Lyrics

Ever since I built my buzz

Expressing success and recognition since gaining popularity.

I don't get the same love

Not receiving the same level of love or support as before.

And I told my niggas I ain't never switchin' up

Declaring loyalty to friends and asserting no change in character.

Started with zero niggas, now I'm zero niggas 'cause

Started with no companions, and now back to having none.

Had to get it on my own and they ain't givin' two fucks

Emphasizing self-reliance and overcoming challenges independently.

But I got it from the mud

Repeated affirmation of achieving success from humble beginnings.

Got it from the mud

-

I got it from the mud

-

I got it from the mud

-

And nobody helped me from the start

Highlighting a lack of assistance or support from others initially.

So nobody don't gotta be a part

Asserting independence and not needing others to be involved.


Fuck the other side, there's loyalty in my blood

Rejecting the influence of opposing forces, prioritizing loyalty.

Can't trip about designer 'cause I got it from the mud

Not valuing designer items, emphasizing origin and authenticity.

Sprite dirty, Crush dirty, like I got it from the mud

Referencing tainted drinks, symbolizing a gritty lifestyle.

I owe you, you can't get it from me so take a slug

Owing nothing to others, warning against trying to take advantage.

South Side of my city and I grew up where the wars at

Growing up in a challenging neighborhood with frequent conflicts.

No school but I walked with plenty books inside my book bag

No formal education but carrying knowledge and ambition.

Teacher say I'ma be dead in jail with my lil' ass

Teacher's pessimistic prediction about the narrator's future.

Now she callin' me to do a show where she book at

Ironically, now invited to perform where success is evident.

30K for a show, take fifteen for a feature

High value for performances but lower for collaborative features.

The streets a dirty bitch gotta be hungry or they'll eat you

Describing the streets as harsh and unforgiving.

Gave bro 21 long distance, lawyers couldn't reach it

Referencing a distant relationship strained by legal issues.

He ain't tryna hear it though, 'cause he tired of niggas preachin'

-

Ever since I built my buzz

Repetition of earlier themes, reinforcing the journey and success.

I don't get the same love

-

And I told my niggas I ain't never switchin' up

-

Started with zero niggas, now I'm zero niggas 'cause

-

Had to get it on my own and they ain't givin' two fucks

-

But I got it from the mud

-

Got it from the mud

-

I got it from the mud

-

I got it from the mud

-

And nobody helped me from the start

-

So nobody don't gotta be a part
