Lyrics
Someone told once what was holding me back was myself
Someone advised that self-limitation hindered progress.
I brushed it off but lookin back those wise words woulda helped
Initially ignored wise advice; regrets not heeding it.
Had I knew then what I know now
If past knowledge matched current wisdom, could overcome challenges.
Coulda beat da cards that were dealt
Could have overcome life challenges if aware of current knowledge.
But fuck it, oh well
Acceptance of the past and its consequences.
The sun gon come up like it did September the Twelfth
Optimism despite past challenges, akin to a new day after 9/12.
Do you remember how it felt
Reflecting on the feelings of a carefree past.
To live a life without a concern over money or health
Recalling a time without financial or health concerns.
Or a life without worry that yo phone givin government help
Reflecting on a life without worry about phone surveillance.
Or maybe a life that ain’t judgmental as Hell
Desire for a non-judgmental life.
Gram popppin
Engaging in casual greetings, possibly with family or friends.
What’s poppin
-Who’s poppin
-I got champagne chillin in my fridge that I ain’t popped yet
Delaying celebration until the right moment.
Waitin on a proper time for me just to unbox it
-Been feelin like a prophet
Feeling prophetic about the upcoming year, dismissing gossip.
Like this gon be the year
-Heard all of their gossip
Confident despite negative talk, comparing to a silent auction.
Like this won’t be his year
-Silent like an auction
Observing copied actions, acknowledging imitators.
Words whispered
-Two deaf ears
-Clearly what I do is copied by my peers
Recognizing insecurity and insincerity in others.
And if I’m being honest
-Well I honestly they insecure
-Insincere
Highlighting an instance of others being insecure.
Here’s an instance here
Noting people attempting to rap without proper skill.
I keep hearin people tryna rap who got not business here
-Switchin lanes, switchin lang
Switching lanes metaphorically, leading to the current situation.
Which brings us here
-Things they're tryna do
Aware of trends and popularity, aiming for success.
Cus it’s hot this year
-Tryna pop this year
-Boy
Encouraging others to stop hindering progress.
Stop this year
-Lemme tell you how I feel since I’m tapped into this mode
Expressing feelings while in a specific mindset.
They wanted me to tap out
Resisting pressure to quit; connecting with inner self.
So I tapped into my soul
Immersed in the universe and facing a critical decision.
Smack dab in Universe
Metaphorically at a crossroads, GPS taking control, breaking norms.
With a fork in the road
-GPS has taken controls
-I’m breakin all molds
Breaking societal expectations and norms.
And I ain't stoppin til I'm gettin that gold
Persistent pursuit of goals until achieving success.
What yall aimin for?
Repeated questioning of others' aspirations, encouraging self-reflection.
Wh-Whatchu aimin fo'
-What what whatchu aimin' fo'
-Whatchu aimin fo'
-What what whatchu aimin' fo'
-Whatchu aimin fo'
-What what whatchu aimin' fo'
-Whatchu aimin fo'
-What what whatchu aimin' fo'

Casual greeting or inquiry about someone's well-being.
Heard you tryna be a balla
Awareness of others aspiring to emulate the artist.
Heard ya wanna be just like Meez
-But you aimin for the followers
-Heard you wanna be a balla
Recognition that others can't replicate the artist's success.
You can't do it like Meez (They can't do it like you Meez)
-Heard you wanna be a balla

-Heard you wanna be a balla
