the city's vibrancy and a warning not to compare him to historical figures; "Suzy baby" suggests self-identity.

I think its time I step out on my own,

Expressing a need for independence and self-discovery.

So much confusion and doubt in my home.

Highlighting personal struggles and conflicts within the home environment.

How you stay grounded when you growin' wings?

Rhetorical question about maintaining humility despite achieving success.

Take all yo' pain write it down in a song.

Channeling personal pain into creative expression, possibly through music.

Take all yo' homies and go put 'em on.

Promoting loyalty and supporting friends by giving them opportunities.

Stages, checks, and television

Mentions of success, financial gain, and exposure through stages and television.


(But ain't nothin' change still heartbreak gang)

Despite success, emphasizing allegiance to the "heartbreak gang," indicating loyalty and roots.

(But ain't nothin' change still heartbreak gang)

Reiteration of loyalty to the "heartbreak gang."


Smoking out, pourin' up, keep that lean up in my cup.

Repetition of the earlier theme of engaging in recreational activities, reinforcing a carefree lifestyle.

All my cars got leather and wood, in my hood they call it buck.

Reiteration of material success and the local term "buck."

Everybody wanna ball, holla at broads at the mall

Reaffirmation of the desire for attention and success, particularly from women at the mall.


I don't care (Do what you do)

Reiteration of indifference to others' actions, promoting individual freedom.

I don't care (Do what you do)

Continued emphasis on not caring about others' choices, reinforcing personal autonomy.
