I Ain't Gon Lie
Risks and Redemption: J.I's Intense Journey Through Life
Lyrics
(Sensei, this shit hard)
Sensei, acknowledging the difficulty or toughness of the situation
(Infamy)
Reference to infamy or being infamous
Yeah, ooh-oh
Introduction, expressing emotions (yeah, ooh-oh)
I ain't gon' lie
Asserting honesty or truthfulness
Someone gon' die
Stating the serious consequences, possibly violence
If they try reachin' for these chains around my neck
Defending oneself from threats, protecting valuables
I ain't gon' lie
Reiteration of honesty, admitting occasional drug use
Sometimes I be gettin' high
Clarifying a commitment to avoiding a destructive lifestyle
But I ain't goin' out, like them fiends I stay in check (oh, oh)
Rejecting a reckless lifestyle and maintaining control
And I would tell you how it's turnin' out
Dismissing someone as irrelevant or unimportant
But you're not somebody I'm concerned about
Emphasizing disinterest in someone's opinions or actions
You was politickin' on my name (yeah, oh)
Accusing someone of spreading rumors or gossip
Know I'm that nigga you gotta learn about (yeah)
Asserting significance and importance
Might get shot by this pocket rocket
Warning of potential danger, possibly from carrying a weapon
If you watchin' my pockets, so stop it, nigga
Addressing those who focus on materialistic pursuits
And you gotta pop, lock, and drop it
Referencing a dance move, suggesting a carefree lifestyle
So don't come if you not trynna top a nigga
Advising against engaging if not willing to compete
It's gonna be alright don't you worry, little bitch
Offering reassurance amid challenges
Heart cold, ice, ice baby, just like my wrist
Comparing a cold-hearted attitude to ice, expressing confidence
And I heard they want me dead, told 'em put me on that list
Acknowledging threats but showing fearlessness
And I ain't scared of shit, especially when it comes to risks
Expressing fearlessness in the face of risks
I take 'em all
Embracing and facing all challenges without hesitation
My dawg just wanna get high, I told him he poppin' too much
Advising against excessive drug use
And if you put your money where your mouth is
Encouraging backing up words with actions
You wouldn't pop it too much (no)
Criticizing those who don't follow through with promises
And if we talkin' about locations, they never dropped it for us (no)
Expressing dissatisfaction with support or loyalty
And I could give a fuck if the floor wet, they ain't moppin' us up
Disregarding minor obstacles and challenges
And I told her all my secrets, now she my weakness
Sharing personal vulnerabilities with a romantic interest
And they aimin' for my head, I gotta play defense (oh)
Acknowledging the need for caution and self-protection
Diamonds on my Carti's, y'all should see how I peep shit
Boasting about expensive accessories and keen observation
These niggas federalie, I gotta watch who I speak with
Distrusting certain individuals due to potential legal issues
I ain't gon 'lie, murder on my mind
Reiterating honesty, implying thoughts of violence
I see homicides when I'm sleepin' in my bed
Experiencing intense thoughts or dreams about violence
I ain't gon' lie, some niggas switchin' sides
Recognizing betrayal and deciding to sever ties
I'ma cut them ties and put some money on they head
Committing to retaliation against those who betray
