Lyrics
What?
Expression of surprise or confusion
Yeah, hey
Informal greeting
Too many try to war with me, I play the game like chess (what?)
Facing challenges, using strategic thinking (like chess)
Standin' on a podium, everyone place they bets (yeah, yeah, what? yeah)
Confidence in a competition, metaphorical reference to betting
Are you blem? Are you blessed? (What?)
Asking if someone is flawed or blessed
I cannot fear no one because I'm my biggest threat
Not fearing external threats, self-awareness of personal challenges
They gon' rinse the well 'til it's dry and nothing left
Exploitation of resources until depleted
And they gon' wish me well, but they really wish me death
People pretending goodwill but secretly wishing harm
And I can call a glizzy that gon' sing like Adele (choppa sing like Adele)
Weapon reference (choppa) with a play on Adele's singing
If I play the game, I could never lose a health (no, no, no)
Avoiding damage or harm in the game of life
Jeff Hardy, I jump up in the cell, yeah, yeah (what?)
Reference to Jeff Hardy, known for daring moves in wrestling
All these snakes, I rock snakes on my belt (what? Yeah, what?)
Symbolic use of snakes on the belt, possibly representing deceit
And when you hear my name, it ring them bells (yeah, what?)
Recognition and attention when his name is mentioned
When you hear my name, it ring them bells
Repetition for emphasis on recognition
And they be chasing me, but they be snails (huh, huh, huh)
People pursuing but at a slow pace
Step up in my mind, a living hell (huh, huh, huh, what?)
Mental state described as a challenging environment
I feel like I got nobody left (yeah, huh, what?)
Feeling isolated, lacking support
K-I double L, I don't take L's
Asserting resilience and refusal to take losses
So damn frightening (yeah)
Expressing intense fear or intimidation
So damn frightening, wrist piece lightning
Describing flashy jewelry, possibly a watch
So damn frightening (wait, what?)
Repetition for emphasis on fear
So damn frightening
Reiteration of intense fear
All these foes, they try to get beside me (lames)
Enemies attempting to get close
And all these hoes, they wanna get beside me
Attention from undesirable individuals
But how many gon' really like my psyche? (Psyche, psyche, psyche)
Questioning how many truly understand his mindset
So I just chase a check like it's Nike (what?)
Prioritizing financial success like the Nike slogan
Patience, all I need is perfect timing (yeah)
Emphasizing the importance of timing and patience
Too many try to war with me, I play the game like chess (what?)
Repetition of the strategic approach in facing challenges
Standin' on a podium, everyone place they bets (yeah, yeah, what? yeah)
Reiteration of confidence and betting metaphor
Are you blem? Are you blessed? (What?)
Repeating the question about being flawed or blessed
I cannot fear no one because I'm my biggest threat
Self-awareness of personal challenges and threats
They gon' rinse the well 'til it's dry and nothing left
Exploitation of resources to the point of depletion
And they gon' wish me well, but they really wish me death
Contrast between outward good wishes and hidden ill intentions
And I can call a glizzy that gon' sing like Adele (choppa sing like Adele)
Weapon reference with Adele comparison
If I play the game, I could never lose a health (no, no, no)
Avoiding harm or loss in the game of life
