Lyrics

I’ve been doing things I wasn’t doing before

I've engaged in activities that were previously unfamiliar to me.

I’ve been moving things I wasn’t moving before

I've been handling things that I didn't handle in the past.

Still cannot afford to hit a Louis V store

I still cannot afford luxury items from Louis Vuitton.

Still the same dude

Emphasis on being the same person despite external changes.

Still the same dude

Still the same dude

We’re locked in, no SportsCenter top 10

We are isolated, not featured on sports highlight shows.

My budget is not big it’s like where can I not spend

My budget is limited, making it challenging to find areas to save.

Barely on the road it don’t matter you got rims

Traveling less doesn't diminish one's worth, regardless of having expensive rims.

I swear we all the same I ain't talking about twins

Despite differences, we are essentially the same; not referring to biological twins.

Times like this it teach us that

Difficult times serve as a teacher.

Honestly to me it’s sad

The speaker finds it disheartening.

Why’s it take a deadly sneak attack for us to see the fact

Reflecting on the unfortunate need for a crisis to recognize certain truths.

We’re all human, we just got some different skin attached

Highlighting our shared humanity, acknowledging only surface-level differences.

Been like that He made us equal, I ain't even good at math

God created us as equals, although the speaker is not adept at math.

This virus affecting everybody

Addressing the universal impact of a virus affecting everyone.

It feel like yesterday I was a kid like Cudi

Reflecting on the rapid passage of time since childhood.

I know I’ve changed but it’s different when you level up and

Change is inevitable, especially when progressing in life.

When the water rise, keep your head above it

Advice to stay resilient when facing challenges.

I’ve been doing things I wasn’t doing before

Reiteration of engaging in new activities and limitations in affording luxury.

I’ve been moving things I wasn’t moving before

-

Still cannot afford to hit a Louis V store

-

Still the same dude

Reaffirmation of maintaining one's identity despite external changes.

I’ve been doing things I wasn’t doing before

-

I’ve been moving things I wasn’t moving before

-

Still cannot afford to hit a Louis V store

-

Still the same dude

Still the same dude

Still the same dude

Uh... there’s so many ways to pass the time

There are numerous ways to use time productively.

More people hittin' ABC's than the Jackson Five

Reference to people learning basic skills, contrasting with the Jackson Five's musical prowess.

Take this time to grow from the lows and then master highs

Encouragement to grow from challenges and capitalize on successes.

When you’re at your best your soul, body, mind are maximized

When at your best, all aspects of yourself are optimized.

I tell 'em hit the chiropractor back in line

Suggesting a need to align oneself, possibly metaphorically, like a chiropractic adjustment.

No no like actually get back in line

Encouraging others to get back on track, both physically and metaphorically.

I’m schooling y’all, fruit don’t fall

The speaker imparts wisdom, emphasizing the influence of upbringing.

Far from trees, Newton’s Law

Referencing Newton's Law of gravity, suggesting consequences for actions.

If two wrongs made a right then who’s at fault

Questioning responsibility when two wrongs seemingly lead to a right.

Who I call when I fall, Yeshua

Turning to Yeshua (Jesus) in times of need.

He’s the one who’s in charge

Acknowledging a higher power in control.

I want a court side seat for the devil’s brutal loss

Desire to witness a significant setback for evil forces.

Truly y’all, sometimes we’re given things we never wanted

Recognition that unwanted things are sometimes bestowed upon us.

When the water rise keep your head above it

Reiteration of advice to persevere in challenging times.

I’ve been doing things I wasn’t doing before

Reaffirmation of engaging in new activities, financial constraints, and maintaining identity.

I’ve been moving things I wasn’t moving before
