Lyrics
They say the universe is always works in your favor
Belief that the universe always operates in one's favor
May I be the most favorable
Request to be the most favored or fortunate
And this just the beginning
Indication of a new beginning
Kahme baby Pray Up
Artist's self-reference followed by a call to pray
I had to pray for this
Mention of having prayed for current circumstances
I left New York went to LA for this
Left New York to pursue a goal in Los Angeles
A decade later they goin pay for this
Anticipation of receiving payment or recognition after a decade
Matter of fact I think I dropped 50 k for this
Suggesting significant investment (50k) in pursuit of the goal
I was 16 when I knew I was made for this
Realization of being destined for the current path at 16
I got everybody tellin me I aint made for this
Receiving criticism about not being suited for this path
Well you could kiss my ass, and dont even ask
Assertive dismissal of criticism
Disrespect me one more time, and I'm assaulting your ass
Warning of retaliation against disrespect
Had the flow had the voice, learned how to use sound toys
Developing musical skills and tools for performance
This for stadiums, so they learn to make some noise
Aiming for stadium-sized performances
4am with the boys yea we made for this
Confirmation of suitability for late-night activities
I aint really have a job paid in faith for this
Didn't have a regular job but relied on faith for sustenance
For all the nights they were sleeping
Artist's commitment to work while others were sleeping
I was awake for this
Wearing specific clothing, expressing tiredness of not achieving success yet
In my Kidsuper fleece Stan smith feet
Acceptance of the struggle and determination to succeed through hard work
Tired of the fact I aint make it yet
Listening to own music as motivation for success
Over the fact I ain't sleep, bumping Kahme through the speaker
Awareness of the necessity for others' success for the artist's success
Cause I know they gotta eat
Confidence in the journey, indicating no stress
Yea sometimes you just know
Being very confident and relaxed throughout the journey
I ain't even sweat once
Asserting the dryness or lack of struggle during the journey
We super dry, I'm tryna leave my mark
Desire to leave a significant impact akin to Zorro's mark
Z like Zorro
Invocation or prayer to Waheguru (a Sikh term for God)
Pray up, Waheguru Waheguru Waheguru Waheguru
Repetition of Waheguru, emphasizing the importance of prayer
Waheguru Waheguru Waheguru Waheguru
Reaffirmation of the necessity of prayer for the artist's journey
I had to pray for this, I had to pray for this
Reiteration of the necessity of prayer for current success
One year later they aint sayin shit
Recognition of silence or lack of criticism after achieving success
She want her tits done, ass done I aint payin for this
Refusal to fund cosmetic surgery for someone else
Ten Grammys later yea I prayed this
Hopeful anticipation of winning ten Grammy Awards through prayer
Told em that I'm made for this, I'm made for this
Confidence in being naturally suited for the path
Lean on me like some codeine
Metaphorical reference suggesting reliance on the artist
If I hit once she might just odee
Warning of potential consequences if engaging romantically
Just came back from LA bought an Oz
Returning from Los Angeles after purchasing drugs
17 with a dream that they sold me
Feeling deceived by a dream sold to them at 17
How could they sell me
Questioning how they could have been misled
Same team that I started with first season
Remaining loyal to the initial team despite challenges
Atheists' but I'm what they believe in
Reflection on being perceived as an improbable figure by atheists
