Lyrics

Now that I'm different, I know how to act

Expressing self-awareness of personal growth and ability to behave appropriately.

No, I cannot hang with a rat

Refusing association with deceitful or untrustworthy individuals.

Don't call my phone, asking' me where I'm at

Rejecting inquiries about current location, indicating a desire for privacy.

They said I can't rap, so you know that I'm back

Addressing past criticism of lacking rap skills and asserting a comeback.

I'ma move up and take over the game

Expressing determination to ascend and dominate the music industry.

I'm versatile, I be switching' them lanes

Highlighting versatility by smoothly transitioning between different styles.

This is the start of something' new and it's far from over, so we gon' celebrate

Anticipating success and emphasizing that the journey is just beginning.

And my niggas knew that

Acknowledging the support of friends who recognized the artist's potential.

Newsflash I got my crew back New swag I might just use that

Announcing the return of the artist's crew and flaunting a new style.

I came in clutch like a putback And I carry my weight like a book bag

Describing a successful and impactful performance, drawing a basketball analogy.

I destroy all these rappers and don't like to look back

Expressing a forward-focused mindset, not dwelling on the past.

Every time I drop your album, get pushed back

Claiming superiority by causing delays in the release of competitors' albums.

They try they hardest just to make me look back

Highlighting efforts by others to bring the artist down, but without success.

Cause they want me to fail

Addressing the desire of others for the artist to fail.

I keep my balance, I don't need a scale

Emphasizing self-sufficiency and stability, not relying on external measures.

My flow too heavy, I'm breaking' the scale

Boasting about the substantial impact of the artist's lyrical flow.

Keep workin' hard, man, we gotta prevail

Encouraging hard work and perseverance for ultimate success.

I write my lyrics, but ain't go to Yale

Contrasting personal achievement in lyricism without a formal education.

I stay on track, but your girl I'ma rail

Asserting commitment to goals while playfully referencing romantic conquests.

These other rappers don't play fair

Observing unfair tactics by other rappers but affirming a fair approach.

But you know me, I take care

Stating the artist's responsible and caring nature despite challenges.

Now that I'm different, I know how to act

Reiterating the theme of personal growth and improved behavior.

No, I cannot hang with a rat

Repeating the rejection of association with dishonest individuals.

Don't call my phone, asking' me where I'm at

Reemphasizing the desire for privacy and independence.

They said I can't rap, so you know that I'm back

Reaffirming the comeback in response to doubters of the artist's rap skills.

I'ma move up and take over the game

Restating the determination to rise and dominate the music scene.

I'm versatile, I be switching' them lanes

Reiterating the ability to switch between different musical styles.

This is the start of something' new and it's far from over, so we gon' celebrate

Reasserting the belief that the journey to success is just beginning.

And they know that I'm droppin' the heat

Announcing the release of high-quality music that will generate excitement.

And your girl finna rock to the beat

Predicting positive reception, with listeners enjoying and dancing to the music.

And your ex-man wanna beef

Acknowledging potential conflicts with a past romantic partner's new interest.

But he's not on my level, so we cannot beef

Asserting that the competitor is not on the artist's level, avoiding conflict.

You know me, I just be keepin' the peace

Expressing a preference for peace and harmony in personal relationships.

I need a house, wanna buy me a lease

Stating a desire for stability and independence in housing.

Cause if I'm playin', I'm playin' for keeps

Affirming a serious commitment to endeavors, not taking things lightly.

But let me not get ahead of myself

Humorously cautioning against getting overly excited about success.

Y'all get comfortable, I'ma just continue on

Encouraging the audience to relax while promising to continue the narrative.

Now that I'm different, I know how to act

Reiterating the theme of personal growth and improved behavior.

No, I cannot hang with a rat

Declining association with untrustworthy individuals, emphasizing growth.

Don't call my phone, asking' me where I'm at

Reiterating the desire for privacy and independence in personal affairs.

They said I can't rap, so you know that I'm back

Reaffirming the comeback in response to doubters of the artist's rap skills.
