Lyrics
So many days on in
Reflecting on a prolonged period of time.
I thought I could make it from a dream in a bedroom
Expressing the aspiration to succeed starting from a humble beginning.
Goals of having caviar fed to me while I’m flying high with whole lotta leg room
Desire for a luxurious lifestyle, symbolized by caviar and comfortable travel.
I can still hear the gun shots
Recalling past experiences of gun violence.
That traumatized me at 9 yrs old
Impactful childhood trauma caused by gunshots at the age of 9.
I use to have same dream myself getting hit
Sharing a common dream of being a victim of violence.
Seeing Body turned cold
Witnessing the aftermath of violence, possibly death.
Certain things kids ain’t supposed to see
Acknowledging exposure to inappropriate and disturbing scenes during childhood.
Growing up in places u shouldn’t be
Growing up in challenging environments not suitable for children.
Now you grown
Transitioning into adulthood.
up done became beast
Despite being humble, exhibiting a fierce and unrestrained nature.
Humble but his azz still off the leash
Emphasizing a liberated and assertive personality.
Blessed to see 30
Grateful for reaching the age of 30 despite potential dangers.
Cuz these niggas carry 30’s
Acknowledging the prevalence of firearms in the environment.
I done seen em get buried
Witnessing others succumb to violence and being buried.
End yo life in hurry
Highlighting the urgency and unpredictability of life-threatening situations.
Man this shyt get scary
Expressing the unsettling and frightening nature of the environment.
Ya know Da streets a do you u dirty
Warning about the harsh reality of the streets and potential betrayal.
Tryna to ball out
Aspiring to achieve success and prominence.
Now ya name on a jersey
Transitioning from a challenging environment to having recognition in sports.
I been down and that’s a fact
Confirming a period of hardship or struggle.
Some how I seem to always
Expressing resilience and the ability to recover from difficulties.
bounce back
Consistently overcoming challenges.
I been holding on for yrs now
Enduring difficulties for an extended period.
Believing things would be different
Believing in the possibility of a different and better future.
