Watch me do my thing
Confidently showcasing one's abilities or performance
Oh you think I changed?
Responding to the perception of change with a rhetorical question
If you went through what I went through you wouldn't be the same
Explaining that personal experiences have shaped the artist's identity
If you fit inside of my shoes you'd prolly' blow out your brain
Highlighting the potential impact of experiencing the artist's challenges
I got no one to blame
Acceptance of personal responsibility
Really I can't complain
Expressing contentment despite challenges
Only the strong survive
Emphasizing resilience and survival of the fittest
And I got full control of my rage
Claiming control over anger or frustration
Me and you are not the same
Asserting differences between the artist and the listener
I'm on a whole another page
Indicating a significant divergence in perspectives
You think I'm stuck in my ways
Addressing perceptions of being stuck in one's ways

Acknowledging the other person's pursuit of money based on facial expression
